But you meant those specific Goliaths. As well, being so large and powerful, one attack would likely put any member of team RWBY out of commission, since they're basically bigger than smaller iterations of Godzilla, and the size alone means if a single attack doesn't kill any member of the team, I'm calling utter BS. As well, they're likely extremely intelligent, due to having hundreds of years of experience. They'll know that they won't be fast enough to keep up with the little Huntresses, but would also know their strength will overwhelm them with a single strike. And it took dragging a Nevermore up a cliff using Glyph-assisted speed to chop its head off. A Nevermore, with a Goliath being unquestionably more powerful.
