Is Lemartes' Jump Pack optional?

Can I choose to have him drop it, so that my squad of Death Company can choose a Dedicated Transport? (Otherwise, with Jump Packs, they cannot choose a Dedicated Transport; not to mention that Lemartes' Jump Pack will then take up two capacity slots.)

Nope. Part of the downside of using spec chars is they seldom have many options.

Go for a Reclusiarch instead and just equip him with standard PA
