then again - it is theoretically possible that we could bring back armor. These robots appear to be EXTREMELY resilient, being able to reliably withstand numerous missile strikes with no apparent damage to the structure of the robot. You have difficulty just blowing weapons off as is - you don't appear to penetrate armor at ALL. Under such circumstances, durability could become more important than mobility. What is more curious is the two-legged nature, which requires a very dynamic system and is, in fact, very hard to balance - unlike, for example, a quadroped.
