Iron Man armor - Official Discussion Thread

[Ironman50780]

Still no news on what Mark V looks like?
Will there even be a Mark V

[bossman550]

from what i hear yeah

[Gold Samurai]

A poster and a toy so far of the Mark V. I'm guessing due to Stark's chest arc reactor poisoning he'll move to Mark V unibeam look

The whole point of Iron Man is the evolution of the armors. I doubt Stark will stick with the Mark IV for the whole movie.

Actually, that's been called into question a bit, since one of the key scenes with the new triangular uni-beam (the missile scene, supposedly part of the final fight sequence) is shown in the leaked trailer as being the regular Mk4 circle.

Whether it was placeholder CG or they scrapped the triangular armor remains to be seen.

Perhaps there's some crossed wires somewhere, and this missile scene is in fact not from the end of the movie.

Not just the triangle is new. Note the upper arms have no grooves, extra gold on forearms, chest is more segmented. I like it.

[Bruce Malone]

Hey question, in the comics why did the iron man chest piece evolve from its original circle design to the the triangle one in the first place?

[RealIrOnMaN]

Bruce Malone
Because the writers wanted so, not because of Tony. It all started with Silver Centurion armor... and ended at the Extremis armor)

[RealIrOnMaN]

Bruce Malone
Sorry!! IT ALL STARTED WITH THE SPACE ARMOR MARK I! Yeah...

[bossman550]

mark 5 seems more jagged

[Verbal21]

Why are his chest and abdomen like that? protruding in a triangular fashion. Who thought this was a good idea?

Don't know who's idea, but I like it

[kedrell]

I like that it's slimmer. Unless we're going into specialized armors like the Hulkbuster, as Tony's tech advances the armors should be able to do more while taking up less space.

[kedrell]

Also what I would like(as any real Iron Man fan would) are some stats and tech info released about the armors as they get introduced. Like on the DVD. The first film's DVD didn't have that and it was almost as big a letdown as their being no commentary for the movie. Now I understand they really jumped right into making the 2nd film, so that may be why they didn't have the commentary, but Iron Man fans live for the techno-babble about the different armor's capabilities and design specs.

[camp Blood]

i own iron man on blue ray and it has a hall of armor special feature with specs on all the armors including monger

[DarthDaveBanner]

I'm glad there's only minor changes to the armours - the suit in the first one was one of the best costume adaptations ever and so if it aint broke...

[kedrell]

That there is the problem. I didn't see that on the regular DVD(no I'm not talking about the plain, bare-bones one). I'm not getting a Blue Ray player until I know it's here to stay.

Blu-Ray is here to stay. It beat HD-DVD in the high definition format war and I can't see anything else coming along to compete now that B-Ray is established with players already mass produced.

I wouldn't get one myself just yet as they are too expensive: Just as DVD players were very expensive and came down in price dramatically over the years, so will Blu Ray players (you'll also find better features on the later models too, like Divx/Xvid support, USB connectivity and good compatibility with self-burned discs)

[I Am The Bat]

I'm not sure on this, but I think the toy companies (even the promo toys associated with the movie) aren't really associated with the movie itself - I mean I remember Spider-Man having some sort of "Spidey-Jet Pack" or "Spidey motorcycle" when SM3 came out...

Maybe that's when the Mk4 gets trashed.

[Aesop Rocks]

That's what I'm thinking.

[Gold Samurai]

The Mark III could survive a hit from a tank shell. I guess multiple missiles will do a number on the Mark IV.

[Aesop Rocks]

Barely survived the hit though. A second one would have done massive damage.

[Rain]

It would really suck if those were Jericho Missiles.

[Aesop Rocks]

Lol!

[Gold Samurai]

Bought by Justin Hammer, and then as Stark is evading a missile he makes a quip

"I hate those things!"

;)

Barely survived the hit though. A second one would have done massive damage.

Speaking of damage. It was really interesting to see that the armor wasn't 100% invincible since you could see shell piercings once Iron Man landed and took care of those terrorists.

Fair enough, but why do they only put the good stuff on the Blue Ray discs? Pisses me off sometimes. I mean with Watchmen, you don't get the commentary except on the Blue Ray version.:cmad:

[UnionJack]

I'm liking that they are keeping the helmet the same and not changing it all the time.

