If the virus took over the commands of the paladins, then the human/faunus operating the mech suits from the inside (like Roman did in Painting the Town) had no control over the suit at all. It's possible were still trapped in there and unable to take back control, or that they managed to climb out to join the other fighters, or that the black queen virus got them kicked out from the cockpit.

Or maybe it's just a completely different machine from the mech suit RWBY fought back in Vol 2?
