Toys
Crossovers
- Iron Man / War Machine (Marvel two-pack,
2010)
- This War Machine toy is a new mold, transforming into a SWAT vehicle. It's packaged with an Iron Man lightcycle figure, and can combine with it to form a "super bomber". After being announced at Toy Fair 2010 for a fall release, it was cancelled without further word.
 Proceed on your way to oblivion. |
Iron Man 2 Concept Series
- War Machine (Marvel, 2010)
- Accessories: Two missiles
- A redeco of Iron Man from the Iron Man/Spider-Man combiner 2-pack, 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. War Machine was sold under the "Iron Man 2 Concept Series" banner.
Iron Man: The Armored Avenger
- War Machine (Marvel, 2011)
- Once again a redeco of an Iron Man Crossovers figure, 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. 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
- War Machine Motorized Battle Charger (2013)
- Released as part of the Iron Man 3 toyline, this movie-inspired War Machine turns into a jet resembling the F-35 Lightning II 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. The "TRANSFORMERS technology" of 2013 apparently can't hold a candle to 1986.
Notes
- 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 Nolan North, LeVar Burton, Bumper Robinson, Tesshō Genda, and Óscar Flores.
- 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.
