This sounds like Mysterio, but isn't Spider-Liv!Mysterio our dweeby high school friend with a massive OC world that he spends all his time imagining and updating? Could be a Sorceror Supreme with the Cloak of Levitation, given Sketch's magi-tech stuff in the past, but i don't have a solid read from "red cloak, kinda techy".
 
I have a hard time imagining why the Sorceror Supreme would involve themselves in something as 'street-level' as a shipment of police robots.

Winning the fight doesn't really win us much, we'll probably destroy half the bots doing it and it's not like Stark won't notice. Running gets us noticed too, although safe.
 
Yeah.

We may honestly not have a reason to oppose whoever this is, depending on their agenda; they may be here for the same kind of reason we are. Even if we do have a reason to oppose them, a metahuman fight in the middle of the shipping container will almost certainly leave evidence that the 'bots have been tampered with, defeating our purpose as @FrangibleCover points out.

I don't want to launch directly into a fight.
 
Plus, whoever this is sounds formidable. After what happened with the Red Skull I think we should bear in mind that fights with other metahumans are dangerous and can go very, very badly.

There is a fairly good probability that they're here to interfere with the shipment themselves in some way, in which case we may well be able to compromise, or even jointly fulfill our objectives. I'm pretty sure that if they were working for Stark directly, they'd be escorting the shipment personally, or at least SOME living guards would have been present if Stark were worried enough about the shipment's security.

Though their ability to open the electronic lock IS evidence in favor of them working for Stark, I suppose; there are other ways they could have been able to do it, but "this is a Stark security agent who figured out something had gone wrong" is hardly implausible, though in that case you would think they would have remotely ordered the truck to pull over and sent in SWAT teams and shit.

I mean, we can't be the "Friendly" Neighborhood Spider-Liv if we just punch first and ask questions later. Superior Spider-Liv, different story...

For some reason, I think it's Jubilee.
 
I mean, we can open the electronic lock and we work for Stark.
Yes, but we have a superpower that lets us open the lock for reasons entirely uncorrelated with our employment status.

Broadly speaking, there are only three explanations for why anyone can open the lock:

1) They have a superpower to get in, same as we do.
2) They did black ops shit to get the access codes or spoof the biometrics or whatever.
3) Tony Stark gave them the codes because they work for him.

Our excuse is (1). Theirs could be any of the three.

I actually wonder if they're going to beat the shit out of us because they know who we are and they want to interfere with the shipment.
Like, they assume we're working for Stark? Arachne's public reputation probably isn't very consistent with "works for Tony Stark and guards his cop-bot shipment."

I think it more likely that they are indeed planning to interfere with the shipment, BUT have no idea who we are. And they just assumed immediately on breaking into the place that we're some kind of cyborg commando mercenary Stark hired to guard the shipment.

After all, Stark makes cyberware, and we're apparently just standing here with mechanical tentacles on our back not doing anything visible. From their point of view, if we were going to sabotage the shipment, presumably it would already be on fire. So the lack of visible fire indicates that we want the shipment intact, which would then obviously make us their enemy.