Makes my replica still good and relevant :D

[Masterle247]

i can ber that the mark 4 will get destroyed or too damage and the he upgrades his armor to markv "triangle arc reactor

[Masterle247]

Don't know who's idea, but I like it
most likely Phil Saunders idea

[Troy_Parker]

So does Tony switch to a triangular A/R because his old one gets infected or something (the scene we see in the trailer) ..?

[WindsofHorus]

So does Tony switch to a triangular A/R because his old one gets infected or something (the scene we see in the trailer) ..?

That's probably the best theory. It would also explain why he's looking into his fathers old ideas for power that were ahead of it's time

[Shadow-Guardian]

I like how the MK4 looks more sleeker, more angile. Less bulky. I like the curves on the legs and like the new chest and shoulder pads. Lookin gooooooood. I also like how it's a lot more red and gold.

[TheVileOne]

Wait, what trailer, or are you guys talking about the Con footage?

What's this infection?

[wobbly]

Wait, what trailer, or are you guys talking about the Con footage?

What's this infection?


There's a split second shot of Tony with his chest exposed showing dark/black veins branching across his chest around his arc reactor. This suggests either his body is rejecting the reactor or it has been infected in some way.

[TheVileOne]

Was this shot in the Con footage?

[Troy_Parker]

^^ Yup, haven't you seen it?..it was all over YouTube - still is I think.

[camp Blood]

who here likes the circle reactor and who likes the triangle.

[Keyser Soze]

who here likes the circle reactor and who likes the triangle.

I like both. But I'm open to the film incorporating the triangle reactor to synch up his appearance a little more with his current comic look.

[Troy_Parker]

I want a Rectangular Arc Reactor. :o

[Shadow-Guardian]

In all honesty, I don't like the triangle chest piece. Circle just looks better imo.

[Mr. Earle]

I hope he gets more gadgets and weapons this time around.
I would appreciate a Mark V with a more evolved look. I'd like a new helmet as well. This helmet is fantastic, but it should evolve as well you know?
How about this? Its about the same, only a bit swoopier... (its a mix of the film helmet and the extremis one)
http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9682/1232676591589.jpg

[camp Blood]

what if has a circle reactor in his body and a triangular adapter on his suit (whatever you call that plugs in from the suit to the reactor in his chest)

That is the Extremis Helmet

[Mr. Earle]

That is the Extremis Helmet
The jaw is definitely more angular, more 3d (the yellow part bending around the face) and more like the movie helmet than the extremis one. I think its a merger of the two.

But the body is extremis all the way. Which is a very pretty and sleek suit. I only dislike that triangular bulge under his chest. What the hell is up with that? Its completely unnatural.

[Saint]

It's the Extremis helmet; Adi Granov simply adjusted some of his original design elements--probably because, as he explained, working on the Iron Man movie gave him a better understanding of how to design armour that could exist in real space--that means a helmet that could actually fit over a person's head, and so on. Hence, his later Iron Man covers, following his work on the film, all feature some slight adjustments to the Extremis armour, compared to his original design from the Extremis arc.

Huh, that would explain it. Because at first, the yellow part where his mouth is didnt wrap around the face. It was completely flat.
In any case, this refined extremis looks amazing!

[WindsofHorus]

The Extremis is my favorite.. Extremis was my first Iron Man comics, so it's got that sentimental attachment for me, just like the Modular Armor (from the 1994 cartoon and action figures)

And I always wondered that about the bulge myself..

[Mr. Earle]

Extremis looks so streamlined and slim... Its like its not an armour, but one piece of metal forged into this shape... Sometimes its even drawn too slim! For example Cap looking more massive than Tony in Extremis, a metal suit of armour!
Anyway, I thought that they designed the Mark III to look fatter and less advanced on purpose so that he could get the Extremis (in design at least) in a later film. Actually, even the Mark III is too advanced to be his second suit (the mark II is practically the same) but it seems like the film couldnt waste any time on interim suits (If they had time they could have made the Mark II a different design and use it in a fight).

I suppose they did their own thing with the suit, without trying to copy the comic books. And its good since Granov improved his designs after his experience with the movie designs as Saint said.

