NOTE: In Marvel issue 72, IG-88 returns this possible because, as is revealed in the Shadows Of The Empire game, IG-88B survived his encounter with Boba Fett and went to Ord Mantell to repair himself after which it appears to ailed himself with Bossk. The reason his presence was not discovered by the other IG-88s before transferring to the Death Star was that the link was damage in the encounter with Boba-Fett.
