 * 1) There isn't much evidence to suggest that the White Fang built that large mech. Based on the Black Trailer, we know that larger mechs do exist and it is much more likely that the White Fang stole that mech from whoever made it. As seen in the trailer, that one guy apparently specializes in making combat robots and believes a war is coming; all the more reason to build a giant battle robot.
 * 2) I wouldn't consider Penny's group to be allies. Ozpin and Mr. White (the robot guy in the trailer and opening) seem to have opposite views on how to deal with future events. Mr. White believes in overwhelming force to stop his enemies and Ozpin seems to believe that such a show of force would scare people instead and would like to prevent war. Penny herself sees Ruby as a friend, but Penny doesn't speak for her faction.
 * 3) We don't actually know that those are the biggest Grimm out there. Keep in mind that Ruby and Weiss were forced to retreat from a pack of Beowolves, Pyrrha ran from the Death Stalker despite being a repeated champion in some tournament, and Cardin's entire team ran from an Ursa Major instead of fighting. Even team RWBY and JNPR decided to run from the Grimm instead of fighting them originally and only actively attacked once backed into a corner. We were also told during a Production Diary that we would see what the Grimm are really capable of.
 * 4) You don't need to go to Beacon to be on the same level as a Hunter, as shown by Cinder. Like any organized group, the White Fang probably have their own power-houses they can deploy. So far all we have really seen are the mooks sent to help Roman collect Dust. The White Fang also seem to rely more on technology to balance out any lack of skill, using armed airships during the finale of Volume 1 and having a large mech in Volume 2 as well.
