Faulty Clone: Electric Control?

Sorry if this seems out of place; I had no idea where to post it.

I was running along Dean MacArthur's arc this afternoon, and got to the final mission, where your faulty clone is assigned random powersets from the mission architect system. Mine got Electric Control. Now, I thought this a little odd in itself as we don't have access to it in AE yet, but I was more suprised when he summoned his gremlins.


They were white, which is a little different from the default purple. Is this a potential leak of power customisation in AE? Being worked on, but found it's current state shipped off with the i19 pre-download? Or is this something else entirely?

When I did that mission on my Widow one of my clones had elec control with the gremlins and another had Robotics MM set and summoned 2 drones and a protector bot (Level 12-17 summon amounts, at over 20) and one had SS I believe.

I don't think it likes cloning people...

The clone's supposed to have different powersets. The question asked was why the Gremlins were white.

Hm... looks like faulty clones can customize their powers too.

the "faulty clone" in that mish is basically a doppelganger with the randompowers setting

so the powers it has can be random (some of the oddest combos ive seen are a peacebringer/martial arts clone lol)

Either it IS a Power Customization in AE leak or simply a glitch. I HOPE that we get Power Customization in AE soon, but the fact that it did not happen to you in AE leads me to believe that it is possibly a glitch.

It looks like a glitch to me. We know for a fact that Architect critters very much DO NOT use copies of our powers, but rather their own powers that happen to work and sometimes act like our powers. If Electric Control is not available in the Architect, it's likely because it doesn't have a complete set of powers, or its powers are not all finished. As such, it's not hard to imagine why Gremlins would be white if they weren't taking the correct tint, or had not been given one yet.

Of course, that's all guessing.

My guess is that since Electric Control was implemented after power customization, they didn't bother making any FX for the powers with baked-in colors like most other sets have. So when the FX are called without any color data, it defaults to white.
