Of course Ruby took out the Beowolves in the red trailer super easily; they were a prototype and I believe have been referred to as 'baby Beowolves' or 'extremely young and weak', which explains their cannon-fodderness and lack of bone plating which we know comes with age and strength. Ruby taking out those Beowolves is like shooting fish in a barrel - not hard or particularly taxing, just time consuming and probably a bit tedious. They could overwhelm her if they crowded her and got the drop on her, but overall are inneffective.

As for Coco's nerfing after Breach, well. Breach itself was pure Monty and you could say it's "not exactly" her canon strength - he didn't care about how strong she was supposed to seem, he just wanted her to do something badass. The same goes for Penny cutting the Bullhead in half. Monty and Shane were all about the 'Rule of Cool' which then Miles and Kerry had to somehow figure out ways to reign them back in or write it off in the story - which was very difficult when they're only supposed to be 2nd years but they're slicing Deathstalkers into tiny pieces with one pass of a gatling gun.

So no, CFVY's first appearance is not believable in the slightest and they aren't actually as tough as that. It was just Monty being all "I think this would be awesome" without paying any attention to storytelling or consistency, which he was known for doing.
