At its introduction in 2194, the AMT Bulwark was near-universally praised for its unprecedented mobility, modularity, ruggedness, and most of all the revolutionary self-learning neural network that made it the first self-aware walker designed by the Askhari. Together with the Starling-class exploration vessel and the Mark VI exosuit, it quickly became one of the most iconic technologies of the interstellar exploration age, found all over newly founded colonies - and eventually all over newly opened frontlines.
Seventy years later, the droid's novelty has pretty much entirely worn off. But the walker's near-legendary ruggedness and defense manufacturers' unwillingness to switch up their streamlined manufacturing lines means that hundreds of thousands of Bulwarks are still produced with only the slightest modernization tweaks. Over its lifetime, countless variants of the chassis were used on the ground, in space and underwater; by field engineers, combat medics and war correspondents. Even a slightly eyebrow-raising road-legal variant, piloted rather than automated, is commonly found on former fortress worlds.
