A couple of quick thoughts: drop the climb skill progit from all models. Kinda of hard to climb without hands.

What Progress Level are these robots?

Change your weapon mix as well. I'd replace a laser rifle with a grenade launcher for some area suppresion and indirect fire capability (paired up with targeting infromation from the Recon version). Also all models have the same weapon mix. Copy & Paste error or intentional?

I'd upgrade the sensor system on the Recon version. Kind of hard to differentiate it as a recon platform if it has the same sensors as the first two models. Also I'm pretty sure that Computer Use is the skill used with ssensors you probably want give the Recon model a skill progit with Computer Use (say 8 ranks)
