Why do space suits need to be built with 2 legs and 2 arms?

Why not a space suit with no legs and 4 robodic arms?

Or two legs and no arms? The arms could be inside driving robotic tools...

Or replace the legs with a track drive like that found on a tank...

Or the human in the "suit" could instead be supported in a one-size fits all "pod" which could be attached to whatever tools/robotic extentions are needed for a particular job. The human could enter the "pod" in a pressurized environment and then the pod could be moved roboticly into place...

We need more robot/human interaction on the surface in these pictures!

Cool none-the-less
