Do you think when MMs go Rogue, they will get PPD bots instead of the same Villain side bots?

Actually, it'd be neat if you got as your Tier 1s, the PPD bots, your Tier 2s, the PPD Guardian things, and Tier 3, a Longbow heavy-ish kinda thing?

Now you're a Coordinator or somesuch. Tactician, maybe?

Yes thats what i mean. The diff types of PPD bots as your henchmen rather than the Villain ones.

I also think it would be neat to have a Rikti Comm Officer sort of MM hybrid.

Doubtful, but we don't know anything yet.

Besides, not all MMs who go rogue will want to work for the PPD

Well then they shouldn't be going rogue if they don't want to be working as a good guy.

However they could be corrupt PPD, that would be fun

PPD on the take, LOL.

What's inherently evil about regular robots?

Sometimes even the good guys have to do things that are against the law. (Look at daredevil, or batman. They use their vigilante status to cut through red tape.)

Either the police don't like them and hunt them, or they support them. But if they support them, they can't do it openly by supplying them with weaponry/technology because then they could get fired.

My mastermind is going rogue...

She wants to use her ninjas to protect people... at least until she finishes building the infiltration of her VG on Paragon City. Them she will strike, from the shadows, at the government and then be the all-scheming machiavellic secret leader...

Yes. I can get lost on a straight-line map.

I've seen just as many heroic ninjas and robots as villainous ones in all media, and plenty of heroic mercenaries, and even heroic thugs, zombies and demons (Hellboy anyone?). There's a lot in this very game. There's hundreds of ways to justify the existing Mastermind pets going hero without changing them at all.

I was wondering that myself. Also, why would they get PPD drones? It's not like villain 'bots MMs get Arachnos drones...

I want my good Mastermind to summon scouts.

Tier 1 is cub scouts, Tier 2 is boy scouts, Tier 3 is eagle scout.

I'd street sweep helping the elderly cross the street ALL DAY!

Funny how people are debating the evilness of robots when we have undead MM pets to worry about. Or the upcoming Demon Summoning set.

But then again, I'm the poster boy for good zombies.

Anti-heroes. Their zombies only eat the brains of the bad guys.

I could see someone making Michael Jackson in a heartbeat if that ever happened.

....Too soon to start joking about him again? To be fair, I don't believe the charges that were brought against him, and I was never a fan of his. But, it is one of the things people joke about most often regarding him.

I VERY highly doubt it. That would require either changing the models (because when you upgrade them their skins change) or creating brand new avatars for 'blue' MM's and I highly doubt the devs are going to reskin every MM set for blue side. That's a helluva lot of work.

Y'know, now I'm getting a funny idea...

Why is it heroes never have issues with the police or the media? I'd love it if a J. Jonah Jameson-ish NPC were thrown into Paragon just to tear down your character every once in a while. Heck, my latest hero would fit perectly as the "menace to society" :P

*Hopeful-but-snowballs-chance-in-hell* Maybe if you go evil, then back to good, say for some double-agent work or the "unlikely teamup", you'll lose the trust of the police? Would spice things up nicely.

Eh, just thinking aloud...


The off-beat space pirate...Capt. Stormrider (50+3 Elec/Storm Science Corruptor)
The mysterious Djinn...Emerald Dervish (50+1 DB/DA Magic Stalker)
The psychotic inventor...Dollmaster (50 Bot/FF Tech Mastermind)

Virtue Forever.

Side note: I'd rather have the PPD Hardsuits as a costume option.

The robots aren't evil, the guy with thier remote control is.

That being said, I just hope I'll be able to change their colors come I16.

As for going Rogue, I think the robots would be the most likely to follow the MM as thier programmed to do.

As for the other minions, I might find it hard to believe that thugs would change thier alignment from evil to good just because their boss said so. Then again, perhaps they'd just follow the MM everywhere regardless of his ideas or motives.

My "dream that would never happen" customization option would be to have bots that look similar to this
