Iron Man 2 Iron Man armor - Official Discussion Thread

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...

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

 

[bossman550]

mark 5 seems more jagged

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...

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!
