Actually this is very useful. Think about it, Tinman has Technical which
allows him to bybass the most irritating common objective - maglocks. He can
pump himself larger to kill all those had to kill challenges including
Guardian Dracoform. Only a very few objectives stop him (Incubus, Elite Sec
Mage, Barney Phyffe) and only Incubus gets rid of him permanently.... (1st
run)
