A Better ADVENT: War of the Chosen

Just a few questions and ideas
Hello, I'm a big fan of the ABA and can I say a few things? To begin with, Sectoid Puppeteer, my favorite type of sectoids. Will you bring it back?
And a few suggestion. What do you think about a new type of Andromedon - the Cryo Suit? Andromedon with a blue color instead a green and with freezing instead of acid spitting. This could be a great incarnation of Mr. Freeze, who already looks like this unit. Maybe, as a unique boss version?
Another idea, this is the ability of Andromedon costumes, as their reactivation after the pilot's death. How about using this ability for other mechanized units, such as MEСs? For example, create a unique MEC boss, capable of "resurrecting" other destroyed MEСs. Or give this ability to someone like an ADVENT engineer, maybe with kind a repair drone (SPARKs already have a repair ability).
Sincerely, your fan.

Hi, thanks for the input.

Yes, Puppeteers will be back. I am going to change them in some way, though. I want them to interact with the Lost in a special way, maybe directing them or something like that. Working on the details of the design, still nothing decided yet.

I am not sure the Andromedon needs any changes, to be honest. It's a very late game unit that appears rarely enough as it is. It also has a lot going on already. I am going to make an Andromedon Prime, but aside from that i will likely leave them alone.

In previous versions of ABA, the Tech Commando (a shieldbearer with Gremlin drone) already had the ability to repair mechanical units. If the Tech Commando returns, it's very likely that ability will stay with him.

Hi, thanks for the reply! It's really good that Puppeteers will return. But it's sad to hear that you don't plan a different version of Andromedon. As I said, the freeze would be ideal for this unit, especially since after the death of the Viper King, the ability of freezing is only available from XCOM. Please, can you think about this yet? You say that this is a unit of the late stage of the game that does not need other versions, but you do different versions of the Mutons and even of the Sectopod.
Indeed, I forgot about the Tech Commando. Do you plan on giving them an attacking protocol for a more unique engagement in combat? And yes, repair is good, but I offer something new - reactivation of the destroyed robot, based on the ability of Andromedon, a kind of emergency recovery. What do you think about it?
By the way, are you planning something for the ADVENT Priests? New units based on them, a kind of ADVENT's Psi Corps?
