The problem with using blastatrons to boost themselves is in the fact that they can only get the bonus when attacking a nonadjacent enemy. Couple that with the fact that you can only attack figures that you are engaged with when you are engaged.
The only way to be successful with this strategy using strictly blastatrons would be to have multiple squads of them and to shoot with the ones that are not engaged. If you are going to invest the points into it you might as well spend a few more and pick up some gladiatrons.
On the other hand, I do like to use them as fly swatters for Q9. Hold them a little further back from Q9 at a higher point. If Q9 gets swarmed you can take 4 3 dice attacks (1base+1height+1homing) at the angry mob leaving Q9s attacks to fire down range.
