Why Inaros should NOT get primed + theory abour Inaros

[Sarge_Tarmus]

Before starting any sh*tstorms, I would like to say, that Inaros is my second favorite frame, after Excalibur. But I think, he should not get primed, because this could collide with lore. As we know, Inaros saved some children kidnapped by Orokin. Then he stayed with former Mars civilains and tried to protect them from infestation. Because he left his masters, he could be considered as some sort of heretic, that should not get primed. From the other side, the one, who saved the Mars children, could be Inaros PRime already, but after being destroyed during fighting the infested, his praisers could make a blueprints for the less advanced version of this frame. Also, Inaros could be someone like Orokin outcast, or something. I mean, after his "betrayal" to skymen, the Orokin would be pissed and kill his operator easily. But they did not. Could Orokin be splitted to more factions, or subfactions? Or is Inaros someone like Stalker?

what i think is that in the quests whenever a frame is mentioned it means a prime version, what we found however during our quests is a non completele blueprint so we just modify it bit to be what we know a "vanilla" frame.

by this mindset any frame, quest or not can be primed and it was enstablished with nova prime that all frames will eventually have a prime variant

[Brachion]

The Inaros who did all that WAS an Inaros, not the only one, and was presumably a "Prime" like all other Warframes at the time. Remember, story-wise, Primes always come first, with "normal" Frames being modern replicas.

Much like the latter part you said, I'm sure DE can just twist the story to justify a prime version, so the money from prime access will continue to flow.

[(XBOX)ItsMast3rking]

wait...i dont really get a reason as to why he shouldnt get primed....you said it yourself that he's/was with the orokins, and as we know all frames at that time were prime..so again, why shouldnt he be primed?

[SneakyBeakyIvarr]

The non-prime version of Inaros we see is very likely the "mass produced" version of the frame. The reason why they were mass produced was likely because the Orokin needed numbers + the War was taking a toll on their resources so they sought out cheaper alternatives, thus giving weaker, but "good enough", versions. Inaros prime wouldn't counter the lore at all (Given what we know).

As for the Orokin not killing the operator: they would have very likely betrayed the Orokin at the same time as the other Tenno. Thus all the Orokin with access to the operators were likely already killed. That + the fact the operators probably had protection from the Lotus and other Tenno meant that the operators were safe in their fully immersive VR experience.

I dunno if you get that the Inaros in the legend was only one of countless Inaros piloted by different Operators. Warframes were mass-produced machines and that was one of many, and its actions were that of its Operator's. 

That wouldn't keep it from being Primed, since Primes are the original versions of frames, whereas our current frames are the flawed, 'made in china' copies. 

[Midrib]

All we know is that warframes were created by the orokin, thus all Warframes are eligible to be primed.

and from what's been hinted at, Primes are the original warframes, so timeline wise, Inaros has been primed a long time before it rebelled.

[StinkyPygmy]

Primes are generally considered to be the originals or prototypes. Inaros prime doesn't conflict with his lore what so ever.

as the DE Rebbecca said, every frame valid to be primed, and for prime frames, i really dont care about lore, and we already have nova prime and valkry prime which kinda confirms that DE doesnt care about lore that much while they are making a primed version of a frame

[Xerenova]

Inaros and Inaros Prime are 2 different entities. They probably have different lore stuck to them.

I thought they retconed the whole "primes were original warframes" thing

So far I know primes are the original.

But what if the storys is about the original?

[Riesen]

I'm more interested in seeing how DE will go about Nidus prime.

Nope, they never did.

It IS about the, or rather an original. Primes weren't unique; there were multiple Inaroses back then.

Prime just means "make some 💵" has nothing to do with lore . Did you see how they handled valkyr
