Does anyone know how thebomb droid number rating correlates to the damage done? i.e. the formula?
I bought some R3 59 strength, i hear they can do 3700 ish damage before armour etc is taken into consideration ... still waiting on an unsuspecting jedi to try it on though

best way to find out is break out the old Start>Run Calc and use that algebra you thought you wouldnt use. Duel a friend with verbose chat on and have at the numbers.

detonate is an option, not a command, so it can't be 'told' to your pet. the best option is to target your droid and when they reach the target, hit the cidila key (~) and select the detonate option.

You need to have your droid targeted for it to work and the command is /detonateDroid.

I'm about 90% sure you used to be able to /say detonate and it would. However this would give away your surpise package. I've been wondering about /tellpet det or detonate. It SHOULD work, since you can /tellpet follow, etc.
To get around it though, I had a droid engineer make me specially named droids. Mine are named "bombadier" and I use the following to detonate at it
(with mark targeted)
Macro Name: Bombardier
/tellpet chase
/tar bombardier
This targets the droid, then I hit ~ to access the radial and hit the detonate option. I think it's number 4
Works best asa first strike weapon combined with massive dmage special like /sniper
You can pull a bomb droid while in combat IF it's in deed form. You can do this in the middle of an engagement and then /kd+ /startle shot your make to perma KD them for 5 secs. They can't heal, or stand up. I tend to use this when the mark has 1000 or less health since the level 59 droids I use typically hit for 1200-1800 depending on the Jedi's template.
At 90k a pop though... they are expensive to waste. I would suggest testing your macro and system with guild buddies and using cheap MSE Mouse bomb droids.
*EDIT*
Posted this before the above listed the /detonateDroid command. A macro will still work for this:
Macro Name: Bomb
(with mark targeted)
/tellpet chase
/pause 2
/tar bombardier
/detonateDroid
