Optmius only died once in Beast Wars, I think. And the other time he was just close to death.

I don't remember him dying in Beast Wars (man, it's been awhile). I mean, not Optimus Primal anyway - Optimus got his Spark blasted to bits by Megatron.

"And then a rain of Penny's lands on top of her. They all say, "Saaaal-utations!""

And them they said "after the death of the original penny, we reach the decision that you can no longer be charge of your own destiny, so stay there, everything would be ALLLLRIGHT"

RWBY:Age of penny.

[up][up][up][up]Maybe, but know they have other kindoms asking question sof what they are going to do and futhermore, they just saw their worst blow in a lot of time by having her fleet destroy(by a crminal they capture, mind you) their entire robot army put against them and their little secreat show off to the world, really the only this could be worst if Cinder decide to show photoshop picture of Ironwood and Ozpin saying "LOL I TROLL YOU!!!!!" one can star asking how hard their grap in their sociaty is going to be now.

[up][up][up]Maybe not scrap the entire project but right now but it would not be the same penny who die in the tournament, also I dont thing Atlas is having much time left.

[up]Optimus primal sacrifice himself in beast machine to Stop megatron and return cybertron to a trans-organic nature, one of the few time him dying actually means something.

Even if it's only a ten percent chance that Penny returns, she can make up the rest with COURAGE.

... this show need more Rocket Punches in general, really.

[up] Never said it was going to be the same penny. I just imagine that at some point penny returns. They either just refer to her as penny 2.0 or she has a new name, but chances are very high she won't have any memories of the previous penny. I find it hard to imagine that a spare was not in storage to boot up like how rei has clones or with the geth. Especially since minus Aura she is just a robot and unless they stumbled upon the giving a machine Aura by complete accident the process should be repeatable with the only problem I can thinking being her father refusing to help.

[up]the problem with Atlas is that giving a robot the hability to be self aware is just asking for a rebellion, just look what happen after Roman hijack the droids, they may fear penny or other robots put their own well being against Atlas, so having a general droid with Aura is better for them.

Also if not penny, them it will be just other chararter, you dont need every android be red head(which make me question if Penny really have a soul....)

[up]Ginger jokes... lovely. Ruby noticed Penny had a soul, apparently. (I guess that is something Huntsman and Huntresses can do, detect souls.) You need a soul to produce Aura, and Penny was capable of producing an Aura. Therefore, Penny has a soul.

I'm thinking the Aura producing robots were necessary, because normal Atlesian Knights are clearly inferior to most types of Grimm, and apparently have the durability of tinfoil, not to mention their underwhelming firepower. Takes several to take down an Ursa. AI-controlled Paladins on the other hand...

Too bad they took out Penny before taking control of Atlas' hardware. Perhaps Penny would be immune to Cinder's virus. Or, perhaps...

[down]Should be this Sunday. They post to YouTube a week after their own site.

I maintain the (Impossible) idea that Penny comes back having rebuilt herself/by the Illuminati looking like Street Fighter V Nash. Her body looks like it's crudely welded/bolted together, she's way more bitter, she uses teleports, and has her own take on Nash's Critical Art.

... I may be on a Street Fighter kick. Can't imagine why!

Additionally, I'm going to have to do some testing, but I'm sure that there's an unintentional Shout-Out to Monster Hunter with Ember Celica. I hear it firing, and I hear one of the Heavy Bowgun lines I use in 4 Ultimate.

I'll post an update when I find which one it is.

Penny's cover may be blown but she's still the strongest artificial combat platform we've seen in the show by far. It would be beyond foolish for Atlas to give up on her now.

If anything the distrust of Atlas means they now need Penny type units more than ever in case this leads to war.

All right, normally I'm a spoiler hound but for this, I'm staying away for 24 hours. Enjoy the season finale for those who can watch it. I'll freak out later.

RWBY:Age of penny.
' Penny: Worthy? How could you be worthy? You're all killers. You all want to "protect" the world... but you don't want it to change.

-writing that fanfic now, alternate ending to Vol 3-

Ginger jokes... lovely.

It is kind of funny that the ginger android would specifically have doubts about her existence.

Ruby noticed Penny had a soul, apparently. (I guess that is something Huntsman and Huntresses can do, detect souls.) You need a soul to produce Aura, and Penny was capable of producing an Aura. Therefore, Penny has a soul..

I think that takes the "aura = soul" implication too seriously, Pyrrha was using a lot of figurative language there. "They are the darkness, and we are the light."

And Ruby didn't detect that Penny had a soul. She's fifteen, she's a sweet girl, and Penny had just claimed to not be a real person.

[up]They could create another, no need to bring a little girl like penny, dosent it?

And war against WHO? that is what Cinder wants so far, to create distrust, the idea of robot girl that pass for human only complicate things.

It is kind of funny that the ginger android would specifically have doubts about her existence.
Nowadays it's actually pretty common to see orange-haired, freckled kids having existential and self-worth issues. I've noticed a running trend: Said characters tend to be very adaptable and capable of inserting themselves in any number of situations. See: Jimmy Olsen, Ron Weasley, Ahiru, humanizations of Pearl, Seizhi Schwan, etc.

"Ginger jokes... lovely."

I know, right?tongue

[up][up][up][up] because I dont think there is any thing to recover after the nevermore and grimm, the preview said white fang have pull of so its posible they are letting the grim do the dirty job.

Also penny have another flaw for atlas: she can think freely, that is always a risk for a govertment, specially one like them.

I'm afraid that while the finale will most definitely be awesome, it might also cause the FNDM to collectively loose their shit, either in a good way, or in a bad way. In a really, really bad way.

Considering she is more effective then the other types of machines and seemingly less hackable it does make her and more like her the safer alternative for anyone looking to put less flesh and blood people on the battlefield against the grim. The biggest flaw was probably giving her to much free reign and not accounting for worse case scenario like polarity semblance or a student getting a little to heavy handed with an attack.

Easily fixable solutions for that would be further testing and making sure the project does not occasionally wander around unsupervised. If Atlas is really out have less children fighting their battles then penny or any Aura using robot is their best bet so far minus paladins minus a remote hack were effective up until velvet and Weiss used weapon works and partial summoning.

The basic robots are less effective then the first year students so they are not going to be all that useful in protecting humanity from a horde of grim.
