1.Amber is dead. Died so as to release the maiden powers. According to what we have been told and my recollection that is how it works.

2.Pyrrha died quite a bit after Amber. Ambyrrha seems to require Pyrrha's death as well.

Any theory that doesn't involve her being dead or that involves her coming back to life as Pyrrha would go against Word of God. This is the only theory I have seen in this thread and in any discussion of Pyrrha being not-so-dead that wouldn't go against Word of God.

People working on the show have publicly stated that Pyrrha is dead and that Pyrrha's journey is at an end. Amber obviously had to die to transfer the Maiden powers. Pyrrha being essentially subsumed into a revived Amber would not mean Pyrrha's journey has continued and she would still be effectively dead.

3.Is there anything in the show that leads us to believe the machine Amber is in could bring her back to life?

Nothing more than it being quite reasonable that a machine keeping someone alive would have emergency functions capable of resuscitating said person.

4.Narratively speaking, would the in show screen time required to show this and plot time devoted to it even be worth it?

The critics make it seem a lot more complicated than it would be in reality. Every point up to her being revived would be relatively straightforward and even as they focus more on trying to argue that she couldn't escape, there are so many potential avenues of escape that there really is no reason to insist it is impossible or that it would be hard to explain.

5. Wouldn't such an OP character draw a ridiculous amount of screen time after their reappearance to not only addresss 'their struggle' to return but also all the interactions it would require? Not to mention the likely imbalance of power Ambyrrha would have over most other characters, hell two auras would probably put her over Cinder most likely.

To be fair, it is hard to get more OP than being able to turn a dragon to stone just by looking with your special eyes. As long as the result isn't being stronger than Ruby it is good. Being stronger than Cinder or at least equal with her would also be an advantage. That would be a character who could credibly take down Cinder without having one of the mains become a Maiden nor undermining the power of the Maidens.

6.You can't deny the amount of assumptions you yourself are making to try and explain the return of two minor characters who were killed on-screen. One we barely saw and the other who wasn't much of a character without interaction with Jaune.

I wouldn't call Pyrrha a minor character. As far as assumptions, this is all speculation, which is the point of this thread and this forum. Speculating that the machine keeping Amber alive would be capable of resuscitating is not outlandish in the slightest. Speculating that a person's soul returns to that person's body if the person is revived is not outlandish in the slightest. Speculating that two Auras together could be enough to heal the damage caused to Amber where one did not suffice is not outlandish in the slightest. Speculating that this person could find some means to escape alive is not outlandish in the slightest.

The issue is not whether I am merely speculating, of course that is what I am doing as that is all any of us are doing in this thread, but certain people are trying to make the above seem completely impossible based off nothing at all other than their own speculation. When the whole purpose of this thread is speculating going "You're just speculating!" is just plain obnoxious and it even more obnoxious when you try to refute that speculation with speculation then act like your speculation is not speculation.

There is no reason to believe a door would be essential to the functioning of that equipment and it makes no sense for it to be essential. If you rip a door off a car can it no longer be driven?
