Well ok... I was just in Cimerora, with my 50 blaster and his lil Mekman.
At casting, he did his usual fist in palm emote.
I made him run a bit to break from current emote and standed there. He took the standard hero pose crossarms/fists on hips.
I thought to bring him around combat to try to get him into cheering actions.
While i had no problem convincing some romans to be slaughtered for science, i couldnt get any emotion at all from the lil mek.
End of report.
My clockwork pet does the juggle_electricity emote occasionally. The faint hope that it will happen is the only reason I ever bring him out anymore. I've never seen him dance, and I've never really spent much time with any other type of vet pet out to see if they did anything interesting.
It's not new with i16, since I first saw it before the issue came out. I have no idea when it was added though. Like most people, I'm don't have it out very often or pay it much attention when I do.

I guess I should have mentioned it doesn't happen consistently on every spawn, just randomly now and again. I'll see if I can't get a screen shot or three of the little bugger doing his thing, assuming he's cooperative.
He doesn't seem to do the emotes for very long, though. I noticed 3 emotes that mission, the one dance and two plotting, and the times he was plotting he'd switch back to the standard idle pose before the fight ended.
Sounds to me like he was planing to take your stuff if you lost

Here's a pic of my character and the pet juggling together.

Caught him in action a few times, he's hard to pin down. Many of his emotes don't loop, so if I wasn't quick on the printscreen, I'd miss it.
Great timing on this one, I'd just pulled one spawn from a group of 3 and hid around the corner, only to witness him doing the chicken emote. Taunting them or me, I'm not so sure.
Dancing
I had a number of other captures, but they didn't turn out well enough to post. During the two missions I ran, he also did Wait, cracked his knuckles, and what I thought before to be Plot, but turned out to be his hands on the side of his mouth, like the kid in the Home Alone movie.
Many of them aren't subtle either, can't believe I didn't notice it before. Then again, I rarely claim the non-combat pets. Thinking it must be newish, don't remember them doing it out of the gate when they were fresh and everyone was summoning them.
Could it be something exclusive to the Clockwork pet? I've been playing with my Red Cap pet for a while today also, I was playing with my Mek Man pet earlier today and neither of them did anything.

Hmmm... That'd be strange if true. Unless maybe they were testing to see if anyone would notice before upgrading the rest. The juggle electricity emote the clockwork uses was probably added with/after the magic booster.
If the Clockwork emotes, the Mek Man should as well, since they probably share the same skeleton. I'll see if I can't coax the little guy into posing for the camera for us and report back later.
I have noticed, so far that only the clock pet does random emotes. I think it is great, and wish the others would too. Makes it worth having them around.
�Many things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.�
Rolled a new alt, took it through outbreak and several missions afterwards, but my little Mek Man only shifted between several idle emotes. Either he can't do emotes like the Clockwork can, or was too camera shy.
Wonder if it's just a matter of them already having many emotes in the wild, Clockwork are always doing something in zone spawns... digging, building, sapping power transformers, ect.
I hope this is a feature to be added to the other pets, that's pretty dang cool :3
The only emotes I've seen are used on my combat Clockwork pet, and that's just him using the "Carrying a mini-I-Beam while walking" that normal Clockwork do. Since he's a flyer, getting him to 'walk' is near impossible; it only happens when he's at ground level, far enough away to trigger his running to me AI, but close enough that he won't use it at full speed.
It's cute to see him carry an I-Beam, at his size it looks like he wants to salvage a metal toothpick.

Today while I was soloing on my lowbie Brute, I jumped into a group of Longbow and was amazed to see my little clockwork buddy dancing while he waited. The next spawn I jumped into, it looked like maybe he was using the plot emote, but couldn't quite tell since he's so small, and there were too many things left to punch to take carefull notice of it.
Is this behavior new to them, or have they always done this from the beginning and I was just too busy to notice it?
