I'm going to dump a huge section of lore theory and conjecture on here and take from it what you will. I'll also try to put citations to codex entries and Dev streams where I can remeber the original basis for the theory. Warframes and Tenno are seperate things. The Warframe is a suit of specialized armor and the Tenno is a living being inside of it. Excalibur Primes codex "We took the twisted few that had returned from that place. We built a frame around them, a conduit of their affliction" There is also a very blunt differentiation in the Mag Prime codex entry, ""It" stood in the aisle, a slender and eyeless metal form. A Tenno inside its Warframe" The powers do not come from the Warframe but from the Tenno. Notice in the Excal entry it calls the Warframe a conduit, which implies the Warframe likely helps them to focus their powers. As well, the Rhino Prime entry clearly has at least Iron Skin being used by a Tenno outside of it's Warframe. "The hulking mass, flickering red, glinting like steel and fresh blood. Its skin changes, flowing like mercury when I'm blinded by the sudden muzzle-flashes." As well, the Ember Prime Codex has long been interpreted as occurring after a young Ember burns Kaleens face. The piece of the Excalibur entry above also implies each Warframe was custom built to it's Tenno. With all of this in mind. There was a Tenno that was named Valkyr and had a Warframe built for it. This Tenno and it's Warframe were captured by Alad V, where he ripped pieces from the Warframe to build Zanuka and tourtured Valkyr the Tenno. Valkyr the Tenno was changed by the torture which illicited a change in her powers creating the rage filled angry Valkyr we know. Prime means that an object is built out of Orokin technology and is applied to Warframes not to Tenno, as Tenno are living beings. Valkyr Prime isn't a different Valkyr but just the one we have placed into an Orokin Tech Warframe. If you took Valkyr the Tenno and put her into a different suit of armor it doesn't change her powers because the powers are based on the Tenno not on the Warframe. Therefore, Valkyr Prime will have the same powers as the Valkyr we currently have. Valkyr may very well have had a different but similar set of powers before being tortured but, there is no longer an untortured Valkyr so their can't be an untortured Valkyr Prime. PS. DE long ago stated in very specific terms that any weapon or Warframe can become Prime regardless of it's origin.
