Seems a bit low, especially considering armor.
Without armor I can imagine a doberman drone weighing about the same as a large dog, so let's say about 70kg/140lbs thanks to the use of light-weight metals and carbon.
But then, it's a combat drone and it's got plates of metal slapped to its side. That stuff adds weight.
With that added, if it's got decent armor (and don't forget, weapons and ammo weigh a bunch too), the weight should at least double.

A formula along the lines of "body x ##lbs" would be nice, but imo armor should be included too, so something like (body  + armor) x ## would make more sense.

The table Shaidar posted is really nice, though. And much simpler.
But again, I'd add weight for weapons and armor.

rather body * x kg + armor * y kg + z kg
where z is a basic frame weight plus weaponry/tools
Sorry for a small delay ;)

Vehicle Armor, again from Rigger 3.

Reduced the weight that could be carried by (Body2x5) Kg per point of armor installed.

Bringing the wisdome of the ages.

Obviously in conversion there will be exceptions to that chart.

I can't see an Otomo weighing in at 12 tons, for example. :)

Correct, I have no idea how the Vehicle Body stat changed between SR3 and SR4.

Has anyone looked into the stats for a few models of vehicle stats for both SR3 & SR4?

I'd be interested in doing that, but the chart seems a bit off to me, considering a modern (2010's) Predator drone weighs nearly 2.25 tons.
