How Tall Are The Warframes? And Just How Big Is A Tenno?

[arch111]

This is half serious and half crazy, but the way I see it we have two options.

1) Tenno are placed into a sort of void-space inside the suits so anyone can fit inside, nomatter how big or small the Tenno is.

2) The Tenno themselves must be able to fit inside and that leads us back to the Zariman children.

A child can fit into all warframes IF the suits are built around them like a warhammer powersuit.

I illustrated this the only way I can, the biggest and smallest one and the cause of the most arguments when swapping warframes.

Thoughts?

[EmptyDevil]

Some of the Warframes probably are bigger than the Tenno piloting it. Some Spartans in Halo are bigger and heavier when inside the suit iirc.

[Alan]

Now that you mention that a child could fit into all warframes...

 

[MihawkDulacr1]

Its an interesting topic and probably depends also on what we actually are. I like to think that its like the ironman suit and it builds perfectly around the tenno.

[Acidulant]

Maybe the Tenno inside is in twisted shape to match their warframe suit, since there's a codex entrt saying they built the warframe around the tenno. Nobody said tennos are in normal human shape.

And being able to change warframe, well that's just acceptance in broken logic cuz game.

[arch111]

It used to be game mechanics. Then Steve said 1 Tenno somehow switch suits, and maby akin to brain in a jar type deal.

There is the "We are Energy" theory of course, but a host is needed either way.

The Void-space theory involves the pilot being absorbed into it, but Vor told us before they rip the bodies out of the warframes.

twisted the body to fit into warframe...?

 

some scary thing so i put it in spoil

That really solves most problems, maybe we look like this:

 

 

Edit: Also their is the posibility, that we are just able to change our appearing, like alex mercer, as tenno are somehow related to the technocyte virus (at least hayden was)

Because two reasons.

1) The argument that a Tenno can not wear both the Rhino and the Nova.

2) Nova has the proportions and siluette closest to a child.

[Trylobyte]

Tenno are actually two-inch-tall micro-pixie people that live in the Warframe's head.  The only people who know this are Lotus, Simaris, and Alad V.

[arch111]

Let me clarify something.

I think that the survivors on the Zariman may have been engineered to be the size of a small child, as Grineer abd Lorists were engineered.

In other words the Tenno may look like small adults, with some inhuman traits.

Sorry.  Gary Coleman is not piloting my Chroma.

 

Edit:  Just realized he died in 2010.  I totally forgot ;-;  RIP

No, I don't believe children are inside. For me, the idea that the Tenno are basically liquid metal that can change shape to an extent makes the most sense.

[pauli133]

If Tenno aren't able to fill out the suit, then the Zanuka Project kinda loses its punch.

 

I still vote for genetically engineered, infested, void-modified squiggly people. Warframes exist to enforce human shape.

[CrazyCatLad]

Average sized people (human bodies) who have been accepted into the Warframe via corruption through the void.

 

 

I think devs said Tenno can switch warframes like you switch clothes, gender depending, but I prefer to think of a Tenno as permanently connected to 1 specific Warframe.

 

 

The lore I prefer: Bob Smith went into the void and came out as Loki - forever. The Warframe is his body now.

 

 

(For game purposes we can switch warframes)

Actually, the average warframe sports the height of Peter Dinklage. Except Rhino, who is their king and is nearly as tall as Tom Cruise.

It has already been confirmed you are only one Tenno switching warframes.

[CrazyCatLad]

Yes I know.

 

 

From a lore point of view, my preference would be: There is only 1 Mirage, 1 Loki, 1 Rhino etc.  That's not DE's lore but it is the lore I would prefer - but I don't spread it as canon.

[Armorchin]

uh i going to assuming that the suit is the same as a dark sectors game, Warframe is an infested armor that warp around user so it won't make much difference on the height. Like for a child in that ember lore, it will change depending on user. 

[arch111]

This is allso a possibility.

The Tenno is spidy and the warframe is venom.

... or the other way around.

I kind of embrace both, there was just one Loki etc, the original, but copies were made later.

I think the warframes have an organic component at its core but I think it's just a vessel within a vessel, a blank clone of the original, that a Tenno "soul" (for want of a better word) can inhabit, giving it the ability to manipulate the void energy in the same way the original could. These are "bodies" Vor removes and that Alad experiments on.

[vaugahn]

The illustration in the OP runs into the same problem Warhammer powered armor (and IRL powered armor) faces, in that the limbs of the person inside would get crushed by the suit. The Nova in the OP wouldn't be able to move her arms or legs, and even if the suit somehow didn't pinch when it moved she still wouldn't be able to get a full range of motion out of it. 

 

I think that the tenno are the exact same size as the suits, and the suits are made out of flesh fused with their bodies that forms an armored second skin.

Daniel is a awesome character lol, agreed.

 

 

Also asker I would imagine just a little bit smaller then the warframes themselves since they are supposed to fit over us like a second skin or a suit of armor.

I would say that the Tenno can be any height, the void does scary things. It scars you, changes you.
