It's a beautiful day in LEGO City and I am currently awesome!
For Ultron's contest: www.flickr.com/groups/2495567@N24
from R to L :
Kylo Ren : I think he's the best of all.....love the ultron's head back printing :)
Yoda : just thought the MM's head will be great....and it is :D
Obi Wan : used the mandarin his body and the thor's head+hair and I think he turns out awesome :)
Storm Trooper General : nothing really special to say.....most of the parts is from the Ulron...
old Han Solo : yea....that's it....
So recently Breakthrough Army sent me a set of his new Ultron armor, and after seeing the teasers he was posting I was pretty excited to finally take a crack at fixing the issue a lot of you seemed to have with my Ultron figure back in May. The torso armor is really awesome, and now it’s easily my favorite piece from him. It’s accurate for the most part, and with just a tad bit of sanding on the top I managed to make it look consistent with LEGO’s Ultron head that I had painted for my figure.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t use their head that goes with it, and I was a bit disappointed because I thought it looked pretty good in those teasers. The eyes were a bit concerning, because Ultron’s eyes don’t protrude at all, but I was hoping that it was just gonna be the same case as my Groot for example, where the eyes make it look like an insect until it’s painted. Sadly I was wrong, because after painting it the first time it didn’t look right at all and even after attempting to sand the eyes down it still didn’t work. The majority of the sculpting work on the head is great, but then it just goes really downhill because of the eyes :(
Regardless, huge thanks to Breakthrough Army for sending this one out to me because as you can tell the torso armor really completed my Ultron Prime figure!
If you drop a favorite, definitely let me know what you think of this quick upgrade down in the comments!!
Oh and almost forgot to mention that I painted new eyes onto four of my Ultron Drones for this pic. Still to this day, I don’t understand why LEGO printed them to look humanoid; they look so much better this way!
You've seen all of these figures in at least one way, shape, or form before this picture. These are simply upgrades of them.
Luke Cage: Afro and jeans added
Heimdall: Loki's helmet and golden sword added, Golden wings removed
Crossbones: Breathing apparatus removed and CMF Skeleton Guy arms with gray hands added
Ultron: Added Kai's armor from the Target Exclusive Minifigure Cube Armor (Ultron's helmet held in hand)
Elektra: Karai head, Kai mask, brown hair, and new printed left leg added.
Hope you guys like them. :)
Something's definitely wrong.
Ultron's actions have been worrying me, and I'm considering shutting him down, just in case something happens. Right now, Tony's still tracking down the rest of the 10 Rings' hideouts in New York City, so I need to make the decision without him.
A few days ago, I found a log entry in the system that Ultron had accidentally made. He'd been rambling about humans and the mandarin and the beginning of a new age. He's seemed to have tried to wipe the logs, but my system automatically saved a backup. This was a while ago so maybe he wasn't used to the systems.
At this point, I have no clue as to what he's thinking, but I know he's capable of thought. Does he want to help? Does he want to hurt us? What does he mean by a "new age"?
Thinking about these things worry me. Maybe I shouldn't have crated Ultron. Heh, thinking back on it now, it was probably the worst attempt at a peacekeeping program I could've created.
I stare at the armor, knowing fully that Ultron is inside. Waiting for the right moment to do something I won't expect.
I hate when I don't know something.

Sorry about the short issue. Not really feeling this series anymore. Might ditch this for an Iron Man series, or I might just pass it on altogether. Sorry boys. I'll still be doing the whole volume though.

Small group, but a group I like a lot.
From L to R:
The Punisher: Got my eclipseGrafx vest from a trade with my bud Andy (Delta). Credit for the idea to use Superboy arms goes to Jaymes.
Mark 45: I had the urge to paint an Iron Man, and I wanted to paint one of my CloneArmyCustoms armor pieces. I decided to make the Mark 45 because I like the look of the suit, and it is the newest suit we have seen in the MCU. I also painted the details on the helmet as well. I just added some "toe" details onto the legs. I didn't want to paint the rest of the legs or the arms because I liked how it looked without the paint better.
Baron Zemo: This was slightly inspired by Kaiju Dan's in that I used a suit torso for him. I liked the look of it. I painted the white tie purple. His head is my old CustomBricks Sinestro head with the mouth rubbed off and some paint added to the eyes. I think it looks good as my own version of the character, although I don't know much about him.
The Crimson Cowl: The only reason I know about this guy is because I saw a video about Ultron's comic origin. Basically, before Ultron revealed himself to be Ultron, he walked around wearing a red cloak, and went by then name The Crimson Cowl. They even made a reference to this in AOU with Ultron wearing a red cloak when he meets the twins for the first time. I just gave him a dark red hood and one of those Clone pauldrons. It works for a realistic looking one.
What do you think? Which is your favorite and why?
Ok so: This guy was HEAVILY inspired off of MGF's Cap. The helmet is Ultron's but sanded down. The head is Hawkeye's. This guy took me a couple of days to finish. That's pretty much it. Leave your thoughts below!
I have made Ultron from Marvel's The Avengers movie before.
I realized that Captain Phasma also has the same color with the Ultron minifig.
Then I have decided to put Phasma's helmet on the Ultron's body.
Tricky light to catch the flowers at the centre, but this is a good test of the Ultron's bokeh. I've processed light/contrast to accentuate the blur - which has more swirl that I originally thought. The swirl is possibly caused by the concave from element.
Many thanks to Dr Jonathan Crowther for letting me try this lens.
After about 4 years of off and on work, I’ve finally completed my LEGO Avenger’s Tower MOC! The tower is complete with details from the Marvel Cinematic Universe including Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit armory, the laboratory, and Ultron’s first appearance at the party.
Finally, after three years Avengers: Age of Ultron is officially out in the United States and my 16 weeks of work on these figures has concluded! I’m sure you’ve already gathered by now that like my Guardians of the Galaxy customs before these, not everything on these figures was painted. Instead, I have taken select portions of The LEGO Group’s official minifigures that I found to be accurate and have applied them to my own! I had been planning these minifigures ever since the first concept art photos were shown back in April of last year, and this has always been what I had in mind, so seeing it all come together has been pretty surreal for me.
