War Machine

War Machine is a big fan of firepower, believing it to be very important to have as many guns on your person as possible. To this end, he got the military to upgrade his original armored suit into a massive, heavily armed mech capable of transforming into a jet.

Iron Man 2 Concept Series
[edit]
- War Machine (Marvel, 2010)
- Accessories: 2 missiles
- Known designers: Marcelo Matere (packaging artist){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
- A redeco of the Iron Man figure from the 2-pack with Spider-Man, this War Machine transforms into a "flying wing" style stealth bomber with two firing missiles under its wings. While the toy was only available on its own, it can still combine with the Spider-Man helicopter if you want it to. This War Machine was sold under the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Iron Man 2|{{#if:||Iron Man 2}}]] Concept Series banner.
Iron Man: The Armored Avenger
[edit]
- War Machine (Marvel, 2011)
- Once again a redeco of a Crossovers Iron Man figure, this War Machine transforms into a black sports car. He features two flip-down non-firing blasters in his shoulders and glow-in-the-dark paint applications. This War Machine was sold under the Iron Man: The Armored Avenger banner. The toy was not announced prior to release, and appeared for sale in Canada before hitting closeout retailers in the United States.
Iron Man 3
[edit]
- War Machine Motorized Battle Charger (2013)
- Released as part of the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Iron Man 3|{{#if:||Iron Man 3}}]] toyline, this movie-inspired War Machine turns into a jet resembling the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Lockheed Martin|{{#if:F-35 Lightning II|F-35 Lightning II|Lockheed Martin}}]] jet fighter. Taking a page from the original Battlechargers, this Battle Charger autotransforms from jet to "attack bot" mode with the help of a pull-back motor. Unlike the Generation 1 Battlechargers, however, War Machine cannot use his motor in robot mode.
- This toy was not released in any Transformers-specific toyline, however the packaging uses the Transformers logo and states that it utilizes "Transformers Technology".
Notes
[edit]- War Machine was co-created by John Byrne.
- The first Crossovers Iron Man toy was redecoed in War Machine's color scheme in 2009, but the redeco ended up representing "stealth mode" Iron Man instead of War Machine himself.
- Like his pal Iron Man, War Machine has been voiced by a few Transformers voice actors, including Phil LaMarr, Nolan North, LeVar Burton, Bumper Robinson, Kevin Michael Richardson and Keith Silverstein.
- War Machine (the armor, anyway) was created by two Transformers creators, albeit two who did not work on Transformers together: Len Kaminski and Kev Hopgood.
