The thing that would concern me more is an opponent bringing in the MTB with Lobot just to counter mine. That is the one reason I probably won't put him in the main build, more than San.
If you've built around the MTB, you probably have a lot of activations. Squads that bring him will almost certainly be MTB + Ugo x4 which means 5 additional activations tops. Most Lobot squads start with low activations to begin with so they aren't likely to top you. This will force them to play more aggressively because time is on your side.
Bottom line, I think a prepared MTB squad will still have the advantage over a reinforcements MTB squad (thought I think there will be cases where MTB as reinforcements will be valuable, or increase your odds over the alternative.)
I actually reworked my 200 pt. "Luke and Yoda" squad (as posted on this site's 200 pt. squad critique page) to include Lobot. It allows me to bring the MTB when I think I need it, or I can just grab Wicket to complement my squad of Ewoks instead.
