What if Iron Man CREATED the Separatist Droid Army

Описание: What if Iron Man Created the Separatist Droid Army? Let's explore the depths of this scenario in the video.

Tony Stark watches the new arrival in his hospital room. It's only been a week since the Battle of Manhattan and his only visitors so far were the other Avengers or Pepper and Happy. This man wasn't anyone he knew, but he wasn't a reporter either. He was an older man in fine robes and a hooded cloak. None of this hides the great power he radiates.

Dooku: Mr. Stark, I must commend you on your remarkable technological prowess. Your suits are truly a marvel of engineering. Few can stop the Chitauri.

Tony: Thanks, but if you're here to pitch me on some business deal, you can save your breath. I'm retired from the arms game.

Dooku: Ah, yes. A former arms dealer turned humanitarian. A noble path. But surely, you must see the potential for your creations to serve a greater cause if they were mass-produced.

Tony: The last time someone mass-produced my tech, it ended up in the wrong hands and a lot of people got hurt.

Dooku: That was without your supervision. I need an army capable of liberating my galaxy. Surely you of all people understand my position. I read your record with the Ten Rings. What I propose is no different. The Republic of my galaxy is rotten to the core. As people starve in their homes, the senators gorge themselves in feasts, safely away in their capital city.

Tony: And you think creating an army of Iron Men is the answer?

Dooku: It seems to be your answer to Earth's problems.

Tony stiffens and looks at the count, narrowing his eyes. The Iron Legion program was something he had considered for some time now. But it was still in its early forms. More importantly, it was something highly classified and only he and Pepper knew about it.

Dooku sees his confusion and chuckles.

Dooku: I have my sources. But I offer you the opportunity to make this project a reality and to keep it under your control.

Tony: Pausing and considering. Do you believe you can change things?

Dooku: I do. But I need your help, Tony.

Tony: Alright, Dooku. I'll help you. But we're doing this my way. No shortcuts, no compromises.

Dooku: Agreed. Welcome to the CIS, Mr. Stark.

Dooku departs without another word, allowing Tony to recover. Once he is discharged from the hospital though, he announces he's taking an extended vacation. In reality, he heads to one of his secret labs and begins work with Dooku and his foremen.

Tony immediately begins developing the Iron Legion. He uses his suit as a base, creating an army of independent suits that can be controlled by JARVIS, each one specially designed to handle a certain role in the military from shock troops, commandos, snipers, scouts, and medics.

Dooku provides Tony with advanced technology to help them further refine the designs and make them more effective. The designs they develop are superior battle droid designs both in their capabilities and command and control. The problem is they are more complex and expensive to create so the Iron Legion will only make up a portion of the planned droid army.

Still, they are good enough that Dooku immediately orders his allies to begin their mass production. The timing is perfect as just a few years later, the Clone Wars begins with the Battle of Geonosis.

During this battle, most of the Iron Legion isn't present. Those units that are there manage to distinguish themselves by being the only units who face the clone troopers on equal footing or even take down Jedi if grouped. This success is far from isolated as in the ensuing battles, the Iron Legion proves to be some of the CIS's best units, managing to punch far above its weight class despite being only a small portion of droids in the army.

They soon become a terror throughout the Republic Army, wiping out entire units and being the spearhead that secures the CIS countless victories. Even the Jedi fear facing them after seeing their capabilities. With the Iron Legion as their vanguard, the CIS makes steady inroads across many fronts, pushing the Republic back and taking countless worlds. Even with its larger industrial base, the Republic struggles to mobilize and deploy it as they are pressed in too many places.

The speed of this success takes even the CIS off guard as they struggle to keep up in controlling newly conquered territories. At first, Dooku orders the CIS to honor his agreement with Tony. But as they continue to advance, they struggle to properly administer and pacify these planets. This allows resistance and isolated Republic units to wage guerilla wars which are far more effective at chipping away at the Iron Legion.

While this isn't initially a serious issue, it grows to become a problem later on as the Republic shifts its strategy. This allows the Jedi to play to their strengths and win back support.
