Cyborg and Robot. These could work as both a HEAT or a VEAT.
The Robot would be modular. It would have 24 slots for powers. Each slot would be geared toward a "tech level". A power could be slotted that was that tech level or lower. You would start with 2 basic tech level 1 powers at level 1. At level 2 you would get 1 tech level 2 slot. There would be no enhancement slots given to this AT. So at level 3 you would get nothing.
But you could swap powers throughout the game buy visiting "Shops" like a longbow shop, crey, freaks, Nem, vanguard, Archnos. Each shop could offer their offical flavored powers.
Powers could be like Tech level 1 armor - 10% to Smash/Lethal, or Tech level 1 laser - Lethal/energy damage
Now a Cyborg would have 12 modular parts, and have to choose 1 power set (Maybe Super strength, MM bots, AR or the like). The Modular selection would be the secondary power. And on levels that you would normally recieve 2 or 3 enhancement slots you would only recieve 1 since you have only half a build to slot.
Origin of course would be Technology.
Costume pieces could be added to show these modular powers.
One drawback would be that say a Tech level 4 Crey Frost blast, would be the same on all toons since it doesn't get enhancements.
Not fully fleshed out idea but the general thought is there.

I'm not so crazy about this idea for 3 reasons.[*]Less or zero enhancement slots. No set bonuses for Robots? And how much accuracy/damage/resistance/etc. would the unbuffable powers get?[*]A Cyborg that selects a melee set without the benefit of some kind of defense or resistance would be heavily gimped.[*]It seems there's more groups that a villain Robot/Cyborg EAT could buy from than a hero Robot/Cyborg EAT.

well i did say it wasn't fleshed out.
But yes you could have buff debuff mods.
Tech level 6 Radiation leak. PAOE debuff power like a rad.
Tech level 4 force Field.
Tech level 8 net For a hold. My idea was that almost any power could be copied. Just put it in Tech terms. People could build a support robot or a killing machine their choice.
It was a bit think outside the box.
Given NCSoft has a mech game it shouldnt be that foriegn of an idea.

Back on topic however, I see someone mentioned coralax.
I would LOVE to be able to make a coralax toon. In that body form also! Would be a lot of fun & have good canon (or however you say that) as in could be tied to the lore of the game. :-)

I have, frankly, been waiting for this - they're perfectly suited to work against both sides of the game. That said, the "plan" was to bring Incarnates in next. No word on how that's going.
