That means that if Penny 2.0 becomes a thing, they could potentially do Maiden powers for her, which could effectively simulate a Semblance. Well, for starters, "synthetic" Aura is an assumption. As is almost everything about Penny, since RT is so informative.

We don't even know what would've happened if Pyrrha got Amber's Aura transferred to her. For all we know, she would've exploded. Now, Penny has her own Aura, so if a Maiden's Aura, and thus powers, were transferred to something like Penny, the result would likely be the same.

Meanwhile, if they are transferred to some synthetic empty shell with no Aura, then beyond the obvious advantages of a robot body over an organic one, there would be next to no advantages. I mean, the only real difference between Penny and any other Hunter is that she's made of metal.

Plus it could make it more impractical to, say, use Lightning. Fire. Water. It would shock yourself and KO you. It would overheat you which would make you work faster but with potential risks. It would oxydate you, or rust you, however you say it.

Maidens were already not OP. At least, pussy Maidens like Amber who don't go all out until they start getting their ass kicked for real, and then become pussies again the moment they get hit in the face once. Sure, Maidens were powerful, but not even close to unbeatable.

A Penny-Maiden would be likely even weaker, due to the problems their own robot body would cause when mixed with their powers.
