Seeing this news about Tony, Anton knew the timeline was progressing about as he'd expected.
After Iron Man 2, at most, there were only six months until the Battle of New York!
Anton had a vague feeling.
In many ways, the Battle of New York was unavoidable.
If things fell into the hands of S.H.I.E.L.D., there wouldn't be a good outcome, unless S.H.I.E.L.D. was willing to hand over the Tesseract.
That was obviously impossible.
After a moment of thought, Anton retracted his thoughts and continued to focus on the news.
The person who attacked Tony was naturally Whiplash, Ivan Vanko.
This guy was also a rare technical genius. Relying on the Arc Reactor technology left by his father, he created a set of Whiplash Armor, nicknamed Whiplash in the comics and movies.
However, Anton wasn't surprised by Whiplash's appearance.
What surprised Anton the most was the amazing transformation of the R8 that Tony drove when he defeated Whiplash.
What's the difference between this and the Autobots transforming?
Anton carefully observed the video recordings circulating from the scene and felt that the humanoid mecha that Tony drove, which had transformed from a car, was very familiar, like a smaller version of the Transformers.
Evidently, Tony had absorbed a lot of alien technology from the Transformers and converted it into his own technology.
"It's the bodies of the Decepticons left at the Hoover Dam…"
Anton quickly figured out where Tony had obtained the technology related to the Transformers.
At that time, during the battle at the Hoover Dam, the bodies of the Decepticons and others were abandoned in the ruins formed next to the Hoover Dam by those who had left in a hurry.
Anton hadn't paid much attention to this.
The Americans had been researching Megatron since the last century, but they hadn't come up with anything impressive. Even if they had the broken remains of the Decepticons, wouldn't it be faster and more thorough to simply ask the Autobots for their technology?
However, Tony's actions made him realize that Tony, who already had a good relationship with the military, had probably reached some kind of agreement with them.
The content of the cooperation was most likely related to the corpses of Megatron and others.
Otherwise, Anton didn't think Tony would suddenly get the idea of "Autobots transformation."
The thought flashed through his mind, and someone called him from behind.
"Director! Ready!"
"Alright, let's start filming."
Anton stopped paying attention to these side matters and continued his work.
Meanwhile, the news about Monaco and Tony's attack spread rapidly, quickly reaching every corner of the world.
Especially the Americans. They were first startled, and then completely captivated by Tony's new armor, falling into a state of immense shock and longing.
As a country with a strong car culture, Americans have a deeper emotional connection to cars than people in other countries.
The technology that Tony displayed completely won over the hearts of men who never wanted to grow up.
Aren't cars just big toys for men?
After the "Autobots transformation" incident, the Stark Expo that Tony was about to hold in New York immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
Audi's executives were grinning from ear to ear!
In addition, everyone who was paying attention to the new armor believed that with Tony Stark's extremely arrogant personality, he would definitely show them this brand new armor, which transformed from a sports car, at the upcoming expo.
Apparently, they were right.
Threatened by Palladium Poisoning, Tony was preparing to give himself a perfect finale.
Stark Expo. It was probably his funeral, in a way, and a chance to make up for some past regrets.
Until he received the inheritance from his father, delivered by Nick Fury.
Monaco, the attack on Tony, was a hot topic, constantly escalating.
But people were more focused on the new Iron Man armor that Tony displayed, completely ignoring the instigator of the incident, the attacker.
Ivan Vanko.
This guy never anticipated being knocked around by a giant humanoid mech.
Several ribs were broken on the spot, and after falling and getting a bloody head, the crude armor on his body was also scrapped. In fact, his armor was useful.
If it weren't for the fact that he used his meager savings to create such a crude armor, he would have lost his life under Tony's fist long ago.
Afterward, Ivan was brought back to America and imprisoned.
Many people had their eyes on Ivan.
Everyone was knowledgeable. The crude armor Ivan made at the time, though it seemed simple, the technology within was a peak that countless researchers couldn't reach.
They tried every means to contact Ivan, hoping to get the technology for making the armor from him.
The most crucial thing, of course, was the Arc Reactor for energy.
Justin Hammer was the boldest.
Surpassing Stark Industries had become a demon in his heart. Including his previous attempt to seize control of Oscorp was also to achieve the goal of surpassing Stark Industries.
Ivan's appearance showed him the possibility of achieving his goals.
Arc Reactor technology! Justin was determined to get it!
As a transmigrator, Anton was well aware of the undercurrents behind this.
However, he was busy filming Wonder Woman and had no intention of getting involved in these messy affairs.
A mere Ivan Vanko was worth at most 1 million Justice Points.
It was still more important to exchange for Wonder Woman.
The filming process was more than halfway done.
The outdoor shots were basically finished. The upcoming filming would mostly be on indoor sets, which would be much easier.
Anton estimated that they could wrap up in about a month.
As for post-production, he had already instructed the special effects master, Quentin Beck, who was now free, to begin.
After resigning from Stark Industries, Quentin joined DC Comics and established his own special effects studio.
In this new environment, and with Anton's support, he was thriving.
Quentin's special effects studio had gained considerable fame in Hollywood after working on several films.
Moreover, the studio's earnings weren't distributed as dividends. Instead, Quentin used the money to research holographic technology, achieving significant results that attracted considerable attention from the scientific community.
Quentin was finally no longer the frustrated guy who had to steal glasses from high school students.
Real quick.
The filming of the Wonder Woman movie was nearing its end.
The highly anticipated Stark Expo finally kicked off as well.
The day before the Expo began, Anton, who was in Los Angeles, received an invitation from Tony.
Tony had watched so many of Anton's movies, so naturally, he also hoped Anton would come to his exhibition and take a look at his new creations.
Anton thought about it and decided to go and join the fun.
However, it wasn't to admire the exhibits, but to watch Tony get beaten up.
Even though the plot had changed slightly, Anton believed that Tony getting beaten up was the most anticipated scene and was indispensable.
"When the time comes, I'll take a couple of pictures of Tony getting beat up and put them on the front page of the Daily Bugle the next day. It'll definitely resonate with and be mocked by countless people."
"That's how headlines are made, right?"
"I am worthy of being the boss of the Daily Bugle!"
Anton mused, handing the film crew over to the assistant director. He then, with a clear conscience, gave himself a vacation and returned to New York.
"I'll correct any typos later! Also, I'm a bit stuck... I still need to think some things through!"
