Iron Man 2 Iron Man armor - Official Discussion Thread

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

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.

I hope so, because that would be a major disappointment if he got into some Wild, Wild West spider-bot.

Trust us man, it's just a toy from Mega Bloks))

BUT... Mark V - is a real thing, so yeah, that is great)

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.

Alright that's cool. I just wonder why the shape of it matters (but I guess if there is an explanation for why he needs a new piece than it will explain the reasoning for the shape)

Well the fisrt one was made with limited resources and even after he came back to civilization, the next generation of it that he makes STILL has to fit into that circular chest socket he has. But I'm guessing with the triangle one, that's not going to be a necessary consideration any more so he can explore a design that is even more effective than the circular arc reactor.

 

[camp Blood]

Could the triangle just be part of the armor and not the reactor itself?

 

[RealIrOnMaN]

Well, looking at the trailer, concepta and recent arc reactors from Hasbro, I can say, that we will see triangle as a part of the armor's chestpiece, and as Tony's new arc reactor.

 

[camp Blood]

Ok as long as it looks awesome

 

[Hype_BEAST]

I honestly hope there is a good story telling element for having all these armors. Cause it gets to the point with me where it's like ... YEAAAA ok. I mean the Mark IV makes sense cause the Mark III got damaged to hell in the end of the first movie. Visually at first glance, there is little difference between the Mark III and Mark IV. But a Mark V, just to get to a mark VI? Uhhh, ok. I hope they explain the differences between the armors and their purpose, and have some credibility.

Does that video still work? I just see a red X like a broken picture link.

 

[camp Blood]

I think the mark V armor will be an emergecy armor for when a villain gets the jump on him but it won't be as powerful or offer as much protection as the mark iv or vi

 

[storyteller]

If the new trailer is any indication...........its going to one hell of a whipping.

 

[SpideyZERO]

Wow at the Mark V Armor....speechless. It's damn cool!!!

 

[TheVileOne]

Having multiple armors keeps in theme with the comics.

Tony has also gone through MULTIPLE stories where he's switching armor left and right. It's been conveniently toyetic, but in the comics Iron Man has had armor for just about every type of situation.

Mark V is his suitcase armor and I imagine Mark VI is his slightly upgraded third act armor.

 

[SpideyZERO]

I was hoping that Mark IV and VI to have more differences besides the arc reactor. Except that, I don't really see much differences

There isn't much of a difference between the Mark IV and the Mark III, either.

That's why I'm to 3 new armors, for virtually no reason.

There isn't much visual difference to any of them.

Which lends me to the conclusion that they better have ample story telling reasons for the switches.

 

[Judson Caspian]

This is more like a question than criticism; why couldn't the Mark V suit have looked like this, or similar to it:

?

 

[Shadow-Guardian]

Considering the suit folds into a suitcase, I seriously doubt it'll look just like the MK3. It needs to transform, unfold, etc etc. Think about it.

 

[Judson Caspian]

Shouldn't that rule apply to the mask as well then? It looks exactly the same. Why not the armor chest too.

 

[SpideyZERO]

I guess they need to make the armor looks distinct from the other versions. Mark IV and VI already look very familiar. But I think they should at least make the mask looks bit different

 

[Judson Caspian]

No. It should just look like the image above. There's no reason to fix what's not broken.

 

[KenK]

I love that he's got emergency suitcase armor!!!

 

[camp Blood]

i also like how he puts it on weird but i could see it working in real life

 

[Scorpion Soldier]

The mask isn't 1 piece on the Mark V, it has multiple parts that fit together forming the mask.
Picture(right before the mask is done transforming).
