Looks pretty cool very much like Adi Granov's version for a recent comic.

Phil Saunders who worked on the concept had some interesting things to say about War Marchine on his official blog plus he's uploaded a higher res version of the one protocida posted.

Oh, the Iron Man stuff keeps coming...

I was planning on holding this stuff back until the "Art of Iron Man" book came out (come on, you want there to be some surprises!) but it looks like thanks to the internet once again the cat's out of the bag. A bunch of stuff got posted to Yahoo Movies, including these three images I did at the very end of production as alternate suit designs that would have been in a "Hall of Armor" coda at the end of the film.

This first one is a concept for War Machine. I spent a lot of time on developing this suit, which was of course cut from the script about half way through pre-production. Originally it was going to be called the MK IV armor and would have been weaponized swap-out parts that would be worn over the original MK III armor. Earlier versions were red and gold, and would have been worn by Tony Stark in the final battle sequence.

And for those of you speculating, sorry folks, as far as I know, if there is a War Machine in IM 2, it's unlikely to be this one. You'll just have to wait and see!

is there any design/drawing expert in the room..? that could tell me how did they paint that one..

 

[arachnid-guy]

It's hard to imagine Don in the suit. Ive always pictured Terrence in my mind. But i know i'll get used to it.

Cheadle's skinnier.. he'd fit better in the suit

“These three images I did at the very end of production as alternate suit designs that would have been in a Hall of Armor coda at the end of the film,” writes Saunders. “I spent a lot of time on developing this [War Machine] suit, which was of course cut from the script about half way through pre-production. Originally it was going to be called the MK IV armor and would have been weaponized swap-out parts that would be worn over the original MK III armor. Earlier versions were red and gold, and would have been worn by Tony Stark in the final battle sequence.”

But before you get too excited, Saunders warns that “if there is a War Machine in [Iron Man 2], it’s unlikely to be this one.”

Oh, this is so sweet. I hope we'll see lots of different Armors in the Sequel. He doesn't even have to use them, just let them be in the background. Stark finished the Mark III suit so quickly, I want to see him toying around with a lot of different ideas.

 

[Hunter Rider]

Those designs are magnificent!

 

[Casius--J]

OOO those are some really cool designs, i'm loving them!!

I like the Deep Diving concept, but not the Stealth one. Seems too bulky.

War Machine, needless to say, is solid.
