War Machine

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.

Toys

Crossovers

Next time, baby.

• 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.

Your bargaining posture is highly dubious. Proceed on your way to oblivion. This item has been canceled, with no current plans for release.

Iron Man 2 Concept Series

Redecoed, rebooted, recast...he does it all.

• 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 ROX" with an "X," all caps...Yeah, okay.

• 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

If you want this suit, you're going to have to pry my cold dead body out of it.

• 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.
