Dairaion Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 So the grineer were at one point genetically stable, then a short time after the fall the queens appeared. Then the queens began cloning themselves as well. Why didn’t the grineer attempt normal human reproduction 1000 years ago when this was all happening.

TARINunit9 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 That assumes that they can. We have no idea what body parts the Orokin allowed them to keep, or what body parts they still have now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagPrime Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Even if they lack the genitals, they could still manually mix genetics instead of cloning. Lame answer; conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lame answer; conditioning. Exactly, why wouldn’t they attempt to fix their genes little by little until they reached a functioning state. Why wouldn’t they attempt to improve themselves with Dax genes or why didn’t they pluck some hair from the 26 million registered Tenno she tried to body snatch and make void grineer?

Because they don't see them as "workforce". They see them as "biological machines". Remember that Orokin read the phrase "armed Grineer" in the same way we read the phrase "armed roombas" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could they attempt normal human reproduction if they aren't even human to begin with? They are bioengineered workers, mass produced every day.

I feel like you didn’t read previous posts… or play the game really, even a couple grineer talk about reproduction, I think Vor talks about it explicitly being his goal.

TheArmchairThinker Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 When they were made totally dumb and any grineer showing a shred of intelligence was sent to shredder? They would never think about anything other than doing their work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(XBOX)GearsMatrix301 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 You ever play the game Destroy All Humans? I like to think that the reason the Grineer don’t reproduce is the same reason the Furons didn’t reproduce. Because they basically couldn’t.

Hayrack Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 "Each one is genetically defective to some degree, their genome both originally stunted by their creators, and further damaged by the invasive cloning procedures they themselves have been using to birth each generation in the centuries after the fall of the Orokin. As a result, they have a life cycle that is limited to only a fraction of a normal human lifespan and are prone to a host of degenerative disorders such as decaying limbs and skin or reduced intelligence. They compensate for this by the widespread use of crude cybernetic prosthetics and robust augmentations." https://warframe.fandom.com/wiki/Grineer What kind of reproductive abilities do you imagine, if their limbs start rotting off before their "fraction of a normal human lifespan" expires?

(XBOX)CaligulaTwily Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Even if they had the bits, the Grineer are already so degenerated, any offspring would have the degeneration defects like, doubled. Orokin coulda engineered the Grineer in suchaway that classic reproduction would be impossible, bit like mules being unable to reproduce. Or just genetic engineered the bits away.

Europe had a cool 2 millennia of slavery outside of Britain and their slaves reproduced, it’s how they fielded a majority of their army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
