SLIGHT pet customization?

do you think it could be possible now, that we can alter Particle FX colors, that we could go into pets like say, Robotics or Ninjas and customize their powers?

For example, changing the colors of the robot lasers or force field, or changing the katana or MA animations of the ninjas?

I'd settle for being able to add camouflage and colors to the skins of the Robots.

i would like to be able to take my pets to the costume shop and change their clothing.
i want to take my thugs and dress them up in bunny suits with ears and fluffy tails......
please....it would look so awesome!!

Changing the actual pet models/textures is a pretty far cry from changing the colors of the VFX in the game, so I am 100% cool with that flavor of "power customization" not being supported (yet), but I do agree with the OP, I really would like it if we could change the VFX colors of the pets' powers.
It's going to be exceedingly weird playing a MM with, say, blue dark blasts or red force fields when your dead guys are shooting black and your robot bubbles are still teal.

I24 Proc Chance = (Enhanced Recharge + Activation Time) * (Current PPM * 1.25) / 60*(1 + .75*(.15*Radius - 0.011*Radius*(360-Arc)/30))
Single Target Radius = 0. AoE Non-Cone Arc = 360.

My money is on it being a technical issue with the mastermind upgrades (particularly Thugs). Otherwise, there's no real reason we shouldn't be able to colorize henchmen, since BaBs said even Traps could be customized if he has time to work on it.

even though the colors of the powers might not be changed i bieleve we can change the appearance (if the devs allow it) of the aussalt bot since you can do it in MA

I'd guess it has to do with the fact that it would involve a LOT of costume data rather than just 2 color options per power.

exactly, which is why Im wondering if we can do the 2 color thing...for the MM pet powers liek the laser or zombie blasts

(also, possibly customizing the guns/swords/bows of the weapon users...)

No, because they have many powers. That was my point, that what you want to customize are subpowers of one power.

It would be a good addition to make but adding that ability would probably make the issue take longer.

also, it'd make it come soon(tm)er
