Maybe, maybe not. As far as I know we don't know much about their armor except it's of the same material as the insanely tough relays, which makes me highly doubt that it's on the same level as the Covenant's armor.
Not really into Stargate.
Btw, Haestrom's sun was being manipulated by an external power, which most likely wasn't Geth. It could be something else, but the Reapers are for the moment the most suspectible. And if they can screw with stars like that, then they can be considered toe to toe with the Forerunners in that matter. Not sure if this star manipulation is linked with shielding or weapon technology, or something else.
I don't know why you think the reapers can fight the Forerunners.Their shields can't even stop energy weapons,this puts them at a high disadvantage.
Then the Forerunner tech is also better then the Reapers:
-Massive Industrial capacity
-Low end starship weapons are in teraton(their weapons did better then the POA's reactor detonation)
-Ground forces can sweep continents
-They have explored other realities
-They can build stars and planets
...

When was a Reaper destroyed by an energy weapon that passed through its shields?
What do we know about the Reapers' industrial capabilities except for how they are able to construct gigantic space stations that defy the gravitational forces of a black hole, and like the Forerunners, build enormous artificial worlds with fictional gravity and friendly atmospheres? I'm not even gonna mention the Mass Relays.
Physics isn't my field, but standard Reaper weaponry are guns that beam streams of molten metal at like 1/5 lightspeed. The Collectors, which can be described as the "low end" of the Reapers, use some sort of energy beam that cuts clean through every ship in the ME universe.
I'm not trying to turn this into a Halo vs. Mass Effect thread, but the Reapers could basically just indoctrinate the Forerunners and turn them into their own ground forces. In addition to that they have tons of agents and minions, like corrupt Turians, Geth, Collectors etc.
I haven't read Cryptum, so that "reality" stuff sounds a little too Harry Potter for me right now. What use would that be in an open war anyway? Also, the Reapers' indoctrination skills is most likely the answer to this alternate universe-stuff, seeing how it affects sub-consciousness.
The Collector Base is the closest thing to a planet they have, and it defies gravity, but I don't see why that is relevant anyway. Why would the Reapers need planets? Stars? They can pre-maturely destroy stars, that's for sure, but build? For what use?

Their shields can only defend themselfs against kinetic attacks(correct me if i'm wrong)
If it's true then Forerunners energy weapons will cut through hordes of Reapers with ease.
Which artificial worlds?Exemples?
Forerunners can built a single Halo ring in a few months,a ring has a diameter of 30000 km.That already proves how quickly they can construct something massive like that.With this massive industrial capacity,they can quickly built entire fleets and literally drown the reapers with sheer numbers alone.Not even counting that a single Forerunners ship would beat a Reaper.
More exemples:
-They can provide energy for artificial starts for +100000 years
-Massive Micro dyson sphere with the size of 2AU or 300million km
-Artifical planets like Onyx,they can fuse an asteroid field into a single protoplanet
.....
Because this beam is effective against ME fforces doesn't means it's effective against Forerunners.How powerful are those beams?Megatons?If so then Forerunners shields can easily survive through that.
How will they indoctrinate Forerunners if reapers will be destroyed the moment they appear within the ship Captains view.
Harry Potter like?Forerunner is more like similar to Culture tech.
Planets are needed for resources,accommodating your population,...Building planets proves how technically advanced the Forerunners are and shows how big their industrial capcity is,this gives them automatically the advantage of lots of resources,which are needed for you army and Navy.
BTW Forerunners can shuffle their planets around to protect them,their planets also have planetary shields which i doubt the Reapers will be able to penetrate.
I have a questiondo Reapers have worlds are they just like nomads slaughtering species and sleeping in outer space?
this was exactly my point
