[Pie and Beans]

Kinda weird looking! Can't tell if thats white or very subdued gold. Extremis armour did require a bit of a different look though, if thats what this is. Seems a bit like Steve Job's iRON MAN.

 

[Solo]

Ugly. Stick with the Mark III.

 

[Poyunch]

Needs more red.

 

[Veelk]

Aside from suitcase armor, this is the first armor with any major visual difference since the Mark III.

And it kinda sucks.

 

[spats]

I don't like it. It looks puffy.

 

[Count Dookkake]

Has anyone ever done a mock-up of a Schumacher version?

 

[TheMan]

Needs more red.

exactly. this costume sucks.

 

[AlmostMilk]

Looks terrible. Might look better with the colors flipped.

 

[Air]

I like it, but it does need some more red.

 

[Kinyou]

Looks almost like they just exchanged the colors. Red is now where gold was and vice versa :/

Edit: well okay, the back is entirely different and.... most of the other stuff.... but you still get the idea.

 

[nubbe]

They should try red/black or red/white, way more innovative fashion design

 

[itwasTuesday]

Sharp knees.

 

[Dali]

Needs more red.

Needs less yellow.

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Love it!

Looks amazing.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Pass. Needs more red, like everyone is saying.

 

[ferr]

Does the gold make him fight better?

 

[SouthernDragon]

Looks terrible. Might look better with the colors flipped.

I'd wager this is true.

 

[NomarTyme]

Need more bling.

 

[NobleGundam]

Having mixed feelings, definitely needs more red. There has to be something else better than what they've got instead of this armor.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Aside from suitcase armor, this is the first armor with any major visual difference since the Mark III.

And it kinda sucks.

That was the Silver Centurion armor though, something that had already been featured in the books. I'm not familiar with recent Iron Man stuff but I don't know what this abomination is. It looks even worse than the armor he had in the first Avengers promotional art. There's simply not enough red.

 

[Az]

No ass.

 

[Ban Puncher]

The hell is this white plastic horseshit?

 

[bengraven]

Looks pretty cool, but also reeks of prototype.

 

[Loxley]

The colors are what's throwing it off. I think its a great new design, but the color choices are sort of ruining it.

 

[Secret Fawful]

My father is going to flip out when he sees this. But it looks better the more I look at it....and the drunker I get.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Worse then Iron Man 2 CONFIRMED

 

[duckroll]

Looks really dodgy, but I'm sure they have a good reason for the design. It'll probably look better in the film, but the way it's presented here looks really ugly.

Yeah. I much prefer more red on the armor with gold highlights.

 

[AgentChris]

Looks terrible. Might look better with the colors flipped.

This. Needs more shine too.

 

[NobleGundam]

Also if you compare the other predecessor armor with red & gold, this newer versions gold isn't the same but more... lighter? kinda vanilla-ish, but don't quote me on that.

 

[BY2K]

It looks like some kind of retractable suit, akin of the suitcase suit, but not as portable, maybe?

Also, can someone try to flip the colors, see what comes out of it?

 

[Kinyou]

Ok, why don't you then just call it- call it Gold Man

Let's just call it Gold Man

 

[Poyunch]

Maybe this is his crappy suit that forces Tony into accepting the Extremis.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

I'm sure it will look better in the film but for now it reminds me of one of those human body models with all of the muscles exposed.

 

[Ogrekiller]

 

[itwasTuesday]

Looks terrible. Might look better with the colors flipped.

Maybe.

 

[thetrin]

Yeah, not enough red on the suit. That's unfortunate.

 

[Triple Oceans]

Wow, that suit looks pretty horrible...

 

[NobleGundam]

exactly. thank you.

 

[Mairu]

I'm sure it'll look better in the movie but I'm definitely not a fan of the way it looks now.

 

[duckroll]

I have this feeling that the armor we're looking at here isn't intentionally designed by Stark. It's so far away from the general aesthetic of his previous suit, this one looks almost like an alteration or an accident. Maybe an... "infected" suit in some way?

 

[gerg]

Is it just me, or does the suit look a bit more organic to other people as well?

The central piece, for example, looks quite a bit like a set of abdominal muscles (as opposed to the previous suits' designs), which might be something the designers were going for if the film follows the

Spoiler

Extremis

storyline as rumours have suggested. Maybe it only seems that way because of the colouring, when in fact the basic shapes are much the same.

Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper cross-promotion!

Colors look pretty bad.

 

[IceCold]

There seems to be more beige than red. wtf.

 

[jett]

Looks pretty weird.

You mean like the Iron Patriot?

 

[Brother Sport]

"Tell you what, throw a little hotrod red in there"

The basic design of the suit in the movies is still awesome, but that color and finish? I'm skeptical but it will probably turn out alright.

 

[Jack Scofield]

The armor design peaked in Iron Man 1. Should've stuck with that, but I guess they need reasons to sell new toys to young kids.

 

[iNvid02]

not a fan, needs a splash of BLOOD RED

 

[The Antitype]

If this film follows the Extremis storyline, it's already the best movie of whatever year it comes out.

Looks like they're going for the 'Bleeding Edge Armor' from Invincible Iron Man comics, but yeah, needs more read:

And yes, it's supposed to look more organic, cause like the Extremis Armor, it's basically built straight into his biology now.
