I just listened to the Afterbuzz, and Lindsay (unless she's confused herself) actually says that there's a war brewing, there are forces trying to take over established government, and Ironwood's idea for Penny is to basically mass produce her (logical, sure) ''to fight on the SIDE OF THE WHITE FANG AND PUSH THE MOTIVATIONS OF ROMAN AND CINDER??? WHAT???''

Just what the hell is going on? I can understand if it's to fight against, but to fight on? The F? In that case there's no wonder Cinder got his hands on the Paladins, the freaking bastard just lent it to them! WHAT?? And he's here at Vale with war machines to do WHAT? And how the fuck does Ozpin not realize that his friend is about... to... oh right. Friends. BUT WHAT THE FUCK? IS THIS REAL? HE DOESN'T EVEN SEEM LIKE THE TYPE.

Sounds like Lindsay's been getting into Miles, Monty and Kerry's "uberplot" folder. Not the Uber-Plot folder, which I bet one animator has, which is entirely filled with large-chested fanart of the entire cast. Yes, that includes Ozpin.

Seriously, though, Lindsay needs to be VEEERY careful not to need a spoiler-tag slapped across her mouth for these sorts of things.

Let it be said, though - Ironwood never came across as trustworthy. The man outright wants to replace humans with robotics in combat positions. I wouldn't be surprised if betrayal is on the cards from him - hell, I'd be more surprised if he's an outright ally. But I'm not entirely convinced that Cinder and Torchwick are working for him. Well, not Cinder at least - she seems a little too "magical" for his line of work. Torchwick, though... he has experience using the Paladin. That was obvious from his control over it. He's probably a shared intermediary.

I don't see Ironwood doing this for a profit, either. More than likely, he's a honorable villain - all of his negative deeds had positive intentions for people other than himself. OR he might just want to take over Vale, I'm not sure.
