**Up until , Rhino Prime's Iron Skin was also gold in color instead of the unprimed Rhino's grey color. It is now affected by Rhino Prime's chosen accent color.
**In addition, Iron Skin has a visual effect of degrading as it wears off, shown in the patches of the Warframe's base colour that will seep through.
*Rhino Prime was the first prime Warframe with a non-static model, the second being , with what appears to be a continuously-moving golden wind-up key on his back.
