It is not that reasonable to presume it could revive her even if Atlas had the tech to bring someone back to life who died in such a manner (gonna turn out we can do it in the real world isn't it?). Part of the issue is her cause of death. Given that it was sudden and immediate, the obvious cause would be heart failure yet it didn't hit her heart. That would mean the most likely explanation is that it was heart failure due to shock. People in the real world can and have been revived in such cases. One thing I have considered is that the pod could jolt her body with electricity to try and restart her heart.

2. Yes Ruby is OP. She is also the main character, which sadly makes it to be expected. Having a character as strong or stronger than Cinder though would in this scenario make one expect Ambyrrha is going to off her. Which is kinda shit for a character being introduced this late with the build up for some Silver Eye exposition and power showing (let's face it more is going to be shown of it next volume) to just steal it from Ruby.

We aren't really late into the series. Though I think being late would make no difference, the expectation is that there may be ten Volumes at least already mapped out. Ruby is most likely going to take on Salem at the latter part of the series, so it is not as if we are completely taking away her thunder.

3.Also almost forgot, if Pyrrha is inside and essentially absorbed into Amber with barely any of Pyrrha if any at all, how is it relevant to the main characters? Amber is unlikely to care about the main cast so why would she interact with them?

Look back and you will see I talked about her consciousness disappearing, but her feelings and memories remaining. That is, Amber would have the feelings and memories of Pyrrha in addition to her own, but it would only be Amber's consciousness that persists.

4. You would have to devote an episode to just her escaping Beacon, no doubt about that otherwise it is just going to come across as skimming it. So yes there would be a bit of time involved with that.

I don't think it would take a whole episode. At most I could see four minutes, but I think it could be done in just one minute. You only really need to explain how Amber was revived and infused with Pyrrha's Aura, with the escape being so open-ended in terms of a necessary explanation that you wouldn't even need to focus much on it.

5.Speculating that the machine could revive Amber is quite outlandish, would not make sense to add it as a feature and nothing in the show suggests it could.

How is it outlandish? It makes perfect sense that something meant to keep a person alive would be capable of resuscitating that person as well.

6. They're speculating (when not stating facts) true, but when one form of speculation is commonly accepted to be more reasonable and likely than an other, then the other speculation is criticised.

The problem isn't being criticized, but the manner of criticism. Much of the criticism relies on a whole host of assumptions and speculation that are treated as some sort of irrefutable truth.

7. Also that machine is clearly not like a car, if I remember right it had a like sealing feel to it when Pyrrha entered the other pod, it does likely require the door to be sealed to activate whatever it does.

It would need to be sealed in order to transfer Aura, I expect, but that doesn't mean it needs to be sealed for all of its functions. Emergency functions such as resuscitating a person soon after death would not be much use if they were dependent on a glass door being shut.
