Afraid to disappoint, we are Controller level at best. Defenders remain supreme for buffs, as it should be.
This means Manouvres is negligable and the defense bonus from Dispersion Bubble/Forcefield Generator may not be worth overslotting beyond the 3 Def (most useful for it's status resists).
The Protrector Bots Force Shield is equivalent to your own combo of Insulation/Defelection but in one power.
No idea about max defense cap. No idea about henchman max defense either (not a numbers tester here - haven't got the patience!)
Defense numbers add, where they are defense of the same type. Deflection and Insulation do not offer any of the same defense type and hence do not stack in and of themselves (they will offer a full range of defense though, when both are used, to all damage types).

I disagree. Leadership is the ideal PP for MMs, (it even says so in positrons guide 
) We should get the full bonus the same as defenders get.
Well you have your inherent MM Ability which adds up to the Leadership pool, so I think the bonuses we get from those Leadership Abilities are ok.

The inherent is only damage and accuracy and is unslottable. Its not to make up the difference in leadership its so you cant hover/ PFF /invis in complete safety while your bots do all the work.
I have a few questions about defense.
Do Masterminds get the full (defender) bonus from Leadership? ie 6.25% defense?
How much defense does the Protector Bots sheild give?
What is the MM max defense cap and do the minions have the same cap?
Do the defense numbers add or multiply, ie if you have 2 different shields with 25% to smashing and lethal (dispersion bubble + deflection sheild) - does that make 50% or 31.25%?
