The event would draw enough attention for Recorder 451 to steal the Iron Man Armor from the evidence vault and give it to Tony Stark in order to escape.

[2] Recorder 451 hired Death's Head to bring him Tony Stark to an abandoned Badoon ship, where he started showing him an old tape his father apparently left him, in which he was going to reveal and explain him an alliance he had years ago with 451.

[3] It was revealed to Tony Stark that Recorder 451 came to Earth years ago in order to stop an alien race called the Greys from crushing humanity as soon as the earthlings were technologically developed enough,[4] but was captured.

Back in the present, Recorder 451 revealed the true reason why he needed Tony Stark: to make him the nuclear deterrent of Earth, the pilot of a 25,000 feet-tall suit called the Godkiller Armor.

[8] Recorder 451 battled Iron Man - who managed to access to his mobile armory and remotely control other armors - in order to force him pilot the Godkiller, but the Recorder couldn't hack Tony Stark's suits because they were being directly wired to Tony Stark's armor, protected by a sealed system.

After being shown personally by Tony Stark that he couldn't pilot the armor, Recorder 451 ordered the Godkiller to abort his mission, thus saving Earth.

[9] Tony Stark managed to hack into Recorder 451's databases and get the access code, being able to escape the Godkiller just in time as it faded to another dimension.
