There are several methods of construction, with varying levels of bio-mimetic conformance. As Dartz has mentioned it depends on various factors.
In Shizuka’s case there is a large amount of bio-mimicry, at least in outward appearance. This is a legacy of A.C.’s background in cybernetics. However, without all the mushy stuff you have to deal with in a biological form you can be more efficient in getting the same result. This makes for more free space inside, which then needs filling.
With Shizuka, this is somewhat filled with heavy duty components and armouring, plus the relevant shock-absorption and floatation devices (And NO, I’m talking the real things).
One thing most people don’t have is access hatches, which are normally indistinguishable on the body. However, these are for access to major junctions and parts that need direct access.
With her skin off, Shizuka looks like an armour plated posing doll-slash-skeleton.
However, having her skin off should only happen for major work like a full reconstruction. Like, got smashed between two spaceships or just fought several Class 1 combatants to the death. (Or, if we’re being boring, after 30 years of general use according to her last check-up.) Remember, she’s a COMBAT chassis.
If you want to have her open up her abdomen and show off her bio-reactor, you can. Otherwise Drakken will have to borrow an un-templated chassis from A.C.
