Why Didn't Tony Use Hulkbuster In The Final Battle Of AOU?

Why Didn't Tony Use Hulkbuster In The Final Battle Of AOU? is it because the suit was destroyed? or was it because it would be over to easy? or because ultron wouldnt even be scratched by it? or maybe it was because it wouldnt be able to fight ultron since it was made for hulk, idk maybe

Because it’s the Hulkbuster, not the Ultronbuster

DecoyOne2025-11-17 05:05

As opposed to when Banner used it in Endgame, when it was the Hulk, Buster.

ConflictResolutioner2025-11-17 05:51

Oooooh, good one.

Are you a bot?

ConflictResolutioner2025-11-18 18:28

Nope I'm real. . .just expressing a sense of humor that's obviously not embraced at this point & time.

googly_eyed_unicorn2025-11-17 06:34

To be fair, Hulk wasn’t coming out to help Hulk, so it was a last minute substitute

ownersequity2025-11-17 15:15

Which was a brilliant way to sideline Hulk.

Drago_1332025-11-17 15:54

I just watched brave new world last night and they fucking fumbled hulk so god damn hard man. I enjoyed the movie but not having hulk in endgame or the movie that introduces red hulk is fucking stupid

SpookyFarts2025-11-17 18:00

[They were supposed to have smart Hulk in Avengers: Infinity War](https://youtu.be/Kyn0m9_yaHQ?si=Y58JD_WifOEFS2kB). It got cut from the movie because it distracted viewers from the sad feelings later on in the movie, allegedly

Necessary-Tutor-97942025-11-17 07:19

right, like the whole point is the hulk taking on ultron, not the suit doing it, lol

theoneandonlyamateur2025-11-17 07:52

>As opposed to when Banner used it in Endgame

He used it in Infinity War, not Endgame. He was Smart Hulk in the latter.

SecretWarsIsComing2025-11-17 08:15

These are confusing times.

HennoGarvie882025-11-17 11:13

He wears the suit still in the opening of Endgame. Not a huge moment, but he's grabbing Thanos when Thor takes his arm off

theoneandonlyamateur2025-11-17 11:17

>He wears the suit still in the opening of Endgame

Ah, I stand corrected. Good catch !

qlionp2025-11-17 08:59

Banner used it because Hulk was busted

God dammit. Take my upvote and get out. 😂

Duh

mrbaryonyx2025-11-17 21:16

I feel like every now and again there's a "why didn't Tony use Hulkbuster against X (Ultron, Thanos, Cap)" thread, and the answer is always the same: because he wasn't fighting the Hulk, duh.

the Hulkbuster is not the "best" Iron Man armor, it's specialized armor meant for fist-fighting the Hulk while the rest of VERONICA subdues him. It's not very fast or agile or quick-thinking and it doesn't have a lot of ranged weaponry.

Buhos_En_Pantelones2025-11-17 04:57

The arm got ripped off, no time to repair it.

ConflictResolutioner2025-11-17 05:52

Oooooh, good one.

VelocityGrrl392025-11-17 07:14

Are you trying for the most downvotes in this sub?

Honest-J2025-11-17 04:57

It was meant for brute strength and Tony didn't need that in the final battle. He needed to outsmart Ultron.

ConflictResolutioner2025-11-17 05:53

Ooooh, good one.

NotAStatistic22025-11-17 07:02

Except they win the final battle with brute strength. They say in the movie that all of Ultron needs to be destroyed to win. The big team up shot for the final battle is literally them dumping all of their beams into Ultron.

Did you not watch the film?

Jabberwocky4162025-11-17 07:44

Those Ultron bodies were light and fast. A big hulking armor like the Hulkbuster would not be agile enough to defend the position. While the armor can combat the hulk, it’s not super useful against multiple foes. We saw what happened when Banner tried to use it in Wakanda, he got swarmed and couldn’t get out without help.

Ill-Kaleidoscope48252025-11-17 12:40

In essence, the hulkbuster is fezzik.

Kobe_curry242025-11-17 07:46

They beat him multitudes of ways first they took the body then they use the stone to bring vision to life then visions locked him out the systems which stopped him from duplicating at that point it was just a battle Which he stlll was going to blow up the world

randmperson22025-11-17 05:02

Because it was heavily damaged in the fight with Hulk and VERONICA was destroyed (or at least also heavily damaged) so the suit could no longer auto-fix itself.

ConflictResolutioner2025-11-17 05:52

Oooooh, good one.

CloneTrooperZ162025-11-17 19:02

I've never seen someone with over 100 downvotes.

TheFantasticWer2025-11-17 20:09

Go look for the EA comment with 100k+ downvotes haha

Edit: 668k downvotes actually

mrbaryonyx2025-11-17 21:17

bet that guy really felt a sense of pride and accomplishment

TheFantasticWer2025-11-17 21:17

Probably got fired for it 😂

FX1142025-11-17 05:11

What purpose would it have served in that fight?

AdaptedInfiltrator2025-11-17 05:22

Always wanted to see Hulkbuster vs Vibranium Ultron. The 2 heavyweights of AOU that didn’t fight each other but put beat downs on the 2 strongest Avengers

oorza2025-11-17 05:38

When did Ultron put the beat down on Hawkeye?

