why no love for robots??
ROBOTS
regular flavor
Steampunk (brass fitted with boilers and smokestacks, for you Nemesis wannabes out there,"
Humanoid (more like Asimov's robots, standing as tall as you, gunmetal golems with laser eyes
Clockwork style (diminuitive constructs that might as well be toys if not for the laser cannons.
Cyborgs/power armor (bulkier versons of the humanoids with exposed flesh in places)
Bankers (because they're the REAL robots...)

Hmmm.... they'd probably work for zombies and mercenaries too, but not ninjas. There is no way that a banker deserves to be thought of as a ninja.

I was thinking Lawyers could be added to undead, robots, and demon summoning.

You won't have heard of the Battle Lawyers, but they are very real. And very, very nasty.

I posted this on a thread in the MM section, but it seems more appropriate to discuss it here. I would like to see Masterminds be able to customize their pets the same way that scrappers customize their swords: by choosing them off of a list. Maybe there could even be unlock-able pet appearances, like there are unlockable weapons.
Some motiffs I'd really like to see:
Thugs:
Family - (Mobsters in suits)
Biker Chicks - (Something about tough women in black leather....)
Clowns - (Just seems so appropriate)
Bankers - (Cause they're the real criminals)
Zombies:
Ghost Pirates - (Who say "yar" all the time.)
Vahzilok-ish Creatures - (Maybe with their brains exposed in glass.)
Vampires - (Or other "sophisticated" undead)
Ninjas:
Yakuza - (With tatooes and stuff, like the Tsoo)
Wannabees - (Inner city kids in Karate outfits)
Japanese Mythology - (Tengu Goblins, ... stuff like that...)
Mercenaries:
Uniformed Henchmen - (Like in tights - it would be great)
Terrorists - (Maybe not specifically Islamic, though, so as not to offend anyone.)
"Storm Troopers" - (Like in Storm Trooper-esq body armor)
Since most of the henchmen's looks are something you can create in a costume editor, I think that what would be really awesome is if the devs would hold a contest, maybe it could an AE type of contest, where designers build modules containing their henchmen set, with enough alternate models for each type of henchman presented (and each stage of henchmen enhancement) so that the random diversification effect is possible using their set. Kind of like that project runway show my sister watches all the time.
