In Other Media

Television

Iron Man: The Animated Series

The Hulkbuster armor appears in the Iron Man: The Animated Series episode "Hulk Buster." After Iron Man and the Hulk are accidentally sent back in time by two of the Mandarin's rings, James Rhodes modifies a suit of heavy duty demolition armor Tony had developed so that it can be used to fight the Hulk. When the suit is sent back through the time portal, Tony uses it to hold his own against the Hulk. Curiously, despite the heavily toyetic nature of the series, the Hulkbuster design used in the episode does not match the one in the show's tie-in action figure line.
