Added DiffLines:

* FightingAShadow: As Avengers Assemble 15AU reveals, Ultron's not even present anywhere. All the leaders of his armies are just copies.


Added DiffLines:

* MortonsFork: Ultron and his forces like yelling out "surrender or perish". Surrendering just results in death anyway - not that most of Ultron's drones actually ''give'' people a chance to surrender anyhow.


Added DiffLines:

* ShoutOut: Avengers Assemble 15AU begins with a British man confronted with several Ultron drones, and sarcastically asks whether they'll "[[Series/DoctorWho exterminate]]" him. The drones then begin repeating it, Dalek-style. Later on in the issue, several Ultron drones can be seen standing outside St. Paul's Cathedral, and [[BlatantLies for some mysterious reason]] suddenly they look less like hyper-advance robots, and more like people in badly made costumes.
* ShowDontTell: A major violation occurs in one issue of the main series, where Luke Cage's struggle with Ultron's forces, the death of his associates, and his struggle to get to the Savage Land while dying of radiation poisoning... are all told to the reader by Emma Frost, without so much as a flashback panel.


Added DiffLines:

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: A pointed aversion during Avengers Assemble 15AU. Ultron's robots are just technically "alive" enough to kick the curse on the Black Knight's Ebony Blade into overdrive, meaning the British heroes have to bench Dane.

* BittersweetEnding: ''Avengers Assemble'' #15AU is the closest that the Ultronverse stories get to a happy ending: [[ComicBook/CaptainBritain Brian Braddock]], [[ComicBook/MsMarvel Captain Marvel]], Computer Graham and Magic Boots Mel are all dead, and the whole planet is still overrun with Ultron's lackeys, but the control unit for Ultron's drones in London has been destroyed, Britain's link to the multiverse and Otherworld has been restored, and [[ComicBook/CaptainBritainAndMI13 Faiza Hussain]] -- now Captain Britain -- and [[ComicBook/BlackKnight Dane Whitman]] are alive and prepared to try to take back the country.
