A thing I worked on today!
Something I realize I’ve made part of the Ani-droids universe, but have not expounded on much, are the different classes of ani-droids beyond the common personal ani-droid like Lily.
These classifications are not necessarily 100 percent stock—Custodes-class ani-droids could, for instance, be equipped with lots of expensive non-lethal weaponry methods for law enforcement*, lighter subdual methods for private security, tools alone for for fire and rescue, and so on. The “base model” of Custodes-class, however, contains the presumption that a number of tools will be built-in, and that the personality will be authoritative to civilians and responsive to human commanders.
* (the reason the Custodes class actually wear clothes is in part for the uniform, and in part to cover the areas where the arms and such separate into weapon modes, where there would be obvious seams)

You wouldn't want the seams laid bare anyway in certain situations. Lotta dirt and debris could gum up their joints at critical moment. I hope most of their clothing is designed to prevent that! Would suck if a fire & rescue droid had its joints seize up in the middle of escorting civilians to safety.
Did you also come to the conclusion that it would be better to make animal-like androids than uncanny human looking ones? I mean, if we ever get that far, the teddy bear will be the "model" for sapient machines, not people. Faking people is too hard and we never get it quite right even in film.
