I like a lot of the features of the build. It's a leveling IO build is how I would describe it. Obtaining the 4 Pet and RIPet auras would be something I would try to fit in.
The Good: O2 Boost slotting, lightning storm, charged armor, electrifying fences, leadership slotting 
The Strange: Two slots in hover isn't strange, but slotting for -recharge is.
The Bad: Freezing Rain needs maximum -recharge. It's a huge debuff, it has damage mitigation in the knockdown and fear component; Hurricane needs ~50% tohit debuff enhancement. Hurricane isn't as strong as the defender version. I know the stated goal is to maximize the mastermind's defense; however in tornado you have 3 IO enhancements for accuracy that are flat out wasted. Tornado is auto hit. You really should put the other recharge intensive pet IO aura in tornado to set up for more durability in the pets, and therefore, the mastermind. Snow Storm: between snow storm and freezing rain, your foes will be at the slow cap/floor. Damage and accuracy are meaningless in snow storm, but endurance cost reduction trumps all (17% is not going to cut it).
The Ugly: Protector Bots do defend, they do tohit debuff, but I am fully behind the fact they are damage dealers just as effectively. In my opinion, 2 protector bots do as much damage as 3 battle drones. In light of the defense theme, I would ditch all the tohit debuff and one of the defense enhancements. 2 Generic defenses with 2 Acc/dmg and 2 Acc/dmg/end IO of your favorite inexpensive sets are geared to your goals without gimping the Protobots.
I would try to get a slot of -kb steadfast protection in steamy in an additional slot. I would also try to slot a winter's gift slow protection in fly.
Triumphant Defenders Forever
Psylenz FF/Psi, ArticQuark Storm/Rad, Symon BarSisyphus Bots/psn, Max VanSydow Thugs/Dk, Cyclone Symon Bots/stm, Blue Loki Ice/Cd, Widow 46526
HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

Was trying to go for some endurance set bonuses. Found a better match in Gift'Ancients: Def & Gift'Ancients: Def/Rch. Thanks for pointing that out.|

I was hoping I could get some feedback on my Bots/Storm build.. It's softcapped Ranged/Melee/AoE, but I have a tendency to gimp some of my powers' slots when looking to softcap, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing that this time.
I'm looking to solo mostly, but wouldn't mind teaming every now and then, as well. Still not sure if I'm gonna go incarnate with this character--maybe just the Alpha slot. Thanks!
