Iron Man armor - Official Discussion Thread

[camp Blood]

do you guys know if there will be more armors in the second. i'm not talking the huge armory he eventually has but you know 3 or 4 different armors would be cool

[count_nickula]

The MKIII was pretty rooted at the end of the first film, most noticeably the helmet. He could have atleast one new one straight up! If we're lucky.

N x

[Superhero 101]

I want the MkIII to get destroyed and want Tony to wear Extermis Armor

[camp Blood]

i wanna see his stealth armor. and i want it to look like the mk3 banged a stealth fighter. i might do a pic

[SpideyZERO]

I hope for different armors/parts swapping/add-ons. And full power battles, not that nerfed Mark III VS an already powerful Iron Monger

[Casius--J]

I hope for different armors/parts swapping/add-ons. And full power battles, not that nerfed Mark III VS an already powerful Iron Monger

I agree, I want to see some upgrades!!

[Compi716]

You can bet the rent there will be new armors. We're talking about a high-grossing film with an action figure line. The first film had three armors, I expect no different from IM2.

[Armored Avenger]

I really want to see the Silver Centurion Armor in a future film.

[Iron_Stark]

That sounds like the pitch for Batman & Robin.

Personally I hope they keep it at a minimum.

[Arthas]

Upgrades FTW!!

[Compi716]

That sounds like the pitch for Batman & Robin.

Personally I hope they keep it at a minimum.
You wouldn't be wrong about that. That IS the pitch for BR. The only difference with IM2 is that they actually care about a little aspect called the story.

[GL1]

I hope to see Tony come back to the Mk III at the end of Iron Man 3. I'd like to see some new stuff, even some kind of epic Mk IV, inspired by the Silver Centurion or Extremis or what have you, that for whatever reason gets jacked up in the mid-movie conflict.

I think more than one or two upgrades will seem trite, and I'd rather they stay away from that.

[gingysheringham]

sorry if this has already been posted (and also if you im posting in the wrong section).
in the end credits yanno how there are all those cool blueprint things? well one of them looks like war machine

here, looky

[camp Blood]

what if the stealth armor had reduced armor plateing for mobility and looked like a ninja . i'm not talking cyborg ninja from MGS i'm taling tenchu and **** with the hoods and shuriken

[[A]]

no hulkbuster* armor, please




*or whatever

[Iron_Stark]

For Tony, the Mark III early in the film, then upgrades to the Mark IV for the remainder of the movie and the War Machine Armor for Rhodey. There's the three different suits, just like the last one.

Too many different armors and it's going to be Batman & Robin all over again.

[camp Blood]

but it dosen't have to be like b & r. what if he needed to use the suit in space

[louiebling$]

I think he should alot of armors for different uses like an aquatic armor, Stealth armor and space armor... that's the thing about tony... he is always striving to make upgrades to his suit and making it better that's why he's had so many armors

[camp Blood]

plus you know if hes going into battle he would want a suit with heavy armor almost like warmachine but not as heavy

[Leto]

I would like to see specialized armors like underwater and stealth suits, but only if they can be worked into the plot fluidly. The Silver Centurion armor could be interesting to see as well. War Machine of course.

What might be a good compromise would be to show a hall of experimental armors that Tony has been developing, but doesn't have to use.

[camp Blood]

what about mods? what if instead of having different suits hes had mods for his armor to suit different situations. and i think the hulkbuster is a good idea. they can work it into a plot that tony took the remains of the iron monger ( it is stark industries property ) and modded that into the hulk buster

[louiebling$]

I for one want to see the Hulkbuster Armor...I mean its one of his most famous armors and one of my favorite.

[Immortalfire]

As long as he doesn't don the squinty-eyed, cricket-looking Ultimate armor, I'm good.

[louiebling$]

Amen to that!I hate the Ultimate Armor!

[camp Blood]

yeah i didn't like UIM he had to much grey and the blue lights were to much as well. and if they did have a bad guy suit i would wanna see crimson dynamo. but i think titanium man since the figure came out and he was in the video game

[bluehulk]

These are some different armors that I found, Tony actually has a room full of different armors that we won't see. http://www.the-trukstop.com/articles/2008/images/ironman/silvercenturion

[camp Blood]

since where gonna see hulk in THE AVENGERS before HULK2 i have a good feeling hes gonna be the antagnoist and tony will have to build the HULKBUSTER armor. maybe halfway through they will get hulk under control and turn to the real badguy, at least thats what i hope happens

[SuperKoala]

will we be seeing any new armors in the sequal?

[Ironfan72]

I would imagine War Machine for sure, as for any new versions of the Iron Man armor, maybe a newer version of the mk 3, I doubt they will delve to deep into environment specific armors ie: Hydro-Armor, Stealth Armor or Inferno Armor.

[SuperKoala]

I see

[kedrell]

I would imagine War Machine for sure, as for any new versions of the Iron Man armor, maybe a newer version of the mk 3, I doubt they will delve to deep into environment specific armors ie: Hydro-Armor, Stealth Armor or Inferno Armor.

In other words, the Mark IV. I don't know if they'd need to go all out with the space armor but I'd like some action to occur in space. I know Fav said on the special features for IM1 that they originally were going to have the Iron Man & Iron Monger aerial chase end in space. But it just didn't work out. Still, that tells you something of where Fav's mind is at.

