Hmm. Well, see, none of that is mentioned on the page itself…
 * === Manga ===
 * Chapters 3 and 4 of the manga reveals the armor to be a giant suit of armor created by the Schnee Dust Company and possessed by a strange Possession-type Grimm made by merging several types of Grimm together. When Weiss reveals that she plans on studying at Beacon Academy in Vale as opposed to the school in Atlas, her father and the President's Secretary set up for her to fight the Giant Armor to prove her worth.


 * She then fights the armor the same way as in the "White" Trailer, but the armor has a different design.

I see nothing here that states the thing is *sentient*, but is an artificially created thing composed of armor and some Frankensteinian quilt-work of Grimm. Which even they are canonically no more than mindless beasts attracted to Negative emotions (like sharks to blood in water) until being alive somewhere around a hundred years.

If it is unleashed upon people yet controlled by others, can it truly be considered "homicidal"? I mean, like, any more than a bull kept for bullfighting?

At either rate, neither of its canons really presents it as a Villain.
