Weebling mentioned robots "with souls." I believe meaning to imply that Remnant wants to create multiple Pennys. We've seen no proof that Remnant can or even intends to create multiple Pennys. She may be the first and last of her kind like Sonny, the dreaming android on I, Robot.

But I would have to imagine if they did that creating multiple "soulbots" would be within the same vein as cloning and would be more expensive. Technology is increasingly expensive the more advanced it becomes.

At the same time, using "machines with souls" as military personnel (glorified terminology for cannon fodder) would result the same ramifications as using clones. Basically, rather than having an army of Terminators, one would have an army of Autobots (autonomous robotic lifeforms, as Prime would say).

On the other hand, clones would be a lot harder to repair as "spare parts" would have to be cared for using particularly tedious methods and the process of adhering said parts to injured clones would be a slow process with a large margin for error. Repairing robots would be a lot less inconvenient. And, once again, robots don't need to eat, drink, breathe, sleep, shower, or wear extraneous equipment (clothes).

I don't have a point. I was just, y'know, sayin'
