The War Machine is basically the armor that Tony sends out, even if it has been modified by Hammer Industries and has Ivan Vanko's control system installed. As long as he has time, he can also fix it.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., begin system correction!"
"Starting correction. In correction. Correction completed."
With J.A.R.V.I.S. infiltrating the War Machine's system, within ten seconds, the War Machine broke free from Ivan Vanko's remote control and returned to normal.
"I say, why did you set up a backdoor on the backside? That's too embarrassing!"
Recovering control over the War Machine, Rhodes couldn't help but mutter under his breath.
And Tony, withdrawing his finger, said with a sigh:
"Since this is a backdoor, it makes sense to set it on the backside. I didn't even think there would be someone wearing the suit while correcting the system."
He originally designed it this way for optimizing the system during testing, and it is usually kept in the lab after removing the suit, then connected by experimental lines. This is similar to inserting lines into a computer's main unit from behind.
He hadn't anticipated a situation like today's, where he'd need to use his finger as the connection point to plug in the backdoor and fix the system.
"Next time, I'll move it to the front... It doesn't seem too good either, let's stick with the backside."
"What now, should we go find that Ivan Vanko guy?"
George looked at the two complaining guys and asked.
Rhodes looked at George's wings at the back with curiosity, and then shrugged his shoulders.
"The problem now is, we don't know where Ivan Vanko is hiding. Maybe we should ask Hammer first."
"No need, George is best at finding people."
Tony turned his head towards George, he knew George had the ability to track, as long as you wanted to find it, there was no one who couldn't find it.
George was about to nod, but then suddenly turned his head towards the distant sky and smiled.
"Apparently, it doesn't need to be found. The main character has come himself."
"Sir, a high energy index object is approaching at high speed."
J.A.R.V.I.S. also reminded Tony at the same time.
After a moment, a humanoid robot that was one size larger than Tony and the War Machine appeared in front of the three of them.
It was Ivan Vanko, who had seen all his robot soldiers destroyed, and the control of the War Machine removed, personally wearing his Whiplash suit he designed and rushed over.
The guy who wiped out the robotic soldiers is indeed formidable, but he also has confidence in his own-designed Whiplash suit. Moreover, he came here with the mindset that even if he dies, he'll drag Tony with him.
"God is injured, bleeding. People will no longer fear God or believe in God. Blood flowing in water can attract sharks."
What he wants to do is to make everyone realize that Ironman is not as strong as everyone thinks, and if people are willing, they can swallow his technology, swallow Stark Industries.
So whether or not Tony Stark can be killed is actually not all that important.
"You guys stay put, I'm going to use my 'ex-wife' to bust this guy!"
Seeing Ivan Vanko remove his helmet, revealing his true form, Rhodes immediately flew in front of George and Tony, raising a special emitter on his shoulder.
Having been controlled by Ivan Vanko up to now, he was also seething with anger.
The "ex-wife" he referred to was actually the strongest weapon added to the suit by Hammer during its modification, small rattlesnake missiles that could destroy a fortress.
"What ex-wife?"
Tony clearly hadn't understood what Rod meant.
"Biu!"
The ex-wife was launched from the shoulder of the War Machine, and then, it just crashed into the Whiplash suit that wasn't even trying to dodge, and then fell down from mid-air without anything happening.
"Haven't Hammer told you that it needs a certain amount of acceleration and enough distance to explode, otherwise it would just become a dud?"
Ivan Vanko laughed mockingly, put on his own helmet, and then, after shaking his hands, two high-pressure electricity titanium whips shot out.
Tony, at the back, couldn't help but mutter under his breath:
"Hammer's rattlesnake missile, garbage among garbage."
"Come on, let the world see how fragile you are."
Vanko accelerated, swinging his electric whips at George and the others.
Tony and the War Machine quickly activated their armor's weapon systems to attack Vanko, but all their attacks were blocked by the thick armor of Vanko's Whiplash suit, unable to breach its defenses.
It was only when the whips were in mid-air that George froze them in place, just like the previous robotic soldiers.
"What are you doing, are you planning to perform the Five Whips of Lightning?"
"Same old trick, but my Whiplash suit is not to be compared to ordinary robotic soldiers."
The reactor energy in his chest instantly reached its peak, and the Whiplash suit relied on its powerful kinetic energy to break through the magnetic control and once again charge towards the three of them.
After fighting with the robotic soldiers just now, he found that George could somehow limit the movement of the robotic soldiers with some kind of power, but he couldn't fully restrain them.
The performance of his whips is several times better than that of the robotic soldiers. As long as he maintains enough power, the opponent cannot limit the movement of the Whiplash suit.
"I'm in a hurry to go back, so I won't play with you."
Watching the incoming whips, George waved his hand.
"Disarm it!"
Charm spell activated, the electric whips in the whip's hands were immediately ejected.
Before he could react from the confusion of his weapon being disarmed, George's hand was already pressed against his armor.
"Shapeshifting!"
The shapeshifting magic of a sorcerer's apprentice was activated, and Vanko's advanced Whiplash suit transformed into an old, rusted metal model.
Shapeshifting can turn inanimate objects into living things, upgrade an old car into a super luxurious sports car, turn a taxi into a tank, or turn a tank into an old-fashioned car that runs slower than a bicycle.
He is still unable to transform a taxi into a tank or a model into a complex and advanced suit of armor, but it is not difficult to turn an advanced suit of armor into an old and simple model.
So, no matter how advanced the technology product is, as long as George touches it with shapeshifting magic, if the size is not too large, it will basically be turned into scrap metal.
The sworn enemy of high-tech products.
This scene caused Tony Stark and the War Machine to involuntarily suck in a breath, retreating a distance together, fearful of accidentally being touched by George's hand.
Actually, the transformation spell can also have similar effects, but for the transformation spell, the more complex the thing is, the harder it is to transform. Senior high school exams are nothing more than turning a catbird into a small telescope, which can confuse many students.
Let alone some more complex firearms and tech products.
Even Master Magus McGuffin, the master of the transformation spell, can't turn planes and cannons into other things.
However, the transformation spell can also transform living creatures, human transformations. For example, Albus Dumbledore, disguised as Moody, used the transformation spell to turn the Weasley twins into white ferrets.
This is something shapeshifting cannot do.