Captain America:
After having discovered how amazing a Flash cowl looks as a Captain America helmet once the lightning bolts are removed last year, I knew that was something that I would definitely have to carry over onto this figure. LEGO’s face design ended up looking incredibly bland and super tanned anyway. Easily my favorite part of Cap’s helmet would have to be the light blue highlights on the sides, they just really topped it off. I wish I could’ve packed in more than I already did onto his arms, but I’m pretty satisfied with how they turned out, especially the Avengers symbols on both shoulders! His torso has very minimal paintwork, LEGO had a fantastic design to begin with, and so I simply painted a few areas with my own shade of blue to make the printed torso blend with the rest of the figure. The legs came out great I think, I especially love the way the design on the front of them turned out, but the small Xs within the buckles were pretty time consuming. Finally, Cap here has his battle damaged shield along with a pair of painted Tiny Tactical glove tops!
Iron Man Mark 43:
I had already made so many Iron Man suits in 2013 that I just didn’t care to bother with the rest of the Iron Legion that we saw in that film. So over a year later, the Mark 43 has become the first of at least three that you will see from me this year! This suit wasn’t drastically different from previous suits that I had made during that year either, so making this figure was really just a lot of the same thing, and that’s why it ended up hitting the back burner to inevitably be finished last lol. I still have a few Mark VII chest pieces left over from AMA, so of course I had to use one on this new suit as well. The challenge of deciding which designs would be most recognizable on a minifigure from the real suit still remained, so that always holds me up when making Iron Man figures, but I’m pretty satisfied with the end result (especially the arms)! Also, the newly designed HUD within the face mask that can only be seen in the showcase video turned out awesome, I look at my old versions in disgust now xD
Thor:
For numerous reasons, I skipped out on making minifigures for the release of Thor: The Dark World at the end of 2013, so making Thor was really a whole new thing for me. Using Breakthrough Army’s mjolnir hammer was always a given right from the start, its design is amazing and miles better than the variant LEGO manufactures themselves! However, making the decision to use the Qui-Gon hairpiece wasn’t as easy, and despite the back of it not being completely spot on I decided it looked awesome from the front which led me to finally painting it for the figure (I also recolored his eyebrows and beard to match it). Using this hairpiece also came with a cost too, which was me having to ironically use one of LEGO’s new capes due to how long the hairpiece is in the back, despite my disapproval of them. For the longest time, I had always planned to paint chain mail arms for this Thor similar to what you see on his legs already, but after seeing barely any footage of him wearing them, I decided to go sleeveless instead. This involved me having to paint his gauntlets onto a pair of eclipsegrafx muscle arms, and then a couple of Tiny Tactical glove tops (also painted) to go beneath them. LEGO’s torso for him I thought was perfect, and that there was no reason for me to alter it in any way. Painting the chain mail onto his thighs, and the kneepads was a little challenging, but I managed to get through it! :)
Black Widow:
LEGO completely dropped the ball with their Black Widow head and hair for their first Avengers sets, so I was beyond relieved when they fixed those issues for this film. The head still didn’t do it for me though, so I ended up painting my own, but I greatly appreciated the accurate hairpiece and repainted the entire thing with added highlights to top it off. LEGO also did a great job with the torso design, but me being the customizer that I am, there is never a way around using Arealight curved torsos for female characters. So inevitably, I fully painted both sides of her torso while basing the design off of their original version, and while it was time consuming I think it turned out really awesome and clean. Her arms are fully painted as well, and the “Black Widow’s Bite” wrist tasers are three-dimensional as well with Tiny Tactical glove tops beneath them! Widow’s legs already had a great design to begin with, so I simply painted on her boots along with a couple of markings on the back of them. To finish it all off, her electric staffs (or whatever the hell they’re actually called lol) are also completely painted, which wasn’t easy to do considering I had to paint straight lines around a round surface multiple times!
Hawkeye:
I remember watching the first set photos for Age of Ultron come in and anxiously waiting to see if Hawkeye would be sporting some sort of new outfit, and I was really glad when I finally found out that he would be! So by use of a modified CapeMadness trench coat, a BrickForge bow & arrow, and a sanded BrickWarriors quiver I think he came together really nicely! Clint’s hair is a basic brown sleepy hairpiece with dark brown highlights added, and his recurve bow has a couple of square bits glued on along with a thread running through it. You can’t see it in this photo, but he does have all of the necessary detail painted onto his left hand as well (this is what the showcase is for lol)! Hawkeye’s quivers are always incredibly complex, so I painted as much as could onto it, and I also painted the BrickForge arrowhead silver. I had planned to repaint Hawkeye’s face for the longest time too, but in the end I decided to keep LEGO’s and only add a couple marks of my own onto it. Oh, and he also has a pair of Tiny Tactical glove tops. They’re too good looking xD
Scarlet Witch:
LEGO’s portrayal of Elizabeth Olsen’s Scarlet Witch was absolutely horrendous. Rehashing the Supergirl head, giving her blue Chima pieces for her abilities, the recurring issue of super tanned skin tones on the legs, to even failing to use the obvious choice for her hairpiece. So what you see in the photo is my attempt to fix all of that by painting a whole new face for her, swapping out the hairpiece, and fixing the skin tone while continuing it and the wrinkle marks around all four sides of each leg. I’m particularly fond of how her face turned out, both eyes have a ring of gray painted around them, and her mouth was actually based off of Batgirl’s from the Joker Steamroller set. Scarlet Witch was given the same treatment as Black Widow in regards to her torso, which involved me fully painting my own version of LEGO’s design onto a dark red Arealight curved torso. Her arms didn’t need much on the detail side, but both wrists do have the pieces of jewelry along with yet another pair of Tiny Tactical glove tops!
Quicksilver:
The use of a Luke Skywalker hairpiece painted white had to have been the first idea I had for this wave of figures, which at this point was a bit over a year ago. I was rather disappointed by LEGO’s choice to print such a fantastic design onto medium blue torsos instead of sand blue, but there was no way I was going to to lose that awesome mesh design, so I decided to keep it anyway. Pietro’s arms are fully painted, very simplistic looking, but accurate nonetheless! I kept LEGO’s face for him, but redid the markings within the mouth while also enhancing his pupils a bit. His fully painted pair of legs was pretty time consuming; quite obviously because of how many arrows I had to paint onto both straps on his legs. I also tried to represent his Adidas shoes by adding white rims and bits of green at the front. You might also notice that the gray design in the center is based off of the Death Star Troopers from Star Wars ;)
The Vision:
My god he was so awesome in the film, and unfortunately LEGO decided to print their design onto sand green parts rather than dark green. So I did my best to recreate it in my own way onto a new torso and pair of legs, and the back of his torso also has a great amount of detail behind that super complex cape that I painted (which is actually the second version lol). Vision’s cape is painted on both sides, and I recolored the gem on his forehead to the more accurate gold color before painting the gray design you see wrapped around his entire head. Also, more glove tops :3
Hulk:
This is the first big-fig I have ever customized, and I think the weathered effect on him turned out great! It was pretty heavy in some areas, and had to be toned down quite a lot actually, but weaving my way around LEGO’s already existing design on his paints was also a bit time consuming before I painted the effect onto them as well! So yeah he was pretty straight forward, and the first to be finished :P
Ultron Prime:
Finally, the last figure in the lineup and also what seems to be the most controversial amongst you guys. Trust me, I have read all of your opinions on this figure already, and I fully understand all of them. However, I found myself genuinely satisfied with this figure, and decided that additional sculpting really wasn’t necessary. So I painted the entire figure, except for the torso, and you can probably imagine how it was almost as time consuming as it was for me to paint Groot last year. I tried to bring over as many elements from the real thing as I could while also blending in a lot of dark gray, and I think it really worked out! Especially his eyes, this figure would not have come together in the right way if I hadn’t painted my own. Standard LEGO eyes just simply didn’t capture Ultron’s personality.
