I want something like this:
POWER OF THE DARK SIDE. Skirmish attachment. Darth vader (lord of the sith) only. Cost 0
Remove "force choke" and replace for: once during your activation you may choose an hostile figure in your line of sight. That figure must suffer 2¤ and 1√. If the figure suffered 3¤, you can push that figure 1 space.
After a ranged attack targeting to you is resolved, if you are not defeated, you can move up to 2 space or deal 2¤ to the attacker.

But yeah, 9/10, building around a signle figure is a bad idea, and something that shouldn't be necessary.
I watched a bit of the video, and the part where the AT-ST gets attacked by the HK and he uses double surge for blast, it only affects the units around the targeted space, not the entire figure.

Yes. If the target suffered damage from the attack, Blast affects figures other than the target of the attack on and adjacent to the target space .

They noted that in an annotation on the video.
Already played a couple games with the updated text. He's certainly worth his value, and the loss of recover makes him less swingy and evens him out. Now, with smart play, you can get good use if him in any game, instead if only ones where you get him almost dead and then recover him back to full.
Don't underestimate this. Play it. Might not be tier 1, but it's playable and competitive.
Just to confirm, this attachment would allow IG-88 to attack twice and move 2 in his activation? So he can shoot twice and hide. As I understand it you only use an action to buy movement points, so if you automatically have 2 per activation you never have to use an action buy MPs.

Correct, he is very strong with this attachment. You can also move to get within 3 spaces of an opponent which triggers relentless, and then guarantees accuracy if you select Red Red for the attack pool (he has auto +2, plus the green die from focus is min +1) - and perform two RRG attacks on a figure. Ouch!!

Thank, totalnoob. Now I am wondering how you might make a IG-88A, IG-88B, IG-88C, and IG-88D droid brotherhood squad (like they did with his IG-2000 ship in X-wing). 1 elite (A) and 3 basics (B,C,D) and they can pass actions to each other? Maybe beginning of each round you can decide which on gets this attachment?
I have never played a second of X-Wing and don't know anything about it, so I'm not 100% sure I understand what you are trying to do/comparing here - sorry.
In IA Skirmish you are only allowed to bring in one "copy" / deployment card of a named unique figure. So you can't have more than one IG-88 deployment card in your army. Although if you could, that would be a totally bad a$$ army
I am also fairly certain that most attachments in Skirmish are assigned at the beginning of the game and when the figure(s) in that deployment group are defeated that attachment is "defeated" along with it. Some attachments have a point value assigned to them (Prey on the Weak for example is 1 point), which is important because when the figure with the attachment is defeated, the opposing player scores the extra attachment point as well as the regular figure card cost. I also think you can only have one attachment on a deployment card in Skirmish, so you can't use IG-88's new Focus on the Kill and Prey on the Weak at the same time (which again would be really cool if you could!)

It is admittedly only a "half-baked" idea and would require alternate deployment cards since they wouldn't be unique.
In Star Wars canon there are 4 IG-88 assassin Droids. they are identical but one is the leader. The have a connection that would allow them to have synergy across the map.
Isn't that EU and not canon at all?
And one of them is the AI of the 2nd Death Star?

Maybe. Your probably right as it appears to come from a book in the 90s. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Therefore_I_Am:_The_Tale_of_IG-88
FFG did have the 4 IG-88s as pilots in x-wing, so they have recognized them before. I didn't really give this any thought before I mentioned it in this thread this morning. Now I am amusing myself imagining a small expansion that is a mini campaign pitting the 4 ig-88s against the imperials to assimilate with the second death star. Fits nicely with the 4 on 1 structure.
Maybe it could be fan created campaign like Heroes of the Aturi Cluster for x-wing.

Ahh, IG-88, the Ultron of Star Wars.

I guess we could speculate that Ultron and IG-88 are now cousins under the Disney banner
