The only real way to answer this is whether they get 2.5x or 1.4x damage from headshots.

Yeah no, they are not bosses. The problem with them is the wave 10, 4 phantom spam on gold. It is 2 (or in my case 4) phantoms too many.

Also their ranged attack has a dizzying rate of fire, damage and accuracy and with it they don't even give the player a chance to react.

A simple test would be to compare the damage with and without a Cranial Trauma mod on a pistol. 

EDIT: unless a PC player wants to inform us, that is.

Lolcabal.

Actually, this should be on the top of the OP's list. Shoot them until they cloak, and then use nightshade blades. Ludicrously effective.

Yes, but that's beside the point. Pyros and Dragoons also take 1.4 headshot damge.

I'm pretty sure Dragoons and Pyros get the 2.5x multiplier... so it's not as cut and dry as "armored or not armored".

Off the top of my head... the ones who only get the 1.4x multiplier are:

Geth: Primes
Cerberus: Atlases
Reapers: Brutes, Ravagers, Banshees
Collectors: Scions, Crabs

Do they? I'm not doubting your word... but I wouldn't mind a source.

In my world only the Prime, Atlas, Banshee, and Praetorians are bosses.

Then you have trash mobs and elite trash mobs(this is what a Phantom is).

They sync-kill which makes them and all other sync-kill units a "boss" IMO

Yes.
They're undoubtedly BS bosses. Not even geth primes cheat like them.

We live in the same world then.

Phantoms get the 2.5 headshot multiplier btw.

That little blue circle in the middle of their forehead is supposedly a weak spot... but I hardly ever aim for it. Popping the sacs tends to make them dead fast enough.

Yeah using a high powered gun and drill ammo... you can hit all the sacs at once and get em in 1 shot.

I *love* the Falcon.  It's ability to stagger makes me feel warm and tingly inside.

Hmm, I've heard of the Falcon before. Is it some off spec character like the Talon?

i would classify phantoms as sub-bosses, similar to brutes. they arent bosses but they aent regular ground troops either.
i like to use the bronze when is the first time you see them view, atlas' appear the same time as banshees and primes.

Krysae is also fantastic against Phantoms. Gold wave 10, you can lock down all 4 with Krysae shots.

You forgot lolAdas.

I consider anything that sync-kills to be boss material.
