I fucked up in this calculation, and used her full weight over 10 short tons instead of a touch over 5. That's very bad since the KE equation is KE=1/2mv^2 and I'd specified 5 short tons for that reason with the assumption of a blow having her full weight behind it. At 3.5 megajoules, the cubic equation resolves down to about 12 meters of double reinforced concrete. Still more meters than she is tall.

>First, all armor-piercing and bunker-busting munition achieve their penetration performance through a very thin shaped charge - HEAT and it's variants.
This is true, but the bunker buster is still a 30 ton object at drop and it is a guided missile. The explosive staging and reactions can be expected to add energy rather than reduce it, with the smaller diameter penetrator reducing the denominator in the perforation equation.
>Second, beating M829 wouldn't require a full-power blow, as the latest known variants of it stops at about 800mm of RHA, which would be roughly equal to 8m of concrete.
>And finally, taking into consideration all of the above, the giant girl wouldn't even need to do any martial arts in order to deal an equivalent damage.
Prying, grasping, grappling attacks seem ill advised against robots which frequently use some form of close proximity holdout weapon, e.g. gun fingers or even simple self destruct. Without the apex human and martial arts buffs, her relative strike speed goes down considerably. A typical male's punch is more likely to impact at about 3.7 m/s according to most "punch calculators" I see online. Incorporating max bodymass into a punch requires training and practice.
Assuming only one quarter of the bodyweight, at a 3.7m/s relative punch impact speed:
400m^2/s^2 * 4750kg/4= ~480 kilojoules, rounded far enough up to make the next equation easier.
1000=1.392(H^3) + 6.76(H^2) + 288.5(H)
~3 meters of concrete. Mech wins.
