Yeah, but you don't have to worry about cleaning up after this one, or worry about it dying because it wasn't properly fed.

Which is replaced by the worry of mechanical maintenance of a very complex robot, and a limited range depending on its power source. After all, batteries aren't that good yet, and gas engines are hardly a model of efficiency (Though they're the best thing we've got at the moment and why we're so addicted). Not to mention, this gas engine seems to be extremely noisy as of yet. Considering its suppose to be more or less replace the pack mule, in a supporting role for troops that's most certainly not good.