[SuperKoala]

I feel very comfortable with fav as the director

[TheVelvetOnion]

Like Batman every movie has a new suit... so Should Iron Man's armour be updated for the next one? I mean they pretty much got the look correct where would you go next? Or would this lead to the many different types? Hulk-Buster? War-Machine?

[BobJM]

The Mark III should definitely be the main suit of the sequel, but maybe give it some updates like a stealth feature or maybe even have Stark utilize the Silver Centurion armor for the final fight or something of that nature:

Stealth:

[Threshold]

I'd be willing to bet that there are some small modifications done to the suit. But it was practically perfect in the first film, so don't fix what ain't broken.

[DXD]

so don't fix what ain't broken.

I understand what you mean. But...when we're talking Marvel...and Iron Man, well, let's just say you can never have enough.

[OsGom]

I would love to see the Stealth Armor! Always a great design.

Of course War Machine is just a given.

[Duskbyday]

I'm preety sure Hulkbuster armour will appear in the Avengers movie.

War Machine. Obviously:whatever:

Anti-Blizzard Armour if he fights in the cold?

[DXD]

I'm sure there has to be some form of Space Armour included for when it would be needed throughout either IM2 or The Avengers.

[smrid]

new suits would be cool and all, but more so obvious. I would like to see more capabilities of what his new suits can do now. Also, Id like to totally see Stark's iron man suit room or whatever its called. Instead of just seeing the mark IV that he would probably be wearing most of the time, we would be getting view of a bunch of the other suits. It would be pretty impressive to see if production can make that room with varied suits.

[Immortalfire]

Merging, and a new thread is born.

[TheVileOne]

My favorite design has always been the Sean Chen/Heroes Return armor.

He's now wearing that armor again in Invincible Iron Man.

[camp Blood]

like i said earlier i wanna see a stealth armor that has a real f-22 raptor/ninja feel to it. all black with blue/silver trim

[kedrell]

We've already seen my favorite design, but a Silver Centurion variation would be cool to see as well.

[Immortalfire]

I'm for anything but the squinty-eyed Ultimate Marvel armor. It makes Iron Man look like a dang cricket.

[camp Blood]

well we can all agree here that the ultimate ironman armor was poorly executed. also i hope that IM2 takes place a few years (5 or 6) after the first and it doesn't take place right after

[TheVileOne]

Yeah, I think there's little chance of it being 5-6 years later.

[Immortalfire]

Yeah, I think there's little chance of it being 5-6 years later.

I'm betting it'll be set not too terribly long after the first, considering how it ended.

[Leto]

A cameo by the ultimate armor could be fun. Just the original, nothing fancy or more than that.

[marcvader]

I wouldn't mind seeing all these armor designs in one form or another in a special workshop or storage space. As far as actual use I wouldn't mind the stealth suit being used on a mission or something like that, maybe in the opening segment of the movie. I still want him to use the mark 3 primarily with added features though and of course War Machine.

[TheVileOne]

I think it would be funny if had a room full of armors, and the Ultimate armor was in there with Stark saying, "What was I thinking?"

[marcvader]

Lol

[camp Blood]

yeah followed by the words "i must have been high...." but come on there has to have been worse armors

[Saint]

well we can all agree here that the ultimate ironman armor was poorly executed.
Uh, no. The Ultimate Armour was and is fantastic. It's not classic Iron Man, but, of course, that's the point. It's the ultimate universe; it's mandate is to be different.

As for the armour in this film? Of course it will be updated. That's just part of Iron Man. You want to see him build new and better armour. I'm already on record as saying I want to see elements of Extremis in the film.

[storyteller]

I want to see a suit that Downey can wear and actually do some stuff in. Cgi iron man was great but this aint the hulk we are talking about.

[camp Blood]

like i said i hope that we see him retro fitting the iron monger armor into the hulk-buster armor

[Wesley Dodds]

Red and gold Iron Monger armour'd be great..

[Kal-El 8]

I think the Mark III suit is going to remain the same as the first film with a few new slight modifications . It's obvious Stark is going to upgrade his tech , Just like Wayne did in "The Dark Knight" . But I don't see a new armor suit yet for Mark III unless Iron Man get's severely damaged in battle during the coruse of the film where he has no choice but to create Mark IV armor .

I would like to see if they decide too have War Machine in movie 2, that his armor be completely different to Iron Man's Mark III armor and more in line with The Classic appearance from the comics .

[camp Blood]

Hope W.M. looks like this. i think who ever (phil saunders) did this used the movie armor as a base. only thing i would change is armoring the arc reactor

http://s5.tinypic.com/9pqqa1.jpg

[Immortalfire]

That looks awesome :eek: :up:

[Shivsguy616]

I've seen opinions strewn throughout this forum, so here's an official place to post what suits you'd like to see. Post pics and give examples of what you want them to do. I'll start with some concepts that I think are great:

http://backseatcuddler.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/philsaundersironman.jpg


http://backseatcuddler.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/warmachine1.jpg


And another War Machine I like:
http://screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/war-machine-iron-man.jpg

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ The 3rd and fourth concept really are perfect looks for War Machine, IMO.

[Gamma Goliath]

take the repulsor blasters on the second warmachine and add it to the first, then it would be perfect imo.

[maniactic]

I actually like Concept 6 as War Machine by itself. Doesn't look too far fetch, and it'd be funny to see War Machine to do some "Power Rangers" switch weapon Magic. Haha!

[kedrell]

I like the last one the best.

