All Warframes in release order (and their Primes)

The central feature of Warframe is its titular space-ninja-war-machines. At the time of writing, there are 59 unique Warframes (Temple, the 60th one, just got announced). Each of them is a unique character (or class, depending on how you look at it) with four or more unique skills. They all stick to some cohesive element or theme that ties their abilities, with few and far between identity overlaps with others.

The game was released with a batch of eight Warframes in its first public beta. We've come a long way since then—making it a fun exercise to see how Warframe design philosophy changed gradually with their release order and the inevitable power creep.

All Prime Warframes in release order

Prime Warframes are the ultimate version of a frame, boasting higher stats, more polarized mod slots, and an alternative Orokin-coded look. Their only downside is that they cannot be fed to the Helminth. In another sense, this logic incentivizes you to keep min-max Prime Warframes while the originals get chucked into the subsume pot.
