^I agree there is no likely endgame, however both characters seem very straightforward in their approaches to problems, so it seems to me there is 1 issue with them having a ship that is easily bypassed;

initiation-if mercury is asked to target Yang/RWBY he will likely test her or attempt a relationship before going straight for the kill. Or if Yang assumes he can lead her to her mother or he(Cinders team) is mentioned by raven she may attempt to infiltrate through him.

the thing is that since Yang is an MC and Mercury is part of the main group of villains character interaction is kind of a given at this point (unless he dies first, but as the only "confirmed" death is not an established character or villain that seems Really unlikely), most people seem to overlooking the fact that as team JNPR was added on relatively late and the show already has 10 seasons of story most of the "high level"(world ending/changing) storyline stuff will be likely routed through RWBY while JNPR has mostly filler(how the world works, domestic issues, etc.) or the "faraway perspective"(the stuff that could be holding the fort or frontlines while RWBY makes a game-changer) for at least these first few seasons.

anyways, my point is the question is only if one of them feels a need to have a relationship with the other, because at that point the one that does will do everything they can to make it happen, the only thing very unlikely is that the relationship survives long enough to progress to a point an Amalgam shipper will be happy, the extremely unlikely would be that the relationship survives beyond maybe 1-2 seasons(or however long that kind of arc goes, which I suspect won't be beyond season 3)
