The Cyborg Reaper is a special cyborg created by Nod by the time of the Firestorm Crisis.

The Cyborg Reaper's existence was considered merely a rumour by the time of the Second Tiberium War. Nod secretly designed the Reapers, with very few people aware of the project. When CABAL started a rebellion against Nod and GDI during the Firestorm Crisis, all cyborgs, including the never before used Reapers, pledged their allegiance to CABAL, ignoring Nod authority completely.

CABAL used reapers to abduct humans, so that they could be turned into more cyborgs to fuel its war machine. Reapers were ideally suited to the task as they possessed web launchers ideal for capturing humans, while also possessing rocket launchers that allowed then to defend themselves against any type of threat, land or air.
