this thing is material wrapped, and has motorised profiles under the material to let it change shape, open it's eye's etc.

Have you never noticed that the outer bodyshell of a car isn't really strong enough to withstand an impact?

Obviously? Where did you get your time machine from to make such a rash statement?
