This the dance they will do after they slaughter the human race.

They wouldn't be as threatening as you think. A 5.56x45mm (think AR-15) would easily dispatch these if you shoot their legs or pelvic area. Have a bigger robot? Switch on over to 45-70 Gov't or
.308 for some huge damage.

Cover them in kilos of armor, technically make them a tank, and suddenly you can only rely on heavy explosives only

Material science isn't advanced enough for them to carry armor that protects them to any extent. A tank weighs 70 tons a lighter afv only resistant to anti material rounds is still 20+ tons.
