I think they should get large damage resistance and immunity to poisons, cold, suffocation just as a baseline. They're a robot, after all.
They should be extremely difficult to destroy and should be able to get a variety of powers that make them extremely deadly fighters(one of their powers should definitely be a built in radio jammer). In order to encourage stealth, though, they should have a weakness: their serial-number that, when entered into a new feature in COMMASTER programs, transmits a self-destruct signal. This serial number is stamped prominently on their metal endoskeleton, any time they take significant brute or burn damage, part of their skeleton is exposed and part of their serial-number will be revealed to anyone who examines them. Also, many of their more powerful offensive abilities should make them say their serial number as they use them. Their synthflesh will regenerate from brute damage quickly, and can much more slowly repair sections that have burned off. Severe burn damage destroys their flesh entirely, requiring them to apply synthflesh to themselves. Whenever any part of their skeleton is exposed they are very obviously a robot. Actually destroying them through direct damage should be extremely difficult.
This makes them very powerful in combat but makes rampages difficult to pull off as it will only take one person to learn their number and then escape to end it.
