I can definitely see something like this as one of the Institute's cast-off projects in favor of Synths. "
Scientist One: /holds up blueprints - "Who needs power armor when you can have a fully self-contained mobile platform that doesn't have to worry about the pilots arm being exposed to the environment when the armor gets blown off?"
Scientist Two: /holds up table napkin with stick figure doodles - "Who needs to send out a giant robot with a pilot when we can send out homicidal human-sized robots, and later mind-controlled human clones to do our bidding?"
Scientist One: "Awe, man, why didn't I come up with homicidal clones?!" /throws plans in trashcan

I hope you will be able to make it customizable... AWESOME!
Hopefully once it's ready, you could find some in the world used by NPCs!
