Seems too complex when you can just create a basic metal casing that can kill people. Why would they care if its anatomically accurate or not, it doesn't need us to relate to the characters like the movies do

The following might sound like pop culture Mad Libs but it's 100% true.
The Jurassic Park guy [1] directed an 80s sci-fi film [2] about malfunctioning domestic robots. I saw a few minutes of it on cable in the late 90s. There's a scene [3] where Magnum PI does battle with an overhead projector on wheels that has a .38 duck-taped to it in the distantly-future year 1991. The movie was about as good as the robot was menacing, which is to say it wasn't. The critics didn't think so either.
