Adeel Zubair Posted April 24, 2015 My LEGO Iron Man Hulkbuster MOC has been brought straight out of 2015's biggest blockbuster 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron.' The Hulkbuster is fan-favourite from Stark's hall of armour. The Mark XLIV Armour (codenamed Veronica, also known as the Hulkbuster) is Tony Stark's forty-fourth Iron Man suit. The suit was designed to match the incredible strength of the Hulk should he ever need to be taken out, being powered by over eleven Arc Reactors in order to grant the strength required for such a task. It's a modular suit this is operated from within while being linked to the Mark XLIII Armour. Using an independent propulsion system, each limb can fly to the user and automatically assemble into being composed of individual parts, the XLIV is still able to sustain extreme damage from the Hulk, unlike the XLII. Iron Man strides forward to grapple with the green-skinned Avenger, leg pistons cranking and his right arm stretching out to make contact. While the resemblance to the classic Iron Man armour is readily apparent (especially in the dark red and pearl gold colour scheme), the Hulkbuster takes it to a whole new level with a towering frame, thick armour plating. The Iron Man Hulkbuster stands nearly over twice the size of the Hulk bigfig to tower over his allies and enemies alike. Stark's latest and greatest battle suit lumbers across a brick-like display base, punishing the ground with it's terrible weight. I believe the Hulkbuster is one of the most impressive display pieces I've ever designed. This Hulkbuster MOC started when the initial pictures of the 'LEGO Marvel, Super Heroes - The Hulkbuster Smash' set were released. I understand that LEGO has to make their sets study and have plenty of play features to keep the kids entertained but as a movie accurate model it wasn't quite right: too simple and bulky. From then on I set myself a task to build a definitive Hulkbuster using the printed dome that is included. My first goal was to get it in scale with the Hulk bigfig however when I approached the end of the design process I realised that it was slightly shorter than the LEGO Hulkbuster. After having a look at a few other LEGO Hulkbuster MOC's I realised that when using the printed dome piece at the scale of the Hulk would make the final model look chibi and not realistic; therefore I stuck with my outcome. The inspiration for the presentation of the final model came from Kotobukiya's model statues of the Hulkbuster and the Hulk based on 'Avengers: Age Of Ultron' movie. I was originally going to just use the Hulkbuster since the Hulk bigfig is way too small and has very limited movement. I guess putting it in context and pairing it up with the Hulk bigfig creates a fierce battle scene! Credit and a big thank you goes to Hot Toys for providing extensive views and details of their movie accurate model of the Hulkbuster which made possible to get it movie accurate as I could.

anakin066 Posted April 25, 2015 Will you build another hand for the hulkbuster? Your use of mixel joint can accomodate the 'binding' hand used on the hulk, though I am not sure how to build one. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wilson3a10 Posted April 25, 2015 Nice one! Spoiler below! The second hand is in round shape with golden strips. It would be nice to see someone's making the round shape rapid fire hammer arm (what it should be called?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steph 104th Posted April 25, 2015 I love how mechanical your Hulkbuster looks. This is one of my favourite scenes of the film, and not just because it was filmed here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gespy Posted April 26, 2015 They should make a set of this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks guys, do understand that LEGO has to make their sets study and have plenty of play features to keep the kids entertained but as a movie accurate model it wasn't quite right: too simple and bulky.

Legocity2713 Posted May 3, 2015 I agree, Lego had to factor in playability and stability and I applaud them for it, the set is amazing. However, if you are going for less of a, for lack of a better word, functional model and more of an accurate and displayable model, yours is top notch. Excellent work my friend. Also can't wait to see that other arm you're planning. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robin Creations Posted May 4, 2015 Wow, I love that Hulkbuster! My only suggestion would be to have made the ground broken up by non-masonry bricks, but just a minor quibble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
