Wow - Replication is out there! It's interesting, because I'm thinking that Separatists isn't necessarily the default faction if you want to run three IG-88s together, since there aren't that many commander effects that help out Uniques. So they might be better in, for instance, New Republic where they can access Dodonna and Disruptive. I'm just guessing though....

My thoughts are centered around the cost of having more then one IG-88 in your squad. This IG-88A is already 48 himself. Add in Assassin Droid or Bounty Hunter and you are at 91-92 cost for just the two already. If you wanted all three, you're looking at 135. Because of that, Sep is probably out of the question. You could run GGDAC or GGSJ, but the cost is at 144/145 or 155/156 (respectively) for just 3 pieces. Otherwise, Whorm is worthless because IG-88A gives the same Twin and there aren't many other Sep CEs that would help them out much for a worthwhile cost. And actually, because of the high cost of the previous pieces, I think we will probably see cheaper IG-88s showing up in this, or the next, set as well. (Maybe a remake of the original, but IG-88B/C/D would be more likely IMO) The ones we have are just too cost prohibitive to take full advantage of Replication, so I would put money on at least B or a remake showing up.

True but they are powerful. I'm sure they concidered that and may even have thought that the cost itself may just be the heel to this epic ability.  2 IG's and plenty of other toys hmmm

Well by playing 88 assassin and A you have a character that does 120 and one doing 60 respectively. With just some tech and support they fit just about anywhere. They also have shields 1 so they aren't getting 1 shotted by a piece that does 120.

Would Atris +4 affect droids? That could be an interesting build beefing up their attack.

This is actually missing something: IG-88A also has the "Assassin" special ability, so he attacks at +17 for 30 damage against living enemies.

48 IG-88A
43 IG-88, Assassin Droid
41 Atris
44 IG-88 Bounty Hunter
6 Ugnaught Demolitionist x2
Leaves 18 points to add activations
with the +4 from atris makes 88a +21 for 60 a turn
88AD and 88BH maxed out at +23 for 120 a turn each (opp, bh, atris)
Thats 300 a turn between the 3, add a bunch of low point activations to make sure you get oppurtunist at the end of the round and with Shields 1 they stick for a while.

So excited by the official pronouncement of the wika-wika-Squib Trader (not sure why, but I chose to break that down...), I loped the head off a Nelvaan Warrior and stuck in on a Snivvian Fringer... voila! wika-wika-Squib Trader!

I'd rather put HK-47, Assassin Droid in there instead of Atris. That way you have another solid attacker, good defense and Disruptive. Atris is kinda useless since she has to sit out of harms way to be effective, and your attack is already really high with all the IG-88's. My squad I made is as follows: Meatbag Annihilators Hk-47, Assassin Droid IG-88A IG-88, Bounty Hunter IG-88, Assassin Droid Mouse Droid x4 Uggie Demo x2 R7 droid 200pts, 11 acts.
It makes a lot more sense now that IG-88A has Assassin. Its damage output seemed really low for its cost.
