Iron Man 2 Iron Man armor - Official Discussion Thread

^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.

 

[Thot]

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?

 

[camp Blood]

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

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.

i see what you mean but really doesn't bother me you probably wont even notice it in the movie. since your staring at a still picture and not moving images you notice a lot more

 

[Spidey-Quad]

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

 

[Jason20]

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.

 

[camp Blood]

or the micro rocket things from the first one the he used to kill the terrorists when they held the family hostage

I googled "IRON MAN 2 MARK V ARMOR" and found a site with stills from the trailer and you see the mark v with the triangle chest beam and he has solid gold legs with no red details but I think the guy said we might see a mark vi armor, I can't remeber why

The theory about the armor's appearence in the movie - http://www.**************.com/fansites/MarvelFreshman/news/?a=14655

cool so where going to see a silver centurion armor

 

[RealIrOnMaN]

^yep)

 

[camp Blood]

That's awesome I am going to have to see a early showing matinee

 

[Kahoot]

Is the War Machine old tech? Why doesn't it have the Triangle chest that Iron Man MkIV has?

 

[camp Blood]

The one with the triangle is mark vi

 

[Kahoot]

Really I could say that was a typo but we're at 6 already? Movie 1 had 3 so movie 2 has another 3 I take it.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Damn. Really wish I hadn't come in here. Oh well. But as long as I've been spoiled, what's that gray suit next to Iron Man in the minimate picture?

 

[camp Blood]

It's one of the Justin hammer drones that ironman and war
machine fight in the trailer

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

And so that giant robot Whiplash is in is his final "armor?"

 

[camp Blood]

i guess it might look cooler in the movie and not as some kids toy

 

[protocida]

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 )

[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,

Spoiler

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.
