I'm addressing Zolnir's points one last time, then ignoring them solely because he's resorting to insults. I'm in this for a debate, not a fucking fight.

An android and a robot is literally the exact same thing. Or rather, it's a subcategory. A gynoid is an android, and an android is a robot and a robot is a machine.

The comment on Penny being a robot was during an AMA on twitter, in which he could only reply yes or no. Someone asked if Penny was a robot, and he said no.

Now, for the "Dust attack" vs truck thing, Force is force. There was VERY obviously force in that explosion, considering it mulches city streets and knocked Ruby back. Thus the explosive has a set amount of force in it. And Ruby simply got knocked back, no worse for the wear. And as for her panicking? As I said before. PIS. Plot induced stupidity. Civilians were shocked by this because THEY don't see that kind of stuff ever. The citizens of Vale/Atlus aren't soldiers, they're not hunters, and judging from how Jaune never had his aura unlocked, and Tucson was seemingly one-shot by Mercury, civilians don't have their auras unlocked, and perhaps don't even know about them.

Your assumptions have no place in a debate thread of this nature. If you can't PROVE she has see through vision, which trust me, you can't, then she doesn't have it. If you can't prove she's stronger than the Atlesian Paladin, then it's still up for debate, and to hinge on that,

"if you think about it seriously, is seriously lacking in brain cells since I repeat, Ironwood is not a man who will allow the creation of a supposedly super android who can't win even a god damn First Year student!"

Mind proving that Penny was simply made to be a soldier? Because Penny VERY clearly stems from Pinochio, would the more reasonable assumption be that the creator made her to be a DAUGHTER before all else? And again, it serves only as an assumption, thus has no place in this thread.

"Oh, and please understand the word 'for the time being' and the word 'one on one'. I won't deny that Team RWBY may become insanely strong in the future, but now? No chance."

...The hell do you even mean with this? I've always been saying these are one on one fights. "For the time being" means with the feats everyone has currently shown. And at the current moment, without a metric fuckton of assumptions, Penny doesn't have enough feats to beat the main cast, who note, has had FAR more screentime to build said feats.

As for the aura discission under the rude man's comment, my current theory on Aura, though unproven, is that it acts kinda like damage reduction. Let's just say you have a full aura at arbitrary cap of ten. From full aura, you get hit by something that does twelve damage, so it's reduced by your full cap and goes down to two damage, which reaches you. Your aura is then lowered, to say... seven. So the next 12 damage attack would instead do 5. It explains why Jaune had aura left, but was still all beaten up. It also prioritises heavy, single attacks to bypass aura instead of smaller attacks. With this theory, a character like Ren would be far less useful against another person. While Nora would deal one strike in the amount of time Ren deals eight, Nora would deal say, 30 damage, and get it reduced to 20, as opposed to Ren who deals say, 8 damage per hit, most of it being nullified by the aura. Just my theory though, and has no bearing on the debate at hand.
