I voted for Heartbreaker, Igor and XLII, and would have included Iron Patriot too had it been there

 

[Hydeous]

Mark 33 silver centurion. And maybe heartbreaker.

Might get sneaky or nightclub, but I kinda doubt they'll do them.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

Why is XLII called 'prehensile'?

 

[JonWes]

Why is XLII called 'prehensile'?

It's a good question. Tony calls it that, and I don't really know why. Prehensile means "to grasp" - so I guess you could say that the suit "grasps" Tony and the other parts of the suit? That's the only thing I can think of, but it's kind of a stretch. I guess he WAS up 72 hours?

 

[Ultron-7]

Shotgun & Gemini for sure, Sneaky is a maybe

 

[The Josh]

I really lilke the Heartbreaker Armor. I'd like to see a PowerPose figure done of that one.

 

[nexus]

Far fewer than I would have thought. The Disco and Hot Rod WM prototype are particularly terrible. Others are minor alterations or somewhat underwhelming. Other than Heartbreaker, Silver Centurian, Gemini, and Igor I would likely grab the ones that stand out and/or have cool color schemes like the High Velocity, Blue Steel and Deep Sea. Good to know these IM suits are not going to be breaking the bank.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

Up to #10 for me. The red/gold is what does it for me.

 

[sincnarf]

Silver Centurion for me but must include an updated RDJ battle damaged headsculpt!

 

[Indiana Fett]

Also, this seems to be the Mark 16 'Nightclub' but it is red. Anyone know which one is it? Tony wears this one

I was thinking the same thing, this looks like it's the NIGHTCLUB suit with the pointy shoulders and the extra lights, but it's red & gold?!

 

[T.E.D]

I was thinking the same thing, this looks like it's the NIGHTCLUB suit with the pointy shoulders and the extra lights, but it's red & gold?!

It's a long shot but maybe since it's a stealth armour the panels change colour, like a version of the "retro-reflective" panels on the helicarrier.

I think you're right:

Tony’s taken that idea of a suit that can deploy to him even further at the beginning of this film, and we have what we call the prehensile suit, which allows each individual piece of the suit to fly separately and latch on to him.

Not a precise use of the word though.

 

[Intruder04]

Why is XLII called 'prehensile'?

Cuz it attaches itself onto him and as JonWes said, he'd been up for 72 hrs alongwith Kevin Feige.

Which makes me think - if Tony needed sub-dermal implants to command the suit onto himself, how does he make it latch onto Pepper and later Killian??

I really lilke the Heartbreaker Armor. I'd like to see a PowerPose figure done of that one.

I doubt it cuz a diecast version has already been announced.

I was thinking the same thing, this looks like it's the NIGHTCLUB suit with the pointy shoulders and the extra lights, but it's red & gold?!

IKR. Any different variant or such isn't shown in the artbook.

It's a long shot but maybe since it's a stealth armour the panels change colour, like a version of the "retro-reflective" panels on the helicarrier.

Maybe. Which is why the movie disappointed me in that they did not demo any characteristic feature of any suit.

 

[The Mike]

Mark 28 "The Deadpool Armor" is kind of funny but realistically at HT prices I only would probably buy the Mark 42 and any that were seen to tried to film version the comic armors like Silver Centurion or "Blue Steel" which looks like the Stealth suit, Mark 11 which reminds me of the Heroes Reborn armor.

 

[ShadowX81]

After seeing the movie, im only getting the Mark 42 and Iron Patriot.

There's no way im spending $300 on an armor that appeared onscreen for 2 freaking seconds.

 

[stshammgod]

Wow, I didn't know they actually made all those suit designs. That was a cool read.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Iron patriot, bones or heartbreaker.

But prices mean it'll be either just one of thse or none
