[Scum] ZYYBus: Is this list real?

One of my friends is trying to win a last chance qualifier tournament and his skill level is pretty middle of the road (he's new-ish). We wanted to give him a list that wasn't super complicated and had a chance to win, so my other friend proposed Quad TLTs, which got me thinking, is it still right to Quad TLT now that a Party Bus exists?

Black Sun Soldier (13)
Syndicate Thug (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
R4 Agromech (2)
Syndicate Thug (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
R4 Agromech (2)
Trandoshan Slaver (29)
Dengar (3)
Zuckuss (1)
4-LOM (1)
Inertial Dampeners (1)
Total: 100
So like, the weakness of Quad TLTs was autothrusters, but the Party Bus can push damage against most things with Autothrusters, right? Same amount of HP as Quad TLTs. Also, isn't R4 Agromech better than Unhinged? We only used Unhinged before so we could cram 4 TLT Y-Wings to a list, right? But with the extra points, isn't the free target lock each round better than access to 3-hard turns?
Let me know what your thoughts are. Your input is appreciated.

I would do a regular binayre pirate with slicer tools, for ace protection.

I was actually thinking about pulling the ID and putting a Scyk there. The Scyk is a 13pt ship that's 1pt over costed, but it might make it easier for my buddy to just pay the 1pt tax then move all his ships at the same PS. I figure the Scyk can work speed control for the Party Bus, to let it bump and take hard stops, even when it's stressed from Zuckuss.

This.

Other than that I think this list is set, should be fairly straight forward and decent.

I think either of those changes (BMST, Scyk) could be good, and preferable to the OP list. With either change, the list looks super awesome and I may have to give it a try sometime!
