Because government is lame and giant robots are cool.
I want to see a ReichBot in my lifetime. Get to work, nerds.

Look at Zod from the GoBots.
https://gbwiki.shoutwiki.com/wiki/File:TargetEarth_zod_awakens.jpg
Compare to the largest production dump truck in use today. The Russian made BelAZ 75710. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BelAZ_75710
Wheelbase 8 m (26 ft 3 in) Length 20.6 m (67 ft 7 in) Width 9.87 m (32 ft 4+5⁄8 in) Height 8.26 m (27 ft 1+1⁄4 in) Curb weight 360000 kg (793664 lb)
Here is a side view of the 75710 comparison with a car and people. https://en.clickpetroleoegas.com.br/The-largest-truck-in-the-world-Belaz-75710-is-20-meters-long-and-can-carry-450-thousand-kilos/
Based on the picture with Zod and assume those two guys running from it are 6 feet tall, I would say Zod is probably 30 ft tall with it's width roughly the same 75710 but not as long and weighs less since a lot of weight is needed to haul around heavy amounts of earth the dumptruck would be designed for. I would assume the engine, weight of the people, and whatever weapons it would be carrying would be heavy.
For weapons, let's say a flamethrower from the head and 50 cal automatic machine guns with short range missiles/rockets. Drones being used in the Russian SMO have proven to destroy tanks so Zod could potentially carry such weapons as well. The armor to resist attacks like a tank would add considerable weight. Zod could be used a mobile base for drone operators. Could have 3 or 4 operators in there.
This is obviously a stupid thought exercise but I was watching Gobots and got to thinking why not.