[D-Man22]

^Me too. The other War Machine suit looks like he's fat. :funny:

[Chris B]

I also like the second War Machine design. If I recall, Adi Granov designed it. Which makes me think that is pretty much what WM will look like, with just a few tweaks.

[mjbull23]

Really like that Stealth suit alot. Would not mind seeing that in the next movie at all.

[Spider-Vader]

I think Hulkbuster will be referenced & that we'll see it in Avengers.

[MaxG]

I like the Concept 6 War Machine myself.

[Immortalfire]

Merging...

[camp Blood]

that stealth suit is exactly what i asked for a while ago. i said i was trying to come up with a stealth armor that looked like the movie armor fused with a F-22 raptor

[Spider-ManHero12]

Not sure if this actually is directly related, but what type of things would you guys like to see aded to Iron Man's suit? Personally, I'd love to see shields that seal the opening on the mouths and eyes on the mask shut so that Iron Man can breathe under water.

[dark_b]

i dont know exactly how this works. but please no specific suits for winter villains,watter battle,flying to mars,.....
you know what i mean.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ It's actually not a different suit. It's a feature that was in the suit in the comics. Iron fought the Sub-Mariner in issue #120 of Invincible Iron Man, and since he was under water, he had these small sockes that blocked water from getting in his eyes.

[Shivsguy616]

Merging...

Thanks. Sorry I missed it.

[Shivsguy616]

I would imagine that his suit is already sealed off. I mean, he tried to break the record for fixed wing flight, so he would need breathing aparatus. Notice that his suit froze, but his eyes didnt etc. So i think that it is already sealed.

[PumpkinBombxXx]

I would love to see some Extremis **** in there were he is connected to the armor but i hope they save that for the third one after almost dieing at the hands of the mandarin tony knows he needs to be one with the suit. This also makes him one of the most powerfull characters in the Marvel U. I know alot of people are resistent to this but its part of his Evolution as a hero

[Figs]

I wouldn't mind that at all. If fans are going to complain about that it would be funny since I never heard much complaining about the first film taking out the folding factor of his armor from the comics. How it can fold to fit into his briefcase.

That makes me think of one problem though for future films. What if he's hundreds or thousands of miles away from his home, which has the machine that helps him put on and take off his armor and some serious stuff goes down? I wonder if Favreau has any plans to rectify that.

[AnorexicBatman]

That's what the extremist can be used for...
Hell in World War Hulk ... HE CAN CONTROL IT WITH HIS MIND!

Imagine Stark/RDJ going, "There's no place like home... There is no place like home..."
Somewhere in Malibu, the armor comes to life ....

[TheVileOne]

Favreau has commented on Extremis at Con 2007:

Q: Does the Extremis [from Warren Ellis' IRON MAN run] come in at all in the IRON MAN movie?

A: Favreau said that in the movie they will start with the Mach I suit and move on from that. They aren't going to move toward armor that can telekinetically respond to Tony Stark or organically appear from out of his bone marrow. They want to present an armored suit that is plausible and realistic in the movie.

[kedrell]

Yeah, I agree with Favs here. Leave something like Extremis for another director with a new interpretation down the line.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I would imagine that his suit is already sealed off. I mean, he tried to break the record for fixed wing flight, so he would need breathing aparatus. Notice that his suit froze, but his eyes didnt etc. So i think that it is already sealed. Oh yeah, that's right! Forgot about that for a moment.

[TheVileOne]

In the Busiek/Perez Avengers comics, Tony said his eye holes had lenses that would automatically slide over and seal up his face plate if he hit water. So it kind of kept with the illusion that his eye holes weren't sealed when he was on dry land. But take that for what you will.

In the movie, they've clearly gone with a fully functional and closed off helmet.

And that is the best idea, IMO. We know now that the rigors of supersonic flight(or really anything going over 100MPH) would require that. That wasn't so obvious way back in the day on a kids comic book.

i just hope crimson dynamo doesn't look stupid

[makovargas]

I'm hoping its the armor ,Probaly not though it'll probaly be a promo of all the characters (sans armour) :(

[makovargas]

By the way anyone else think that War Machine's Armour will be the military's answer to Ironman??

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'm hoping its the armor ,Probaly not though it'll probaly be a promo of all the characters (sans armour) :( Well, even if it isn't and Iron Man photo, I'll still be happy with what we got. I mean, atleast we are getting something.

[DarkReflections]

oh man, i cant wait to see it. :yay:

[camp Blood]

thats it mako you gave me an idea for an army style war machine all olive drab and s**t

[sdc10]

Personally i hope we dont get the Batman syndrome where he ends up with a different suit in every film, however i do understand upgrading his armor is an important part to the character so i would essentially like to see the same armor just it being more capable of doing stuff if that makes sense :P

[storyteller]

But similar to the batman suit. Its better for filming to upgrade the suit. Certainly Cloony's suit was easier to move around in then Keatons costume. Also Ironman really is known for his multiple suits. I think he should get a new suit every movie.

[AnorexicBatman]

Fravreau says, the new suit will be lighter to allow for more movement....
sounds familiar...

Tony: I need to be faster ... more flexible...

Jarvis: You want to be able to turn your head...
Tony: Sure would make backing out of the driveway easier

Jarvis: ... Kevlar bi-weave techno babble... now there is a trade off... separation of the plates make you vulnerable to knives and gunfire...

[Doctor Jones]

^ No.

