What are some warframes that definitely won't go prime?

[egg]

I'm sure revenant won't because Revenant prime would be dumb considering it's an eidolon warframe.

[Watermelons]

They are Primed in a rough order of their chronological release date. That's all, the general idea is that all Warframes will have Primes eventually.

As dumb as it sounds at first, the idea of a "prime sentient/eidolon Warframe", you should remember that the Sentient are Orokin constructs. Warframes and the Sentient all come from the Orokin, so I mean, I'm sure DE can find a way to make it kinda make sense.

Wasn't Valkyr the production of Corpus engineer? by gathering bodyparts from different frames to make her? She still got a prime.

So any warframe is up for a prime really.

No, Alad captured her and experimented on her, producing normal Valkyr by... literally stripping bits off of either Prime, or original Valkyr. Corpus cannot make any warframes, they don't understand how they work or even what they are.

You're thinking of Zanuka, not Valkyr.

Also, I'm sure even Nidus will get a prime version, since even the Infestation was originally an Orokin creation. (The Orokin were really good at bad ideas)

Everything pretty much link to the orokin, so I guess it makes sense.

"Alrighty guys, let's make some self replicating, intelligent constructs to destroy/terraform worlds to our bidding. Oh nevermind, they realized they hate us and are waging war with us now.

Okay, okay, I got it. Let's make a bio-weapon that can seek out and absorb any tissue, living or mechanical. Oh ♥♥♥♥, they're running wild and absorbing all life it possibly can? Whoops.

Okay, for real, I've got it this time. We take that bioweapon, touch it up a bit, and play doctor on some of our finest warriors and see how it affects them. Oh sweet they have amazing powers now. Oh no, they've gone mad with the pain that is their existence and they don't want to listen to us?
Oh look at these kids afflicted with the unknown of the Void. Let's take that woman's astral projection technology and put these kids inside the minds of these Warframes. NICE it worked. Alright time to celebrate! Oh damn nevermind, they've turned on us too. Now wha-"

That's because Orokin forgot to charge their geo-crystals.

Ermmm the sentients were literally created by the Orokin as slave labour... where do you think the name "Sentient" came from?

And so why would a sentient inspired frame NOT come from the people who made the sentients to begin with?

Next to that, not all Primes are from the old age, there are new things being primified such as the Seer pistol in an attempt and Gram.

How much clear did the quest stated that Revenant was a normal Warframe and that he got corrupted by the Eidolon's power? He wasn't "born" like that.

Then a Revenant Prime would likely go the same way as Valkyr Prime's design. Aesthetically, it'll make some sense, but the powers will be the same, so it won't make sense.

Valkyr Prime/Gemini is the Valkyr warframe untouched by any Corpus torture or experimentation, so you'd think her abilities would be a bit different. Less scream-y.

Do we seriously expect that there's a single Warframe in this game that WON'T get an exclusive expensive upgraded edition?

That's already happened, it's called Excalibur Prime. That's the ONLY "exclusive expensive upgraded edition" there'll ever be, part of the old Founders program. And it's long, long gone.

I was being facetious. My point was more that I expect all of the Warframes - new and old - to get an upgraded eidition for people to quest or grind for. I don't know how long that's going to take, but I expect some upgraded version of every frame to turn up, whether it be Prime, Umbra, Vandal/Wraith, Prisma or what have you.

Ah. Well I honestly didn't know if you knew about it, no offense there.

I'm hoping Umbra only gets applied to the starter Warframes and nothing more. Maybe Nyx because her design is female Excalibur. Umbra Mag, Volt, possibly Loki/Nyx is all I want to see. It'd be too much to get more than that.

Making Revenant prime isn't hard, making his kit considering it was different before he fused with eidolong spirit is actually the main problem.
