This comes from a thread on the Bioware Social Network and personally some of these concepts look brilliant, my personal favourite is the Elcor husk and hopefully Bioware adds these into the game later on somehow.
Here's the varren concept, I'm nicknaming him the unicorn. Pretty funny how despite my best efforts he still came out looking adorable.

Reaper Thresher Maw (or Reaper Kalros) it fights with a retractable reaper beam cannon (I sure seem to love cannons). I wanted to try an actual scene for once instead of just a concept. Included process shots for this one.

By popular demand and to celebrate this weekends multiplayer rebellion pack, the reaperized vorcha. I used to play a lot of left4dead so I was influenced by the spitter zombie.

I thought it was weird that the Reapers bypassed the Yahg in the game since the other races had already considered them for uplifting so they must have been further along the evolutionary process than humans/asari/turians were the last time the reapers came around. Seems like bypassing the yagh would have given them ample time to become a viable threat during the next cycle, maybe moreso than the protheans even, given the extreme intellect and strength displayed by the shadow broker. My reaper Yagh has his arms converted into scaled down versions of thannix cannons, he's also got a sort of blade attachment coming out of his cranium for headbutt charge attacks, he'd probably be introduced as a means to combat the Krogan forces on Palaven and if you actually met him in single player he'd be a boss battle.

Quarian Reaper Husk, complete with a couple of reaper combat drones under it's influence.

An unaltered Krogan reaper enemy (as in not a Brute which is mixed with a turian) Flamethrower units, their heads and upper body are splitting open as a result of reaper mutation. They'd act much like a geth pyromancer.

Drell Husk, [melee/shooter enemy, they arc pulse shots at the player with their curved armatures. Obviously you wouldn't want to get to close to them either. I didn't want to go too crazy with the drell, I think having them look sort of creepy but still attractive makes them more interesting.

The reaper altered hanar, I envision them as fast moving, gliding across the battlefield to slice and dice the player and squadmates as a form of attack. They would have relatively low life bars to compensate for their extreme speed and damage output. The ornamentation on top is a sort of religious symbol since I envisioned the reapers converting hanar through fanaticism centered around their worship of the enkindlers, much like the Hanar diplomat in the ME3 Kasumi mission.

A reaper Volus, since the idea of a menacing volus is kind of a joke I chose to make them suicide bombers who only have the option of detonating near the player as a form of attack. I also was ignorant of the fact that Volus explode outside their pressure suits so I got rid of the feet and gave them mech legs.

My version of a salarian husk, I heard there was one in one of the Mass Effect comics though I haven't gotten aroudn to reading them yet.

The Elcor Ambassador in ME3 talked about how they wage war with VI assisted cannons on their backs so my reaper elcor has the reapers sort of mocking them by turning them into actual living tanks, I imagine them as hanging far back and pummeling the player a lot like the ravager/marauder units but they would have way more health, maybe twice the life bar of a brute.

UPDATE: Reaper Pyjak, I envision the Pyjaks being put to use mainly as reaper spy/scouting units, they'd be deployed on planets like earth where you have a large number of civilians hiding underground or in the countryside. The Pyjak unit would signal back to ground forces upon finding survivors and if confronted directly it has a little laser gun in it's mouth to offer some resistance. They also like to pester Wrex in their free time.
