No hope for plasma or antiproton hybrid weapons?

I think the Phaser, Disruptor and Tetryon procs are well spoken for now and any future unique weapons should avoid them. We currently have these hybrids:
Disruptor/Plasma
Disruptor/Phaser
Tetryon/Phaser
Polaron/Tetryon
Two weapon types I shudder to think about are Polaron/Phaser (double subsystem debuff) or Disruptor/Tetryon (double defensive debuff). They'd be the most overpowered weapons in the game compared to everything else.
What I'd like to see are (more) Plasma or Antiproton hybrid weapons. With plenty of weapons with two special procs being so readily available, I think Antiproton especially have been left out in the cold.
Disruptor/Plasma
Disruptor/Phaser
Tetryon/Phaser
Polaron/Tetryon

With good reason. It the most reliable, and most pure DPS extra. The other procs have plenty of uses due to one thing and another. But for pure raw maximised reliable DPS AP is leaps ahead of everyone else. Especially on the ground where burst, and hence crits are the ruling elements.
LOL... maybe something like this?

I doubt we'd see a hybrid Antiproton, but maybe when Iconians show up we'll get some perhaps.
Oh good heavens, that is quite a mouthful. I'd dare say though, with that many potential procs, that weapon really should be purple without any addon buffs. Just having all 5 procs makes it 5x more likely to get a bonus effect than any regular weapon. It should totally fire either pure white (from the tons of energy poured into that beam) or a random color each time it fires (just for fun).
I agree with carl in this, AP is fine.
As to hybrids, they fine as well. The fact they are hybrids is the advantage they carry, they need no further buffs.
R.I.P
And the Ground version looks like this!
Exactly lol
