I'd say either a Bots/Traps (or bots/dark) MM, Ill/cold controller, or a mind/fire dominator.
I know of a Shield Defense scrapper that's solo'd an MoITF, so maybe that would work on the others too.
Where to now?
Check out all my guides and fiction pieces on my blog.

don'T attempt to read tHis mEssaGe, And believe Me, it is not a codE.
You'd want an early-blooming build that can beat AVs, since you'd face your first at levels 11-16 with Dr. Vahzilok, then Clockwork King at 15-20. It sort of depends what you count as 'every TF along the way,' though. Including the STF probably bumps the requirements up a lot.
Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

If so, what AT/powerset would be ideal? Not that I want to undertake such a task, I'm just curious if it has/can be done. |

You could have three others merely log off, and ask them to log back on to click the glowies once all is dead. I doubt anyone would claim it wasn't soloed based on that.|

Of course if someone were that... OCD about soloing, it could be possible to get a GM to assist once you came upon one of those. (after explaining a similar situation to GM_Roland many years ago, he and another GM assisted my friend and I in duoing the Dr Quarterfield TF by clicking the glowies with us once we cleared everything)

I was including the STF, and that is what caused me to wonder if it is possible. Can the towers that buff Recluse be taken down solo without him killing you first?

Okay first of all only the Faathim the Kind Task Force and Dr. Quaterfield Task Force requires anyone to click multiple glowies.
Sara Moore Task Force , Justin Augustine Task Force Have no such requirements. Now lets get back to Faathim and the suggestion of having 3 friends help you. These better be REALLY good friends and ones you can call on the phone every 10-15 minutes or so because if you look through the missions involved no less than 6 different missions in that TF require that 4 glowies be clicked at the same time. Sorry but I really don't see that working out to well
Doc Q has 1 mission that requires 4 computers be shut off at one time .. that one your strategy might work on but with almost a third of the total missions requiring 4 players I DOUBT you will find a GM willing to keep coming back to help you again and again and again. They did you a favor back then and they are good for that sort of thing but their JOB is to asssits players that have run into bugs that prevent them from playing the game and completing missions. I decided to run a TF that is supposed to require 8 players by myself and now I need help six different times to complete missions ..is not a BUG it's a player being a PAIN in the ... "Oh my did she say that?" LOL
