What I was thinking is that, I don't know if that's in line with RWBY's lore but, Adam, angered at being outwitted by team RWBY and consumed by his hatred of humans, mutates into a sort of gigantic human-Grimm hybrid they must take down.

He would transform in front of several of White Fang, including Ilia and he would attack humans and Faunus indiscriminately as he might have tapped into some kind of dark Grimm power to use in his campaign but has corrupted him over time - sort of a representation of how his own anger and hate consumed him until no humanity was left. Something like that? I like your idea, but as an Adam fan, obviously, I hope that won't happen. As silly as it may seem, I still have hope for Adam. And by that I mean like I still have some hope that he's not gonna die in the end but the chances of him getting redeemed we slim to none. That would be quite interesting for everyone else to watch, yet pure heartbreaking for me. If Adam really was supposed to be somewhat similar to the beast in beauty in the beast, maybe him turning into that monster/Grimm form could be reference to that, and possibly Blake convinces him to turn back into a human and he suddenly has a change of heart but gets wounded. Instead of getting healed though, like in the movie, he just dies. This is just a theory of mine beaded off of what you said, and I know it's not gonna happen, but it's interesting to think about.
