That's inaccurate. Bubbles told Momo that she was just a synthetic-in-the-street who chose to join the armed forces. The only thing that was designed for combat is her current chassis.

She did not say she was just a synthetic-in-the-street. An ordinary AI would be ineffective in that chassis, because it has features, sensors, scanners, that a civilian chassis does not. (Take Pintsize, for example. Given a military chassis, he discovered he had a laser he could fire at will, but he could not control it, because he was not designed for it.) She felt the call to serve because she was designed for it.
--- Quote from: Bubbles ---I believed I was well-disposed toward such a role. As an artificial intelligence, I possess skills and features that my human counterparts do not. With this body, I am superhuman. A state of the art weapon that can think, reason, and empathize. What better soldier could there be?

BenRG:
Wrong, wrong, wrong. You're totally misinterpreting everything she said to Momo. All she was saying that as a synthetic, she is more able to be an effective soldier than a human (that, indeed, any synthetic would be so) and, with the right chassis, she becomes superhuman. At no point does she even imply she was designed specifically for military purposes. Instead she clearly states that this was a career she chose.
FWIW, it is my belief that any AI can operate any chassis because the chassis operating software is local to the chassis, not something provided by the AI, which acts simply as the client using that software.
Morituri:
So far? Bubbles is apparently Fayesexual.
Not enough data to generalize. And for that matter there may actually be no generalization at all.
Dandi Andi:
I'm going to have to side with BenRG on this point. Whatever she was doing before she joined the armed forces, she clearly says she chose to join. That implies that she was not purpose-built for it. It isn't even clear exactly how much control developers have over what properties an AI will have. Consider that Winslow wasn't "designed" to have fingers, yet he seems capable of using them effectively in his new chassis. That's a feat we have a hard time specifically designing robots for, let alone for software to pick up on the fly.
As for Pintsize's military laser? He simply didn't have the correct drivers for it.
awgiedawgie:
Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree.