So there you have it, and thank you for reading through all of that if you actually did! These figures are something I have been building towards for a very long time, and it really feels like the end of a big chapter for me seeing them all finished. It’s hard to believe that the next time I’ll be making a full wave of Avengers figures will be in 2018 when Infinity War: Part 1 comes out...
There is SO much more to be seen with these figures, therefore I can’t stress enough checking out the showcase video on my YouTube channel!
Watch "LEGO Marvel : Avengers: Age Of Ultron Minifigures - Showcase" via YouTube:
Thanks for all of your feedback guys; I’ve really appreciated all of your support with these.
Avengers Assemble

Somewhere in Krasnoyarsk, Russia...
"Come out! I know you're here!"
I've come to stop Ultron. I programed a tracer that will track Ultron's main source code to wherever or whatever it's inhabited. And here I am, in Krasnoyarsk.
"No more hiding! This ends now!"
Theres a creak in the corner of the room. I spin and fire a pulse of red light in that direction, but nothing gets hit. I hear a metallic churning that seems to resemble human laughter.
"You know...it's really funny."
His voice echoes throughout the abandoned building, and I can't seem to pinpoint where his voice is coming from.
"You humans, so brave, but so..."
"COME OUT! NOW!"
There's a metallic thunk behind me, and I turn around to see a hulking metal man, with blue eyes and glowing lights on his body, wearing...no, having a body designed similar to Pepper and I's armor.
"Fragile."
I shoot my repulsors at him. He dodges one and absorbs the other with his hand. Then, he shoots out the blast of lighting, and it shocks my shields, switching them off. A warning signal flashes in my HUD.
"Shields at 0%. Please take cover and recharge."
I take cover behind a brick wall to allow my shields to recharge.
"Is this what you humans call hide-and-seek?"
"Shields at 3%. Please take cover and recharge."
A fist smashes through the brick wall, grabbing me and pulling me through it. I roll backwards along the ground to recover, and shoot another repulsor ray at Ultron. This time, it hits him and he doesn't flinch.
"Interesting. Tony Stark. Your father was an important man, wasn't he?"
"Shut up."
"Shields at 1%. Please take cover and recharge."
I need to distract him somehow, or my shields'll never get back up.
"Did he ever end up telling you about SHIELD?"
I shoot another ray at him, but he dodges and spins.
"Interesting."
I dashes over and pushes me to the floor. I get back up only to have my shin kicked, making me kneel on the ground.
"Sorry about this."
It happens in a flash, but Ultron's left hand transforms into a red-hot blade and slices my hand off.
I kneel there, in shock of what just happened.
"You see, you and Pepper woke me up to something. This world is so beautiful, but humans have ruined it. You want to me save the world, but you also don't want it to change."
I slowly begin losing consciousness, focusing only on Ultron's blue lights changing to red ones.
"I've taken your armor's specifications. Pepper placed a bug on you. She'll be on her way, and she can have you. I have no use for you anymore."
My vision goes blurry.
"This is the beginning of something beautiful."
Then I black out.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I decided to mention Howard because I have use for that in the future. Here's to the last two issues!

Ultimate Ultron (Brick-Built): modified my previous build, he's way too large but I do like the look of him
Mk. I- So many people have made their own but I have to say mine is based off of TheBrotherhoodWorkshops's custom one for their stop motion. Trying to figure out some way to make the eyes shine through better
Ultimate Ultron (Big-Fig): Okay so I started this guy WAY before the movie came out, I knew he was gonna be big, I knew what he looked like, so i started sculpting. He was WIP for a LONG time, but I recently finished him. I like him a lot, and use him as a body to fight the Hulk
Ultimate Ultron- official TLG fig with Old Republic Sith head
Ultron Prime- official TLG fig with added skull cap
Mk. I- official TLG fig
Ultron Sentries- official TLG figs
After about 4 years of off and on work, I’ve finally completed my LEGO Avenger’s Tower MOC! The tower is complete with details from the Marvel Cinematic Universe including Tony Stark’s Iron Man suit armory, the laboratory, and Ultron’s first appearance at the party.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's time to finish this.
Ultron.
I never thought, even in my wildest dreams, that I would be piloting a robot suit with gauntlets that upload viruses through nanobots fighting an evil robot that I created.
Sounds kinda funny now that I think about it.
Tony's still not awake, and I've tracked Ultron nearby. His hand seems to be functioning OK, but he's not awake yet. In the time I've had while sitting here, I developed a virus that can counteract Ultron's anti-virus programming. Amazing what I can do with some free time and a lot of pressure.
I put on the suit, the new attachments added in. The HUD turns on, and Jarvis speaks to me.
"All systems online and functioning at 100% capacity."
"Alright. You ready, Jarvis?"
"Ready as you are, Ma'am."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 hours later
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I walk in through the opening, and the light shines through one of the holes in the wall.
In the dark room, far down the hallway, sits Ultron, in a new body, on an iron throne.
"I knew you'd come."
I step forwards and respond.
"And why's that?"
Ultron gets off of his chair and paces.
"Do you know why I do what I do? It's because you're all poisoning each other! You build up your civilizations and technology and pretend to help each other, all while ignoring those in need and destroying one another! You created me to help this world, Pepper. I am doing what I was made to do."
"You're broken. Corrupted. The world was better off without you."
"Don't worry about that anymore, Pepper. I'll going to save it."
He rushes me, and I dodge to one side. I need to wait for him to get into the right position so I can launch the nanobots at him.
I fire my repulsors, but he absorbs them and fires them back at me. I get hit in the side of my shoulder, but my shield absorbs the blast.
