This could have been really easily fixed given Ultron's ability to make new bodies and his circumstances in the movie.
There could have been levels of drone starting with ground bound runners which are in fact more like universal laborers made from whatever easily available materials ultron could find. They're literally scrap bots made of automotive grade aluminum, steel, and salvaged electronic hardware. So of course they're a threat to a normal human, able to take Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Captain Rogers, but complete rubbish against the tougher members of the team. These could be handled mostly by the street level heroes, the police, and maybe some militia rallied by the twins.
Next you have your flyers, visibly bulkier and made of better materials with the obvious glow of an arc power source. These are basically comparable to early mark Iron Man suits and while Tony and Thor can tear them apart by the bakers dozen they're a match one on one for the weaker members of the team and a serious threat to the stronger fighters. These would be fought chiefly by Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Iron Man.
Leading the Flyers would be the 'Alpha'* Flyer which can beat Tony in his latest suit and is a one on one match for the Vision when he shows up. The Alpha doubles as the Spokesbot when it is thematically appropriate for Ultron to be big and menacing but otherwise resembles the lesser bodies.
Finally we have the 'Busters'. Ultron should have pulled all of the Starks tech schematics when he killed Jarvis, he should have known his bodies weren't going to be able to handle the likes of Thor or Hulk and the climax of the battle for the two of them should have been a Trio of Ultron Hulk Busters showing up to fight them mano-a-mano with constant sacrificial assists from the canon fodder to keep the fight nicely in their favor. Nice moment for Hulk/Banner to show he's more than a monster by holding back as Civilians flee in contrast to the Ultron-Busters having no compunctions about going all out among the terrified innocents.
Agreed.
Personally I'm not a fan of the big metal man body, it feels too much like the animators and directors thought that the villain had to have a face to be relatable rather than relying on body language and Spader's simply fantastic voice acting to provide character.
Instead of silver-spader I would have loved to have seen Ultron's spokes-bot be one of Tony's suits, preferably the latest and greatest, stolen right out from under him. Maybe Tony tried to use the suit only to be forcibly spit out when Ultron first appears. To build on this, the Spokes-bot starts off as a standard iron man suit and gradually becomes more alien with each appearance until finally splitting open into a living metal murder machine during its battle with the Vision to fight his counterpart head on.
To build off of the suit idea and seeding distrust among the Avengers. As for why Ultron didn't just kill Tony or trap him inside his suit have a reveal that the Iron Man Suits and the Iron Legion are hardwired to not harm Stark. They can harm everyone else perfectly well and some of the Iron Legion fight suspiciously like they know their opponents moves. Very consistent with Stark's belief that only he can save the world and not even his allies can be trusted.
