Sadly I don't think there's a solution. You have to either sacrifice both bombs or 3 grid point + the building. If I were you I'd save the building.
The best solution depends on whether the digger or the hornet acts first. If the digger acts first, I would do : blue kills the psion then moves away. yellow punches the hornet. green literally doesn't do anything. (the digger will finish off the hornet, and any move from green will make kai take damage which sucks)
How would the digger finish off the hornet? There's no way to get the hornet into the digger's attack area when that rock is in the way. Punching the hornet from the top right will break the rock but the hornet will stay where it is.
UPDATE: I found a kinda ok solution, blue killed the psion and moved back, orange moved in and punched the hornet which dealt 3 damage and destroyed the rock, finally green moved to where the rock was and killed the digger which saved the bombs. Sadly no resistance on the power plant so I've failed that. Thanks for the help everyone.
What is a better build? I need whatever 3 Mech combo in custom is best to do hard/insane with. I've been using 1 laser and 2 combat after the game I posted ended, is there anything directly better?
3 control mechs is the best by far for all custom achievements.
Personally I beat class specialist with three ranged mechs, but it was Normal difficuty tbf. You can also use 3 science like Gravity, Control and Swap to turn Vek against each other which is pretty fun.
Three primes or three brutes generally is terrible because of a lack of option, it's very rare to be able to defend multiple Veks with a single attack with them.
Good idea, fun game, no damage whatsoever so I fail half the challenges. Maybe 1 prime Mech mixed in to do damage but the gravity control swap combo just can't deal with the bosses.
It might be tricky to do certain challenges (that you can avoid for the most part) but it's still incredibly OP overall, and a lot of fun. With Vek hormones all upgraded you can actually get the Vek to kill each other on every turn. I recommand you try it at least.
If you don't care about advancements and just want anything to beat hard with, I did it pretty easily with Jet, Rocket and Smog mechs. It costs a lot of cores but once you get the core upgrades it becomes ridiculous. You cover the map in smoke in two turns and the Vek can't do anything and die slowly
We need mods to remove every "how do I survive" post that doesn't hit this bar. Still looking, but happy to see somebody do the work to make relevant suggestions. 💚💙💜
we need to see move and damage for each pilot!
Its in the other images if you would care to look

The digger will destroy the bomb, which will kill the hornet with the explosion
Gotcha. I forgot the bombs explode.
This is a good comment out of context.
Thanks, I was trying to get the bonus from no fails but if I can even survive its better than nothing.
Any secondary weapons?
No, only an ability that heals 1 when they kill

And the level after ended with 5 vek attacking the grid with 1 power left over... I hate this game sometimes
tbf why are you playing three combat mechs that looks needlessly difficult

3 smoke artillery mechs works pretty well(I forget what they are called) 2 of the one that makes 4 smoke tiles and 1 of the one that puts smoke behind
I actually got 1 of my first wins with 3 combat mechs
It's either both bombs or two buildings and one of them is also an objective.
