Well, even a downloaded personality wouldn't necessitate a skull, unless you're saying that the downloaded personality wanted the skull to look cooler, or that the skull belonged to the personality's original body and they wanted it for sentimental reasons.
Did you know this section has a character limit?
Maybe it was a cyborg, and now that the host is dead, it's running solely on the onboard AI.
They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!
They mention Cybernetics. So both.
That would be horrifying. Unless it had some sort of standby mode, the poor sap would have been up there slowly rotting away in solitude for decades. And he'd NEVER BE ABLE TO SCRATCH THAT ITCH ON HIS NOSE.
But he doesn't have a nose anymore.
Nurgle. I hate you and everything you stand for, but phantom itching is one of the best things you've ever thought of!

Exactly the reference I was going for.
Plot twist: The inability to scratch that itch on his nose was intentional, to make him more annoyed for whenever an intruder came along. 
World's Cutest Direwolf
Don't be ridiculous. Nazi scientists aren't so morally bankrupt they'd do that.
It'd take a Chaos God to think of that. JUST AS PLANNED!
In Knights of the Golden Circle, Helsingard stated that his technology involved harnessing the brain's natural computing power for his autosoldats. Given that the Orbitpanzer was made by Vanadis Valkyrie, who had access to Helsingard tech, it probably used the brain that used to be in that skull as part of its AI circuitry.
He managed to get into the escape pod and start it. You can see it launching out as the station burns up in re-entry.
Ah, I see it now.
So what do you guys think'll happen to the station once it gets into Earth? Maybe it'll take care of that Monster Island? 
Something that large and with that much mass. Yes.
It will cause lot of destruction upon reentry. Clearly Robo will be to blame for the mess and ULTRA will waste little effort trying to seize on that fact.
The funny part being that Robo sort of is responsible, but it's not actually his fault when you get right down to it.
Just a harmless giant from a foreign land.
The General seems annoyed
She was probably looking forward to nuking super-mutants and now someone's gone and spoiled her post-apocalyptic fantasy life.

Let
◊ the political shitstorm commence!
Yeah, this is more or less what I expected to happen at the end of this debacle. Ultra getting crucified by international politics and media for what was, from any perspective, a grievously mishandled incident that would have led to Bad Things happening whether their plan worked or not. Any plan where success leaves you in a state not much better off than failure is a sign that you should come up with a better plan.
Namely what Team Robo came up with.
But man, today ain't a good day to be with ULTRA, huh? I bet the General's gonna swear vengeance to Robo.
Also, what's the Secure Act? Was that something they established earlier?
The SECURE Act was mentioned a bit in establishing how Majestic had become Ultra, and was roughly the legal basis for their raiding of various superscience facilities.
Just a harmless giant from a foreign land.
if SECURE is repealed, Robo could sue for getting his property (Tesladyne) back, setting up the Tesladyne Island we saw at the end of the FCBD a while back.

I mean like they downloaded a personality into the machine.
But hey Undead Eddison.