[Mr. Earle]

I was thinking that the gloves of the Mark IV, being slim and all, cant possibly facilitate a missile, or that pop-out shield he used at the end of the film. I suppose that they would want to use new gadgets in this one, and not reuse the ones from the first film... but the new design doesnt leave much space for gadgets in the gloves anyway.

[camp Blood]

other then a circle or a superman diamond what shape would you make the suit chest reactor

[Mr. Earle]

other then a circle or a superman diamond what shape would you make the suit chest reactor....I dunno... a bat shape? Lol

[Shadow-Guardian]

The shape of Chuck Norris.


...I WIN THE INTERNET.

[Iron_Stark]

Imagine Bruce Wayne in an Iron Man suit, not even Galactus or Darkseid combined would be able to defeat him. :woot:

Well maybe instead of giving him a sheild the armor would give him more ability. Instead of the sheild maybe a force field or somthing like off of IMAA that would be cool it might work against whiplash who eventually might break it.

I like it, although IMO Wonder Woman and Thor should be merged, since despite gender differences they are the most similar to each other in their respective universes.

Also, oddly enough "Captainman" has appeared in official (non-canon) comics before, although his canon name is "Super Soldier." He's from some kind of algamation universe where Lex Luthor becomes "The Green Skull."

Fairly interesting concept designs, I like them all. The only one that doesn't seem to fit logically is Captainman, as technically speaking, there is nothing of Cap's that Superman would need to have absorbed into his powers. The superior fighting skills are unecessary when you are Superman, as would be the shield. Still, looks good though.

[kedrell]

^I think it mainly has to do with them both being the resident boy scouts of their companies.

[The Caped Knight]

I'm guessing it's no coincidence that the Mark V is featured in the current Iron Man vs. Whiplash mini-series arc comic. It's probably tptb way to promote the movie which will feature the mark V armor.

The only part of the new suit I can't seem to warm to are the "overall straps" that come up over the trapezius area. They don't seem to serve any obvious purpose and look a bit sloppy in some shots. Anyone else agree?

could you circle them in paint don't see them the only round metal things i see are in the armpit area

[Thot]

They are the red 'strap'-like bands that are on either side of his neck. They look sort of like the denim straps that overalls have that come over the trapezius and button on the upper chest area. They look odd to me and rather superfluous.

Those "straps" are stabilizers for flight. I noticed a differance in the thigh armor.

I'm thinking their shoulder cannons or possibly sonic waves to use against hulk. Though they could just be what Spidey-Quad said and their just flight stabilizers.

The giant robot is probabily just a toy, like the many variant armors. If you notice, there's also an Iron-mobile instead of Stark's race car.

[darknight7]

I'm not to familiar with the Iron Man story/books/etc. So I was curious about the triangle chest piece. Is there a reason for Stark changing it, or is it just because he is Tony Stark and he does what he wants?

I just wasn't sure if it served a purpose, or if he just does it for fun? I understand it may tough to answer this because in the comics it doesn't really need an explanation, and since the new movie isn't out yet no one really knows the answer according to film.

Sooo, if anyone does have an educated guess or definite answer, I'd love to hear it. :)

I'm not hating on the new costume, just curious. (although at the moment I'm a fan of the circular chest piece :))

--dk7

[protocida]

No particular reason. By the time Stark started using the triangular reactor, he had alredy been given an artificial heart by the Living Armor, one of his suits, brought to life by a lightning and with a psychotic obssesion with him.

There is a theory, that Stark's original arc reactor will be infected by one of Justin Hammer's weapons or by someone else.

That will be the reason, why he (Stark) will change his arc reactor and armor, again - to save himself.

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

The giant robot is probabily just a toy, like the many variant armors. If you notice, there's also an Iron-mobile instead of Stark's race car.
I hope so, because that would be a major disappointment if he got into some Wild, Wild West spider-bot.

Alright that's cool. I just wonder why the shape of it matters (but I guess if there is an explanation for why he needs a new piece than it will explain the reasoning for the shape)

Well the fisrt one was made with limited resources and even after he came back to civilization, the next generation of it that he makes STILL has to fit into that circular chest socket he has. But I'm guessing with the triangle one, that's not going to be a necessary consideration any more so he can explore a design that is even more effective than the circular arc reactor.

