First of all, Banshee Prime, Euphona Prime, and Helios Prime have all been known about for at least a week. Dataminers discovered files for them, see this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warframe/comments/5rke2g/datamine_next_prime_access_information_1990/

Secondly, Prime versions that don't quite make logical sense are not unheard of:

Non-orokin origin:

The Braton is explictly " a cheap production assault rifle manufactured by the  Corpus ", and nonetheless has a Prime variant.

The Lex, while not explictly stated to originate from the Corpus, shares a very similar industrial style, as opposed to the sleek lines of Tenno-manufactured weapons.

Valkyr, while obviously Orokin in origin, attributes her abilities and unique behavior (screaming in rage, etc) to corpus experimentation/torture. Nonetheless, her untouched Prime variant behaves identically.

No non-prime or 'normal' variant:

Dakra Prime only has a Dex variant, and it behaves completely differently and is a dual version.

Reaper Prime, one of the first Primes ever released, has no normal variant. The closest is Hate, which may not be related given the different differences between the weapons.

Beyond these, there are also various other items of lesser note which have no normal variant. There is a entire series of prime-only Syandanas, as seen here, among other cosmetics including Sugatras, sigils, sentinel cosmetics, armor pieces, Pedestel Prime, and more.

The existence of these items is very probable given a variety of evidence. There are many items which do not possess a 'non-Prime' version, and Prime versions of technology that does not originate from the Orokin or the Tenno is not unheard of. Finally, DE reserves the right to go back on their word, and for better or worse, have done so in the past.

In the future, please research before you suggest changes to a factually-grounded Wiki. This Wiki plays a vital role in Warframe community; without it, a massive portion of the carefully documented information within it, would be unavailable to players. So we must ensure all information on the Wiki is unbiased and factual, not based on assumptions and incorrect intuition.
