You could use the tailor to see what they look like. In the power customization all Lore pets are selectable.

Thanks DarkGob, I reckon I could go with them, they suit the concept for my Science Tankers just fine.

@Tornak, I have yet to unlock the lore slot.
and I probably wouldn't have thought of the tailor anyway, so thanks for the suggestion there!

Note that they're absolutely tiny. Gob's picture makes it look fairly big because it's zoomed in on it, but in-game it's like, the size of your toon's hand.

That kinda broke the deal for me, but hey, I'm pretty sure there's people who're cool with or even like tiny Lore pets, so Robotic Drones ( and Polar Lights) are cool for those.

Thanks for the warning on that, I kinda thought they'd be small, but for this character smaller is better my two science tanks whom I want this power on are massive and they wear utility bets for their temporary powers, so these drones will fit in the belt perfectly to be thrown out at a moments notice.

Just need to unlock the lore slots now...

I took them on one of my blasters. As stated they are small (you quickly lose sight of them in any battle). They work well and I am happy with them.

I am at Partial Core Improved Ally right now (Assault & Shield Drones). The assault drone puts out very good damage and the shield drone is a good buffer to have around.

Just wish they would be out more then not; 5 on 10 off makes them hard to rely on.

i like lore pets because they are cool, but i hate them for the massive downtimes, especially if they die or you die which just further increases downtime

i personally believe the entire radial line of lore pets needs to be perma (everything even the bosses in the tier 4), the stuff in the core line is a lot more powerful and should prolly have a little downtime, but 5 minutes downtime is really pushing it for me in terms of being "fun"

I took them on a couple of tech characters for the same reason. Their small size makes it easy to imagine them floating out of a small compartment somewhere in the character's power armor.

Late reply is late, but here's some pictures, if you still wanna see em.

Mine are T4, Assault Drone and Laser Drone. Picture of some of their blast and cone attack (the blue plasma cloud.)

Yeah I took them on my Thugs/Traps MM. I wanted less obtrusive extra pets, and I consider the drones to just be part of his 'Traps' arsenal.

OOOOH GOOD IDEA !!!! Thanks..

The hard things I can do--- The impossible just take a little bit longer.

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-