The new pic is pretty cool, shows the Hall of Armor: http://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-04-30-first-look-ironman2_N.htm

[bossman550]

OOOOOOOOO SHHHHIIIIZZZZEEEEELLL.
i think war machine is in IM2. Yesterday May 1 Jon Favreau posted on his twitter "Two suits on sit today" what do you think????
sound like war machine 2 me.

[protocida]

Could be Crimson Dynamo.

[storyteller]

Why would tony need to turn his head when the hud gives him that information?

[kedrell]

Why would tony need to turn his head when the hud gives him that information?

Probably because it's a natural human response to want to be able to turn your head. Also, there's the comfort factor. The suit's not supposed to be uncomfortable.

[Aesop Rocks]

Granted Stark is always updating his armor and suits, do you think we are going to be seeing a new suit each movie?

[Superhero 101]

maybe for like a final showdown

[Aesop Rocks]

I don't understand what you mean. I think in each movie Iron Man is in he'll have a new suit.

[RockMaverick]

Hopefully Tony's main suit, The Mark III, stays the same appearance wise through the course of the films. I think the mainstream public has come to identify the character with that color scheme and suit. I think if the suit gains new abilities that's perfectly fine, but don't change the main suit that much. If he needs to use other suits, i.e. The Hulkbuster Armor to track down the Hulk, that's fine too for special occasions.

[JerseyJoker]

I dont think that Stark needs to be using like 5 suits a film. But it would be cool to see him WORK on different suits or have different ones displayed.

Maybe he has to go out and do a certain mission and then A.I. Jarvis is like "Mabe the STealth suit Sir or the blah blah suit" and gives us a visual of the suit. That would be enough for me.

It should really stick to be the Mark III red/gold suit throughout each film, just minor changes on it here and there.

[kedrell]

I'd like to see the Silver Centurion armor.

[The IronMan]

I like the look of the armor as is the only thing I'd like to see changed is the suit becoming more powwerful and more durable

[Spider-ManHero12]

Well, it has some new changes to it in this film, if that's what you're asking.

[tryp09]

IMO Iron-man's best trait was his ability to adapt to all situations, whether on the battle-field or in the lab after a close battle. New suits is the way to go! All the time! Just look at how many times the suit has changed through the years... 200? 300? Extremis suit is my favorite. Looks so sleek, like alien-tech almost.

[RockMaverick]

Well the Mark III suit from the movie is stylized after the extremis armor. Anyone have a clue as to what some of the new features might be?

[kedrell]

^This is just a guess, but from the Hall of Armors pic we've got it looks like Stark might be further stream-lining the Mark III so that the Mark IV is quite sleek.

[Wesley Dodds]

Absolutely. Why wouldnt they, when there's all that sweet sweet action figure money to be made from it?
I'm guessing the armour'll get to about the halfway point, then it'll be destroyed.

[RockMaverick]

I'm sure they'll make plenty of money from the action figures for Whiplash, both prototype and Crimson Dynamo suit inspired. Also will see a War Machine one too and possibly a Black Widow one so really no need to change much of the Iron Man suit for action figure purposes.

[Chris B]

I think the overall look will remain the same, with just a few small modifications.

[tryp09]

A stealth suit would be just unreal with the CGI technology available today.

[Immortalfire]

Merging with the Official Armor thread

[hippie_hunter]

I want the MkIII to get destroyed and want Tony to wear Extermis Armor

The movie armor and Extremis Armor are almost the same. I'd rather see some other stuff like the Ultimate Iron Man armor (which I think should have been the Mk. II), the Silver Centurion, Heroes Return, etc. in Iron Man 2 than the Extremis Armor.

[camp Blood]

i think favreau said he wont do extermis

[Immortalfire]

I vote NO to the Ultimate Marvel armor...he looks like a squinty eyed cricket.

[kedrell]

i think favreau said he wont do extermis

That's smart. Leave Extremis for another director down the road.

[camp Blood]

not just that, its a little far fetched

[kedrell]

^For his particular vision of Iron Man, yeah maybe. Don't bet against it being used some time in the future by another director who has a different vision, though.

[tryp09]

Dude, Extremis is badass, far-fetched or not. That whole story-line could be made into a movie. THe villain was just siiickkk. I don't think it should come right after the 2nd movie, but possibly in the 4th or 5th. I mean... once he gets really established, seeing him risk everything with the extremis procedure would be gut wrenching.

[kedrell]

^I agree. Mallen has been one of the more psychologically/emotionally plausable villains in recent years. But by the time we get to IM4 and beyond we'll likely have a whole new cast & crew doing the films.

[Mr. Earle]

I think that the extremis suit isnt so far fetched. The way he suits up can be explained with a magnetic field. They can leave the memory cloth type metal parts and the undersheath that is stored into his bones out though. They can also leave the healing factor out, but on the other hand i can see the techno controling powers easily. Tony installs a chip in his brain. Easy as pie.

Out of all this i would definitely leave the healing factor and bones thing out. The former is just so not Ironman and the latter is just disgusting.

As for the villain, well how long are they gonna rely on armoured villains that steal Tony's tech? Its the second movie that follows this motif, so i say **** it and bring us the Mandarin or the Hulk or something. That wacko from Extremis was just a punk with superpowers. Forgetable and lame.

[Mr. Earle]

I've seen opinions strewn throughout this forum, so here's an official place to post what suits you'd like to see. Post pics and give examples of what you want them to do. I'll start with some concepts that I think are great:

http://backseatcuddler.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/philsaundersironman.jpg





And another War Machine I like:
I was just about to post that my aesthetics have been influenced a lot by the Bayformers lately and that i would like to see an Ironman suit like that. This stealth suit looks messy and angular like the Bayformers and its generally badass.
Also, lol at the helmet of the diving suit. Its like a fat guy's neck.

