Yep mine do that too, and it's annoying the hell out of me
So many alts, so little time... Where's an Altoholics meeting when you need one?
Worse still if on a big team they will run off to heal someone elses pet even if you tell them to heel or stay. Which if there are intervening mobs can be nasty.
I noticed some missions now, that they wont bubble at all in some cases. Finaly after halfway the mission they finaly decide to start bubbling my and other pets, dispite changing from def/atk/passive mode.
My current workaround for the other pets first is to spawn them first so they can start bubbling while i spawn/upgrade my other bots.

They wont do any bubbles if you sit them in passive mode, But the thing you mentioned before is probably just a pet on the team sitting behind a wall or something.
Nope, often in office maps with me as only MM in the team (vary from 4-7 members) neither of them would start to bubble eachother or the other bots. passive, defensive or aggressive didnt make a difference, they only healed the other bots when needed. I know they both didnt bubble since my battle bots didnt have even 1 bubble (they should get 2 eventualy).

Now I don't know if anyone else but me has noticed this, But protector bots will bubble every single pet on the team, in order, before your own pets.
Now I have no issue with this, but if the bots are working through the bubble list, and it cant see the pet its trying to bubble. Then it will simply stop bubbling everything until that pet comes back in range.
This is just screaming out as a bug to me, Anyone else noticed it?

From what I can tell, your Protector bots bubble all pets (and you) in the reverse order to which they spawned.
So, these days when I'm teamed with another mastermind (waves at Treason 
) I summon my PB's, and then wait for the other MM to summon their pets, THEN I summon Mr. Stompy, the idiot trio and my force field generator. That way, if I'm quick enough getting the PB's out, they bubble each other, and throw a couple at the other pets, then get the rest of my pets and the FFG, and THEN start on the rest of the pets present.
Took me a while to figure out the AI rules involved though. And the whole 'not attacking anything until everything has a bubble' issue is easily enough avoided through the use of "/petcom_all attack aggressive" bound to an appropriate button. They won't bubble while they're trying to cause laser induced peritonitis in whatever my target of the moment is

Another small thing, that they bubble up the seeker drones thus wasting endurance, actually they can run out of it in prolonged battles.