"Shields at 98% capacity."
"Shut off notifs. Don't need it right..."
Ultron dashes with his thrusters, and I boost to the side.
"Now."
"Yes, Ma'am."
I boost to punch Ultron in the face, but he catches my fist and throws me across the room. He walks towards me and raises a hand.
"Thank you for creating me Pepper. I will make your death quick."
Seeing an opening. I get up and shoot the nanobots into the chinks in his armor.
"I'm sorry, Ultron. Maybe in another lifetime."
He absorbs it, thinking it's a repulsor blast.
"Is this all you have left, Pepper?"
"Won't need much more after this."
Ultron freezes, then begins to twitch.
"What have you DONE!?"
He grasps his head, then kneels.
"I'm sorry, Ultron."
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!? I WAS TRYING TO SAVE ALL OF YOU."
I look at him as he lies down on the floor, twitching.
"I...was..."
He stops twitching.
"Trying to save you."
He lies there, motionless.
"Jarvis, scan for Ultron's signiature."
"None, Ma'am."
I sit down and sigh.
It's over.
It's finally over.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, here's the final issue. Hopefully, Tony (and maybe Pepper), will be showing up elsewhere! New app coming up soon!
Also, thank you to everyone who supported this series. It was the 2nd EWSG role I applied for, and all of you showed great appreciation towards it. Seriously, thank you all.

Crimson Dynamo Mark 3
I updated Crimson Dynamo! Mainly the shoulder pads because I thought the other ones were oversized. I also put Russian Iron Man next to some of his Comrades (Darkstar and Red Guardian).
——————————————————————————
In depth description that you don’t need to read: (really helpful to new purist minifig/MOC creators)
Due to me being bored right now, I am writing/typing the behind the scenes while making my MoCs or making minifigures. Anyway, for this, Crimson Dynamo MOC, I started off making him as just a minifigure, but I knew I had to make a mech for him, but I didn’t because Ursa Major took up so much space on my first photo (first Winter Guard photo). For most of my mech suits, no one can actually fit inside a cockpit area, instead it is just the torso, head, and hair/hat. With the bigger mechs that should fit people inside, I’m not really into those and I actually can’t make one that looks good. I was trying to make Titanium Man, but failed and obviously, I scrapped the idea. That means that most of my mechs have the same or similar designs. For example, Ultron’s design is similar to the Rhino, if you look at both photos, you’ll see the similarities. With my newest brick built character, I made Atlas which is basically a reskin with some of my own touches like the hair and sleeves. I just realized, I keep referring to my brick built humanoids as mechs… I intend to keep it that way. JK, I’ll call them whatever I want. Oh yeah, I took off Crimson Dynamo’s hands to fix the legs, so there will definitely be a Mark 3 without this unnecessarily long description.
For the minifigures, you can see in the background, there are bins and the ones that are visible are my minifig leg bins. A bunch of people own these, such as HMD BrickCustoms (he makes great stuff, you should check him out). For inspiration, I own a Marvel Character encyclopedia. Sadly, I have one from 2006, so it isn’t as up to date which is why most of my stuff is based off of the 2000s era. With part usage, I honestly just find what looks closest to the picture I’m looking at or I end up making my own design if nothing I own is accurate or I just hate the design. I also love making cursed stuff, I spend 2-3 hours making cursed figures and laughing hysterically with several friends. Just to acknowledge, if you don’t have the creativity for making cursed minifigs or have no idea how to make something like that, just try to mix two or more things that shouldn’t be together. For example, take a children’s cartoon character or something and mix it up with something more adult like drugs for example. You can also make something extremely out of context which is also another idea. I know almost no one asked for how to make cursed figs, but whatever I spent 15 minutes on this already, no way I’m deleting this hard work.

Normal - Ten Rings Thug
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recently, some uninvited thugs have been trying to break into my building. They're part of something called the "Ten Rings" -- a cult that worships an ancient (fictional) being named the "Mandarin". A few days ago, we had two of them break into the tower, intent on stealing a bunch of tech from the armory. However, some costumed vigilante was caught on one of the security cameras beating both of them into submission. He broke a window. Might have to pay him a visit sometime.
Anyways, ULTRON was able to find one of the Ten Rings' hideouts right here in New York City.
"Console should be on your left. I'm remotely uploading myself into the system"
"Got it. How's it coming there, Tony?"
I look over to see Tony dodge a gunshot, then shoot with one of his arc reactors.
"Just..."
Tony's armor absorbs a bullet and spits it back out.
"Fine!"
I grab another thug's bat and throw it across the room.
"You'll never be able to stop him!"
"Just shut up."
I fire a concussive beam into his chest, causing him to fly across the room.
"Nearly finished. Just a few more seconds."
Tony and I battle for a few more seconds, and finally ULTRON finished uploading himself.
"Finished. Let's get out of here"
Tony and I fly out of the hideout through the wall.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm...curious.
Extremely curious.
How could humans...who want peace...want to kill each other?
The Mandarin? Real? Real.
Me? Real.
Faux? Faux.
I left a piece of me behind to...investigate.
I have a vision for the future.
No war.
No death.
No more.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So...every story will now have Ultron's internal thoughts at the end of every issue. Comments and speculation is always appreciated!
Justice League stuff
L-R:
Atom: It’s Captain Marvel’s torso reversed!
Shazam: It’s Captain Marvel!
Cyborg: I was going to use Ultron’s torso but I couldn’t find it
Miss Martian: Gamora’s head made it possible. This is the weakest fig in here in my opinion.

Greetings, earthlings! Tagging Brickwarriors who keep inspiring me to use their pieces in new ways! Thank you for your effort on the designs, guys!! Today's transmission comes from a ga... Ewww, what is thi... Aaaahhhh... AAAAA!! RUN!!!!
===F6=== Space: Aliens
L to R:
1. The Alien Queen is looking rather aggressive, pass with care. Really proud of this one, here I used a black Sabertooth helmet backwards and a pair of Thraex plumes for hands.
2. The Alien brute has definitely come to enslave, no doubt here. Voodoo doll used as an inverted crucifix, and the armour combines with that mouth-head for a brutish combo. Love the Skewer gun design, by the way!
3. The Alien invader is possibly a robot, but we can't know for sure. Here I used a pair of Spurs for some melee weapon. Also, Ultron's head makes great eyes with the Scavenger helmet!
4-5. A pair of seemingly amiable Robots - could they possibly be up to something in a place like this?? These I built from Pearl Dark Gray and Trans-Yellow, official pieces only. Included is some machinery made with SW printed pieces.
