Warframe: Mutalists (Emptylord)

Mutalists are the Infested 'Lich' system. 
I came up with this idea when musing about what the hypothetical-next Lich system could focus on, and whether or not we thought the next Lich System would be Infested, Corrupted, Sentient or perhaps even something related to the upcoming Void Open World (maybe you can spawn your own Shadows as a Steel Path Lich). 
The moment I thought of an Infested Warframe as a new Warframe variant - I got hooked on the idea. They've infested virtually everything else, and so that idea that Infested might eventually evolve to pilot a Warframe; and they would be motivated to do so versus the tenno. I then thought: this would be an awesome opportunity to breathe some life into those older Prime Warframes, such as the following:
* Mutalist Banshee + Mutalist Euphona
* Mutalist Hydroid + Mutalist Ballistica
* Mutalist Loki + Mutalist Bo + Mutalist Wyrm??
* Mutalist Mag
* Mutalist Nova + Mutalist Soma + Mutalist Vatso
* Mutalist Nyx + Mutalist Hikoi + Mutalist Scindo
* Mutalist Oberon + Mutalist Silva & Aegis + Mutalist Sybaris
* Mutalist Rhino + Mutalist Boltor + Mutalist Ankyros
* Mutalist Volt + Mutalist Odanata??
* Mutalist Zephyr + Mutalist Tiberon + Mutalist Kronen
They would only spawn with one item. The element could use the normal system or perhaps they could be generated based on damage deal with weapons, to mirror using frames to spawn weapons. The Infested Lavaling could absorb damage until satiated, and then roll based on the damage received. Perhaps Mutalists have unique abilities that can be subsumbed by Helminth, meaning there's a reason to kill each one twice (one to have in your arsenal and one to feed); and then it's only the weapons that can be "valance fusioned" for an element. Or maybe all Mutalists could operate like Umbra and they have a resistance stat you can farm for, like weapons element. The frame would be what you roll for when farming - with the Infested Lavaling showing a square with Mutalist Ash's face or Mutalist Banshee, for example. The weapon could also be telegraphed, for frames with multiple weapons (or only one weapon could be done per frame).