[Shadow-Guardian]

I never really read the Iron Man comic books, so can someone explain the Extremis suit to me please?

[kedrell]

I want Favs to stay the hell away from anything Michael Bay/Transformers-like. This is supposed to be an awesome film, not a retard-a-thon.

[Aesop Rocks]

Favs is better than that. :hehe:

I bet, if in some weird/good twist of fate Favs took over Transformers, I wonder how good it would have been. Oh well.

[kedrell]

^It's got to be a good premise in the first place. TF never really was.

[Aesop Rocks]

Someone in bad mood?

[kedrell]

Yeah, ever since I saw TF2. Just waiting for Public Enemies now to sorta do the cinematic version of gargling so I can get that bad taste out of my mouth.

[Aesop Rocks]

Mouth wash!

[camp Blood]

i only say the extremeis suit is far fetched because of the bone marrow thing.

here you go shadow.


http://www.advancediron.org/images/stories/armory/extremis-armor.jpg



Designer: Tony Stark
Worn by: Tony Stark
Appreared: Iron Man vol. 4 #5
Design Notes :
Extremis Techno-Organic Virus: After being critically injured during a battle with the Extremis-enhanced Mallen, Stark injected his nervous system with a modified version of the techno-organic virus to save his own life. This fused Stark's armor to his body, allowing him to store the inner layers of the Iron Man armor in the hollows of his bones as well as control it through direct brain impulses. He is also able to remotely connect to external communications systems such as satellites, cellular phones, and computers throughout the world. Because the armor's operating system is now directly connected to Stark's nervous system, its response time has been significantly improved. The Extremis armor grants him superhuman speed reactions and a healing factor able to regenerate entire organs.

Shell Composition: Collapsible; vectored repulsor fields cause the memory metal design to tessellate. Stark's body produces an undersheath that is contained in his bone marrow.

Power Source and Energy Information: Beta Particle Generator and Solar power converters, Thermocouple.

Control Systems Interface: Extremis enhanced cybernetic Interface and Battle Computer.
Weaponry:

*Repulsors: Laser-guided particle beam emission units mounted in the palm of each hand. Can also generate a 360-degree “Full Form” blast. *Unibeam: Multi-band light and force beam emitter. Can be adjusted for a variety of effects such as search light, heat beams, tractor beam, and lasers.
*Pulse Bolts.
*Mini-Explosives: Small, but powerful explosive rounds fired from the gauntlets.
Equipment:

*Deflectors: By expanding the field that keeps the armor rigid, the armor can encase itself in a protective force field that is effective against most forms of attack. He can also use this field to polarize the armor to either attract or repulse other items of magnetic polarity. The armor can temporarily surround itself with a force field that greatly increases its protection from attacks. While the force field is engaged, the armor is unable to use any other systems. *Sonic Array: Temporarily knocks out anyone with in range.
*Boot Jets (Mark 5) / Repulsor Flight System: High-speed triple source gyro-stabilized turbines. Combined propulsion system is capable of speeds approaching mach 9.
*Holographic Projector:
*Regenerative Systems: Repair damage to armor and wearer.
*Phera-Sense: Neural net replicates Spider-Man’s spider sense and provides an early warning detection system.
*Cloaking or Chameleon Effect (disabled when Iron Man fires): Gives the armor the illusion of invisibility. Cloaking utilizes a great deal of energy and can only be utilized when the armor is not in combat or is not performing other strenuous activities.
*Energy Absorber: External converter that transforms a variety of energy forms into usable power for the armor. The absorber allows Iron Man to focus energy blasts through Iron Man's unibeam.

[Aesop Rocks]

No. I NEVER want to see that suit.

[kedrell]

Mouth wash!

Exactly. I need a good movie so bad right now. I have Bay poisoning.

[Mr. Earle]

I want Favs to stay the hell away from anything Michael Bay/Transformers-like. This is supposed to be an awesome film, not a retard-a-thon.
I meant that i wouldnt mind seeing a suit inspired from the bayformers. My aesthetics are really influenced by them right now. But i love the mark III anyway. I never really read the Iron Man comic books, so can someone explain the Extremis suit to me please?Here:
This is Tony suiting up. The golden under-sheath is stored in his ****ing bones! Damn straight! Take that Flash! It somehow retracts through those pores and is stored in the hollow (where does he put his marrow?) interior of his bones. The suit as i mentioned above can turn soft when he is not using it, and so its easy to fold into a briefcase!
After the Extremis arc Stark was also able to telepathetically operate everything that carried a microchip. Basically, the inner parts of the suit -the undersheath- are fused to his nervous system so that is why he is able to do this. That basically means that the suit responds faster to his commands and through it, Tony can access anything with wires. He can even multitask and fly his spare suits along with him as reinforcements. And since its Stark we are talking about, he once even accessed and reprogrammed all the software of a satellite with his mind! He also got a healing factor second only to Wolverine's.

