Rise of the Machines: Tech Takeover of Marvel & DC earths.
Okay, so I was recently watching the Matrix movies and began wondering what it would be like it the the machines tried to take over the earth in the Marvel & DC Universes. Would they succeed. Let's say that these guys team up to accomplish an earthly takeover.
Phalanx Ultron
Brainiac
Hank Henshaw w/ rings
Nimrod
Super Amazo
Super Adaptoid
Master Mold
Metallo
Team has 1 year to prep. They can use any resources at their disposal and can recruit/takeover any other machines/tech to their team if possible.
For sake of this thread. Marvel & DC earths have merged into 1 giant earth.
What happens.

I say that this Earth wins, because they have two major aces on their sleeves that machines won't be able to overcome:
Massives Brains, and Magic.
While Brainiac and Ultron and pure geniuses, humanity have the likes of Reed Richards, Doctor Doom, Bruce Banner, Hank Pym (you know, the creator of that guy Ultron?), Lex Luthor, Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne, etc, etc. Alone, Richards and Doom would be unstoppable. With those ones to back them up, it clearly seal the deal.
But even before the big brains enter in action, you have powerful magic users right there to ****ed up big time the machines. With Fate, Strange, Zatanna, Alan Scott, Son of Satan and the others, only Adaptoid and Amazo has a chance, and that's if BFR can't be used, because if it can be, this fight will last one hour at best.
How close can they come to succeding with a year prep. I think they can do a lot of damage with a year of prep and the element of surprise. I think that with Ultron and Brainiac it would be possible for them to replicate Amazos powers and with Master Mold they could mass produce millions of super powered sentinels.

they will never cooperate with each other, most of them would attempt to override the rest
while the bots have a civil war for the entire prep year, batman, pym, and all the other the big brains decide to colony drop antarctic vibranium on all of them.
If Earth knew of the attack then they would have a chance but it's an entire year of prep for the techno lords the amass enough resources to take out the big guns within the first hour of their conquest. How does Doom, Reed, Banner, or Hank counter their tech going self destruct on them?
Recall when IM had his entire body morphed into Ultron? Doom is getting his armor hacked by Ultron whole simply warp and crush Doom inside his armor. Ultron was taking over other techs within seconds. Backed by Brainiac, even Doom wouldn't know what happened. Likely the first target due to being Doom and his time platform.
Reed, Pym, and Banner all rely on tech that could easily be hacked and used on them off the bat within minutes as well. Their most immediate techs around them would turn into Phalanxes and kill them on the spot.
As for the mages, how do they fare against nukes that detonate about two blocks from their vicinity without any warnings? I'll take a wild guess and say most of them die. And no, I wouldn't say it'd be a problem for Brainiac to teleport well placed hidden nukes to take out the mages.
All of Earth's tech including the Fortress of Solitude, Batcave, Four Freedoms Plaza, Latvia, the Infinity Mansion, Banner Tech, etc. would be targeted for assimilation as weapons against their creators and the mages. The telepathics are likely useless against the fodders of Earth bot soldiers.
If everyone is forgetting, here's some feats that would be evidence for the machines easily winning this.
Female Ultron easily took over all of Earth's tech and raped IM in minutes.
Phalanx Ultron have no trouble overwhelming an entire race of Phalanx to his will.
Hank Pym fearing Ultron's access to his Infinite Mansion would give him access to attack anywhere in space. Pym's entire mansion and army of Jocasta were taken hold.
Brainiac taking ahold of War World.
Nimrod successfully putting Juggernaut in place using tight and sonic beams on the guy.
The mages are eating nukes for the most part. And if it came down to it, it wouldn't be hard to imagine the bots building a spire or turning satellites into neuro-disruptors based on Nimrod's weapon.
As soon as this fight starts, the big guns are all targeted wiped out while the rest of the heroes get their brains scrambled and all their techs forming into Phalanxes and killing them.

They'd have a good chance of taking over with a year of planning. They know all the big guns and they have guys like Amazo who can secretly copy the powers of a number of key heavy hitters.
The group can then adapt their technology in parallel to the level of augmentation of Amazo. And finally, they have the resources to easily multiply themselves digitally as well as physically with hardware.
They have every chance.

aren't the infinity gems still on marvel earth? you could take out this entire team with the time or space gems and be nowhere near Amazo or Adaptoid to allow them to copy it.
