Boba Fearlessness + Autoblaster = maybe 4 unblockable hits.

I've never seen a list that makes Autoblaster actually worth it - but this is intriguing. You've got high PS to boost into range, a free evade, Boba's rerolls and Glitterstim to back it up. And you've got your typical Brobot flying wingman. I'd suspect whether this is actually worth it is gonna depend on the meta. X7s and some aces are gonna have a rough time, but Dengar and Soontir can dodge the shot and low agility just doesn't care. I might actually go for a higher bid just because PS 8 is pretty common for aces right now and without one it's gonna be impossible to catch them in the Autoblaster. (Not entirely sure what to cut though). Let me know how this goes, definitely an interesting idea.

I've tried this list out to very little success. The issue was that the Mangler robot just wasn't carrying it's weight leaving Bob a to get taken down pretty easily. My advice would be drop the AB on Bob a and upgrade the b robot to an adv. Sensors PTL variant with a HLC instead

Just got in two wins with this list last night at league.

First match was against Party Bus Bossk + Torp Scout + Missle Z. Neither of my ships died. But were over half damage.

Second match was against Palp Shuttle + x7 Vessery + x7 Marak. Lost IG-88 in this match. Boba Survived with 5 hull left.

The Fearlessness + Autoblaster combo was BRUTAL. I got it to trigger 2 or 3 times in the first match and 3 or 4 times in the second match.
