Rain Forest got errata'd a long time ago.

I'd suggest getting a Sekretar as your body and add realistic features to that one.

I'm playing a character with this concept at the moment (Revenant in my sig). Therefore I'm a bit biased, but I can assure you, you want lots and lots of autosofts  ;)

I think part of the reason I did avoid them at first was the whole R on their body.  Which means you'd need to have a licence to have your body.. How do you end up dealing with that yourself?

It's a full body prosthetic - get a Fake SIN and a License + at Realistic Features 4 it's unlikely someone realizes that you are a robot.  ;D

I see, perhaps. Though that would make them into a cyberzombie which could cause its own complications. What do you do for armor anyways?

I've got a technomancer who uses a ibot with some of the more fancy armors.

Eh? Just a very cybered person, or convincing drone.

That will fool anyone looking at the body (short of using a cyberware scanner or other more invasive checks), but you need WTLM to convince anyone you're actually human. (or that there's a human at the helm, if they aren't convinced it's human)

I have a very similar character who is a decker-turned-e-ghost. He pilots a Sekretar with realistic features.
It is better to be crazy and know it, than to be sane and have one's doubts.

Remember, you're only a genius when they need you. The rest of the time you're just an asshole.

I decided not to go with the bigger bot, due to how much more expensive everything would be, level 4 realistic features would cost like 80k.

Instead I picked up a second body, a little less upgraded but designed to help repair my main bot.

Trying to figure how to do certain things in herolab, Like making the limbs set up in such a way that they could be modular.

It looks like the armor is 6, the pilot is 0.

If you are looking for a good but cheap Anthro drone take a look at Hard Targets: The Sparing Drone is excellent value with high body and therefore much customization room while also being dirt cheap. Get rid of the pityfull armor and give it normal armor to wear and you are good to go.