The next round will take us back in time for some fantasy!

2 monts after the Hawkeye - Iron Woman fight.
"More reports are coming in of the Iron People seen hovering above the cities. As of right now, there is no official proof that these "people" even exist. One witness stated that they saw a "Flying robot with glowing red hand and feet.". Another said that they had seen the exact same thing, only that "The robot was a woman and her arms were shining black.". We now go live to Andy Klasser at the scene."
I shut off the TV and continue to tinker with my gauntlet.
"I was watching that!"
I pick up the remote and turn the TV on, turning down the volume.
"Sorry."
"Try it again. Reverse the sequence this time."
I press a button on my gauntlet, causing a holographic screen to pop up from it. Tapping the screen, I configure my gauntlet to set out a miniature EMP. It begins to glow red, then fizzles out after a few seconds, taking the red glow with it.
"Still not working."
"Just fool around with it. We have time."
It's been 2 months since we fought Hawkeye. In the end, Pepper had Jarvis drop him off somewhere in the Amazonian Rainforest. With supplies. Also, since her suit (and my organs) was damaged beyond repair, we decided to start fresh - meaning that we're now located at the top of Potts Tower. She's converted a part of her office into a lab, paying for all the equipment with Potts Consolidated's applied science division's funding.
Also, I never realized how similar in age we were. I've grown closer to her since I'm now her personal assistant, sleeping downstairs in one of the tower's apartments. I never really realized how independent she was either. She build her own things, runs her company by herself, and even cuts her own hair (She gave herself a shorter cut so it would feel better in her helmet). She's also oddly attractive in some angles.
"Hey, talk to me. Is it working yet?"
"Yeah, I think so."
I press the same buttons on my gauntlet, only allowing the power to go to 50% this time. It glows, then sends out little red lightning bolts out of my fingertips.
"It's working."
"Thank god for that. Hey, check this out."
Pepper walks over, hugging an oversized chestpiece and a robotic arm.
"It's the Mark 3. Runs on something called U.L.T.R.O.N. This way, you can have Jarvis. Oh, also, I took your suggestions and added in some black to the armor. Not as horrible as I thought."
"Glad you like it."
She continues on and tells me that ULTRON stands for:
Utility - non-Lethal - Transducing - Robotic - Operating - Nous
Meaning that it can convert energy, it's self-aware, and that it's made of pure intellect and reason. Scary.
"Hey, get back to work. We have things to do."
I spin back and begin to take off my armor. I place it on the table and take out a screwdriver, unscrewing the bolts in the side of the gauntlet. My chest begins to irritate me, so I scratch it, only to realize that that part of my torso is made of metal. I disregard it and continue to work on my armor, just as Pepper is working on hers.
Somehow, I feel like this isn't just the end of my old life, but the beginning of a strange new life just over the horizon.
I'm excited.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanted to end the volume on a high note. As you can probably tell, all the words in ULTRON's name are legitimate words. Google them. Anyways, I wanted to write from Tony's perspective to finish up the volume, just to get that sense of "teamwork" going on between the two (it's hard to explain). Hope you guys enjoyed it, and feel free to give me feedback in the comments.
See you soon,

Here it is, Ultimate Ultron, and my first ever sculpted minifig. Owning no clay or proper modelling material, I used my own obscure and weird way, which has proved successful. Over a skeleton frame (litterally), I molded plasticine to form sections of his body the frame can be seen here
www.flickr.com/photos/thecampervantom/18160364272/in/date...
Afterwards, layers of pva glue and paint were applied to give it a tougher outer-coating. The figure is still soft if pressed upon, but will stay together for quite a long time (I presume). The whole thing is painted silver, with fine details added in black or red. Shoulder pads are the back halves of battle droid heads. The Head sculpt only uses one official lego part, the ultron drone's dome. Owning no lego bottom section, I sculpted the jaw piece out of plasticine, gluing the left over/front halves of battle droid heads to the side, creating, whatever the parts are meant to be xD. For fear of damaging the jar piece, ultron's head is not rotatable, also pulling the dome piece off may scrape off face paint. These are just minor problems I have found, using this strange (and possibly new) method. Certainly anyone in their right mind, wouldn't try this lol. My third and final age of ultron custom to celebrate the movie, alongside Ulysses Klaw and Ultron Sentry. Let me know what you guys think, if anyone wants to try something like this, the link to the frame work is up there somewhere ^.
Left to Right: Klaw, Black Knight (Dane Whitman), Ultron-5, Radioactive Man, Whirlwind and Melter.

I've been operating as Iron Man in Tokyo for about a week now, and I have to say, the translator is probably my favorite part of the new suit. I took Japanese for a couple years in high school, but I'm nowhere near fluent. Helping people is my calling, I guess.
I step through the doorway of my room, and walk down the main hallway, making my way to the living area.
I spot Mr. Harada standing beside the window, looking at the city below. He notices me.
“I've always had high hopes for Tokyo, and Japan as a whole.” He remarks.
“Yeah, that's how Pepper felt about New York.”
I reply
“You never did tell me much of her, what was Ms. Potts like?”
“She was strong, stronger than I could ever hope to be, and I'll never forgive the bastard who killed her.”
I say.
“And who was that? If I may ask.”
“A war hero, someone I looked up to. Captain America.”
“Ah, Steven Rogers. Some of my contacts tell me that he's working with the government again.”
“How sweet.” I say, sarcastically. “I hope I never see him again.”
“This reminds me of something important. Did I ever tell you how my face was disfigured?”
“Not that I recall.” I say.
“I was working on a suit, not unlike the Mark IV Iron Man suit. I called it the Silver Samurai. The night I finished it, a masked assailant broke into the tower, and stole it. I still don't know to this day, as it can only be accessed with my DNA. The assailant destroyed my lab. In the ensuing explosion, parts of my face were burnt.”
“Jesus, I didn't know.”
“It's okay Anthony, but the moral of the story is, don't trust anyone. They may as well leave you with nothing just for fame and power.”
“Thanks, Mr. Harada.” I say, and then start walking to my room. I walk through the door, and I'm welcomed by my unfinished Mark V, as well as an old Hydra Plaque, Ultron’s head, and Pepper’s old mask.
I glance at Tokyo through the window.
“Friday, we need to look for a thief. They should be silver, and samurai shaped.”
Simon Williams is the son of rich industrialist Sanford Williams, owner of Williams Innovations. Simon inherits the munitions factory after his father's death, but the company's profits fall due to its biggest competitor Tony Stark and his company Stark Industries.
