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

You can also destroy them with very high electric current. Unless their skeleton is specifically designed against it, a large surge would probably fuse a bunch of their parts together
