I'm also in the business of giving Magmatrooper a chance. I think he could very well fit in Arena if he allows me to break a speedier opponent's attack like:
St. Han taunts, EP stuns most of my team, others do some damage, Phasma gives everyone their second turn, EP distributes some shock, others give some more damage, EP goes again, I finally get my first attack with whoever is still alive.
If I can insert somewhere early in the sequence "Magmatrooper resists the stun, gets 50% TM, throws his bomb, resets opponents' TMs and allow some of my toons to take their first turn before being dead", then it's a winner, however much little use (especially abysmal damage with no other benefit on his basic) he is after that.
I'm currently trying him in GW, with tenacity mods (alas, he needs both tenacity and potency!), but he's really not a well designed toon: both low potency and tenacity from his gear, requires monstrously expensive gear with little benefits (e.g. heaps of Holo Projectors), maybe the lowest damage from the game...
He looks cool though.
