Of course, they don't have to be tanks. Especially if it's not a combat model. I imagine civilian models would be built to be more aesthetically pleasing than for toughness anyways. Unless it's like a construction model or something... they do all have mechanical claws and tails and what not. They wouldn't be a mechanoid beast otherwise.
