If that is the case... and if Penny is a robot... What if Penny was made by the same company that made the robots in the Black Trailer? She's an experimental new type of battle robot, designed to fight people like the White Fang. You might have just struck gold there. Perhaps Penny is an experimental robot created by the SDC's contractors to be, well.... actually effective in combat. She's self-aware, she can think for herself, and she has a kickass weapon. The only problem is (from her creator's hypothetical perspective), she's too trusting.

Maybe she's missing that final implant that will make her a logical, cold killing machine (and granted, she still wouldn't look very threatening, but maybe they're playing for uncanny). Perhaps Penny, as the ultimate backlash defense against the White Fang, is going to have to fight team RWBY.
