Open Call for Warframe Theme Ideas!

[(PSN)Jebussu]

personally, id like a warframe with the theme of a nuclear power plant with his abilities with properties being either amplified or completely revamped with one of his other abilities; providing more diversity, versatility, and most importantly: more fun. me and my friend's idea was that he would have 2 variants of 3 abilities and the last one being the ability that amplifies or revamps the other abilities. he also has his own "capacitor" (his own meter) where every cast of an ability builds the meter up by a percentage and when at 100%, can no longer cast abilities due to his energy spike, but has an ability that can only be casted with 100% charge while restoring energy. please let me know if i should post our notes or if me and my friend should change anything here, thanks so much. ps: this may seem like a gauss clone but just trust me when i say that my friend and i had this idea months before gauss got released, and please take that into consideration when given critique for our idea. we are happy to accomodate any suggestion, thanks again.

How about a warframe based on the holy light or heavenly body abilities such as the power to use the constellations as a power source and attack using the white light of retribution?

Let us hear your Warframe ideas, Tenno!

A Warframe that focuses on time manipulation, there's almost endless possibilities. Time travel, warp, chrono-stasis, and it's passive could be the quicker it's abilities are cast the longer they stay active for. Paradox could be it's name wether it's a boy or girl.

[ArtherDayne]

I know others have already suggested it but a Gravity themed frame would be cool.

[(XBOX)xVORSAx]

Ao kuang  the dragon king, Frame resembles a Divine yet humble dragonic humanoid, where's a kimono with a Chinese dragon print and the parts that are not covered show scales. By his side is is sword that should be a ability if made as one. One of his idle animations could show him manifesting a ethereal dragon that flys around him for a short while. Since his a dragon and all he'll need a floating walking animation, something like wisp's but not like how she goes practically horizontal to fly through the air, base colors could be the standard red and bronze used a lot for Chinese mythological character designs with a jade green accent and the 3rd color slot being a light blue/green mixture.

[(PSN)LickittySplitz]

A female serpent based frame would be cool. Not like Medusa, but more like a succubus. 

[GtRenovante]

Arachnia, the broodmother. Hides in the darkness far beyond the reach of light. When clueless people walk near her resting place, she strike them down faster than they could let out a scream. But she doesn't kill her prey. She keeps them alive for the upcoming feast for her......and her children...

A spider based warframe which captures enemies in coccons and interract with these coccons for various buffs and drops. Her passive is that she can walk up walls and stay on the side of the walls for indefinit duration rather than wall jump/latching kinda like how spiderman in spiderman games. She first ability is like inaros's 3, where she latch onto a prey and dragges it to her, upon reaching her, she spins them into coccons over a short duration, incapacitaing them. This can be use while she is on the side of a wall during which the coccon will be attached to the side the wall. Her second ability is she can target a coccon to extract health/energy/ammo from the coccon while dealing damage to the enemy trapped insided. Her thrid ability is shoot poison at her enemies, dealing heavy damage over time which bypass armor to the enemy hit. Her last ability is to target a coccon, laying eggs inside of the cocoon. Shortly after, the cocoon burst open, killing the enemy and hatching 10 little spiders which each have 10% of the cocconed enemy's health. They will attack and posion enemies, doing increasing damage based on her ability strength and the enemies level. The coccons can be attacked by the enemy to break it, releasing the enemy trapped inside. The health and armor of the coccon scales with her own health and armor.

[_Uco_]

I was thinking about a warframe that got a weapon integrated in it's left arm. Or more like the arm IS the weapon. It could do cool stuff like having differents weapon type in it, like if we go for melee type there could be:

-A shield for good protection, charge gameplay (maybe) and somme good CC.

-A long sword, for big swimgs and all the things that a long sword can do.

-A gun sword, less damage than the long sword but good for reach and mobility (kinda like the Sarpa)

 

It could swap between theses weapons to always fit in the situation. If we push the concept, the warframe could also change spells with each weapon, but I think it's too much work and would bring too much bugs.

It would be a corpus themed, like a test for the corpus to recreate the warframes (so this warframe wasn't here at the old war). It would have electricity or any other type of energy running around, like circuits and when the arm transform, some big waves of energy going through all the body, assembling in the arm. This could be a good oportunity to make a asymetric design.

Let us hear your Warframe ideas, Tenno!

First of all, my English is not good, please forgive me

I wanted a warframe that could use words to become power. The idea came from a conversation between me and a friend
On a defensive mission
Me: five minutes to dark on the plain,
Friend:... GO! GO! GO!
Then every 30 seconds a round ends the mission

Another conversation
Friend: tell you a story
I:?
Friend: think about it. Put the end of the toothpick between your toenails and kick it against the wall
Me: ohhhh my feet! That sounds so painful!

I think Warframe based on shields and magnetick dmg  he Will be so cool with support skills whats shields teamates and u 

He also have low hp but high shields in propotions 15%hp and 85% shield

Skill 1 lose 25%  of yours    shields and bost allies shields 

Skill 2 shots magnetic wave whats deals magnetic status to all enemies what it hits

Skill 3 i dont have idea

Skill 4  use powerfull magnetick wave across map and turn off gravity and gain ability to jump to enemies with melle atack until you have energy (it will drain much energy per sec)

Name : Avalon

 

 

    

[(XBOX)NightTheReaper1]

A paladin based warframe no name for it yet but.

abilities;

passive: high defense at the cost of energy.

ability 1: throws hammer of light to stun enemy or damage

ability 2: makes an aoe ring to buff defense other players and warframe 

ability 3:unknown

ability 4: summons exalted weapon [hammer and shield] and when blocking makes a bubble that buffs armor and somewhat of damage

[Salenstormwing]

A Kamaitachi "Sickle Weasel" Yokai concept: This warframe would be fast, be very hard to see as it moves (like the wind), and lashes out cutting blades that make up it's limbs. Movement would be like a spinning ice skater, dancing across the battlefield, lashing out with limbs, leaving bloodless wounds with sharp blades up close, or using almost invisible blades thrown among the wind it generates to scar its foe.

