Back when I was inventing an arc for one of my main characters, my plan was to use his actual robotic minions as level bosses. The three battle drones would be LT Class and pop up to harrass you from time to time. The Protector bots would be Boss level and fight as a pair at the end of a level. And then the Assault Bot would be an Elite Boss before the finale, which would have the main guy as an AV, and the other pets as the aforementioned levels.
Sadly, I can't do that. Instead he's an utter pushoever, even as an AV, because the Pets scale badly and he can't even use Traps because it isnt in AE. So that arc got scrapped a while back...

This would be awesome indeed! It'd be nice to have "generic" factions people can use as opposed to building customs from scratch that eat up the file size. /signed

Hmmm, yes, perhaps there should also be some examples of say, a more upgraded first tier pet appear as higher tiered enemies too. I like the idea of special versions of the Third tier pets that could be made to con as elite bosses particularly.|

(To be honest, and going a little off subject, it'd be nice if we could get special EB and AV versions of various generic bosses in the standard groups. Because not all special nightwidows are Night Widow Nocturne)

...I believe you already can use MM Pets in specific instances (I think I used one as an ally before)
But not all, and I dunno why.
You can use the mastermind third-tier pets as bosses, if memory served. They should be under Pets or somesuch. At least, Assault Bot and Lich. Unless they changed it from when it first came out or something.
IIRC, you can use the pets for almost anything but putting them in enemy groups.
So, here goes a random, mild suggestion: How about making a standard enemy faction for AE consisting of specially done versions of the Master Mind AT's Henchmen.
As of now, we can have them as allies or special bosses, but why not full on mini-factions of their own? (Actually, there's probably a good reason for this involving the fact that they are their own enemy classification, rather than minions, lieutenant, and boss)
But on the note of balance, one thought would be something like:
levels 1-11: they have the basic powers of the henchman, as well as the basic look.
levels 12-29: They have their first upgrade.
levels 30-up: They have their second upgrade.
anyway though, just an odd and vague suggestion.
