Photonic Tactical Officer -- vanity Boff only ?

I have recently picked up the Lobi store "Photonic Tactical Officer Candidate" (it was one of those items to get "eventually") , and I just finished my trial run with said officer in the Dyson Sphere Battlezone .
The results were less then favorable .
While I'm used to the less then intuitive AI that our Boffs use , the Photonic Tactical Boff went out of his way to ... pretty much do nothing .
Example One : Said Boff is fired upon from several directions (including a Voth soldier that was quite close) , and he ... just stood there .
This has been it's reaction often , while equally often it would not even face neither incoming enemies , nor incoming fire that hit him .
Example Two : While standing still and doing nothing , one can observe that the little Photonic Drone that the Boff can create is more intuitive in engaging in combat then the Photonic Boff that spawned it (who is standing still) .
Could it be that something is perhaps wrong with this Lobi item -- as the impression one gets from the advertisement is that this is a combat trooper , and not as a costly vanity item .
As I rarely if ever see this Boff in the field -- does anyone have a similar / different assessment of this Boff ?

Yeah, he basically sits quietly in my roster, next to the Photonic Science Officer, except I use "Professor Proton" in a couple builds for his Photonic Officer III. Why "Commander Maco" doesn't get PO III, I don't know...
