Regarding Penny, the more I think about it, the more the 'Gepetto' framework for her creator's motives feels right to me. He was hired to create humanoid killer-bots, either for Cinder's group or for the 'authoriites'. However, his terms were that he gets to keep one with a more sophisticated sentience algorithm that becomes his surrogate 'daughter'.

The question is - was that just a selfish desire or, like the robot in the movie version of I, Robot, is she designed to be the thing that makes sure her 'sisters' don't cause too much harm?
