- helios is corpus technology, cannot be primed! (DE said that on some of the devstreams)

Actually, primed weapons (and possibly to an extent, warframes), which are actually just Orokin-made weapons, were reverse-engineered and/or used as a baseline for many Corpus, Grineer, and Tenno weaponry. Vor's Seer pistol is one such example.

As for Valkyr, my thoughts are that the non-primed version wasn't an actual warframe to begin with, but a separate race. Her Gersemi skin is what she looked like before capture, and Alad V does say "If it's your FRIENDS you're looking for..."; it's entirely possible that the Gersemi race were allies with Tenno. This is plausible because of the Glast Gambit quest confirming that there are other races that are allied with Tenno. My theory is that Gersemi were possible wroking with Tenno to create a warframe based on their race (Nidus makes this theory plausible; an entire frame built from Infestation), and what happened with Valkyr is that a Gersemi (that Gersemi being Valkyr) was captured by Alad V, and interrogated and experimented on, driving her insane. The Valkyr frame would then be a result of Tenno utilizing her anger and agility to create the planned warframe, and that she was used for the design. Her Orokin (prime) counterpart would be what the frame was planned to be, combining Orokin technology with Gersemi abilities.
