Why didn't Retro make new Beam pirates... Why?

Because it wouldn't fit the story at all. Samus had been using the classic beams on them since the first game, and spent a large majority of Prime using those same beams on them again. In Echoes they didn't even SEE the beams until they were down to exactly 21 pirates left on the whole goddamned planet--ten commandos fought later on, two grenadiers that respawn, two grenadiers that don't, and seven aerotroopers that respawn. I highly doubt OMG LETS COPY HER EQUIPMENT was at teh top of their to-do list when two Samuses, any surviving Feds they might encounter (hey, they don't know they're dead), the Ing, the wildlife, the lack of equipment, the lack of energy sources, and the lack of any hope for survival whatsoever loomed over their heads...

Good point. I guess I should really think of what I'm saying... It's kind of funny that you, Daz, of all people are insulting pirates. :P
If I were to trip, would the result be an explosion or a duck?
Will make plots for food.

I see there IS a DIFFERERENCE between long stupid posts and long really good posts!

But really though, that is right to the point! And i think there are Commandos that respawn

No, none of them respawn. Those are Dark Commandos, and those don`t count. ( I think)

Commandoes never respawn. Grenadiers and Aerotroopers respawn normally, and Troopers respawn until a certain point in the game, where they are replaced with Grenadiers.
