Ooh, here's an interesting idea: It tries to hit Qrow, but Jaune jumps in the way and accidentally activates his Semblance.

I'd actually kinda like it if his Semblance is revealed from him defending someone else rather than himself. I can get behind that if they do it right but still don't want it to become a all mighty deus ex machina and causes its death. I can see it being a contributing factor but I don't want him to be like "well it can't hurt me now so I will just walk up to it then hack it to bits while my friends stand back and don't help like slack-jawd idoits.
