In your post, replace "Thermal Detonators" with "characters other than Rebels". Then you have a pretty accurate reflection on the current state of the game. I'll start you off....
As the game mechanics stand right now, characters other than Rebels do not offer a truly viable and competitive game play mechanic. They take way too long to set up, and squad synergies around characters other than Rebels are not up to par with other squads (see Resistance squad synergy). I love playing the resistance squad not only because I can do very well with them, but the strategy of having to control TM by choosing who I have to attack is brilliant, and I think characters other than Rebels can see a similar viable strategy put in place. While I feel that characters other than Rebels synergy would only help to improve upon what I'm going to propose, I'm going to avoid altering abilities/synergies/leadership roles to see if there is any positive response.
Characters other than Rebels are a potentially fantastic gameplay mechanic, but currently are just too easy to ignore.
