I know there have been several discussions about what constitutes a minifig and
I'm sure this must have been brought up before, but in the inventories for
a "complete" Iron Man, Legion, Ultron, etc., why are the bricks round included
for the feet but not the plates for the hands?

Those parts are included in
 
Set No: comcon048  Name: Throne of Ultron - San Diego Comic-Con 2015 Exclusive
* 
comcon048-1 (Inv) Throne of Ultron - San Diego Comic-Con 2015 Exclusive
179 Parts, 4 Minifigures, 2015
Sets: Super Heroes: Avengers Age of Ultron
but even on the box, Ultron isn't
shown using his thrusters, he's sitting on his shiny metal backside.

Those on the hands are shown in place in the images for most sets and could be
considered more important as they're also used as weapons but they're
not included. Personally, I wouldn't include either of them as they're
really added effects.

The catalog/inventories admin team is in the process of writing definitive guidelines
for figures. It is a very complicated topic. We have made it quite far in our
discussions and documentation, but we are stuck in a holding pattern for now
due to circumstances out of our control (read: site administration).

Cheers,
Randy
