War Machine
From MediaWiki
- War Machine is a human from the Marvel portion of the Crossovers continuity family.
War Machine is a black Iron Man. He's 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.

- 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
- Iron Man (2013)
- A new mold figure retaining the Flip & Attack monicker, this War Machine figure has a pull-back motor and autotransformation gimmick and changes from a futuristic fighter jet to War Machine. Despite the name, this figure doesn't actually flip to transform like a Jumpstarter, rather the robot mode sort of pops up after being wound up and released. The toy features no articulation, but has a large cannon over his left shoulder.
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.
- The Flip & Attack Marvel/Iron Man 3 toys were not released in any Transformers-specific Crossover toyline, however the packaging for these toys use the Transformers logo and state that the toys utilize 'Transformers Technology'.
