Tony's work on creating large robots was not going as smoothly as he expected. He though that just because he has the source of unlimited energy, making everything else work would be easy.

Tony decided to start with Zaku for his first test. They were basic mob units so it shouldn't take a very long time.

With the models as base, Tony only had to replace the plastic model with their mechanical counter part.

Tony had already created a skeleton frame. Since Tony's aim was a mass production unit, he refrained from using vibranium on the body. Even with the mine in Wakanda, it was still a considerably rare metal. Tony wasn't going to waste the metal on some robot that he might leave behind later to self destruct.

That lack of vibranium is where the problem began.

Tony had already created the robots arms and legs. They are able to move properly on their own. Their movement speed was also satisfactory for a prototype.

It would still be overtaken by any Iron Man suit but the robot wasn't designed to fight against something that small.

But when the whole thing was assembled, the weight of all the parts combined made the movement of the body slow. It came to the point that any normal person could run away from it just by jogging.

Tony tried to ramp up the output of the actuators. It worked but that increased the stress on the components and lead to faster wear and tear. The robot ended up needing maintenance very frequently.

Tony scanned the prototype and placed the virtual model in combat simulations against itself. The robot could last a single battle with heavy damages but it would not be able to last a full blown war. Tony wasn't satisfied with that result.

Tony tried testing different metals, alloys, and composite materials. The performance improved with better metals and alloys but the problem still remained. Tony used the materials found on Earth and there is nothing he could do since that is the current limit of Earth's material science.

Tony wanted a new toy to play with so he decided to tackle this problem. He created 3 separate plans to solve this problem..

First, he started designing exosuits and spacesh.i.p.s suitable for mass production.

He would send the spacesh.i.p.s out to the asteroid belt. His clones would then start drilling into the asteroids, breaking them until they found what they wanted.

Tony was reluctant to use Vibranium since it was not that abundant. Since Vibranium came from a meteorite, Tony decided to just search the solar system for more of those things.

Tony might as well start exploring the solar system. He also wanted to start marking his territory before all other aliens start claiming planets in the solar system.

Tony's second plan was less aggressive. He set up more of his clones to start doing research on all kinds of new materials. He was originally planning to wait for the recipe for adamantium to appear. But his new project made him want to do things.

Creating his new toy is enough reason for him to start developing more kinds materials.

Tony did not restrict this to just creating new materials. While he was at it, he also sent some clones to go learn about forging by hand. He sent his clones to learn them from all around the world.

-----

Third. He decided to try and use the metal obtained from the Kree spacesh.i.p.s.

Kree Empire has such a huge territory that they should have a space fleet to protect them. That means a lot more sources of possible materials for Tony.

Since one of Tony's clones(Anakin) is already in the middle of a war with the Kree, it wasn't that hard to grab some spacesh.i.p.s after a skirmish.

The only problem is Carol Danvers. She wasn't particularly supportive of eradicating all enemies at the moment so Anakin would need to figure out how to pack the enemies in a single escape pod. It might get very uncomfortable but this is war and they are already lucky to keep their lives.

______

With all of Tony's clones working on their tasks, Tony decided to take a break. He went to one of his alma maters and meet some friends.
