Soul Prison Drones...Here's how I probably would make them like:

Well, since the soldiers are made of the parts from other species, there has to be some way the Harvesters have become the intelligent beings they are. Just organic parts alone will simply make a creature with animal instinct. Some sort of mechanism is needed is cybernetic parts aren't the answer.

And that mechanism: souls. When a victim is sacrificed to create drones, their souls are kept inside the Soul Prison Drones until they are ready to be processed and placed inside their warriors. That would make the Harvesters just as terrifying in death as it is in life.
