I disagree with some points in the guide, but I'll have to dissect it later.

Nonetheless, a good start and overview.

MMs are not defenders we do not let out pets die because PETs are our powers letting them die is like asking a brute to stop hitting things and use medicine pool to heal...

Speaking of which:

the Brutefender
Happened to me the other day, while on a /kin corr. PUG is lvl 8ish, and we have a L10 Brute with us. For some reason, the brute has heal other and a leadership power. What happens: Brute wades in, stalker hits AS. The dom drops, the stalker drops, and I finally figure out that the brute isn't targeting mobs, because he's healing - or trying to. After that I preferred to assist the stalker.

The (stupid) Ninja Scout
I prefer running SFs/TFs with a toon able to stealth and teleport, it just cuts soooo much time off it all. But sometimes there's stalkers who can't quite grasp the meaning of:
1.)aggro range: "But, they didn't see meee!" (to the person who got 1-hitted by the AV)
2.)announcing teleports: "How was I supposed to know they would run across the map and aggro everything?!?!?" (to the dead MM and/or wiped team)
3.)common sense: "Oh, you were fighting?" (to the corr/brute/mm who's watching the green turn yellow and black)

Combining two of the above circumstances at the same time makes for a real fun Strikeforce, but hey, go for all three of em to be sure that your teammates have something to tell their friends.

Oh, and if one of your TP tricks goes bad, and you and the other person is/are getting swamped/faceplanting/cursing... be sure to teleport more people in, so everyone can take a great nap together!

Yay! A contest!
Oh, I've got a great idea!
Wait, what's this?

Is there any way for a non-US to participate? Even if it's just to earn an honorable mention?

Great introduction to tanking. And fun to read, too.

"Take taunt!" <---best, and truest words in the whole text. I found myself running with Taunt and Provoke with my inv/nrg because it took so "long" to get a pbaoe aura.

I have a problem.

My Robotics Mastermind is a robot himself - just a robot, pure and simple. He has his regular costume and two empty costume slots. I'm getting a feeling this will end up being a one-costume character. I mean, what would a robot, manufactured to be just what he was manufactured to be, have as an extra appearance? Robots don't have capes or clothing or multiple color scheme "outfits"... or anything like that. I just can't think of anything else to do with him.

I'm totally lost with this character's costumes.

It's kinda hard to say anything w/o the costume, but what about a battle-ravaged outfit? Going up or down the tech-ladder would work towards the same effect.

What if he redesigns/modifys to fit to a patron or ally? The strategic reasoning would be there.

Color Wheel - The triangles are good, but complimentary colors my shiny metal behind. Orange and Blue ? Only if your a Cobra Urban Viper or DeathStroke. Purple and Yellow ? Yeah just like..no wait.....yeah there pretty much isn't anyone in comics running around in purple and yellow.