MSport2025-11-19 03:25

The snow plow story was a cover up

HUNGWHITEBOI252025-11-17 05:22

I always figured Hulkbuster was slower but harder hitting. Ultron was quicker than Hulk so he needed a quicker suit to fight with

Able_Resident_12912025-11-17 12:45

We kind of see this when Banner is driving it in Infinity War, where he is quickly overwhelmed by the fast-moving alien dog things

CubismSquared2025-11-17 05:26

It was all but destroyed against Hulk. The end of that fight is Tony being told that he’s about to get absolutely destroyed and needs to end this thing before the suit fails completely.

0x424d422025-11-17 05:29

Two main reasons.

1. It was purpose built, and highly optimized for fighting *the Hulk* (I mean, it’s on the tin).
2. It got pretty fucked up in said fight with the Hulk.

Gumichi2025-11-17 05:35

Why didn't Ultron?

demon_kite2025-11-17 05:37

It would be the same thing as trunk vs cell in dragon ballz, he sacrificing speed for power,

Wtygrrr2025-11-17 05:40

Because it’s a gimmick, and that part of the movie was over.

It was downvoted for just dragging the joke on.

True,true

Taking more than a sentence to deliver a message is definetly a big mistake,you got me there

hell20_2025-11-17 06:05

Because Tony Stark's speciality is getting busted in a Buster suit at the end

GiveMeSomeSunshine32025-11-17 06:08

Because Tony Stark always learns from his mistakes.

IJustWantADragon212025-11-17 06:23

Probably because it was damaged. Also it’s not very agile and he didn’t need that kind of strength to fight Ultron. Speed and wits were more important.

CashNo69602025-11-17 06:54

the name suggests why he didnt use it

Long-Dig-38192025-11-17 07:14

He didn’t feel like it. He’s a person with taste emotions moods and feelings.

Maybe he just didn’t feel like wearing that suit that day.

Longjumping-Salad4842025-11-17 07:17

he's stupid

xGhostCat2025-11-17 10:01

It was destroyed thats why

MotherStick64002025-11-21 11:41

yeah, ok pal 😂

xGhostCat2025-11-17 09:58

The Hulkbuster AND the Veronica satellite were both destroyed in the fight when Hulk punched the replacement buster body at Veronica crashing it.

ownersequity2025-11-17 15:18

Yeah Veronica must have been made out of Balsa Wood or something. It shouldn’t have been destroyed that easily.

xGhostCat2025-11-17 15:19

Hulk Threw an entire torso modules at it during flight. A torso module designed to withstand the hulk so yeah, no shit it crashed.

happytrel2025-11-17 10:26

Hulk fucked it and its support cruiser up earlier in the film and Tony was a little distracted with Vision.

Plasticglass4562025-11-17 16:36

Years ago, when Age of Ultron was coming out, Whedon [talked about](https://www.slashfilm.com/537550/best-hulk-scene/) how the scene in AoU's script that always got people fist bumping and excited had to be cut. It was a Hulk moment and it was everyone's favorite scene in the script, but it just didn't work out with the pacing of the final film, especially Bruce and Natasha's last scene. Whedon explicitly wouldn't say what the moment was, because he talked to Marvel about them using it in the next Avengers film without him.

Well, take this with a grain of salt, but what I have heard rumbled over the years is that the scene would have essentially been something like this: Hulkbuster shows up to fight Ultron. Ultron defeats Hulkbuster easily and rips off the front plate, revealing... Bruce! At which point, he Hulks out and BURSTS out of the armor, grabbing and smashing Ultron in the process. You can see why this would not fit the final version of the movie too, where Natasha purposefully makes Bruce Hulk out in Act 3 instead.

The funny thing is that Marvel DID almost put this in the next Avengers film, like, really, really close. Hulk busting out of the Hulkbuster armor made it so close to Infinity War's final runtime that they made toys of it. It's why the CGI of Bruce in the suit in the last scene looks so awful. You can see the very, very rough animatic of the original scene [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kyn0m9_yaHQ).

Buffalax812025-11-17 19:05

More mobility to explore a flying city. More speed because he’s on a clock.

pokersharp872025-11-17 19:17

Probably wanted to be more agile to fight the army. He needed to be able to fly and maneuver for all those bots

SunSea32912025-11-17 20:31

I mean why would he? It's not what he needed for that fight

samhouse092025-11-17 21:08

So the movie can happen!

demonoddy2025-11-17 21:42

It was pretty destroyed right ?

ThatOneTypicalYasuo2025-11-18 03:46

Same reason why triathlon athletes dont wear American football protective gears

CarlosH462025-11-18 12:52

We see exactly what happens when this thing fights a swarm of nimble, human-sized enemies - it gets overwhelmed. Banner was piloting the upgraded Hukbuster in Infinity War and the outriders took it down in *minutes*.

WatchingInSilence2025-11-18 15:21

It was wrecked by Hulk, having barely won their fight. Also, it lacked the typical rapid mobility of his Tony's other suits. The fight inside the chapel to keep Ultron from launching Sokovia into the planet would have been cramped for the other Avengers.
