Whatever legged vehicle gets developed in the future, I think you have to keep it low to the ground. Cover is essential. The advantage of legs over wheels is on rough terrain, including urban terrain full of obstacles, stairs, etc. Something the size of a dog wouldn’t need to be heavily armoured. It could be autonomous or remote controlled. Armed with anti-personnel ordinance and light armour, it would be fast and deadly. I can see it working up to the size of a small car (Smart car size,) but not much bigger than that. Once it gets any bigger, the extra fragility and complexity will overwhelm it. It’s simple physics. Mass increase is cubed, while material strength increase is squared. It’ll quickly be unable to support its own weight.

A cherry-picking robot should do that.

I guess that since the order is actually knowledge as common as to make it into anime such as Code Geass, where the abundance of dedicated military technology bitterly compares to using a general-purpose cyborg to harvest oranges, the first speaker might have been expressing a wish.

They’d go on strike.

as the current tech stands, it would more likely be along the lines of armored troopers voltoms but advancements to come we should be able to produce viable units probably resembling wanzers and pregeneration armored cores (ACV) only thing of that wouldn’t be present are the oversized weaponary

Just make sure it doesn’t run on Windows. That will make it useless.
