Even if we can't target them, it would be nice to use slash commands to rename them,and it would be wonderful if they can use petsay as well, so the little guys could talk and emote. <_<

The pets couldn't be targeted and even when moused over nothing showed up.
Sorry forgot about that part.

Unfortunately, they have to be that way. Having them targettable was far too problematic.

You mean like the hoards of NPC's in Mayhem Missions? 
Yes, being able to rename them and use /petsay and /petsay <emote> would be -excellent-.
Don't see any reason why not, as they have no effect on gameplay, and surely the "MMs have the best control" card doesn't apply to a harmless personal pet.

That is all 
That little MekMan is too cute!
My robot/bubble MM will have to have one.
I think my Stormie is going to get the Mek Man. Then I'll say he found it in place of a cowering human hostage in a mission, and decided to keep it.

I'll take the Mek Man for Farwielder and say Manticore got it for him as a adoption present.

That probably would require the pets be targetable though.
I want a TeddyBear. One that follows me around, and sometimes gets the baddies to hit it instead of me.
I also want to buy eggs for a few dollars, have them hatch and grow to chickens, then use the forsale sign to make 100 dollars off them.

That's what I'm saying! We need them to take /petsay commands! 
What good are pets if we can't teach 'em tricks or spray them with water bottles?!?
pleeeease add /petsay commands

Through a bug a few characters got access to the 36 month vet rewards and thusly the pets
Rikti pet

Clockwork pet
Mek pet

There we go, thats better. 
Yep, emotes would be awesome. Maybe even one unique emote per pet, like having the gnome jump on your neck and start punching you (for no damage).

I hope it doesn't do that at the resturant. I mean, I spend all this time saving the city, so I don't have time to get a job that lets me afford nice silverware.

Ok, so assume for a second this bug did NOT occur. How did they plan to test these pets? Suddenly they get activated and then people are like "OMG they are so slow, they can't keep up with me because I have swift" just as the people are now?

Hahahahahahahahaha!
I'm just picturing a MekMan latched onto your leg, with you trying to run and shake him off. He starts crying and squeezes tighter. A bone snaps somewhere.
Okay, just the picture of a MekMan on your leg wus funny.

Im torn between apathy about the stupid pets, and outright wanting to take a poop on them.
I have only one problem with pets. Or rather, I have a problem with one of them.
Red Cap.
There's something fundamentaly wrong with having a homicidal, hunchbacked, bearded, ape-like, evil gnome for a pet.
It's not cute, and it cannot be explained flavor-wise.
Let me elaborate. Clockwork and robot are constructs, no problem. They totally work as pets. Demon and Rikti Monkey are at least moderately cute, and they don't quite possesss human-level intelligence or looks, so it's fitting for them to be pets.
But a Red Cap?
I don't know, it just doesn't fit in. It feels wrong. It's not pet material. It can work as a follower at best, or as a slave at worst. But not as a pet. It might be fitting for a villain, but definitely not for a hero.
A little Tuatha De Dannan? Fir Bolg? Hydra? Anything from Devouring Earth? All FANTASTIC choices for a pet. Red Cap is a whole different level of creature. It's like having a little witch following you around, or a tsoo sorcerer. It's wrong on many levels and I think it sends a different message than originally intended by devs.
Besides, shouldn't we have pets that correspond with five different archetypes? What happened to that idea?
Mutant - ?
Natural - ?
Magic - Red Cap, Demon
Technology - Clockwork, Robot
Science - Rikti Monkey (I guess, but it could also go under Technology)
I don't know... It could've been done with a bit more care.
I just wish the freakin Mekmen didn't have a 5th column emblem on their chest...
I mean come on why would a hero have a Nazi bot? And when the 5th returns that'll raise some questions with people in your SG I imagine....
"Hey Super Sam, umm me an the guys have been meaning to talk to you about your robo-buddy..."
"Shamus? What about him?"
"Well since the 5th returned we're kinda freaked out about having a mekman running around the base."
"Mekman? He's not a mekman he's my pet robot..."
"He has a 5th emblem emblazoned on his chest..."
"Um...so?"
"He attacked me last week when I had my yamacha on."
"That was just a hug."
"With second degree burns?"
"It was a very passionate hug."
"Get rid of him."

Get the MekMan. Then you can call him something like "Jose Mekman" or "Alfred Mekman" something that rolls off the tongue.
(this thought comes from an episode of Friends where Chandler explains how to pronounce SpiderMAN instead of Spiderman. "Because he's a spider MAN. He's not Joel Spiderman"
