Iron Man 2 Iron Man armor - Official Discussion Thread

[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.

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)

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.

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

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) ..?

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

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?

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.

 

[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)

 

[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]

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!

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.
