Just how complex is Bubbles' chassis?
OldGoat:
It appears the Bubbles project was highly classified. When she received her medical(?) discharge the paperwork forwarded to the Department of Veterans' Affairs lacked considerable information. From what they could see, she did not qualify for a different chassis because her current one met all the specifications, but everything about how far it exceeded those specs had been not just redacted but completely edited out. To the DoD people who released it and the VA folks who issued it to her, it was just more surplus.
As for Pintsize, he's a first generation Anthro PC, a sentient personal computer with some locomotive abilities (and, formerly, a laser weapon). Marten was an early adopter of the technology. The socio-legal status of AIs changed substantially after he came off the assembly line. Indeed, he may be of the last generation of AI chassis to be assembled as a consumer electronics device. Obtaining an Anthro PC was more like purchasing a personal computer in those days and the process has acquired far more legal obligations.

That seems like kind of a mean question. Why should Bubbles not be allowed to have her body?
Undrneath:
I don't know if Marten was an early adopter. When he got Pintsize there was already Gordon and somewhat human shaped AI's.

Because her body is very likely property of the US Department of Defense and may contain proprietary or classified technology not approved for civilian use.

Technically her body was government property when Pintsize got military grade equipment the government came and seized it.
