Some of the more famous Confederation machines
The transparent 1x1s and that tooth part are standing in for minifig hands used for, respectively, point-defence guns and antennae.
The big boys are Halberds; the smaller ones are Furies; Alecto-IIs, to be more precise. The smallish ones are un-named strike machines, and the tiniest is a- also un-named -fast scout.
To get an idea of how incredibly offensive it would be to use one of these- or anything based on their chassis' -in a modern battle: imagine that a pack of Jews got together and stole a Tiger tank from a museum. I don't know if there are any functional Tigers left, but just imagine there are.
Imagine that they spraypaint it with a pattern of interlocking rainbow swastikas, SS runes and My Little Pony Cute Marks and drive it through the streets of Warsaw Heil Hitler-ing and playing the hit '30s pop song "Let's Kill all the Untermenschen for Lebensraum" at window-shattering volume.
Now imagine that, somehow, every single witness lost family in the Uprising or concentration camps, and that this was some bizarre alternate universe where the murder squads drove Tiger tanks and the Nazis, instead of trying to cover it up, videotaped it and used it for propaganda.
So yeah, it would be pretty bad for your P.R.
