Yes, except the unique ability states “Whenever BT-1 defeats an enemy…” he gets a bonus turn. It doesn’t specify how he defeats the enemy.

And technically Haywire isn’t killing the enemy; it’s triggering the expose, which is killing the enemy.

To me it’s a grey area that doesn’t necessarily need a fix - devs just need to figure out if it lines up with their intentions when creating the unit, or ignore it. There is a possibility that Haywire could kill an ally if it triggers effects like expose on them as well.
