I have quite a few squads of these and absolutely love their sculpts. Competitvely they just dont hold their weight for me though. I dont believe Ive ever done well with them. For their price they die pretty easily. I do want to love them though, I mean look at them, they are beautiful sculpts.

I use a 1 of squad just for clean up units really and grab spaces. For instance if on whatever map we are on the opponent chooses one way to go (maps typically have 2 or more ways "to go") and my units also go that way, but I'll send the gorillas the other way to flank or kill the enemy Marcu on the glyph on the opposite side of the map. For clean up they also do fairly well but they do need height to be effective, but the move helps with that. Other than those two things I don't really do much with them and I cannot see using anymore than 1 squad.
How I see it if I'm bringing the Nakitias I can bring a max of 1 squad of these guys otherwise it's a waste as their bonding is sub par as they themselves don't bond with anything and their only bonding is movement from the Nakitas. It's really just using the Nikatas to their full potential and Vydar has limited bonding besides tron.

I believe they do have an attack option bonding with C3V's Zaeus. Even with their bonding options with him or Nakitas they just don't usually make the grade. I generally place in the lower 50% of the tournament contestants when running them. Where'as on a normal day I'm in the higher 50% based on my strategy or skill or dumb luck. I love how they look, but there are a ton more viable options out there competitively. I feel the same thing about the Dzu Te and the Quasatch. I love their monkey like skulpts, but there are just many more options that are better to play with.
