So we've got spoilers of the new independent Warjack being released:
home.privateerpress.com/2020/06/03/dev-blog-malvin-mayhem/
Obviously, in spite of being Friendly Faction and available in all our themes, there aren't a ton of obvious synergies just due to how few abilities we have that target Warjacks. He seems good with Helga1, Warhead has the same synergy with her Feat as a Primal Archon, Defender's Ward can have him sitting at a respectable 13/22, and I guess in a pinch Distraction could make his Killing Sprees that much more dangerous. Helga2 gives him her Feat, which if you time for the same turn as Malvin uses the Button will at least give him a decent Speed 7 Feat move that ignores free strikes, allowing him to fly straight over a few enemy models to set them on fire. Arkadius and Carver don't really provide anything at all (Quagmire in Carver's case, but it's hard to leverage that with Killing Spree, and while Arkadius could sling out a Crippling Grasp there are far better options for him to take), Midas only helps with Calamity, Azazello wishes that somehow they were a warrior model, and Sturm and Drang provide the only threat range increase with TK but probably have more important models to bring.
I could see myself bringing him with the Helgas at least