During the "Civil War", he studies Spiderman and he somehow gives his suit a precognitive sense like his. After all this hax, the writers decided that IM had become too hax and they took away his healing factor and the techno-telepathy of his during the "Secret Invasion" (though i am not so sure about this last bit cause Secret Invasion was too crap for me to bother with). Anyway, here its Tony suiting up in the Extremis suit. Its ****ing cool if you ask me.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v286/Hobo_bob/Extremis.jpg

I would love to see the Extremis suit and way of suiting up. Although its totally implausible, its just too cool to care for physics, and besides it could be explained with a magnetic field or something. Imagine a big magnetic field with holograms and stuff that calculates the position of Stark's body and attaches the pieces. Maybe the holograms could be like DaVinci's man in the circle (Stark is the DaVinci of our time...). But i would leave the
1) bone marrow thing
2) "memory cloth" metal
3) regenerative factor
out of the movie. Besides, tony can increase the suit's response times by installing a chip in his brain, or by fitting the suit with a device that reads his brain neuron impulses. The latter actually exists.

[Mr. Earle]

camp blood you got me! Heh, i had posted this in the "suiting up" thread so i did some copypasta. Dude, nice encyclopedia, but what the hell is this:
*Repulsors: Laser-guided particle beam emission units mounted in the palm of each hand. Can also generate a 360-degree “Full Form” blast.How does he do this?

*Regenerative Systems: Repair damage to armor and wearer.
Oh yeah, and i forgot about this part of the hax. The suit can repair itself! Dayum!

All in all, the extremis suit has more powers than superman! Too damn hax.

[camp Blood]

i got that info from a website. the only real thing i knew about extremeis was the bone marrow and healing factor

[Mr. Earle]

i got that info from a website. the only real thing i knew about extremeis was the bone marrow and healing factorYou guys should read the story. Its a good read and if i remember correctly, Granov did the art. Granov is a god when it comes to armours!!!

[Shadow-Guardian]

Wow. And here I thought it was just a different type of armor. Thanks for the info.

[camp Blood]

if they ever do an army extremeis. then i would want it to be placed in the near future, lets say 2025. and just have the extremeis virus de-age tony into 2009 version since he has the new healing factor

[AnorexicBatman]

To be fair... he does seem to be wearing a similar blue sheath when he suits up for his first mission in the movie. That's as close to Extremis we will ever get and thank god for that!

[camp Blood]

yeah but i think some people want the armor flying around telepathically. i dont want that but i do want armor assembly to be more streamlined . and i would like to see the armor to be easier to get out of


PS is phils deep diving suit supposed to have 3 repulsors on each arm

[Mr. Earle]

How do you know? (part in bold)

Favreau said it himself that he wants to keep things in the realm of plausibility.
The bone marrow thing rubbed him in the wrong way. He didn't like it.

[kedrell]

That's why I said Extremis is for another director with another vision in films down the road.

[camp Blood]

and i like i said earlier i could see that if the movie was placed in the near future somewhere around 2025 or whenever MGS4 takes place.

extremeis is not entirely implausible in this day and age but maybe in the near future

[Mr. Earle]

That's why I said Extremis is for another director with another vision in films down the road.and i like i said earlier i could see that if the movie was placed in the near future somewhere around 2025 or whenever MGS4 takes place.
extremis is not entirely implausible in this day and age but maybe in the near futureRemember that they are now introducing Captain America and Thor. Hulk is already up there and sooner or later they will all come together in an Avengers film. You will see Downey next to a Scandinavian god (Hope he doesnt get too old by then to play the character). So where do we draw the line with the realism thing? For example, Tony survived that crash with the Mark I. The suit was blown to pieces and he was left burried in the sand. Pretty unrealistic.

So i think that the ironman movie is a bit realistic but not so much. I wouldn't expect the more wild parts of the mythos to appear in the movie, but you cant cut everything out because it wont work.

And i said in my earlier posts, i thought that storing the undersheath in Tony's bone marrow is disgusting and far fetched. And the healing factor is just not what Ironman is about. They made it too hax and far fetched. But what they could incorporate from Extremis, are the design of the suit, and the way he puts it on. Dont tell me that a big magnetic field that makes the pieces float would be such a stretch. It would be freaking cool!

As long as they dont dilute the character with stupid X-men powers and they dont take things way too far, i am all for it!

[camp Blood]

well i am not talking now i am talk after Jon Favreau

[DCnightwing23]

I think the suits a little more bulky then the first, there are some changes to the suit from pics ive seen. Not that massive of changes. Still an amazing suit

[camp Blood]

yeah it looked like he added some extra armor to the chest plate

[Saint]

Yeah, there have been some tweaks to the arms and chest.

[camp Blood]

i wonder if its the MK-4 suit maybe well see some tasty new gizmos. and i dont know about you guys but i want to see some more in flight battles

[Mr. Earle]

I havent seen any pics of the new suit besides those pics of Downey eating on that huge doughnut in LA, so i suppose thats your reference. The suit looked very odd in those pics. The chest especially was ghastly!

[camp Blood]

those are the pics i'm talk'n about earle

[Mr. Earle]

It looked meh in those pics. The original mark 3 looked sleaker. Anyway, i am starving for more pics. Just one pic would be enough for me to pass the summer and autumn.
So i was thinking of the Extremis suiting up way. Its the coolest thing ever! They could show us a cool suit up where Tony is just standing and pieces stick on him and make the suit, and later in the film, he could do it while walking. Imagine him walking as if nothing happens and the suit pieces flying on him. Of course when they stick on, there should be a lock mechanism, that each piece moves and locks in place. So i suppose a small "transformation" would be in order. Something like the panel test he did on the Mark 2 if you remember.