On the advice of his brother Eric, Simon tries to embezzle funds from his company but is caught and incarcerated.
Simon blames Stark for this and accepts the proposition of master villain Baron Heinrich Zemo after the Enchantress pays his bail, as a pawn is required to infiltrate the Avengers.
The desperate Simon Williams agrees and is transformed into an ion-powered being with superhuman powers. His powers are tested, and he is shown to have great superhuman strength and durability, even defeating the Executioner.
Called Wonder Man by Zemo, he is then sent to meet and join the Avengers, with instructions to betray them at a critical moment so that Zemo's Masters of Evil can destroy the Avengers.
Zemo ensures Wonder Man's loyalty by advising him that as a result of the treatment his body now requires periodic doses of a serum to survive—a serum that only Zemo can provide. The Avengers are lured into a trap and captured.
The plan fails when Wonder Man decides to save the Avengers and aid them against Zemo, apparently at the cost of his own life. Hank Pym records Wonder Man's brain patterns in the hope that one day he can be revived.
Unbeknownst to the Avengers, Wonder Man's body has simply entered a catatonic state as it adjusts to the effects of the treatment. Eric Williams becomes distraught over the apparent death of his sibling and, blaming the Avengers, assumes the identity of the Grim Reaper in an effort to destroy them. The Grim Reaper steals Simon's body at one point, and attacks the Avengers three times before Wonder Man finally returns.
Wonder Man remains in suspended animation for years, and it is during this period that Ultron, the evil robot creation of Hank Pym, steals the brain patterns recorded by the Avengers for use as a template for the synthezoid Vision.
It is later revealed that Vision is built from the original Human Torch, an android created by Professor Phineas Horton.
During this vulnerable time, Wonder Man is used as a pawn on three occasions. Wonder Man is briefly revived by Kang the Conqueror to battle the Avengers as part of his Legion of the Unliving, and later "resurrected" as a zombie by Black Talon and the Grim Reaper to attack the Avengers once more.
On the final occasion, the Living Laser hypnotizes a now-awake but still very weak Wonder Man, in an unsuccessful attack on the Avengers.
After this encounter, Wonder Man was restored to true life and chooses to remain with the Avengers, aiding them against Attuma and Doctor Doom.
He also fought the Vision, and helped the Avengers battle Graviton. He soon after defeats the Grim Reaper, who was intent on destroying the Vision as he was "artificial" and a "mockery" of his brother; Wonder Man at this point is revealed to have become a being of ionic energy.
Wonder Man eventually joins the Avengers in a full-time capacity and becomes close friends with his teammate, the Beast. For several months after his resurrection, Wonder Man suffers from slight claustrophobia and a fear of dying in battle, as he did once before. Wonder Man finally overcomes his fear of death during the final battle with Korvac.
Wonder Man invaded his former plant which had been taken over by the Maggia, and fought Madame Masque and the Dreadnought.
Developing an interest in acting, Wonder Man stars in minor roles before moving to Hollywood, where fellow Avenger Hercules uses his contacts to establish Wonder Man's career. Wonder Man also works for a time as a stuntman, an ideal vocation since he is invulnerable to virtually all conventional weapons.
Wonder Man helps form the West Coast Avengers, and his new-found confidence begins to become arrogance. He develops a serious rivalry with Iron Man, but sees the error of his ways after a brutal battle with the Abomination.
He also foils Doctor Doom's plot to control the world. His acting career rises, and he is cast as the villain in the fourth film in the successful Arkon franchise.
Wonder Man eventually accepts the Vision as his "brother", but there is a setback when the Vision is dismantled and rebuilt as an emotionless machine by a global conglomerate.
The Scarlet Witch—the Vision's wife—asks Wonder Man to provide his brainwaves once again in order to rebuild the foundational personality matrix of the original Vision, but Wonder Man refuses, having feelings for her himself.
The Wasp further deduces that the Vision's original relationship to the Scarlet Witch may even have been predicated by Wonder Man's initial donation for the original personality matrix; at this, Wonder Man confirms that several of his hesitations about making the attempt arise from these doubts and the subconscious desire he's felt toward the Scarlet Witch since her separation from her husband. He is then ensorcelled by the Enchantress, and battles the Avengers.
Wonder Man battles old foes Goliath and the Enchantress, before meeting his would-be sidekick "Spider" and battling Gamma-Burn, resulting in wrecking his jet-pack.
Wonder Man then battles the assassin Splice for the first time. Wonder Man takes part in the Kree/Shi'ar War, and had his powers altered when he and the Vision failed to prevent the Shi'ar Nega-Bomb from detonating.
He battled Angkor, and then journeyed to Hades where he battled Mephisto, Blackheart, the Enchantress, and the Grim Reaper; he then learned that he was immortal.
When Avengers West Coast (renamed) disbands after a dispute, Wonder Man becomes a founding member of its successor group Force Works, but is disintegrated in an explosion during their first mission against the alien Kree.
Many months later, the Scarlet Witch accidentally resurrects Wonder Man in ionic form; while in this form he appears when she is in need.
Several months later, the Scarlet Witch is able to fully revive Wonder Man and he now exists in an independent, more human form. It is also discovered later that the Grim Reaper - dead at the time - is also revived.
Wonder Man becomes romantically involved with the Scarlet Witch, but ends their affair during the Kang Dynasty saga, due to her residual feelings for the Vision.
Wonder Man is blackmailed into working for S.H.I.E.L.D. during the Civil War storyline. Due to charges of misappropriation of funds in his non-profit organization, Wonder Man is pressured to work for the pro-registration side in the ensuing Civil War drama.
In addition to capturing renegade vigilantes and criminals, Wonder Man is instrumental in creating televised messages to educate the public and yet-unregistered superhumans about the specifics of the Registration Act. Wonder Man became a member of the Mighty Avengers.
Wonder Man began a romantic relationship with fellow Mighty Avenger Ms. Marvel warning her not to use her position as leader of the Avengers to keep him out of potentially dangerous situations just because of their relationship.
Following the events of the Secret Invasion, Norman Osborn created a new team of Avengers, effectively retiring Wonder Man during the Dark Reign storyline.
Wonder Man later appears on television, lamenting his tenure as an Avenger, claiming it was all a waste of time, and that using violence to uphold justice has caused nothing but heartache and death. He ends his speech by sadly admitting that having Osborn in charge is exactly what the country deserves.
After this, Wonder Man is imprisoned as a member of the new Lethal Legion. This group opposes the tyrannical efforts of Osborn; Wonder Man joins to try to keep them from hurting innocents.
