Ah, I see. Well, you'd be wrong, then. A robot need only be a mechanical task-machine, visuals are at the designer's discretion. I don't know what a Forerunner robot would look like, but I can tell you these Prometheans look a lot easier to sell as Forerunner robots than they do as living creatures.
