Ok you Squad Brainiacs, what are your ideas concerning a good implementation of M9-G8?

I like Weapons Engineer Thane. Amazing with two ships.

Tarn Mison or Jess Pava (she has reroll due her ability and don't need TL, so may use it with droid).

Double Ts

Taem and Thane

For flexible TL repositioning in response to your opponents attacks, squeezing out maximum value out of the droid

Fly with a high ps that can use the reroll (like poe)

god i loved that old SW TCG

I have that card. I wonder if he'll ever get a Scum crew slot, I doubt it though.

I have the old long gold bo for the TCG/CCG and carry all my pilot cards and most of my upgrade cards in smaller deck boxes inside the long box.

For the last big tournament I played in I carried my cards for my Rebel squad in the old special Leia box from match to match.

As for M9G8 I'm thinking an ARC-170 with Weapon Engineer. Been using PTL, Shara Bey with BB* and Weapons Engineer, and she has done well so far.

So maybe something similar with M9G might work.

Or using Shara the way I use her and another ARC with M9G8 and wpns engineer, set up to add major offense for Shara and the other member(s) of the squad.

I actually liked the spoiler article idea of pairing it with a Stresshog. 3 attacks with 1 reroll each makes the Stresshog a decent offensive threat even with a mountain of stress.

I think this droid would pair up nicely with Dutch Vander.

I like Weapons Engineer Thane. Amazing with two ships.

This is my gut feel as well. Thane, Biggs, and 42 points of some buffed-out T70 probably. BB8 Poe probably.

42 points will be tlt homing missile miranda with extras and LRS

I get the Thane/Biggs combination, but to be honest, wouldn't mind trying Shara Bey.

Both can lock friends and provide 1-dice rerolls, but Shara can lock two enemies, interfere with both their shooting, and allow you to shoot one of them with rerolls, or can lock an enemy for one allies shots, and a friend to boost their shot (albeit by less). It seems to go a long way to making her ability actually useful (since you can't double-stack weapons engineer target locks).

I am liking the look of Tarn to carry M9-G8 and pair him with a high PS wingman (probably Poe in my usual lists). Turn 1, he TLs Poe on the approach. Next turn Poe gets to benefit from Predator (effectively) while Tarn can Focus. If anyone shoots Tarn, he can switch the TL to the attacking ship for defense. He really gets the best of both worlds with this droid.

I was thinking Thane/Biggs/Miranda actually. Maybe drop the Weapons Engineer and pop Sabine on Thane to confuse post-Biggs targetting priority.

Tailgunner is another nice idea if Weapons Engineer doesn't hold up and proves too much. FGD values it greatly for the easy to use Outmanouver effect that gives the two dice the ability to sting.
