Iron Man 2 Iron Man armor - Official Discussion Thread

[Gold Samurai]

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.

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.

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.

but mind reading hurts my head.

Try reading the post instead.

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

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).

Spoiler

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.

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

Given how they based the Mk III on the comics, I wonder if they'll look at the new armor?

 

[darknight7]

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.

TOTALLY AGREED!

Could you imagine they just went this route in the movie? HAHAHA

[mastermindjcg]

Look, it all boils down to one question, does the clip of that emergency suitcase "Mark V"(whatever) armor give you an iron ***** or not? It should, actually.

-so sayeth the mastermind-

 

[DigiCom]

On the other hand, the second season's process wasn't bad

Except for the haircut, of course

 

[Tony Stark]

That is just freaking awesome. I didn't think they'd be able to pull off the suitcase armor, but here they did.

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.

Hey dude, just a heads up. When linking youtube videos you only have to put the code in brackets (not the entire link):

It's really annoying to figure that out. Hope that helps.

Thanks. I'm still learning the vagaries of this board. Hopefully, I'll work it out before I've earned an avatar.

Ya it won't take long. Feel free to ask questions if you have any. The mods on here are all helpful, and most posters are cool. Some posters...uuuuh, not so cool lol, but that's life.

Also, season 2 Iron Mullet, definitely cool with the armor upgrade.

No worries. I've been online a very long time.

Unfortunately, the coolest suit only showed up in the opening credits. But I did like the way he could switch from one to another.

 

[camp Blood]

its reminded me of "the centurions" how his upgrades were stored as energy

 

[DigiCom]

Nah, the Centurions used a teleporter (and had character designs by Jack Kirby, but that's neither here nor there)

 

[camp Blood]

Powerxtreme!

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

 

[DigiCom]

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

 

[camp Blood]

i thought he was testing to see if its laser proof