[camp Blood]

Could the triangle just be part of the armor and not the reactor itself?

[RealIrOnMaN]

Could the triangle just be part of the armor and not the reactor itself?
Well, looking at the trailer, concepta and recent arc reactors from Hasbro, I can say, that we will see triangle as a part of the armor's chestpiece, and as Tony's new arc reactor.

[camp Blood]

Ok as long as it looks awesome

I honestly hope there is a good story telling element for having all these armors. Cause it gets to the point with me where it's like ... YEAAAA ok. I mean the Mark IV makes sense cause the Mark III got damaged to hell in the end of the first movie. Visually at first glance, there is little difference between the Mark III and Mark IV. But a Mark V, just to get to a mark VI? Uhhh, ok. I hope they explain the differences between the armors and their purpose, and have some credibility.

Does that video still work? I just see a red X like a broken picture link.

[camp Blood]

I think the mark V armor will be an emergecy armor for when a villain gets the jump on him but it won't be as powerful or offer as much protection as the mark iv or vi

[storyteller]

If the new trailer is any indication...........its going to one hell of a whipping.

[SpideyZERO]

Wow at the Mark V Armor....speechless. It's damn cool!!!

[TheVileOne]

Having multiple armors keeps in theme with the comics.

Tony has also gone through MULTIPLE stories where he's switching armor left and right. It's been conveniently toyetic, but in the comics Iron Man has had armor for just about every type of situation.

Mark V is his suitcase armor and I imagine Mark VI is his slightly upgraded third act armor.

[SpideyZERO]

I was hoping that Mark IV and VI to have more differences besides the arc reactor. Except that, I don't really see much differences

[Hype_BEAST]

I was hoping that Mark IV and VI to have more differences besides the arc reactor. Except that, I don't really see much differences
There isn't much of a difference between the Mark IV and the Mark III, either.

That's why I'm :dry: to 3 new armors, for virtually no reason.

There isn't much visual difference to any of them.

Which lends me to the conclusion that they better have ample story telling reasons for the switches.

[Judson Caspian]

This is more like a question than criticism; why couldn't the Mark V suit have looked like this, or similar to it:

http://i49.tinypic.com/2lxv041.jpg

?

[Shadow-Guardian]

Considering the suit folds into a suitcase, I seriously doubt it'll look just like the MK3. It needs to transform, unfold, etc etc. Think about it.

[Judson Caspian]

Shouldn't that rule apply to the mask as well then? It looks exactly the same. Why not the armor chest too.

[SpideyZERO]

I guess they need to make the armor looks distinct from the other versions. Mark IV and VI already look very familiar. But I think they should at least make the mask looks bit different

[Judson Caspian]

No. It should just look like the image above. There's no reason to fix what's not broken.

[KenK]

I love that he's got emergency suitcase armor!!!

[camp Blood]

i also like how he puts it on weird but i could see it working in real life

[Scorpion Soldier]

Shouldn't that rule apply to the mask as well then? It looks exactly the same. Why not the armor chest too.
The mask isn't 1 piece on the Mark V, it has multiple parts that fit together forming the mask.
Picture(right before the mask is done transforming).

[Colossal Spoons]

Considering the suit folds into a suitcase, I seriously doubt it'll look just like the MK3. It needs to transform, unfold, etc etc. Think about it.

The suitcase armor will never make sense dimensionally; all that would just never fit into a compact briefcase. It just looks cool to some people, but I'm glad they bothered to show it unfolding. Not like the cartoons where it just appeared on his body like magic lol.

[DocHoliday]

I love the suitcase armor. At least what have seen of it.

[Mr. Earle]

I was thinking that the Mark V will probably not have flight capabilities. First of all, almost every surface of the Mark 3 served as moving flaps to direct air flow so that IM could navigate during flight. I dont think Mk V would have all that, being portable, and flimsy and all.
Secondly, if i am not mistaken, it has its own power source so maybe it wont be large enough for something as energy consuming as flight.
And finally, i think that if he could fly he would have done so against Whippy. Granted we dont see the whole fight, but if he ever takes off during that fight, it will instantly be over for Vanko.

[Judson Caspian]

The mask isn't 1 piece on the Mark V, it has multiple parts that fit together forming the mask.
Picture(right before the mask is done transforming).

