I don't think any of Peridot's robotic limbs are actually a part of her form. More than any other gem, she has been obsessive with technology. I think she is just a very mthodical, clinical worker. I don't think her motives are necessarily malicious, I think she has a job to do and doesn't want anything to get in her way. She doesn't really think about the morality of what she's doing, just that she needs to get it done. So that does leave her open for redemption if she is finally forced to question why she is doing what she's doing.

I think because she is so meticulous she places more emphasis on technology than gem abilities, her limbs are bionic prostestics (I actually assumed they were until I read on here people thought it was her physical form). Once she detached her leg be know it isn't a 'suit'.

I don't think we've seen any of her gem abilities, MAYBE she can generate electricity like Garnet, but that could be coming from her robot limbs as well. But she hasn't summoned anything from her gem, shape shifted, or shown any other abilities other gems have used. She also is very annoyed when Jasper abandons the experiments just to fight 'Rose', so I think she doesn't really care about gem politics either. Her preference to technology over magic and gem issues I think makes her a gemworld scientist above everything else.
