‘Avengers: Age Of Ultron': Tony Stark's Hulkbuster Armor Uses Satellite To Keep Track Of Hulk

The Hulk will be a tough opponent to beat in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” even when he battles with Tony Stark in his Hulkbuster armor. While the suit is built especially to defeat Hulk, according to a recent report it is also Tony Stark’s means of keeping track of Bruce Banner for every time he turns into the angry green giant.

According to some fun facts released by Disney for “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” Tony Stark’s Hulkbuster armor was “developed by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner, after they studied the Hulk’s physical actions and strength levels in an effort to find a way to contain him and minimize the damage caused by his rages.” However, the armor doesn’t only function as a means to combat Hulk’s strength but also works as a tracking device.

According to the statement from Disney posted by Comicbookmovie, there is a satellite in low orbit that always hovers around Bruce Banner. This satellite reportedly functions as a tracking device that alerts Tony Stark every time Banner turns into the Hulk. “At a moment’s notice, Tony Stark can deploy the Hulkbuster armor, get into it and stop the Hulk in his tracks—theoretically.”

Viewers have yet to see an actual scene showing Tony Stark’s Hulkbuster armor being deployed. So far what’s been shown in the trailers released for “Avengers: Age of Ultron” is Hulk’s face-off with Tony Stark in his Hulkbuster armor. According to Comicbookresources, Stark and Hulk’s fight scene was shot in Korea. Especially that scene where Hulk unceremoniously throws a car at the Hulkbuster and Tony Stark with his mettalic claws catches it in time before Hulk decides to butt the car into the armor’s chest. However, in this same fight scene it also shows the Hulkbuster armor’s strength as it was able to withhold Hulk’s punch.

Disney on its fun facts on “Avengers: Age of Ultron” labelled Tony Stark’s Hulkbuster armor as “an iconic piece” of Iron Man technology. It’s described as a “a prebuilt super-suit “that’s specifically designed to take on the Hulk. A scene in the second trailer released for the film shows just how strong the armor is. Nearing the end of the trailer viewers can see Tony Stark flying his way to Hulk and pinning him to the ground.
