Kohmiter

An mix of the rotation/centrifuge rail from a Kohm and motor from a Miter, attached on top of a long stick with a big knob at the end for good measure. Between the Kohm rotation rail, a free floating cutter disk, like the ones that Grineer Scrappers use, spins(by the mighty powers of electromagnets).

Named after Kohm and Miter...Yes very unimaginative name. but a fitting name. 

Animation : Pole-arm 

The size and proportions are drawn upon Sydon so the hitboxe should be similar. Has an alternative fire where the cutter disk between the rails is launched like a catapult or a slingshot by swinging the weapon real hard. Kind of like how hammer throws are done. Disk throw is on a cool down/costs energy. Otherwise, if that mechanic is kinda flimsy, its still usable as a melee only weapon. 

Notes: Tried to make it as visually fitting with the current Grineer aesthetics as possible. So its not anything mindblowing or too outlandish. Originally contemplated a Jat Kittag. but on your FISTS. but instead decided to have Ripkas on a STICK. And the result was a giant Grineer pizza cutter. that you can throw. Not the whole thing though, like the Javlok. Just the cutter disk. Because that is nice and cheap.

...thats about it

Edit: Oh look. Someone DID make a Jat Kittag on FISTS. Lucky I didnt go with the idea. Good to see I wasnt the only person thinking that putting rockets on your fists is an awesome idea.

I'm really digging this idea!

[DigitalCrest]

One question: since the grip needs to use an existing one, and no new melee weapons are accepted, how is it with hybrid weapons? Technically they just use existing grips, but they could have overlapping stances (like mios which was part whip part blade, and needed it's own stance)?

[RIPjetHeros]

For hybrid weapons you might be able to follow the route of the dark split sword, where it can have either type of stance equipped.

hello im maffebas and i cant draw and my english is not that great. tho i have a (what i think) a  pretty good idea.

it uses the  Silva & Aegis animations.

my melee weapon is from tenno origin and it is made for dangerous survival situations. it has 2 blades to block attacks, and a knive to attack.

it is my first weapon but i think it is a really good idea

Brief Description: The Nin-(something)'s handles conceal extending blades which provide longer reach and are designed to glide through flesh.

(back to warframe for references....) youd recognie it as that orange lightning diamond......yeah one of those also... i should mention a grip thats pre-existing... with the way ive descriped the blocking stance theres a dual grip look to my idea.....probably to look like the kronen.... pivoting grip or arm rest holder...and 2 hand grips...unless you can put into the game the image of a tenno with its arm straight down holding a sheild to block with...so maybe kronen hand grips and.or boltace hand grips...or maybe you can say the things sentient in origin ( though i do NOT want to be seen and look at myself wielding another bone weapon with the wars grips...(broken war included or no, that thing would need to probably look entirely like its made out of bones.... and i just say NO... just no... maybe a sentient spin off but i dont want my perfect little idea to get made and it looks like crap.....thatd be a bad introduction to a successful weapon id say)

[_Mr.Robot]

Primed Impaler – the type of Spear the community wanted (not a primary)

Faction: Orokin (Prime)
Baroo will sell a relic or release it with the next prime warframe 

Holster & attack style: same as Kesheg 
Throw and pick it up instantly with middle mouse button.
Slash base Dmg
Crit Chance: 15%
Crit Multiplier: 2.0x
Attack Speed: 1.10
Give it enough range and a fast flight speed like arrows.
crit chance also affects the spear throw and hitting an enemy with a spear throw adds to the combo multiplier (this way the spearthrow still can be viable in end game)

When the gauntlet pulls it back it has a particle animation that will let it appear in your warframes hand and disapper from
where it was by fading out fast in a particle animation -> this way we dont need to worry about objects or walls.
choose color & style as you feel like but keep a similar shape (the sides of the head & the peak  are sharp) 

p.s i made it with paint so dont laugh.

my plan for the serpentine is to have it as a double function weapon that would have as its default dual scythes that individually proc heat and toxin and when combined (probably through an alternative to a charge attack) it could switch do a dual sided scythe that would use radiation damage (the elemental mixture between heat and toxin). in the dual sided form it would do more damage per hit but would have a lower attack speed. also the weapon will belong to the grineer/tenno faction.

Just a suggestion but since its a split sword what if the blades folded down when it becomes a polearm?

[NeoSmile]

my weapon:

 

Name:           Mutare
Faction:        Infested
Type:            Gun-Blade
Description:  This gun has been completely taken over by infestation,
                     with this you are capable of slashing enemies with its bones as well as shooting poisonous darts, poisoning the target for extended time 

 

(ps i am not a great artist)
(ps i made this picture with paint)
(ps i took my inspiration from weapons like Scoliac, Mutalist-cernos, lesion and even the snipetron)

[Akavakaku]

Faction: Infestation

Grip: Rapier (e.g. Destreza)

Formed from the still-living venomous stylet of an infested organism, this highly refined weapon releases its unique venom along the entire length of the blade. Deals mostly Toxic damage. 

[(PSN)KILLERmack10]

 

Addition to the special ability keeping it with the defence aspect. killing enemys will fill the weapons power charge attack each kill making the ability stronger more kills you get before using the charge attack the stronger it is, working like equinox maim.  the power is a 360 degree blast that nocks down all enemies in a 10 meter range.

yess infested !

[(XBOX)OniiChansGun]

these weapons are called the artors and belong to the corpus faction. they have a high at base parry chance, lower base damage but higher finisher damage. on finisher, a charge is stored, but on the next finisher whilst chanelling the charge is released as an aoe stun *electric", opening surrounding other enemies to finishers. they also have a higher block percentage.

these are two hexagonal shields that are worn on the hands like golves and draw insperation form the buckler shields. when  blocking however they converge into one larger shield aswell as having the hexago pattern opening when channeling to show that you are releasing the charge. to follow with the design, when channeling a hexagon would show around the player to show the aoe range. i would have had an image as one WAS drawn but the image wasnt allowed to be inserted. this was created by me and a friend hearteater69

needed for image insertion

[SkylineXful]

Name: Iron Crescent (?) not good at naming stuff

Fraction: Corpus for its mechanical look.

Type: Scythe

Description: a new deadly corpus weapon made to bring chaos and destruction to its enemy from afar with great area of damage

 

this is the idea of my drawing and here is a somewhat painted one (not good at painting)

 

 

PS: weapon has to be bigger than normal scythe in-games, around warframe size (use tenno to scale), i want a big scythe >:3 to bring Tenno peace to the system (double the size of normal scythe in game i would suggest)

 

thanks! Keep the amazing work!

(First off, I apologize I'm not the best artist.)

Faction: Tenno

Description: The Arachno is the first 8 edged glaive, which only adds to it's elegance. It has good impact and an elemental of toxin. Throwing it you have the option to make it stick in one spot similar to the Zenistar, spewing out toxin.

Edited March 4, 2017 by (XB1)Skeledone
Didn't relize we were allowed to have Tenno as our listed faction until readin other submissions. :)

[A-M-Z]

Did someone said, The Best Defense?

---

Name: Barreus

Faction: Tenno

Brief Description: A Staff with a special ability, one that creates a barrier, surrounding its user. Channeling feather-like devices from its compartment with stored energy, thus allowing it to create a barrier as it reaches their designated points,  without having to jeopardize the staff being a stale object. Though the durability of the barrier is temporary, it is still able to regenerate itself with energy, transferred by the user or either the staff. To conclude, the feather-like devices will teleport back into the weapon at a command.   

Grip-type: Clashing Forest
