"Blastromech" Droids are by definition and nature, designed to be inexpensive and expendable, performing duties such as being guards or sentries. This is to free up more important and advanced units for other tasks.
However, the Imperial Remnant has developed an advanced variant of the Blastromech Droid, one designed to support troops in open combat. Far more heavily armed and armored than a standard "Blastromech", the Advanced Blastromech is correspondingly more expensive, making its deployment far rarer than most other Mahporeem Combat Droids.
As such, Advanced Blastromechs are generally only seen supporting elite combat units, as their rarity and expense greatly limits when and where they can be deployed. That being said, they can be force multipliers when properly deployed on the battlefield.