And when the mask is done transforming, it looks exactly the same, except it's partly silver colored. This, however, is a totally different issue:

http://i47.tinypic.com/o8a3bq.jpg
http://i46.tinypic.com/ih3c7b.jpg

See anything particular? I sure do.

[SpideyZERO]

I think it will at least have some sort of low flight ability, like temporary hover or something.

I just hope it will get to kick Whiplash's ass or not get too damaged in that battle. I was kinda meh on the Mark V toy but that trailer just won me over!

[Mr. Earle]

Well who can blame you? The action figures looked horrible. I think Hot Toys will make a great Mk V.

It's not just the toys. That's not far from the look Mark V has in the comics since God knows when.

Well we can sort of assume based on other stuff we've seen that Whiplash's attack fails and he gets captured and put in a french jail. It's alll about how it's executed. Whiplash, while outgunned on paper against an Iron Man armor, can easily make up for that by being a more skilled fighter, a more viscious/opponent + the element of suprise.

[Paroxysm]

suite case armor :up:

[slothbp]

Do yous guy Iron Man 3 will use the Extremis armor, where Tony can use his army with his mind? I never thought I'd see his suitcase armor. If his suit evolved that much after 6 momths, well, we can only speculate at this point. But, I 'd love to see him invent the Extremis, or something close to it, anyway. What do you think?

[Hype_BEAST]

"Mark V" TRANSFORMERS + TONY STARK = Collective fanboy orgasm.

haha

[Mr. Earle]

Maybe sometime in the future he will use the Extremis armour but its too early for the time being. Its as awesome a suit up way as it can be and you cannot top it.

Since he cant fit his standard armours (mark IV, VI, etc) in the suitcase, at some point he'll have to figure out some way to take them everywhere with him. Not long ago i proposed that he installs those mechanical arms in the trunk of his car and they would suit him up anywhere. I think we ll see Extremis at some point.

Here's how Tony wears the Extremis armour:

Because that's nothing more than a repaint of the Mark III 6 inch action figure!

Also I love the armor up sequence there. Is it just me or is it not similar to the 1990's cartoon suitcase armor up sequence? I just wonder if that was intentional on the part of ILM and Favreau.

of and mr.earle i though of something that lends to your MARK V doesn't fly theory. didn't tony put the gold titanium on to help prevent icing at high altitudes well if the mark v doesn't fly (at least as high as the other armors) then it wont have a need to prevent freezing and thats why its silver and red the the silver centurion armor

Incredibly wicked. I was not expecting them to incorporate the suitcase. :up:

[camp Blood]

i know and thats why they have it at the very end of the trailer so you left wanting to see more. i dig how the suit looks like scales

[TheVileOne]

C'mon that reminds you of the armor up sequence from the 90's cartoon right guys? Right?!

Why are you guys posting pictures of that action figure? What is the point?

Yes. :D

Although, on the show, I thought it was kinda cheesy,even knowing it had its roots in the books; it fit in with the show. What was in the trailer is just plain goodness. I'm going to stare at that gif for way too long.

[TheVileOne]

Of course it was a cheesy 1990's Iron Man cartoon.

But I mean, right here it actually looks seamless and realistic and even FEASIBLE rather than the weird CG element on the cartoon and Stark's sort of wired up leotard/undersuit that materializes out of nowhere.

Of course technology like this does not exist right now, but it looks like it COULD in that clip.

[Spidey-Quad]

I agree Mr. J the suitcase rrr-ocks! I'm not sure what Judson Caspion is trying to say, but mind reading hurts my head.

Iron Man 2 looking right on point so far.

I just can't get over the Silver & red armour! I need specs, capabilities, AAAHHH!

Oops, nerdgasm :) A messy thang

Also it looks like Vanko is able to do a little damage to Stark in the armor. Anyone have that gif of him tossing Marv V Iron Man from around the neck with his whips?

Unfortunately, I see that suitcase armor not being nearly as powerful as his normal one. It looks like an "In case of emergency" thing.

Probably the only reason Whiplash is able to lay a hand or whip on him at the track. Realistically, a ranged fighter like Vanko should/would never be able to land a hit on a flier.

