Yeah, my 3rd tier 1 Bot seems to like to get up close and personal. For his next trick he usually faceplants.
My second Spec-Ops - named "Omega" - has more balls than the rest of my squad put together, yet he barely has the brains to fill his left glove.
He will always -without fail - run up and start meleeing the Enemy Dishing Out MegaDoom(tm), rather than, y'know, stay away from the sharp stabby bits and shoot it from a distance.
Ironically enough, he seems to be the last to die.
one of my little battle bots seems to enjoy going up to freaks and hit'em in the nuts 
does this to EBs as well but never seems to get attacked
Dominguez and Romirez are typically stupid in equal amounts, Enrique is the repsonsible one.
Hmm, yeah my arsonist goes with the brute sometimes to melee stuff "look what i can do!" "Did you see that!" /em boast bicep, he's also very stubborn and refuses my orders but hey thugs are like that sometimes. He's a real comedian with those stunts. "So what's that thing flying trough the air?" "Just the arsonist, dont worry about him.".
Then again the brute just wants to throw some rocks, "like i'm going to actually hit that guy, get real, it would ruin my gloves." 
my arsonist does whatever he likes and ends up nearly dead most of the time. and thats *without* the 2nd upgrade!
It's always my Merc Medic... 
Well, if we're at minions just doing something stupid, as opposed to being suicidal, I'd have to nominate my whole ninja gang for that. They have strong melee attacks and weaker ranged attacks. Yet one will run in and melee (typically a tier 1 Genin) while the others stand away and throw shuriken, doing pitiful damage. (For crying out loud... at least use the bow.)
Kinda makes me wonder if there's indeed much of a "prefer ranged" or "prefer melee" preference in the AI, since melee and ranged minions seem to do more or less the same thing. The ranged robots always have 1 or 2 which charge into melee, while the melee ninjas... well, act much the same.
Or it's almost funny (keyword: almost) seeing the Jounin eventually rush in, throw caltrops, Placate... then follow the slowly moving enemy for about 8 seconds... then finally hit them with a critical Gambler's Cut. I'm pretty sure that their other, more damaging attacks were recharged too, since the previous fight was half a minute ago.

Agreed, he has short range so he tends to commence the faceplanting.

Heh...one of my punks is called Kenny....yet he's the one thats always left standing when everyone else is dead
Now i have my 2nd pet ive noticed Vermin gets the sharp end of the stick loads more than cowboy.
It does seem as if one of my tier one robots gets more grief than any of my other pets. However they all seem to be behaving better since the last patch(famous last words).
One of my zombies, Mr Grey, seems to get splatted first all the time.
The fact his owner is standing behind him not healing specifically to rip the soul from his body probably doesn't help
It's usually a close call between Tony Tequila and Mad Chihuahua...

I find this to on my medic hes the 3rd solider you get and most of the posts here seem to indicate there 3rd pet is the one who dies the most, imo i think its down to these pets having shorter range than the others.
As for spec opps or second lvl pets doing it i cant explain that one maybe there just crazy

Just a quick tip about the medic, I've found that if I don't equip him he has the same range as his other tier 1 buddies, I think this is to do with the upgrade giving him a shorter range/higher damage machine gun....By using this method I've noticed he doesn't go suicidal so much.
I think with the medic its the 'trigger system'. Since at both upgrades he has a heal and a buff both at close range. Seems when i want to buff another pet, wich just runs out of his range, he just straight runs over to the mobs.

My Zombie Winthorpe seems to die a lot more than anyone else. Philip the Grave Knight also tends to run into a group of mobs very quickly, before the Zombies even go in, so he dies.
My darn bruiser C O'brien needs seconds before he realizes that he should attack! How dare he anger me? I'm captain, damnit!
Bruizers are just dumb big piles of muscles, should be logic.
MM - "Go, attack my target!".
Bruizer - "Ok. err.. oh he said GO. ok i go."
Runs to mob
Bruizer - "Err.. what did he say? Go erm... attack!"
Looks around
Bruizer - "Oh.. what i smash? I ask boss.. no he get mad errr.."
Mobs are defeated
Bruizer - "yeey i am good boy!"

Pistol and the Gangs of New York never die.. unless it's those god-forsaken Longbows! Grrr! Roar! Aahg! Gr!
PS. Thugs/FF ftw!.. disagree? Lets battle it out. I choose the white pieces.. Knight to E4! *rubs chin*
One of my Sisters (See Supergroup name in profile) raised this with me the other day and it does seem to be true...
Do you find that there is one of your henchmen who dies more than any other....wanders off more than any other...and is generally a total numpty at times?
I noticed this peculiar fact and have renamed my 2nd zombie to be a rather disliked blaster we all know and love so that I have the satisfaction of seeing him die (can undead die??) again and again!!
hehehe