[PumpkinBombxXx]

Extremis is totaly plausible in the universe they are creating. will we see it happen. No, but it makes as much since as Bruce banner turning into the Hulk or an imortal crossing a giant rainbow to get to earth. If you check out the interviews with warren ellis you would realise that its not as far fetched as it may seem.I however would like to see Tony hook up to his suit like in the Ultimate U. Sockets directly in his skin

[kedrell]

If they were gonna do that(and I am not completely opposed to it) then I'd imagine Tony first trying that out on a life-like dummy or cadaver(I know, kinda gross) of some sort. The first test seems to be a success, but when he removes the armor the life-like dummy or cadaver(eww, again) is really messed up due to the armor assembling on it with too much force. The Tony could say something like "Glad I decided not to play test dummy this time". Then he tweaks it some more to get to the point where the armor can assemble remotely on the wearer w/o killing the wearer in the process.

[Mr. Earle]

That would be very funny. Reminds me of his flight tests in IM. The part where he is launched to the wall behind him is hilarious!

As for the transformation, i dunno, i'd really like the pieces to stick on him and then deploy, lock, move, like how the transformers ....well... transform in the movies. Of course not to that extent.

[camp Blood]

he could use one of the ballistic gel dummy's with bones inside like the mythbusters use all the time. and the skull could be all cracked.

and like i said the only thing about extremis that is far fetched is the bone marrow thing

[kedrell]

It's the Mach4.

[topdog1]

That's why I said Extremis is for another director with another vision in films down the road.

They weeded out Extremis in the books and I don't think it's coming back. Why would they add it to a movie later? Extremis had its brief run, now it's back to the basics for good.

[Mr. Earle]

I think he still suits up like that, despite losing the extremis superpowers. BTW, did the design of the suit change now that extremis is over? I dont think so, but realistically it should because it was so sleak and thin because half the systems were incorporated in the undersheath and tony's techno brain.
In any case its a cool desing. So what does what everyone think of the Mark 3.5?. I liked the original chest plate. This one looks plastic and fake*shock!*
Yes, the chest plate does look plastic. I ve stated it in other threads, so one more time in thisl: I dont like this new suit. Cheesy as hell.

[Aluchak]

Well you got to admit that the original looked plastic too, probably because it IS. In action it will look better.

[Mr.LethalWeapon]

Well you got to admit that the original looked plastic too, probably because it IS. In action it will look better.
Agreed. They went back and CGI'd the heck out of the armor in post production to make it look more metallic.

[Mr. Earle]

I never understood the logic or aesthetics of the granov gloves. He draws that huge "lump" at the upper part of the hand, then a big prosthetic over his wrist and that leaves the scrawny part in the middle. Doesnt make sense to me. Especially when he draws a light on the upper "lump" in the comics.
The MK3 gloves were perfect. Especially since there was a yellow part in the forearm to actually make it look like a glove.

[protocida]

I hope Mark IV has stealth mode! :woot:

[Compi716]

What I don't get is the color change of the center power circle heart thing. Where's the awesome blue of Iron Man 1?

Perhaps it's just a dull yellow for the promo shot...I hope so.

Comic-Con.

[NoirMan82]

I like the Mark IV design a littile better. It looks like a natural step from the Mark III and it looks a bit more sleek. I'm just not sure about the gold trim on the ab section. It's destracting and unecessary.

[Mr. Earle]

Its definitely slimmer than the Mk3 so it looks more advanced, but i cant say that its pretty. And what i find distracting are those gold pieces on his shoulders. They look like he is wearing a t-shirt under his sweater.

Only in action figure form really. Right now that's probably the best you're gonna get.

[dusk20]

What's the difference between Mark 3 and 4 armor?

[WindsofHorus]

What's the difference between Mark 3 and 4 armor?

From the looks of it, not to much. The Mark IV more streamlined tho. He also could have upgraded the boot jets and repulsors.

[kedrell]

Probably also will have more technical changes which we can't ascertain visually. Like greater energy efficiency allowing for faster & longer flight, greater strength amplification, greater durability, etc.

[RealIrOnMaN]

Don't think, that we'll see the Stealth Armor Mode, 'cause it would've been just TOO much for one movie.

We allready have: Mark IV, Mark V and some other Mark (that Redd can't tell us 'bout, but I don't blame her. Let the girl tell the info, WHEN THE TIME comes!) + War Machine Armor.

Don't even want to think 'bout the villain stuff. Maybe, Whiplash will get the suit, mb don't... who actually knows? But, if Justin Hammer will put on the Firepower suit, it will be really TOO much. So, I hope, that 4 IM suits + 2 villain armors is enough for one movie. That's why, there is no place for the Stealth mode or armor.

[protocida]

The suit Redd can't tell us about is Mark V. She can't acknowledge it's existence nor share details about it's Design and background. I have not seen any indication of Mark VI whatsoever.

And Mark IV or Mark V could easily convert into Stealth mode, like the Videogame.

[dusk20]

I'd really like to see in later movies the deep sea water suit. I just remember seeing a cartoon once where Iron man was searching deep sea and had an emergency and shot out of the water after it. And when he got clear of the water, the deep sea suit broke away from his normal armor. I can't even remember if I actually saw it, but I remember something like that.

[RealIrOnMaN]

protocida
Maybe it's still Mark V or Mark VI. None of us can be so sure 'bout Tony's sequel armors. The only armor, that everyone can be sure 'bout is Mark IV and War Machine.

