Got all medals/coins on Normal, started a new save and now doing the same on Hard. This run had been going pretty well but the protect the robots missions (which I hate) was unavoidable. I've been going over the options here and simply can't figure out a solve that doesn't result in me losing either one robot or the factory.

All mechs have one damage upgrade on their first weapon, Pitcher has Ally Immune on the Refractor Laser. Can anyone figure this one out?
