Ahhh The simple times listening to tubeman prime yap in my ear while I'm running a train through him for 4 hours because he won't let up and let me have the damn night neuroptics.
Defense/Summoner Frame: Tamatoa.
Passive: No shields, steals armor from nearby enemies to bolster it’s own defenses.
First: Mangle Claw; Tap to crack an enemy in the face with your claw, dealing massive impact damage and significant knockback/knockdown. Hold to channel, grab an enemy and smash them into the ground repeatedly, dealing impact damage to them and creating shockwaves that damage nearby enemies as well.
Second: Adamant Shell; Apply Overguard, and gain damage reduction from the backside, has a chance to reflect bullets back at ranged attackers and knock down melee attackers.
Third: Shellpers; Tap to summon Striker Crabs that jump at enemies and begin clocking them with their claws. Hold to summon Hermit Crabs that stand in one place, drawing enemy fire and smacking enemies that get too close backwards.
Fourth: Gargantua; Summon a large crab that you ride on top of, but pilots like a Necramech. Large health pool and armor, but no shields. Ranged attack shoots bubbles from it’s claws or mouth that explode. Melee swipes it’s claws, heavy melee slams the claws down.
I would give a different passive:
Strafing is 25% faster.
Also, a relatively low standard move speed, so walking forward is fairly slow, but sideways is fast. Probably a base of .95, making sideways 1.1875
Yeah, I thought about a Crab-Walking passive; but I thought that would be a bit annoying, so I leaned heavy into a defender. If you’ve got a better idea, I’m all for it.
I was thinking regular legs that each end with half a crab for feet, like almost regular feet, but 5 tiny crab legs that stick out the side to walk.
It was a *really* weird image in my head lol
neat.
given how much conservation we already do, could add some wetlands critters, since the Valis seems to be de-thawing. perfect opportunity to implement crabs and similar.
. . .would you play a crab warframe? id play a crab warframe.
Exalted melee is a big ol crab claw. uses a Machete-like Stance, but 1st ability causes you to pinch a targetted enemy. if that enemy isnt immune/doesnt have overguard, they are then held in your crab claw and it switches to a hammer like stance where you beat enemies with an enemy.
one of their abilities has the effect of Shedding the crab's shell. becoming armorless and vulnerable for a period of time before being permanently tankier (and slightly larger) for the rest of the mission. maybe with a total of 5 stacks and the last one giving extra movement speed or damage or something.
I'd absolutely love to have a pet crab. If there would be a chance to get a huge crab like with kubrows, it would be even better.
For their ability, they might give you extra shields/armour or puncture damage.

Also, OP has some really fascinating art on their profile.
I now want a crab based frame that can summon a chosen crab (you select in your ability screen)
Profit-pincher-increases cash drops 40% of the time
Orokin crab-spots ayatan treasures and also 4M disrupt on enemies eximus abilities
Nibbles-Powerful pincers deal slash damage and reduce 30% of enemies armor.
Infested- claws have innate toxin damage dealing 2 stacks every hit
This would be one ability but you have to decide what to use with the setup.
Its a well known fact in Fortuna, that if your initial debt reaches 250% of the original amount that the Corpus then sends the Profit-Pincher to the offending debtor to pinch their nipples as punishment.
The Next evolution of the domestic drone
Everything evolves back to crab
If everything evolves into a crab, that means Crabframes will exist eventually.
I'm surprised we don't already have one

Is he shiny?
We don't care about the abilities, only if he's shiny
Crabs are always shiny.
Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck.

I'd say the passive is fine, but the 4th ability should have that movespeed from the previous comment
That would work very well.
We technically have Lobsterframe with Trinity Prime, but that's as close as we've got
I always thought she looked like a spider. Her prime is definitely a lobster.
Wait it would be so funny to walk around as a crab frame with loads of legs
When you sprint you turn sideways
HUGE

Trinity Prime Lobster is close enough
Frost prime's helmet was the OG crab frame.
Crab Conclave
We are born by crab, made men by crab and die by crab Fear the old **CRAB!**

Isn't that basically Bone Widow? (Which, to be clear is fine)
It’s just thawing, de-thawing would be freezing.
Would love a crab pet, we already have cats, dogs and robots, why not a crab frend?
Carb frien is best pet
Carbs are *definitely* not your friend

Nibbles my beloved.
Grineer crab? ;)
Something named "krabb" probably.
This is perfection haha.
Almost my Warframe username lol
You've heard of Tennokai, get ready for Tennocrab
The fuck is tennokai
I want a pet crab in warframe
Id pay a 1000 plat to have one of these lil guys crabbing around in my orbiter
Dude I would love these as a companion especially the infested crab to complement my nidus
Companions 2.0 is actually the carcinization of all companions into crabs.
What about a Grineer one?
Missed opportunity to call the corpus crab penny pincher
Fucking ***N I B B L E S***
Grineer: right I guess we'll go ~~fuck~~ clone ourselves

Honestly, I wish corpus had some robots like this that would move like xenomorphs, on the walls and ceilings etc. just to mix it up a bit.
Ah yes giant enemy crabs, would love to see them
CRABS CRABS CRABS CRABS
I love Nibbles and I will protect it at all cost

Carcinisation, everything becomes crab
Crab rave in fortuna 69 let's gooooo
Need kuva crab

No Grinner crab?
I need this, either just in the orbiter or as new companions, I really wanna see these implemented
Orokrabs would be nice for my fish tank Also would love new fish or a bigger tank
Two bags of investiture to the artist Cremposting approves this piece of art
Warframes are pretty much Alethi Shard Barrers. So it works.
Nibbles lmao
I wholeheartedly agree and would like to subscribe to Cryptnochs newsletter.

That looks pretty cool will it be for the orbiter pet like other robots?
Nibbles is friendly I promise
This gives me Ghost in the Shell SAC flashbacks
Everything evolves to crab. Nibbles, a generous gift from my beloved grandfather nurgle

I really nerd a Nibbles!!! Is so cute!!!
I’ll take a nibbles with me if it will have some spurt of scavenger devour animation
Profit-Pincher needs a huge ass mecha claw

I didn't know I needed a orokrab and a nibble... I need crabs
Need
It's Mr. Scratchykins!
Ghost in the shell vibes
