Mechawood is clear a secret and the rest where present in Atlas condition, Penny is evolution of that rise many alarms, even more in the condition Cinder present it:
We dont know how much it cost Penny to be built, so far and army of penny shoudnt be posible right now and even more consider Cinder just give them a punch in the PR department.

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"But Penny is also an evolution that has many benefits for people. Think about how the city would fare in a Grimm breach if there were a bunch of Penny-bots in the crowd.
They're always armed, capable of everything a Hunter is and more, and better yet, they have consciences and can grow attached to people. When the people they're attached to are in danger...
Well, just look at Penny when Roman attacked Ruby.
You can always fix a Penny-bot, but you can't bring a dead Hunter back. They're stronger, tougher and overall either more versatile or more specialized than Hunters.
Penny's a person. She's a real girl. She's not an AI pretending to be human, she's an actual intelligent and self-aware being who exists and has an aura. That's kind of the whole point of being a person, to be aware of yourself. Narratively speaking, being a robot isn't really a big obstacle to being a person.

But there is the question Cinder left hanging: who this penny bots serve? and for what? this kind of thing need care to be present into the public, Cinder just blunt force the issue in whole posible way, and even more if she leaked the video Mercury is taking, Penny is not "future of hunting" is "the invasiont of secrets robots from atlas"
and self aware AI is what? even them she wasnt build just for the sake o it, Atlas build her for a reason making her their property whatever she likes or not, being atlas secret project is not something you can shrurg out like this.
Them, why Atlas will build them? having and army of android who can think and more important, decide the goverment is not worth kepping...you can see the issues dosent it?
Also, even if the follow the project, they will diferent from Penny, that is the issue at hand.

"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"That will be very hard for Atlas though, seeing as these bots are self aware and have consciences. We've seen that Penny was willing to defy orders to interact with Ruby.
Also, Penny clearly had a Semblance with her swords, as well as having Aura, evidenced by an Aura bar. She has a soul, she can't just be 'taken over' using a computer.
I'm not entirely sure that Penny's Swords have anything to do with a possible Semblance, because I have seen my fair share of Attack Drones that don't require special powers to use.
Especially if they're wired.

Penny: Salutations, Pyrra Nykos!
Pyrra: I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!
Which leads to Pyrrha basically repeating "I'm sorry" ad nasuem.... Which leads to walking up to Pyrrha and happily hugging her.
Nah, from what I've seen, the fanfiction for RWBY tends to be awesome. Dunno why the fanfiction thread died off though

For me, Penny was build with the idea of Maiden in mind, maybe instead of wating some lucky girl to be the next maiden, you could be one! at least that would give a good reason to bring her back and tie her with the main plot, otherwise is pointless.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"Yeah, it was weird because world o remant said each semblence is entirely unique, but them this come from, so I think they retcon that in order to have something conecting the sister(and because it take more to make diferent power from everyone).
Also is just me or Ruby look MORE badass with Pennys sword than crsent rose? she give me this Levi vibe from her.
"My Name is Bolt, Bolt Crank and I dont care if you believe or not"

Atlas has a thing for robotics. The Atlesian Knights, Atlesian Paladins, Penny... MechaIronwood. It wouldn't surprise anyone in-universe if they brought Penny back.