I'm not really think 'bout the possibility of the converting thing. + LIKE in the video game. Of course it's easy to do so in the game, but not in the movie. + why do IM needs the stealth mode, if it's:
a) drains too much energy of the armor.
b) turns the weapons system off.
c) Special effects are too expensive + too much CGI.

But again, maybe you're right. I don't know. One thing is comics, and the other one is Marvel Movieverse, where everything is possible))

[kedrell]

I'd love to see him take his armor all the way into space(they were thinking of doing that with the end fight in the first movie, but it just didn't work out). I'd love to see his space armor or see him working on a satellite or something like that. I don't think we're ready for his regular armor to get him all the way to the moon and back like it currently is in the comics, but seeing him in space would be cool.

[StanLee Wannabe]

Obviously we'll get a Mark IV with some continuity AND a few changes. I'd love to see the Hulkbuster, Stealth and Silver Centurion somewhere in the mid-to-near future. I'd also love to see Tony get the Extremis upgrade too. That's the armor I love the most.

[protocida]

The Extremis armor is cool, but I don't think Tony should use the Extremis in the movieverse. It overpowers him.

The Silver Centurion actually appeared in Iron Man. Before Jarvis made the Mark III model, he showed a Silver Centurion model.

I'd love to see the Hulkbuster (In The Avengers, maybe?), the Stealth, the Underwater and the Spacial one too. :woot:

[WindsofHorus]

The Extremis armor is cool, but I don't think Tony should use the Extremis in the movieverse. It overpowers him.

The Silver Centurion actually appeared in Iron Man. Before Jarvis made the Mark III model, he showed a Silver Centurion model.


I think if they used the Extremis armor in the Third movie (after the Avengers movie, and after an Avengers movies in continuity) Then it could be good. They can have the Mandarin's 10 rings be too much, and Tony needs something to opporate the suit more efficiecntly.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that about the Silver Centurion tho!

[protocida]

It could be good, but I'm still against it. To Each with it's own.

[LightningFlash]

The stealth armor is War Machine, isn't it?

Stan Lee, as Larry King, supposedly asks Tony about the black stealth armor. I could be wrong, but that's what I heard.

But, speaking of Mark IV and V...could IV be the streamlined version and V is the version of that teaser poster, with the triangle chest unibeam?

And I can't see the Extremis armor, and only because, I think that concept is stupid, and also, the Mark III design was basically a copy of the Extremis suit.

[protocida]

No. The Stealth Suit it's a stealth suit. And I doubt Lee will be Larry King. I don't trust NukedTheFridge.com.

[Aesop Rocks]

Stan Lee will be Stan Lee in a Marvel Movie.

...

Meaning. He'll just be there for a few split seconds, no matter what he does.

[protocida]

Not a Lee fan, I presume?

[NoirMan82]

Has anyone noticed that the armor on the cover of EW is different (slightly) than the armor shown at comic-con? That, plus the possibility of a triangle chest model and the confirmation of war-machine brings a total of 4 possible armors that this movie may feature.

[Aesop Rocks]

Not a Lee fan, I presume?

I'm a fan.

[protocida]

Cool.

[topdog1]

From the looks of it, not to much. The Mark IV more streamlined tho. He also could have upgraded the boot jets and repulsors.

I don't mean to be a whiner but I like the Mark III a lot better judging from the Comic Con display. I'm sure I'll love the film but bulkier looks better to me. Bigger shoulder pads work and look less like plastic. Maybe it's just me.

[RealIrOnMaN]

NoirMan82
Agree! The armor on the EW cover looked slightly different from the MK IV Armor. The armor resembled the Pre-Extremis Armor (with the different chestplate). Here it is! Take a look:

I really liked one or two concepts from the first film for the armor, Theres one in particular that i would love to see as the mark 5 or a future suit. It resembles the new new a little, with the slimness, i really like it.


This one below is really badass in my opinion, i wouldve loved to see it as a mark 4 or 3. But maybe theyve used this concept for the Mark 5, only a triangle chest piece of course. But i love how it appears really smooth. Looks really nice

That's not CG, and it's just the fact that it's a real armor on a real model.

[camp Blood]

maybe his right side (our left) is a little closer to the camera.

[not_a_victim]

No, look at the "trap" area between the neck and shoulders.
1. Starting from the right shoulder, and moving towards the neck, there are two red rectangular plates, then a gold plate, then the overlapping red neck plates Much of the gold plate closest to the neck is visible.
2. On the left shoulder, again starting from the shoulder and going to the neck, there are two red rectangular plates, and a gold plate, but the second red plate sits almost directly on top of the gold plate.
Now, I thought that on the left shoulder, the second red plate should be moved towards the shoulder, uncovering the gold plate. If it did, however, it would now cover the first red plate.
There is simply less distance between the left shoulder and the neck than there is between the right shoulder and the neck.
It can't be a trick of perspective, as the parts from the right side clearly have room for three sections: red, red, and gold. The left side however, only has room for two.

Hell, I will make it real simple. I measured the distance from the vertical line that meets the circle on his chest where the two breast plates come together to the outer part of the shoulder.
The left side is 2 3/8" on my screen, the right side is 2 9/16.

The asymmetry is even seen here, and don't give me anything about a practical suit on an actor. This is the display, and the asymmetrical trap area is here, as well.

It's just the right shoulder is drooping a bit, no big deal. Next thing you're going to tell me is that you see Goblin and Venom in IronMan's eye.

Wow. It's not that big of a deal :dry:. It still looks sweet as ****.
