Does Central Officer Bradford Still Rescue the Commander?
One of the trailers for War of the Chosen made it look like one of the Reapers stole Bradford's Commander Rescuing Thunder, which I didn't like to be honest... :(

Well war of the chosen does change the whole tutorial mission to where Reapers find and save you with intel from the Skirmishers. It looks like Outrider (Reaper) forces a scientist in an Advent building/lab to either open your pod? Or somthing along those lines. I guess Bradford does loose his thunder, but hay he still has a whole lotta thunder in the Alien Hunter Mission.

Well actually in one of the new early cutscenes they released (Can't remember) Bradford said they owed the leader of the Reapers and that they helped rescue you.

My guess is, they sneaked into the location, found you, and told Bradford and then he strikes.

It is just a new intro cinematic that shows how the reapers find the Commander. Afterwards Bradford uses this info to launch the raid to free him. The tutorial stays the same.

I just watched an early let's player, found here:

Fact is, while the let's play is playing on Legend and without the tutorial, it shows a new cutscene of the Reaper entering the building and finding the commander, and then she contacts Bradford, and then the game goes into the original opening cutscene, as in the one leading into the tutorial.

So yes, looks like Bradford still saves him, the Reapers were just the ones who found him.