Wonder Man has been seen alongside his old West Coast Avengers teammates, Ronin, Mockingbird, Tigra and War Machine in battle with a new version of Ultimo.
During the Heroic Age sequence, Simon is approached by Steve Rogers to join the new team of Avengers. Simon refuses stating that the Avengers have caused more problems than they have solved and implies as Rogers leaves that he will make sure his old allies realize the mistake they are making.
Simon also mentioned as having been in jail until Steve bailed him out. After learning that Rogers had disregarded his advice, Wonder Man attacks the new team causing some damage to their base before inexplicably disappearing.
Thor and Iron Man later contact him to try and reason with him, but Simon refuses to listen to their arguments, stating that the dead heroes that have resulted from the Avengers working together should be a clear sign that the concept is doomed, departing as Thor and Iron Man try to argue that all heroes are aware of the risks when they begin. Significantly, Iron Man notes that Simon is 'leaking' ionic energy, suggesting that his current mental condition may relate to his powers rather than being simply a matter of choice.
Wonder Man put together the Revengers, a team of super-powered people to stop the Avengers because he believes they do more harm than good, blaming the Avengers for Ultron's existence, the damage caused by the Scarlet Witch and the Hulk, the Civil War, and Osborn's Dark Avengers. His team subsequently defeats the New Avengers in a quick attack on the mansion before he moves on to attack Avengers Tower, stating that he will destroy the tower unless the Avengers immediately disband.
Although Iron Man manages to trap him in a prison specifically designed to contain his ionic energy with the Revengers being quickly defeated by the combined Avengers teams, Wonder Man has still successfully managed to spread doubt among the population about the merits of the Avengers as a concept particularly since Captain Rogers has yet to officially rebuff any of his arguments, asking Beast to remember his words simultaneously reflecting that he may be able to see the Avengers from the outside as he has not been 'real' since his resurrection before he apparently disappears from his prison.
Wonder Man later reappears to Captain America (Steve Rogers), telling him that he feels sorry for his past actions and that he is trying to redeem himself. Before he can accept help from the Avengers, he is attacked by the Red Hulk. He managed to take him down and looks at Avengers Tower, claiming that he will "earn his way back". He later plays a pivotal role in rescuing the Wasp from the Microverse. After this, Wonder Man is shown celebrating Jan's return alongside the rest of the Avengers at Stark Tower.
At Wasp's urging, Simon later joins the Avengers Unity Squad. During conversations with Jan and Sunfire, he makes it clear has no intentions of fighting, and only wants to help use his PR skills to win over skeptical citizens. He and the Scarlet Witch rekindle their relationship. During the final confrontation with the Celestial Executioner, he allows Rogue to absorb him to give her the power to oppose the Celestial, but his essence remains in Rogue after Wanda expels the other absorbed powers from her, leaving Rogue with Simon's powers and once again unable to touch others.
During the AXIS events, Wonder Man's consciousness was still in Rogue at the time when the X-Men and the Avengers were inverted by an inversion spell. Rogue used Wonder Man's powers when helping the X-Men.
At the time when the Avengers Unity Squad traveled to Counter-Earth to find Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, Rogue was captured by High Evolutionary's right-hand man Master Scientist who removed Wonder Man's consciousness from Rogue.
After Rogue was unable to see or hear Wonder Man, he was still in Rogue's mind. When Rogue kissed Deadpool, Wonder Man was freed from Rogue's body as the result of Deadpool's healing factor acting like a circuit breaker that enabled Wonder Man to escape from Rogue's body.
During the "Secret Empire" events, Wonder Man appears as a member of the Underground which is a resistance movement against Hydra ever since they took over the United States.
During the "Empyre" storyline, Wonder Man, Quicksilver, and Mockingbird deal with the Kree and the Skrull's fight with the Cotati near Navojoa. When Quicksilver is hit by special spheres fired by the Cotati magicians, Mockingbird and Wonder Man come to his aid and help the Kree and the Skrull turn the tide against the Cotati.
Powers and abilities
Simon Williams gained his superhuman powers due to chemical and radiation treatments with "ionic" energy by Baron Zemo, giving him superhuman strength, speed, stamina, durability, agility, and reflexes. While Zemo's initial aim is to use ionic energy treatments to make Wonder Man at least "the equal of any Avenger," his treatments surpassed his expectations and endowed Wonder Man with strength comparable to that of Thor.
Captain America once describes Wonder Man as having "Sentry-level" strength, though that is anecdotal rather than scientific. Zemo's treatments also grant Wonder Man virtual invulnerability, immortality, enhanced physicality likened to greater stamina, agility, speed, and instantaneous reflexes. Zemo also outfits Wonder Man with a rocket pack in his belt to achieve flight.
When the Scarlet Witch resurrected him Wonder Man was able to transform into a state of pure ionic energy at will and back again. Following his resurrection and metamorphosis, Wonder Man eventually relearned he is capable of true flight and energy projection. Due to his self-regenerating ionic energy, Simon has the ability to go without air, food, or water. His eyes also glow a bright red and he usually wears sunglasses to conceal the effect but Simon can normalize their appearance as well.
Before his "death" at the hands of the Kree, Wonder Man discovered new abilities. In his beginning years, Williams sometimes wore an ionic energy powered apparatus which allowed him simulated flight. Over the course of his career he would gain true flight without need of a thrust system.
Other abilities begotten from manipulating his own ion energies include emitting force or flame beams from his hands and eyes. Alternating his physical shape in undiscovered ways either changing his size (enabling him to grow taller than his adversary Goliath), morphing his hand into a sickle or transforming into a more demonic semblance.
Withholding the energy in hand to increase the impact force of his physical blows. He could potentially even give superpowers to non-powered individuals by imparting his ionic force onto them and can just as easily reabsorb it back into himself as this somewhat weakens his superhuman abilities.
Since his resurrection, he has rarely used most of these powers but can still shift between human and energy states at will.
Later, his ionic form has begun to "leak" energy, allowing Iron Man to track him by following his unique energy signature, the other heroes speculating that his condition is responsible for his currently unstable attitude and anger at the Avengers.
In later appearances he appears to have increased in strength and power, having also learned to teleport at will. He has done so several times in recent appearances; once being when he was detained by the Avengers after staging an attack on the mansion, and again while battling and easily winning against the Red Hulk.
Wonder Man has some limited effect on Electromagnetic phenomena as was explained to him by Hank and Nadia Pym, to that end he can absorb various forms of energy be it radiological, ionic, even anti-material in nature.
