Beastial/Robot Hybrid/DPS?

This is a really weird combination, but I was wondering if it's possible to make a powerset around this little guy:

I'm hoping to make him a sort of "mad science gone awry" character with the brain of a beast but the weaponry of a mechanical sentry. Any concepts?

    Are you looking for builds, or character concepts?

    Builds. I know I'd try to make some stupid combination of PA and Beastial in a way that doesn't synergize at all, so I'd love to have help with it.

    You could combine Bestial (or MA's FC) w/ non-slotted PA and some other Tech powers. Another general option is to throw in Sparkstorm's toggle and work around that, if it's fitting enough. Here's one example build (w/o Sparkstorm) that's more melee-focused:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Melee Damage)
    v3.45:38

    Super Stats
    Level 6: Dexterity (Primary)
    Level 10: Endurance (Secondary)
    Level 15: Constitution (Secondary)

    Talents
    Level 1: The Chiller (Dex: 10, Con: 10, Rec: 8, End: 10)
    Level 6: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)
    Level 9: Impresario (Dex: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 12: Accurate (Dex: 5, End: 5)
    Level 15: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 18: Boundless Reserves (Con: 5, End: 5)
    Level 21: Acrobat (Dex: 5, Con: 5)

    Powers
    Level 1: Power Bolts
    Level 1: Shred (Rank 2, Penetrating Strikes)
    Level 6: Wild Thing
    Level 8: Unstoppable (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 11: Form of the Tempest
    Level 14: Frenzy (Rank 2, Fear Sense)
    Level 17: Resurgence (Rank 2)
    Level 20: Massacre (Rank 2, Bloody Mess)
    Level 23: Energy Wave (Rank 2, Reverse Polarity)
    Level 26: Conviction (Rank 2, Rank 3)
    Level 29: Energy Shield (Rank 2)
    Level 32: Mini Mines (Stim Pack)
    Level 35: Lightning Strike (Nailed to the Ground)
    Level 38:
    Adv. Points: 32/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Dexterity: Combat Training (3/3)
    Dexterity: Gear Utilization (2/3)
    Dexterity: Deadly Aim (3/3)
    Dexterity: Expose Weakness (2/2)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (2/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (3/3)
    Brawler: The Glory of Battle (1/3)
    Brawler: Penetrating Strikes (2/2)
    Brawler: Ruthless (2/2)
    Brawler: Setup (2/2)
    Brawler: Flanking (3/3)
    Mastery: Dexterity Mastery (1/1)

    The last 1-2 powers can be w/e ya want.

    Alternates between Shred and Massacre for single-targets, and uses Frenzy as it's main AoE. EWave can also help you group up scattered mobs, and I threw in Mini Mines for another Tech power and another self-heal. Warden spec (w/ Slaughter and maybe its Mastery) can also work instead of Vindicator here. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and End.

    And if you want it to be a hybrid-dps then you can just switch to the Hybrid role and use Invuln or Regen as the passive instead.

    It takes a bit more time to reach full power but relentless is actually more energy friendly for Bestial than Wild Thing:
