Between these and Scapey's check of the Fantastic Adventures wave, I now know why I have 50+ threads bumped in my User CP.

bump.

It will be interesting to see if the competitive players will dig these guys to help bust up pods, especially those with the likes of Mastermind. Their Weaponized Virus doesn't require clear sight of a figure, so they can just choose a space the figure is on or adjacent to be affected.

I would think they could also help against Jocasta since they have an attack of 3 and if you get 3 Agents to attack a figure Jocasta is taking wounds for, who cares if you lose 3 Agents if it ends up putting 3+ wounds on Jocasta? You can lose 2 squads of Agents this way for 140 points to take down a 180 point (currently ) figure.

Also, their Environmental Suit forces the attacker to subtract 2 from their d20 power against them, so that can help vs. Brainiac.

Definitely useful! There are a few nice area attack figures not requiring clear sight that can do good stuff currently (Harley Quinn with her bomb, Human Torch with Supernova, Cyclops with his Optic Blast), etc. The nice thing for squaddies, like the AIM Agents, though, is that Puppet Master can't String Pull them!

No issues.

These guys are pretty neat, with both abilities giving that gassy vibe. Just don't try pulling their finger. I fell for it, and I was out for a week.

Cool. I would like them more if Undead were immune to their SA. Even death is no protection from A.I.M.

Very nice work on this one. Fun pod busters.

Your body still deteriorates if you're dead.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, there's a decent number of pod-busting options out there now (and more to come).

23 December 2015 - A.I.M. Agents - Removed space adjacency wording for clarity

Hello,
I have 2 questions for the special attack if I have 3 squads of these guys and if I reveal the Order Marker 1 and move 3 guys from the squads do I have to use the Special Attack with one of the 3 moved guys or can I use it with one A.I.M. agent that I didn't move this turn ?
For the defense height bonus VS Weaponized Virus, should I consider the lowest Agent from all of my squads or only the lowest from the moved agents ?

[Tornado]

'you may choose a space within 3 spaces of one or more A.I.M. Agents you control.'(regardless if they moved or not)

'Roll X attack dice once for all affected figures, where X equals the number of unengaged A.I.M. Agents you control within 3 spaces of the chosen space.'
(the big part there is 'unengaged')

For defense it says:
'The defending figure compares height to the lowest A.I.M. Agent to determine height advantage.'
