Talk:Iron Man armor (Mark XLIV)/@comment-27633112-20160322144513

This Hulkbuster armor is as cool as hell, and the big fight with the Incredible Hulk in Age of Ultron was awesome, but a lot of people have been asking me why the Hulkbuster isn't the standard Iron Man armor for Tony Stark. They don't realize that, because of the Hulkbuster's incredible power and technology and overpowering physical strength, it presents a danger of burning through too much energy too quickly during a prolonged battle. The Hulkbuster may have been able to bulldoze through hundreds of the Iron Legion and even battered Ultron himself - which, now that I think about it, would have made an amazing final fight scene - but it would have only lasted for about 70% of the battle itself. Plus, even against the Hulk, the Hulkbuster did match its opponent several times in the fight - their incredible strength was so evenly matched that when their punches collided they created a freaking shockwave - but Tony had to summon a number of spare parts from Veronica during the fight, meaning that the Hulk would probably have won. Then again, Tony didn't intend to destroy the Hulk - which would have been impossible, even for an armor so powerful - but subdue it and stop it from causing too much destruction.
