/macro Cos2 "powexecname fly$$cc 1"
This will work for the cc (costume change) slash command. However, if the Honoroit wants to use the CCE (costume change emote) slash command, it depends on what power is associated with CCE. Some powers won't let the costume change emote activate, or other powers will be interrupted by the emote.
Using the example of Biostem, the following macro 2won't work properly:
/macro Cos2 "powexecname fly$$cce 1 cclightning"
The costume change emote will be cancelled by the fly power activating. I believe you will change costumes, but not have the lightning emote activate.
Using the CCE slash command with turning off a toggle power usually has no issues (fly and hover are two exceptions, i think).

I went through the Citadel TF with a PUG recently, and I remembered how mind-dullingly repetitive it is. If the devs are looking to remaster a classic task force, this is the task force to redo. It's just the same map and mobs over and over. This isn't to say the Manticore or Numina TFs are perfect, far from it. I just find the Citadel TF is the most lumbersome.
I put together a list of things I thought could improve the Citadel TF. They are in the spoiler section below.
SpoilerThe story
The plot, in of itself, isn't bad; it's just trapped in a time-capsule of the first few issues of CoH. The Zenith Mech Men are hardly "new" now, but I like the idea of the council using Citadel's stolen technology to upgrade their robots. I think the story should reference more of what is happening in Paragon City, and especially in Striga Island.
The maps
There weren't a lot of maps when CoH started. I'm sure the original devs wanted to show off the council tunnel maps. I can see most of the maps using the council tunnels, but we need some variety, particularly on the final mission.
The hunt
In the middle of the taskforce, you need to defeat 40 council agents in Independence Port. The problem is, most of the mobs you find are gray and won't provide any XP, it's just a time sink. I suggest replacing it either with a small outdoor mission map, or a mission map with different mobs (like an abandoned council base taken over by the Freakshow).
Bulwark
The first Elite Boss of the task force, and it's just a Zenith Warcry. I think it would be cool if Bulwark had some similarity to Citadel, maybe even be an evil twin! dum dum! It would be the prototype that you would have to destroy to avoid more of these upgraded robots.
Vandal
The task force's big bad. When you encounter him, he just seems to be hanging out with his council buddies. I think the final encounter should have a bigger impact. Imagine Vandal arguing with Archon Burkholder (who slips away before the heroes arrive) as to which one has a better robotics project. Or maybe Vandal is researching the Well of Furies, or maybe it was all a Nemesis plot.

Just to be clear, you have to do this patron storyline for every character you want access to the patron power pools. If you complete the missions with your stalker, your brute still won't have access to the pools until the brute completes the missions.
Unlocks per character, not per account.

If I am wrong, I suggest checking out TSpy's discord and compare. The transparency and feedback is there.
What a transparent shill.

Anything with Dark Armor that is not Dark Melee you NEED that end recovery power
I leveled up a Dark/Ice tanker solo. I love this build. You want a controller/tanker? This is it!
The end management was delicate at low levels, but by level 32 it was no longer an issue. You can't have all the toggles on, but you can have enough to control the battlefield while bashing heads.

I was reminiscing last night about how my low-level characters used to get rich before issue 11.
I would curate my contacts carefully to get one of three contacts between levels 10 to 14. One of these contacts would give me the "rescue the fortune teller" mission. I would broadcast I had the Atlas Mediallion mission, and invite level 50s to do the mission.
After the mission, I would ask for tips. I made millions.

You can't call a different model but I think you can replace the costume pieces. But it would replace them everywhere in-game where the original pieces exist, not just on your pets.It would also be strictly local. On your PC, you might see police officers, but all the other players on the server still see mercenaries.

As for which character. I`ll be using.. TBD. I have a level 50 controller ready to go, but there might be a lower level controller or domininator that needs some attention.

My apologies. I went to do a 20 minute job, and it took four hours. I hope to join another themed TF in the future.

Are you thinking perhaps of the Crey CBX-9 Pistol?
To get it, you need the doctor's ally badge, defeat 200 paragon protectors, ans a few location badges.
