       As time goes on an interesting pattern has emerged amongst the release of Prime Warframes. Each new Prime of course is fancier in terms of building upon the original Warframe, and of course that is expected. As an artist makes more artwork, they get better with practice.

       But then the older designs begin to look lackluster in comparison, which is also expected, but nothing to be sullen about.

The first two Prime Warframes, Excalibur Prime and Frost Prime, have no visual body differences from their original Warframe counterpart. Helmet designs do not count as those are always a given, but I mean in terms of their armor.

      Below is my suggestion for perhaps an upgrade to Frost Prime's design, Frost Prime is chosen as our favorite Warframe. We do not plan on including Excalibur Prime, or others, into this thread.

      Consider a compromise that such an armor upgrade could be optional for Frost Prime users, to be taken on and off like armor attachments.

 

 

Version 2.0

 

With so much discussion over this topic, we were inspired to create a better version of our original idea. Please note that the custom parts were painted over screenshots, and mirrored parts are implied. The back coats, and arm exhausts, are supposed to be mirrored. Thank you to everyone who has taken interest in our concepts.

The Redesign envisions a spot for a 4th color tint on Frost Prime, AND a Metal Tint slot. We wish for this arrangement on all Primes, to expand on customization. Not removing existing patterns and designs to replace them with another colored material.

Discussion Topic

 

We would like to take this opportunity in this thread to invite fellow Frost-enthusiasts to talk about Frost's overall ability rework fairly recently, in comparison to both Excalibur's and Saryn's reworks. We feel that Frost's rework was the beginning of a good idea, but it also felt like it was not enough. In comparison to the great success of Excalibur's rework, and we must admit Saryn also now feels a lot more fun and powerful, Frost seems like so far he could have been offered more in his abilities.

 

For example we still feel that Freeze and Ice Wave are redundant, perhaps combine the two, have Ice Wave leave behind a trail of cold and be able to freeze enemies, remove Freeze and create a new ability altogether? Frost also has a much higher than average armor rating, he looks like he would be more sturdy and immovable like a glacier. However he has no way to benefit from his own abilities besides hiding inside Snow Globe.

 

What are your thoughts and ideas for perhaps elevating Frost into a true heavy duty battle mage, above his usual role as "Globe bot?"

Yep. This looks good. But Frost Prime still needs more of a pattern on his torso, and Excal Prime and Mag Prime really need their patterns changed, because right now they aren't like the other prime warframes' patterns. Excal Prime just needs to borrow some parts from Nyx Prime and Loki Prime (the thigh/hip attachments from Nyx and the shoulderblade gold from Loki Prime). He could also use some bigger spikes on his back (just made longer, really). That said, I like this Frost Prime revision. Honestly, imo, Loki Prime is the best looking Prime, and if every Prime could be brought in line with him, that'd be cool.

I must agree as of right now, Loki Prime is by far the most beautiful Prime Warframe. He has many additions to his body in comparison to the original. I believe it would be only fair to have every Prime Warframe have the same number of additions.
