Cloaking Device has a brief colored flash when activated. Nothing much, but it's there.
As for the rest, it's running afoul of Pet Customization. The Drones and Bombs are effectively pets. Pet Customization was pulled before test because it didn't work right. The color tinting would cover the entire pet. It works for Fire Imps, less so for Bots and Zombies. It appears the left the interface in for down the road when Pet Customization is properly implemented.
The plastic tips at the end of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
--The Question, JLU
I can't wait until we can color the PPP and EPP moves, not to metion the VEAT moves, not sure about the Khelds, don't have one yet.
Well, at least I know what I'm altering on the Auto Turret - the muzzle flash colour. I had mine set to green and yellow, and when I finally got it, it does very much fire with a green muzzle flash. Be nice if we could see that.

OK, I know the Power Customization UI isn't always the most intuitive thing, but this is just getting absurd. Customizing Devices is one part taste to two parts precognition, because seemingly half the things I'm changing don't even show up on the the UI. So, rather than barking at my monitor, I wanted to see if you kind people could help me understand what the Funk & Wagnalls I'm actually changing here.
Right, some of the power are actually quite evident. Web Grenade, Caltrops, Smoke Grenade, Taser, those are all good, but the rest... Well, point for point:
Targeting Drone: OK, the UI gives me two colours to change, but from what I'm seeing, only the first one matters. It changes the colour of the laser beams that don't seem to do anything. What does the other colour change?
Cloaking Device: This one gives me two colours, as well, but I'm only seeing the primary that I chose show up as stars over my transparent body. What does the other one do? And why is my character not transparent on the power customization UI?
Trip Mine: This is where things get interesting. Like Targeting Drone, I can change two colours, but apparently only the first one does anything, in that it changes the colour of the beams. Except when I actually used the mine, it turned out that it does more than that. I wanted to make my laser beams green and yellow, so that's what I picked, but when the mine blew up, it didn't blow up with fire. It blew up green and yellow. Huh? I didn't know I was changing the explosion at all! Is there any way to make the explosion a different colour to the beams? I like the green beams, but I'm not sure I like the green fire.
Time Bomb: Similar problem, but it seems even more pronounced. I made Time Bomb green and yellow, too, and it blew up green and yellow. But in addition to that, the little beeping light was also flashing green and yellow. Does that mean that my bombs and mines have to blow up the same colour that they flash? That's a bit... Not very good.
Auto Turret: This one just confounds me. The UI gives me a colour tintable option, but changing the colours changes NOTHING, at least nothing on the Power Customization UI. Turret comes down, flies with the same old blue flames, it has the same old blue-ish paintjob... Same old, same old. What did I change? I've no idea, and I can't even try yet. What, do I change its muzzle flash colour? Do I change the colour it blows up with? What am I changing here?
I went into this trying to change my "materials" to a cyan-ish colour and my "energies" to a greenish fire, but it doesn't seem to have gone over how I thought it would.
