No seriously where is he? He would be perfect for slicing, controlling terminals, unlocking doors and accessing unmanned turrets (we need some unmanned turrets to be sliced). Man would that be cool to be able to deploy unmanned turrets. I guess that’s for a different thread. I guess we have R2 for this and Junk Droids but Lobot would be awesome to have also. Also feel free to discuss the unmanned turret thing in this thread to.

Ok one idea for an unmanned turret would be that it is a priority target “if in your line of sight you must attack the unmanned turret” this could take the heat and focus off of the one that deployed it making the enemy have to deal with it instead of attacking you. And if deployed by Lobot’s enemy he could slice it to make it a friendly turret.

Lobot could close doors as an action in skirmish instead of once open always open. This could force the enemy to use a precious action to reopen the door instead of using it for an attack. Ok I will shut up for now and leave it to you all to discuss.

i can't see unmanned turrest working any differently than Junk droids, except they just wouldn't move. There's nothing in the theme of Lobot that would suggest he'd bring turrets into the game. Though it would be nice to have him if his abilities could be distinct from what R2 does.

He could perhaps deal strain to people around terminals

Ok now I need to go do a Lobot in the Homebrew characters thread.

Ok I designed a Lobot.

Lobot is a non-combatant and not terribly interesting. He's really just a combination of R2 and C3-PO. You could really just slap C3-PO on the board painted flesh color, use C3-PO's deployment card and call him Lobot.

But he has those dope beats by dre headphones!

I can't believe the lack of love for Lobot on here!

A human CP-3O? Come on the guy use to be a battle tactician for the empire, he has to have some use.

If Lando was french, he would refer/introduce Lobot as "Lobot Ami"

I'm not sure there was anything left of Lobot after the purge. He's just another unnamed extra now.

He was in the Lando Comic if I recall my previews. The new comics ARE canon.

I like Lobot, maybe we will see him on the next wave of Bespin (at some pt theyll have to revisit content). Also, I think hed be more beneficial as a Protector but cancels out the Surge instead of block damage. Or even Strain. He seemed to negate a ton of stuff for Lando...

The Lando comic was fantastic, and Lobot was a really big part of it. Highly recommend reading that one. And yes, they're canon.

I think this Bespin wave was our best shot at getting Lobot. it's just hard for me to see a release schedule that allows for revisiting Bespin any further. I feel like you would need a few other figures to release along side him, but in this case we will already have cloud city guards, Lando and Ugnaughts. Not much left to pull from on a Bespin revisit.

Could a single figure, similar to the rebel smuggler, not be viable?

I think he would definitely be viable, and the players would welcome him

The Bantha came after Twin Shadows, so let's hope for Lobot after Bespin.