Its form flutters on the edge of your eye, and as your head turns, the wind whips across the field, and as you look, dozens of slashes have already etched themselves across the armor you wear, even though it might have been a trick of the eye. But a trick of the eye does not leave 2 inch deep scars across ferro-alloy plating. The wind swirls and then the blur is upon you, and just as quickly as it appeared, it vanishes. There is no pain, there is no feeling, there is nothing. Only the sound of the lifeless form of a Grineer commander collapsing among his troops leaves any trace of the Tenno's passing.

EDIT: For more info, check out the Folklore video on the Kamaitachi here.

[(PSN)Raijan_Etro]

Since we have Octavia, a singer frame, why don’t we have a dancing frame?   Would be super sick if it were a breakdancer.

 

[RevanGarcia]

A kubrow/wolf frame.

We already have Khora and Valkyr so why not.

[NorthFox]

Hi developers from DE.
The name of the warframe is Doppler. Its main feature is the ability to take on someone else's guise.
Abilities:
1) Jester balls - throws a bunch of ball balls at the enemies that bind the enemies and knock them to the ground.
2) Ethereal whip - a whip that allows the Doppler to quickly approach the wall, followed by running along it, or cling to the enemy, fly into it at high speed, and stun for a while. (Similar to a cat hook)
3) Colossus arm - Doppler is able to change his hand, to the giant’s hand, with which he can grab and throw enemies, or hit them with terrible force.
4) Change of appearance - Doppler steals the appearance of any enemy, and can move in it, without the ability to attack and detect itself. Upon completion of the ability / by pressing the button, the Doppler blows up a guise, inflicting huge damage to enemies in the radius of destruction.
Passive ability: Doppler has such a flexible body that it is able to move around 20% faster than other warframes.

[(PSN)Xanmeerr]

What about a 4legged warframe whos more animal then humanoid or atleast can transform into

[Wastedragon]

A warframe themed around coaction, compassion, and unity. One for all, all for one. Granting endurance of one to the whole squad and/or making mutiple enemies each suffer damage dealt to one of the.them.

[lmxsama]

I hope there can be a warframe on the theme of The Ancient Chinese Mythical Animals. Shanhaijing is a works of ancient China,so you can find a lot of inspiration here. For example, Lei is a special mythical animal, some people call it civet cat. Lei is a hermaphrodite animal. As a warframe, I think it should have a story about love.

Backstory:Among the scientists who entered the void was a couple. Orokin tries to transform her into a warframe ,but her will instinctively resists that, and eventually she and the virus are internecine. She was going to be dissected as a failure. Her husband stood in front of her. People attacked him. Because of the injury, the virus quickly invaded his body. Eventually, they become a new warframe. It is neither a man nor a woman.  It is both man and woman.

我希望能有一个关于中国古代神兽的战甲主题。《山海经》是一部中国古代著作，你可以从中得到许多灵感。举个例子，其中记录的一种与众不同的神兽，叫做类，有人也叫它灵猫。类是一种雌雄同体的神兽。如果以它为原型衍生出一个新的战甲，我想背后应该有一个关于爱的故事。

在进入虚空的科学家中，有一对是夫妻。奥罗金试图将她改造成warframe，但她的意志本能地抗拒这件事，最终她和病毒两败俱伤。人们准备将她作为失败品送去做解剖。她的丈夫挡在她身前。人们攻击他。因为受了伤，病毒迅速入侵了他的身体。最终，他们成为了一个新的warframe。这个新的战甲既不是男性也不是女性，既是男性也是女性。

[CrowSplat]

Teleportation. We have frames with a single teleport, so let's get a frame that takes it to another level.

Extreme mobility and a design that rewards active ability use to attack quickly from multiple angles. I would take it so far as to make bullet jumping turn into a sort of "blink" ability instead if the traditional jump.

[LYsaemo29]

engel:Rapahel

on Her back:white wing

his passive :she can fly without an arc wing when you do an arc wing mission

she is wearing white dress

 

[KamenRiderWaspinator]

Something with a thorns passive would be interesting. Or one that has no energy bar and uses it's health to use it's abilities instead. (Haven't played in a while so not sure if the last one is already done)

[Spartans]

Demonspartan warframe. Something that has to do with demons and/or spawning them. Furthermore he looks like a dead spartan soldier/king that got possed by a demon or something. Because spartans and demons are cool I want them in one design. 

[(PSN)RoseBunnySX]

they could make a warframe in that style "master tesonai and condroc" 
similar to khora

I don’t have the ability to create, but if anyone can use this idea, it would be very interesting to have a condroc as an ally.

[Sting-Wolf]

I think a warframe who can control the time will be awsome. a warframe who can use time like she want : go back in time, speed up time, stop time or more there are so much possibility with this concept. I think the time is a perfect theme for devlopping a warframe.

sry about orthography ^^"

[(XBOX)Stacywho]

 A warframe that becomes a giant. It stomps enemies into the ground with a wonderfrul slam. Large enough to punch the eidolons in a melee match. Able to grab dargyns out of the sky.  A whole new view to the Profit Taker. You would have to be careful how big you get in small hallways. The dangers of being tall are real. A true Iron Giant.
