* DeusExMachina: The use of "Antartic Vibranium" in the end.
** Averted: The use of Antarctic Vibranium, aka Anti-Metal, was foreshadowed as early as ten issues before its use when a crate of it was recovered during a raid on an AIM warehouse. It was even Justice who identified it and warned his teammates not to disturb the case or else it would obliterate all metal objects in the vicinity. Justice is seen going over recent mission reports during the Ultron battle since he's sidelined with an injury at the time, which is what made him think to use it. The Anti-Metal itself has been around since the 60's and 70's Ka-Zar comics.

* RedShirtReporter: The CNN was broadcasting the destruction of Slorenia, and noticed a figure standing at the ruins of the parliament. It was Ultron.

''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthMightiestHeroes!'' had a episode that was loosely based on this storyline.

* InterruptedCooldownHug: Gloriously, lovingly subverted. The Vision escapes from his bonds, and tries to reason with Ultron - trying to appeal to Ultron's desire for companionship and family. Vision extends his hand just as the Avengers outside begin to charge in...only for Ultron to laser Vision in the face before the Avengers can barge in and ruin the moment.

* BigDamnHeroes: "Ultron. We would have words with thee". Can there be a better example?

* {{Revision}}: Kurt Busiek added a new depth to the relation of Ultron and Pym. [[spoiler:He had never told anyone, but Pym built Ultron using his own brain patterns to shape his personality.]]

* SomethingWeForgot: The escape of the Grim Reaper during the curb-stomp battle against Ultron. Justified, in a moment like that who would care for such details? But they forgot to recapture him before going home. This point was acknowledged some issues later, when the Reaper returned as a villain.

* VillainousRescue: The Grim Reaper was released by the Vision, who interfaced with Ultron's computers, and fired a laser torch to liberate the Avengers. His motivation was simple: he was in Ultron's lair, in a dead country, without his scythe (remember that he lacks a hand), helpless against a killer robot... who ''else'' was going to save his life? He did not stay for the fight, he freed the Avengers and escaped.

Ultron, the killer robot, sends packs of robots to abduct his creator Henry Pym (working at a lab) and the Grim Reaper (Wonder Man's brother, held in a madhouse). The Wasp asks the Avengers for help, but before they can they are informed of an attack at a Wakandian factory. They head there, thinking that it's Ultron, only to discover Alkema (another killer robot, rival of Ultron). They defeat her and discover Ultron's whereabouts: he has completely obliterated the tiny nation of Slorenia, killing every human being within its borders.

** Also for the Scarlet Witch, with her intervention in the battle with Alkema

* EvilVersusEvil: The conflict between Ultron and Alkema. Alkema is not against Ultron because of thinking that killing millions of people is wrong: she's against him because she wants to kill the same millions ''one at a time'', for more fun, and to spoil his plan of killing the Avengers by killing them first.

* SurveillanceAsThePlotDemands: An amusing case. Ultron is watching the activities of the Avengers... and, in turn, Alkema is watching Ultron

* {{Stripperiffic}}: The costume of the Wasp during this adventure (it was previously used in the 1970s). I guess that Perez wanted to draw that one, but... did they have to do it when the Wasp was so distraught?

* LargeHam: Firebrand. Only speaks shouting left-wing nonsenses.

* CurbStompBattle: The final fight against Ultron Prime. The narration points out that even if the Avengers weren't exhausted from their ordeals, Ultron still would have mopped the floor with them.

* CurbStompBattle: Ultron is invincible, the Avengers could not harm him at all. Only with tricks they could defeat him.

'''Ultron Unlimited''' is a 1999 storyline of ComicBook/TheAvengers, written by Kurt Busiek, with art of George Perez.

Ultron, the killer robot, sent packs of robots to abduct his creator Henry Pym (working at a lab) and the Grim Reaper (Wonder Man's brother, held in a madhouse). The Wasp asked the Avengers for help, but they were informed of an attack at a Wakandian factory. They head there, thinking that it was Ultron, but it was Alkema (another killer robot, rival of Ultron). They defeat her and discover Ultron's whereabouts: he had completely obliterated the tiny nation of Slorenia, killing every human being within its borders.

The Wasp, the Vision, Scarlet Witch and Wonder Man sought clues at Pym's lab, and they were all abducted by another pack of robots as well. The remaining Avengers headed a military mission of the UN to secure Slorenia and destroy Ultron.

Ultron had a problem: if he succeeded in destroying the human race and replacing it with robots whose mind was an extension of his own, he would be alone in the world. A recent discovery of Pym would allow Ultron to create countless random brain patterns from a small sample group, all of them subject to a single "hive master." And for the base of those brain patterns, Ultron selected people close to him (his "family" in a sense):
* Henry Pym, his creator, and his "father"

* The Vision, his "son", created by him

The other Avengers locate and destroy Ultron after a painful curb-stomp battle. They located the cave where Ultron had the captive Avengers... and then, another Ultron appeared. And another. And another, and dozens, hundreds, thousands. The "Prime one" was still working with the others. The Vision managed to break free, and liberate the Grim Reaper, who liberated the others. And the other Avengers finally cleared their way to the main Ultron. And yet, with all of them toguether, Ultron was still invincible, and thrashed the floor with all of them. [[spoiler:They were saved by Justice, who was left behind by medical orders (he had a broken leg), and arrived with "Antarctic vibranium" that melts all metals, even adamantium.]]
