Probably cause the mech is not the Uber mech but rather just an elite unit now.

So you'll probably see an army of them marching around and boy, that will be tough to deal with.

Similar to you, Im curious how well a fully trained team will fare against the mech, considering RWBY are pretty much only in their first few semesters... and still managed to demolish the mech, albeit after some strong combo's.
