PPD/Longbow playable ATs?

I believe that the addition of these two ATs would make gameplay incredibly fun! In a lot of ways they would be similar to the addition of widows/soldier! I personally feel it would be a HUGE boost to the game and im sure there are many many other people who feel the same!
thoughts?

There's nothing that Longbow gets that players don't already. They don't even really use impossible combinations like the ones that are often assigned to imperfect clones.

The PPD only get unique stuff with their hardsuits/mech troops; and if you want that, why not suggest a mech/exoskeleton AT rather than specifically PPD?

If they ever come up with a PPD AT, they should introduce the Blue Shield Task Force. Except instead of sending a team of you on it, he sends a team of you to watch him solo it himself.

Wild Streak - Lv. 50(+3) Beast Mastery/Sonic Resonance Mastermind, Amnesty - Lv. 50 Staff Fighting/Dark Armor Stalker

While we don't have a power called Sonic Grenade, it's a clone of Disruption Arrow. And a Corruptor can certainly have the frankengun (or a better-looking one) plus Disruption.

Sure, you're not firing a grenade, but the grenade animation is nothing special.

PPD Cop: Pistol blaster or Defender or War Mace Tank (since they only have three attacks, including Brawl, there's a lot of freedom here)
PPD Detective: Assault Rifle blaster or defender (again, only one attack plus brawl)
SWAT Officer: AR blaster or defender or (for the melee rifle attacks) Huntsman style Arachnos Soldier.
PPD Ghost: AR/Devices blaster
SWAT Equalizer: Traps/AR defender or AR/Dev blaster
SWAT Sergeant: AR blaster or defender with leadership toggles, or Arachnos Soldier

Psi-Division: Psi/Mental blaster or Empath/Psi defender or any AT with heavy psi abilities

Awakened Division: Peacebringers. Warshades if you want to RP something a bit different from normal.

Powered Armor Division: The Enforcer costume set was created to give us something similar-ish to these guys, since their costume parts don't work with the standard costume creator. Energy/Energy blaster and Energy Melee tanks seem the best fit. Even better if you have the PPD Hardsuit costume code from one of the cons or Meet 'n Greets.

Drones: Not really duplicatable as a PC, not even the robot-style ones.

Most longbow are AR blasters.
Bosses include:
Assault Rifle blaster with Leadership
Spines/Regen scrapper
Invuln/SS tank
Empath/Psi defender
Energy/Energy blaster
Storm/Electric defender
Sonic/Sonic defender
Rad/Rad defender
Illusion/Force Field controller
Gravity/? controller
Martial Arts/?/Weapon Mastery scrapper
Ice/? blaster

EBs/AVs include:
Everything from Bosses
A warshade
Ballistae: FF/energy defenders
Crimson and Indigo: MA and BS scrappers with stealth, or possibly stalkers
And more

Neither of the two groups really need an AT directly aimed at them, since they can be copied so easily with what we already have in game. All we're really missing are the leg straps and Warden hats for Longbow, and suspenders and bad Hawiian shirts for PPD.

My own PB (whose backstory has him doing the PPD-thing before taking up "free-lance Heroics") still really, really wants that sash the Awakened all wear as a costume piece, too.

As I've said before, you can bring a Wolf Spider over to hero side, and he will make a pretty respectable Longbow, with the proper costume. The Venom Grenade isn't graphically like the Sonic Grenade, but it has the same -Res debuff effect. And you can pick up Cloaking Device to be a Longbow Spec Ops.

It would also be easy enough to play a Kheldian as a PPD Awakened.

OK, how about being a bit more specific? What does either group have that warrants a new Archetype? What exists in either one that can't be done with existing classes?

You can make a general PPD Cop with the nightstick in War Mace coupled with Willpower or Shield Defense (With a riot shield) coupled with the Revolver Temp Power.
