Just as a response to Ranutso, Revenant was not built by the Sentients. Also the warframes (unprimed) are replications of prime warframes, the Tenno are building them with the knowledge they can remember or have been given by various factions relating to the way you recieve the warframe. The prime warframe are not refinements of normal warframes, normal warframes are downgraded versions of the prime warframes, which were the original ones. Sure Nidus is themed around infestation, but all of the warframes were developed with the Infestation through the use of Tennocyte (the alloy used to construct warframes that is also Infested). This is futher shown when facing Phorid as he calls us infested puppets, and in the Sacrifice (spoilers), where we learn that Ballas created the warframes by infecting Dax soldiers with the infestation. In my mind this leaves no reason for Nidus to not have a prime verson, or really for any warframe to not have a prime version. In the case of Revenant I can understand why you would have thought the Sentients would have made him, however he was made to restrain the sentients on the plains, which is a conflict of interest (it would be like the Tenno making a warframe that is only good at killing Tenno {rip conclave}).
