So I was listening to the opening of Volume 2 and I began to form an idea when I got to that part when the singer asks if they (the students presumably) are just weapons used by someone else to claim victory. So this is kind of important as it makes us question if the Hunters are really as good as we think they are, but we'll get back to this.

In this next volume, we seem a kind of three way battle in the city. Mr. White seems like he wants to sell his upgraded robots to anyone willing to buy and doesn't believe that the Hunters-in-training aren't strong enough to win a war, which he thinks is coming. Lets assume that the White Fang have stolen a large war-robot from Mr. White and plan on unleashing it on the city, as seen in the opening. Lastly Ozpin feels that such a show of force would scare people instead of making them feel safe.

So in the opening we see RWBY fighting the giant robot in the second half of the trailer and we can guess that they win. However before that this robot flings cars off the highway and may cause untold amounts of damage. The real question is who stands to gain the most from this series of events? Forget it, I'll just tell you...

Ozpin stands to gain the most. Mr. White looks bad because one of his war-machines was stolen by a group of terrorists, especially considering his company makes security robots. The White Fang look more like a threat because they now have a giant war machine, but it would also be reported that it was stopped by Ozpin's students. Ozpin then gets recognition that his students (first years no less) were able to save the day, his students are better than robots, and they managed to stop a White Fang plot. Could Ozpin be using the students and Hunters for his own ends, which as of right now are unclear.
