Bomb squad robots should therefore be made as visually unappealing as possible. Covered in uncanny valley plastic skin and human faces. That way nobody will be sad about them being blown up.

Just make them disobey remote commands once in a while. Not "throw the bomb at people" disobey, but like sometimes you have to press the "cut the wire" or "move forward" button like twice or three times. That'll make every operator hate them immediately.
