Rather than on the general concept.
Castle looked at unresistable damage a while back in stalker assassins strike. It even got as far as the test server, before being pulled.
Based on his comments at that time, unresistable damage is unlikely ever to come to PVE. Mob resistance is used too much as a balance factor in fights.
As an example, take a 99% resistant foe.
The unresistable damage will be doing 100 times more than a normal attack of similar scale, against an unresistant foe it will be doing the same.
Balce it for the latter, and its overpowered in the former. Balance the other way round and its a poor attack against anything but the toughest AVs.
Its also probably going to have funky effects with certain foes who hit 100%+ resistance to certain damage types.

Perhaps unresistable damage was a lil over board maybe ignores so a percentage of damage resistance, but please toss ideas and critiques forward. Maybe i can hone this idea into something palatable. When Heroes gone Rogue comes out it would be nice to distinguish some ATs with similar heroic/villainous counterparts from each other at epic levels (tanks/brutes, defenders/corruptors etc) by no means are my suggestions perfect but I imagine with the combined creativity of the devs and the player base something awesome could come out of this idea.
Maybe a simple boost or additional effect given to the inherents once the player reaches epic level.
Also I love giant robots so the robot mastermind pets combine idea would make me very happy
I love this idea, but the only problem is that alot of tier-9's were designed with a sense of finality, and I have enough trouble picking powers after lvl 30.
