What I want to know is what the hell those wires are made of that they managed to crush through Penny before breaking. You'd think that Atlas who whoever would has stress tested Penny against her wires just in case.
Also, I kinda question that illusion. Maybe it was just Pyrrha's mental state but the way those swords just materialized would be a little suspect to me. Even setting that aside, Pyrrha's Force Push not only knocking aside the blades but wrapping the wires just so around Penny and having enough force to tear through her seems rather... convenient.

Because she didn't know she was made of metal and it didn't look like there was that much metal on her.
Better yet, why didn't Pyrrha's Magnet Slam also push Penny back?
In retrospect, nothing about that sequence makes any sort of sense.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Pyrrha didn't know Penny was a machine so why would she try to magnet her when she's seemingly just wearing a cloth outfit?
Likewise Penny probably wasn't EMP shielded because they didn't expect her to ever run into a magnetic power strong enough to be a problem. Remember Pyrrha's magnetic power was a little known secret that she kept under wraps but being subtle about it.
In fact Penny's whole death kind of factors into the whole secrets being bad thing. Ruby for once kept her mouth shut and kept Penny being a secret from everyone, even WBY and JNPR. Not only would they not have cared, but Pyrrha would have known better than to use her magnetic ability on her.
Likewise if Pyrrha had been more public about her power Penny or Ironwood would have forfieted because they would have known of the danger. Instead everyone went in blind and a disaster happened.
What still gets me is that Penny's bisection somehow "killed" her, when there was no damage to her head. She has less durability than a Cyborg made with 1940's Nazi technology.
A corpse should be left well enough alone...I reiterate: Why didn't Pyrrha's Magnet Slam also push Penny back? Knowledge of who's what or who can do what wouldn't have changed this.

Maybe the Amazon's power can be applied to specific collisions...selectively.
Or sticking to the rules caused an oversight.

Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.Honestly, the fact that Penny wasn't galvanized was odd to be honest. You'd expect someone like her to be, especially since she's basically walking military-grade hardware.
Yeah, I agree. Though to be honest, even if they did, I doubt Ironwood would have been able to pull strings (heh) to make it so that Penny didn't. Also, even if there were physicals and people knew about the prosthetics, what happened with Mercury and Yang still would have caused a massive shock.

We're suppose to assume that the teachers don't know their students' specialities and that those test along with those sparring matches aren't very common.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.You know, I really don't understand how Emerald's illusion powers work. What Yang thought was happening and what actually happened were completely different. Was she actually being locked in a dream while being controlled or something?
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!When she gave Yang that illusion, she placed the Merc farther away...
The only conflicting thing there seemed to be his positioning.

Or she could've cut the illusion the moment Yang looked away...it's really not going to concern anyone exactly how a guy writhes in pain on the ground when you're getting negative attention.

But I just remembered a thing one of my friends said as a joke in response to one of my OCsnote was "So.... Does she say when explaining her many augs to RWBY and JNPR that her hands come with a vibrate setting?"
And after some thinking, I decided that she does, leading to a Spit Take from Weiss. Whether she's serious or not is to be determined.

For a military made machine, I'm surprised that Penny wasn't EMP hardened/shielded. Then again, if Atlas hasn't dabbled in EMP generating devices... they probably wouldn't have known about the effects of an EMP on machinery.
