Iron Man 2 Iron Man armor - Official Discussion Thread

Love that he has suitcase armor! That is just basass!!!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

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.

The suitcase armor will never make sense dimensionally; all that would just never fit into a compact briefcase. It just looks cool to some people, but I'm glad they bothered to show it unfolding. Not like the cartoons where it just appeared on his body like magic lol.

I love the suitcase armor. At least what have seen of it.

 

[Mr. Earle]

I was thinking that the Mark V will probably not have flight capabilities. First of all, almost every surface of the Mark 3 served as moving flaps to direct air flow so that IM could navigate during flight. I dont think Mk V would have all that, being portable, and flimsy and all.
Secondly, if i am not mistaken, it has its own power source so maybe it wont be large enough for something as energy consuming as flight.
And finally, i think that if he could fly he would have done so against Whippy. Granted we dont see the whole fight, but if he ever takes off during that fight, it will instantly be over for Vanko.

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).

And when the mask is done transforming, it looks exactly the same, except it's partly silver colored. This, however, is a totally different issue:

See anything particular? I sure do.

 

[SpideyZERO]

I think it will at least have some sort of low flight ability, like temporary hover or something.

I just hope it will get to kick Whiplash's ass or not get too damaged in that battle. I was kinda meh on the Mark V toy but that trailer just won me over!

 

[Mr. Earle]

Well who can blame you? The action figures looked horrible. I think Hot Toys will make a great Mk V.

Maybe manaufacturers of the toy just didn't get to see the final product? That's mostly the case with the earlier products.

It's not just the toys. That's not far from the look Mark V has in the comics since God knows when.

Well we can sort of assume based on other stuff we've seen that Whiplash's attack fails and he gets captured and put in a french jail. It's alll about how it's executed. Whiplash, while outgunned on paper against an Iron Man armor, can easily make up for that by being a more skilled fighter, a more viscious/opponent + the element of suprise.

suite case armor

 

[slothbp]

Do yous guy Iron Man 3 will use the Extremis armor, where Tony can use his army with his mind? I never thought I'd see his suitcase armor. If his suit evolved that much after 6 momths, well, we can only speculate at this point. But, I 'd love to see him invent the Extremis, or something close to it, anyway. What do you think?

 

[Hype_BEAST]

"Mark V" TRANSFORMERS + TONY STARK = Collective fanboy orgasm.

haha

 

[Mr. Earle]

Maybe sometime in the future he will use the Extremis armour but its too early for the time being. Its as awesome a suit up way as it can be and you cannot top it.

Since he cant fit his standard armours (mark IV, VI, etc) in the suitcase, at some point he'll have to figure out some way to take them everywhere with him. Not long ago i proposed that he installs those mechanical arms in the trunk of his car and they would suit him up anywhere. I think we ll see Extremis at some point.

Here's how Tony wears the Extremis armour:

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

?

Because that's nothing more than a repaint of the Mark III 6 inch action figure!

Also I love the armor up sequence there. Is it just me or is it not similar to the 1990's cartoon suitcase armor up sequence? I just wonder if that was intentional on the part of ILM and Favreau.

 

[Judson Caspian]

Too bad you're missing the point.

 

[TheVileOne]

What's the point then? What are you talking about?

 

[camp Blood]

just so you don't have to keep fast-forwarding through the trailer like i keep doing

ps: was he shooting a triangular piece of diamond ( or some other clear glass like material ) with that laser thing maybe testing out a indestructible front piece for his new reactor


of and mr.earle i though of something that lends to your MARK V doesn't fly theory. didn't tony put the gold titanium on to help prevent icing at high altitudes well if the mark v doesn't fly (at least as high as the other armors) then it wont have a need to prevent freezing and thats why its silver and red the the silver centurion armor

 

[Mister J]

Incredibly wicked. I was not expecting them to incorporate the suitcase.

 

[camp Blood]

i know and thats why they have it at the very end of the trailer so you left wanting to see more. i dig how the suit looks like scales

 

[TheVileOne]

C'mon that reminds you of the armor up sequence from the 90's cartoon right guys? Right?!

Why are you guys posting pictures of that action figure? What is the point?

 

[night0205]

Does anyone else have a problem continually watching this clip over and over?

 

[Mister J]

C'mon that reminds you of the armor up sequence from the 90's cartoon right guys? Right?!

Yes.

Although, on the show, I thought it was kinda cheesy,even knowing it had its roots in the books; it fit in with the show. What was in the trailer is just plain goodness. I'm going to stare at that gif for way too long.

 

[TheVileOne]

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.
