IRON MAN 3 : SDCC pics of the new suit. (IROM MAN MARK VIII)

(Photos courtesy of MARVEL.com)

You've probably seen these pics all over the Internet, as someone who delights in all things robotic, I like the subtle changes they made, most noticeable is the change in color scheme, gold dominates the suit now an interesting look that doesn't deviate too far from the traditional look of the suit.

The suite also seems less angular around the chest, abs, legs and gauntlets giving it a more organic look than previous armors depicted in Marvel films.

 I can vaguely make out small separations in the armor akin to the MARK IV ( silver suit case suit from IRON MAN 2 ) along the helmet and chest plate which could indicate another "Transforming" suite like the one we saw at the end of  "The Avengers" 

The pronounced shoulder pads and the colored segments along the arms, abs and back remind me of a "EVA" from Neon Genesis Evengelion it's smoother more uniform look to the arms and legs gives it look less like a segmented suit of armor which I feel is an improvement to the previous design.

The hips and the knees in my opinion look a whole lot better with a more organic symmetrical look. 

Although Faveau isn't directing the Third film, I'm psyched by what I know so far, Ben Kingsley as The Mandarin, The Iron Patriot Armor and RDJ returning as Tony Stark.

I'm There dudes.



NEW TRAILER IRONMAN 2

BANANAS!

I just hope that the studio isn't blowing their load revealing so much of the special effects in the trailer.

Design wise, the portable Iron man armor / suit case looks like a nod to John Romita Jr.

So far, I am pleased with what I've seen.

IRONMAN 2 TRAILER : ARMOR OBSERVATIONS

Any possible spoilers are in white, highlight at your own risk.

I noticed a couple of things while watching the trailer that I thought I might share. First off The Idea of Whiplash as the sole villain in the movie was kind of putting me off, I was hoping for a an appearance of Titanium man or the Crimson Dynamo ( If my website didn't give you a clue I'm a Big metal robot junkie ) or anyone who could give Iron-man and War Machine a run for their money.

We'll color me giddy it looks like Mr. Favreau came through. Check the background in the image below you'll see "Tony" and "James" surrounded by at least Four armored antagonists. ( why would they flip up the visors when they're surrounded? )

Also I'm guesting that the Mark III armor from the first movie gets trashed somewhere through the second film cause that suit that "Tony" rocking is new. ( more on that below )




Just a gratuitous image of the boys handling their business.


Here's a closer look at the new armor, The first thing that strikes me is the triangular uni-beam / Arc reactor on Iron man in keeping with Adi Granov's extremis armor design.

I also like the subtle change on the legs, no more red chaps over gold legs. The new look keeps it closer to the source material.

War Machine looks bad ass!


Now back to our armored nemeses in the trailer, they look like Stark designed suits ( Looks liked black Widow boinks Stark and makes off with the suit plans....or is it Justin Hammer who steels the specs while modifying the Mark II for James Rhodes and then builds himself a little army? we'll have to wait and see.) A lot of speculation is going around online as to who these guys are, and if you read any IRONMAN or AVENGERS during the 80's we might be thinking along the same lines.

I think They're GUARDSMAN.



Here's a clearer look at the toy mock ups for the unnamed Villains.


In the comics, the Guardsman armor in the comics was developed by the US military using stolen Ironman technology to apprehend and then guard incarcerated superhumans.

Stark found out that the the was stolen and defeated then destroyed the whole lot of them during the First armor war ( he also did away with the plans )
That's it on the armors now let's check out some high beams shall we?

Exelsior!

THE OFFICIAL IRONMAN 2 TRAILER GOES LIVE

Here it is, You've probably seen the bootleg trailer from Comic con circulating
around for a while.

Still this one has some new footage:

• Cool scene with Tony Stark dropping in on the Stark Expo.

• And nice little scene with Iron-man and War Machine taking on some armored enemies.

Looks hot! Makes me forget about Scarlett Johansson as the Black Widow.

enjoy...