[Raiden]

yeah it doesn't look all that souped up detailed. I imagine he had to leave stuff out to keep it lighter and so it could fit in the case.

I think it makes sense that the suitcase armor won't be as powerful as his Mark armors, otherwise why not use it all the time? It still looks awesome and I'm sure the audience will be blown away by it. I won't be surprised if someone in the military asks the question "Can we make an armor like that?" :oldrazz:

[JerseyJoker]

I love that Fav's was smart enough to make the Silver Centurion armor a bit low-key in detail and equipment.

It makes perfect sense since it took an entire machine set up to install and remove the MK II/III armor from him in the first movie, so to make it suitcase capable, you would have to remove and leave off some parts.

Both makes it assessable to wear , but also leaving some vulnerability if IM is going against a heavy powered weapon.

[hame4479]

So I take it Rockwell's character is playing both sides of the fence .... as in supplying Whiplash with his gear and drones, as well as the military with War Machine?

Im pretty sure he is supplying the military with the drones as well. That is why when war machine is introduced the drones are in the background, there is one for every section of the military, sea, air, heavy artillary, and CQC.

If he was able to make the Mark l fly albeit briefly, then I don't see why the far more advanced Mark V can't. I was actually very suprised that they made the Mark l fly. I expected him to just have to walk to civilization like in the comics.

[TheVileOne]

LOL seriously guys WHY SO SERIOUS?

Can't you guys just like both?

I mean Favreau liked Dark Knight.

[mikey1974]

here's a question for the "Armor Experts" out there...

are there 2 different versions of thw Mark VI ? i ask because i've seen pictures where it looks very similar to the Mark IV with red and gold pieces on the biceps and thighs ,albeit with the triangle Arc Reactor....but i've also seen,like everyone else,the pics where it's different in the respect of having all gold biceps and thighs,with gunmetal grey armor pieces on them...

are both in the movie? or did they decided to change it while filming? just wondering

[hame4479]

The one with the gunmetal is the actual mark VI it is sleeker, more refined, and a tad bit smaller than the other suit. In fact the other suit just looks exactly like the mark IV with a different chest piece.

[Whiskey Tango]

I'll tell ya, people, I squealed a little when I realized what the briefcase armor was.

I also peed a few drops but the less said about that, the better.

[mikey1974]

The one with the gunmetal is the actual mark VI it is sleeker, more refined, and a tad bit smaller than the other suit. In fact the other suit just looks exactly like the mark IV with a different chest piece.

ah...so the first version is basically just the Mark IV with a new chestpiece, while the gold and gunmetal one is the actual new suit Mark VI ?

guess what i'm asking is,are there 2 suits in the film with the triangular Arc Reactor in it ?

RealIrOnMaN posted a small blurb about the Mark V. It has flight but only for a short time.

Emergency armor that's not as powerful at the Mark 4 also.

Tony Stark is caught unaware by a surprise attack by the crazed Russian rogue Ivan "Whiplash" Vanko! Luckily, he's got the powerful, portable Mark V armor with him.

The one drawback to the IRON MAN armor is that it isn't very portable, so it's only available when Tony Stark is home. That's why he invented the Suitcase Armor. Though not as powerful as other suits, it's light and compact enough to take almost anywhere, concealed in a simple suitcase.

[Venomfan]

i keep seeing people call it the silver centurion armor, is that what it actually is? if so i'm disappointed because the comic book version looks way cooler. this armor is cool as its own thing, but not as the silver centurion

[Colossal Spoons]

It just looks like a head nod to comic fans, not the actual Silver Centurion

[SpideyZERO]

The pic with all four Iron Man armor is interesting. It shows that Mark IV is awaitng "upgrade", so maybe Tony upgrades it with new arc reactor, this might explain why both armor looks so similar, essentially a same one with new reactor

[TheVileOne]

Its just that the color scheme is SIMILAR to that of the silver centurion armor

Guys don't take it so seriously. Just like Tony Stark used to carry the armor in his briefcase, they nod to that here and the silver centurion variation with the color scheme.

I mean the Mark I armor visually looks a lot like the first suit from the comics though a little more raw and rough since it's built from scraps.

[Judson Caspian]

but mind reading hurts my head.
Try reading the post instead.

