My experience with both of these powersets is fairly limited so I have been poking around here for ideas on both and came up with this, feel free to pick it apart with your words of wisdom!

Rivetgun - lvl 50 MA/Willpower Scrapper
Terrance Morganstern - lvl 50 Invuln/SS Tanker
Geiger Fist - lvl 50 Rad/Energy Blaster
Mephetic - lvl 50 Spines/ Fire Scrapper
Engelbrecher - lvl 50 Thugs/Pain Mastermind

Basically used my Robot Traps and changed it to Beast.

I removed Soul Mastery powers in place I added the attack powers needed to get those fortify pack stacks. I guess its a big deal for the set and the pets.

Just put them side by side and make your comparisons.