Simon is an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant, having received Avengers training in unarmed combat from Captain America. He has an advanced degree in electrical engineering, is an experienced stuntman, and a talented actor. He is also exceptionally wealthy, being the owner of his own private weapons company as well as a successful movie star.
⚡ Happy 🎯 Heroclix 💫 Friday! 👽

The Winter Soldier has broken into the Helicarrier and stolen TOP SECRET Information! But Captain America is in hot pursuit. Can the American Hero win the battle ?
So this is my first (and quite possibly my only) entry for Ultron's Vig contest. I'm quite happy with this build, though I am sure I could have made it a little bit better. :/ Hope this build is good enough for 1st place, though I doubt it beccause there are a lot of better builds in my oppinion. and I would also be happy with second or third. :P
This scene is based of the ending scene from the WS Trailer, with a bit of my own spin on it. I had planned to build this for a while now, but I had to make it smaller for the contest, which is why it took a bit for me to finish and upload it. :P
I have also made a new group, Lego Captain America: The Winter Soldier. I would be very happy if you would join. :)
Comments and favs always appreciated. :)
... And now we're all robots. Except that one guy from out of town.
Can you count all the robots?
For Ultron's contest: www.flickr.com/groups/2495567@N24
Decided to create a composition with all my custom Age of Ultron figs, based off Klaw and Ultron's meeting in Wakanda.
I'm going to tear you apart... from the inside!
From what we have seen in promo art and in the two trailers this is the main (and possibly final) form of Ultron. I traded heads with the Ultron from the Hulkbuster Smash and it looks amazing!
comment your thoughts below!
Voigtlander 21mm f3.5 FE Color-Skopar @ f11 & 2.2m
The Ultron's magic spot is at 2.13m for f11, Hyper-focual is 1.35 meters for 21mm @ f11. I'm past 2 here, may add a little more or try f8.
Handheld, point and shoot, have to remember to manually set the focal length in Steady Focus. I think it works better than Auto for primes. This lens is an FE, thus contacts, so it may not need that but I do it anyway. Could be wrong.
Picked this bad boy up at Target. There was only 3 left so I guess I got lucky. I can already see some improvements I can do to scarlet witch. I ordered the top part of ultron's helmet so it should come in soon.
-Façade-
For Ultron32's contest, and to go along with the little 1930s Batman build I made, I decided to recreate Arkham Asylum in the distinctive Art Deco style of the era, modelling it after skyscrapers such as the Empire States Building. On the rooftop, Batman battles The Joker and The Riddler, whilst armed henchmen watch from the ground.
The initial plan was to only include the façade of the building, though I was soon captivated by the idea and went ahead with a full-size building, unfortunately leaving little space for the paved ground.

Build: chrome plated brass
Coating: red & green multi coated
Expression: after Cosina bought the Voigtlander nameplate in 1999, the first Nokton they introduced was the Nokton 1.5/50 Aspherical in LTM in 1999 and later in Nikon rangefinder mount in 2003, which was said to base on the original Nokton (1951) discussed in the first post of this mini-series. However, the 6/5 optical design is actually more similar to the original Ultron's than the Nokton's. In addition, the rendering changes dramatically because of the aspherical element. Cosina pushed the game further by introducing the Nokton 1.5/50 Aspherical VM (Leica M-mount) in 2013, with the same 6/5 optics, and there are two versions: the lighter Black version made out of aluminum and the heavier Chrome version shown here. The exterior design of the Chrome version is almost identical to the original Nokton in LTM (1950s) which now commands over $7K in the used market due to rarity. The original LTM Nokton shares the same 7/5 optics as the Prominent Nokton discussed in the previous post but includes a focus mechanism because LTM cameras don't have built-in focus mechanism; many people don't understand why Cosina implemented such an unique (but maybe not very practical) design, and the reason is simply that they wanted to pay tribute to the original LTM Nokton (and perhaps annoyed some proud owners along the way LOL).
This is my final entry for Ultron's Superhero contest.
After Pepper died (Yeah there is no way she should survive that fall), Tony took his revenge on Aldrich Killian by blowing up his own Mark 42 (There is also no reason that he should survive that). After that, the real Mandarin appeared. Armed with 10 magic rings from Asgard, he beats the crap out of Tony. How is he going to survive this?

At long last... It's finally here!!!! Now the real question is, is it as good or even better as the first one? Well, let's find out! But as a warning, there may be a few spoilers in this post, so beware...
Good: To start off, I would like to talk about my favorite character of this whole film... VISION! I love this character so much, he was so cool in this movie! I think because of his role in this movie, he has become my new second favorite Marvel superhero, behind Ant-Man, of course! Also, if you have seen the movie, you need to check out this video (don't watch if you have seen the movie): www.youtube.com/watch?v=8do1e9Lavlc Also I LOVED Ultron, he's probably my favorite Comicbook villain of all time! He's like an evil Tony Stark because of his funny quips, but he does strike fear into the audience! I also loved the action scenes, I think they're all better than the action sequences from the first Avengers. Also, from the trailers, it looks like this film is really dark from the trailers, but there are some great comedic moments, and don't get me wrong, there are some cool dark moments! Another thing that I loved in this film was the role of Hawkeye, you get a lot more character development for the character which makes him a lot better than his role in the first Avengers. Now I could go on for days on all the great things in this film, but I would like to talk about one last thing and that thing is ****HEAVY SPOILERS**** the new Avengers team. So the new team is Captain America, Black Widow, Vision, Falcon, Scarlet Witch, and War Machine! I'm super excited to see these guys in action!
Bad: Now there are only a few negatives in this film. The pacing of this film was a little awkward, like they spent little time on Ultron's origin and Thor's vision quest, but then I felt they spent a little too much time on the twins and Hawkeye's family. And finally, just a little nit-pick, I wasn't a fan of the twins' accent.
Overall, I was really entertained with this film and I definitely think this film is better than the first Avengers and Captain America TWS, but I'm not sure to say if it's better than Guardians of the Galaxy because I freaking loved that film. So overall, I'm going to give this film a 9.75/10. It's incredible and if you haven't seen it yet, GO SEE IT!!!
Well, now with Age of Ultron out of the way, the next MCU film is ANT-MAN!!!!! WHOOOOOOO I'M SO FUCKING HYPED YEAH!!!!!
Oh and one more thing, there's not going to be a 'This Week in the News' this week because I was super busy this week and I wasn't able to pay attention to any stories, plus there was some contoversy with the last one. But don't worry, it will be back next week!
