2) Also, I view the manticores going down relatively easy to not be a sign of their weakness but rather a sign that the group had gotten stronger.  Oscar, a relative beginner was struggling one-on-one with a single Manticore after all. 1) Ok, then, why shut off all the turrets and not merely the ones that were not in the back cars? Wouldn't they have helped keep the Grimm at the back like the heroes wanted?

Plus they could've helped them deal with the Sphinx, and thus it wouldn't have ended up sending the whole trip off the rails. Honestly, that's my question too, but considering how little damage the turrets actually did to the Sphinx, I think they would have just been an annoyance and possibly counterproductive by disrupting RWBY's rhythm.
