I think the next warframe prime will be Chroma, what do you guys think?

Pretty sure chroma is next on the docket.

Doesn't matter what we think. We know it's Chroma

I also heard Gram prime is one of the next prime weapons and was mentioned at tennocon. Seems to me that would be a perfect fit for chroma to have a giant sword to go with a dragon.

Nice, so, any new builds for him, are you guys excited?

It was a dumb question.

To be fair, we don't know it's Chroma until DE says that officially. 

It will most likely be Chroma, but it's not certain yet. Not to us, anyways. Because DE can do anything they want. If they wanna do another frame first, they absolutely could. Like they did with Nova taking Banshee's place, and pushing her quite far back in the list.

Only question is what Chroma's other weapon is going to be. Only weapon that seems thematic is Corinth Prime, but thats way too new to be the next Prime weapon.

It seems to be Gram P and Akjagara P. Although the art of the Akjagara P at the Con was a pretty early concept, and a dual pistol melee would make more sense with Mesa P.

Thought: What if Akjagara P gets a alternate fire for a melee range swipe.

Gara and Corinth please (I know its not happenin, but still).

I want to say Nidus, but I don't think Nidus should get a Prime.  Should just get Umbra.

Well actually, given the lore dropped in the sacrifice, a Nidus prime still makes absolute sense.

Nidus is completely organic though, adding Orokin technology to it would make it not Nidus imo.  Taking the only organic only Frame, and removing that aspect.

Frames are completely organic, thats what I'm saying. Their metal parts aren't actual metal it turns out.

I hope it isn't akjagara prime, but for reading Sean Bigham's posts on the weapon, the zbrush model is already in a blockout state. I'd love Attica Prime with Chroma prime but looks like it will be akjagara prime.

Is there some lore bit about that?  Cause that seems silly.

[SmokinDice]

Its quoted by ballas in the Vitruvian: "Their skin blossomed into sword steel" In addition there is some line about how the Skiajati is actually made from umbra's infected strain, i'll have to get back with exact words

Umbra is infected though, so he is in fact Organic.  Although I don't think his suit is.

"Their skin blossomed into sword steel" sounds more like symbolism than literal.

All Warframes are infected. That was also stated in the vitruvian.

also Quote from Skiajati Description: "Forged of steel grafted from umbra's flesh,..."

Its literal not symbolism.

also everything orokin is made out of some kind of flesh right? if you look at cetus the cut the orokin things and it looks like flesh

Oh yeah, forgot that part, that stuff still gives me the creeps though.

Sacrifice spoilers

Spoiler

Yes, I agree that Umbra is indeed infested, hence his weapon can be organic.  And no, not all Warframes are infested as far as I'm aware, where did you get that?  The whole ordeal with Umbra is that he is part infested, wouldn't be such a big deal if all Warframes were.

Sorry, while editing (Way too tired to be posting) it for some reason created a second post.  Tried to clean it up as best as I could.

all warframes are infected dead bodies inside, the difference from the umbra ones is that they were not dead. As ballas says that they "could not control them, nor via torture nor using drugs, until the tenno appeared, children touched by the void who could forge a link between mind and body"

Umbras were tests/prototypes. And ballas always refer it as they/them, which generates the speculation of having more than 1 umbra

I guess I concede.  However, I don't concede to a Primed Nidus still.

Also, from what I read, it doesn't seem to be 100% fleshed out (No pun intended).  But the technocyte is within the Warframe from what it sounds like, not the Warframe itself.

Reading further, what actually states that Warframes are in fact made from the "Infested/Technocyte Virus"?  It seems a lot of people are taking liberties with the lore, and there is no concrete evidence.  I'd be happy if someone could provide some.
