"All frames will be Primed" Even Nidus ?

Well what I remember them saying is "All warframes after Vauban have a CHANCE of being primed" but I kind of doubt that's still true, Valkyr prime and all. <w< a primed Nidus wouldn't really make sense in my eyes, especially if he was a different frame before being infested.

Saryn was built with Infestation-based technology.

She got Primed.

Keep in mind, Nidus will be new to us as players, but that doesn't mean the design is new in the game universe.  Tenno are constantly rediscovering old Orokin designs and attempting to reverse-engineer them, with limited success.  There's a definite possibility that regular Nidus is a knockoff of what was originally an Orokin design that modern Tenno can't quite reproduce until we start finding blueprints for it in Void Relics.

Yes, they'll find a way to make it happen prime simply means original so perhaps they could make it the first infested iteration of the frame or maby the frame could be a cleaner version of the frame before it got overrun with all the infestation from when the orokin still thought they could weaponize the technocyte.

Don't forget, Warframes are made with infested flesh, so Nidus being primed isn't out of the question.

Not only that, but they specifically had an ("the best") infestation biologist working on the warframes, likely leading to the creation of a weaponized infestation warframe.

Valkyr isn't corpus made, OF COURSE she'd have a prime, I seriously cannot believe the ignorance of some people who argue on lore :(

Also, all frames are based on infestation. Nidus will just be a frame based on how the infestation evolved ones it was beyond containment and released into the system. Maybe he evolved with the infestation to it's current state and the prime will resemble an earlier stage in the evolution.

Why wouldn't he. All Warframes are heavily hinted to be made of infested flesh. They all got primed.  Ancients can be corrupted, so it's not like Orokin Technology and the Infetastation aren't compatible.

Where did you get the idea he couldn't be primed?

fixed, although as far as warframe goes it might as well since that's typically exactly what primes are, just the original orokin design for them.

it is merely the coincidence that they are the orokin originals, but what really defines a prime is its' construction, technically speaking, the moon base and the void towers are primes as well

Thats half true. In accordance to lore, all prime weapons are made using orokin technology. They're also the “first” weapon design of the tenno weapon. (e.g. braton p was design first then braton was reverse engineered by the corpus)

WHAT IS A PRIME?

A Prime Warframe, weapon, Sentinel or accessory represents technology as it was during the height of the Orokin Era. A Prime Warframe will often have additional Polarity Slots compared to the non-Prime version, and Prime weapons will boast superior performance or other advantages against their counterparts. Due to its rarity, Prime technology is coveted throughout the Solar System.

I just want Hydroid Prime and Limbo Prime. Golden Tentacles and Fashion Frame Prime

In the reveal video, he takes off his hat pulls out a piece of paper. Then he unfolds it and it says Loser. He then banish it and then tips his hat. Says M'lotus and banishes himself and he fades away.

He's not out yet, but I would guess he is not infested, and he doesn't have a "before infested" form. He's built for the purpose of controlling or at least using the infestation as a weapon. Since infestation was already a thing when orokins began to build prime frames, it's not a surprise they come up with the idea of a warframe using infestation power.

Do you think nidus prime would be a hybrid of a infested and orokin look or will there be a nidus before he was infested ?

Honestly, at this point, it'd make sense for them to just take the Prime variant for Nidus, if there is ever one, and just strap "Mutalist" on the beginning of it as a word replacer, but basically means the same thing :P