[the alamo rippe]

Question since war machine or james Rhodes is in the air force.. why does he get attacked by the drones? that are for the military and since hes helping tony does he get in trouble? r will he get discharged

and also does the war machine armor belong to the government? or what

[Colossal Spoons]

^Some serious questions, we'll have your answers in May :p

[LightningFlash]

It looks like the silver centurion armor, yes, but it's only called MARK V in the Iron Man films, as all of Stark's armors are called that(the word 'mark' with a roman numeral). I doubt we'll get a named armor, as "Space Armor", or even a "Hulkbuster" armor. The latter armor might show up in an Avengers movie, but I see it just being called Mark VII or VIII(incase Stark goes through yet another upgrade before a Hulkbuster-type armor).

Question since war machine or james Rhodes is in the air force.. why does he get attacked by the drones? that are for the military and since hes helping tony does he get in trouble? r will he get discharged

and also does the war machine armor belong to the government? or what

At first, the government wants Tony Stark's blueprints of the Iron Man armor, and when they do receive the blueprints, they are sent to Justin Hammer. And also during this time, Rhodey is given a chance to lead Hammer's drones with a revamped Mark II(War Machine). War Machine leads the drones to go after Iron Man, but then later on in the film, the drones go haywire, as well as War Machine realizing what he was doing was wrong, thus at the end, or close to it, Iron Man and War Machine end up taking on the drones. I highly doubt Rhodey will get in trouble with the government/military. Hammer will just likely get in trouble, and all trouble that is blamed on Stark and/or Rhodes will cease to exist.

[Tcrumzz]

be cool if at the end of the film they show a shot of a mark vii under construction

I can't wait to see the full fight scene with Tony and Whiplash in this armor.

I'm assuming Tony kicks his ass here, and that's how he ends up in jail, when they are talking to each other. Then the scene where he blows up the prison and walks out, and then goes to work for Hammer.

Just speculation on my part, nothing I'm basing this on other than trying to piece the scenes together in my head.

anyway does anybody else think he was testing a new arc reactor glass shield thing with that laser rig

I think he's creating a more powerful arc reactor. That's why it's got the triangular lattice now.

i thought he was testing to see if its laser proof

[Kahoot]

Didn't you watch the episode? It wasn't such a good idea coz it repelled bullets into civilians.

[kedrell]

That's Batman's problem. Iron Man has no such worries. His armor already does that. And it wasn't civilians in that episode, it was the crooks who were getting hit with their own ricochets. For some silly reason, Batman had a problem with that. I guarantee Iron Man wouldn't.

[Kahoot]

Iron Mans might not care about the thugs getting ricochets but if there were civilians/hostages they'd be in trouble.

[camp Blood]

Well I wasn't worried about small arms but I was thinking that he could use it to keep those 50. Cal bullets from hitting him to hard

[kedrell]

.50 cal bullets gave the Mark 1 a hard time(what the terrorist up on the ridge was firing at him with) but would hardly be noticed by the later armors. The Mark 3 got a direct hit with a tank shell and survived. But the energy shield could be useful for other threats(directed energy weapons, people with directed energy powers, more extremely harsh conditions like inside a volcano for instance, etc.).

[Gold Samurai]

i thought he was testing to see if its laser proof

He was trying to control the power output beam. He had to redirect that laser into the new reactor to power it up.

[camp Blood]

I get that he was shooting a laser into the reactor to power it up, but what is the following explosion, overcharge maybe

[Gold Samurai]

Yeah overloading the particle accelerator he built

http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2807/2yns4fr.jpg

i'm betting the explosion will create the reactor and no one will be able to recreate the same conditions so they won't be able to steal the tri reactor.

The new reactor could be like flubber :)

[camp Blood]

Exactly plus i think it will be near indestructable and no longer be Tonys weak spot cause in the trailer to me it looks like him and war machine are focusing on the arc reactors

[kedrell]

I don't think the explosion with the glass room is from the same scene. Just a guess though. And it looked like he was using that laser to cut a triangle out of that material to me.

[camp Blood]

maybe, that sounds reasonable i could see that the new arc shield is so strong that only a concentrated laser beam can cut it maybe its a weird type of diamond

[Gold Samurai]

I think it could be a diamond or new material
