as for why retrofitting civilian dolls into tactical dolls, well as a Private Military Company and Scurity Consultant Griffin & Kryuger operates on the very thin edge of laws, for one they cannot use weapons designed in the last 50 years so a lot of antiques were dusted off and some other "antiques" were "rebuilt" from remains in order to fill in the gunning necesities, then is the fact that purpose built tactical dolls are expensive and with many being prototypes neural unstability is expected, however civilian dolls are plentiful, cheap, many are already mass produced so parts are available and more important the basic frame of a civilian doll and the less advanced tactical dolls is pretty much identical, so what I.O.P. does is the robotics equivalent of finding cheap toyotas, welding some armor plates and mounting "old" machineguns on 'em to fill in the ranks of G&K, as per G&K request all t-dolls are classified and reffered by their imprint weapon for ease of logistics and to help conceal their origin.

that doesn't mean that I.O.P. does not design and build dolls from the ground up, they do for example M4 and Sop-II, Sop's frame is modular down to being compatible with parts and modules from every manufacturer and she got all the necessary files to perform her own field maintenance and repairs, which had some effect on her neural functions..
