War Machine > Renaissance Armor?

[Tetragrammaton]

Just curious what the thought was behind having the War Machine armor follow the Renaissance model in the position progression.

Yes, I'm that bored.

i will also like to ask why war machine had to be black and silver?


just kidding bro... if i was to make an answer, i would say they felt like it, and wanted to be innovative

I geuss I can accept that in terms of sheer firepower the War Machine out guns the later model Renaissance model.

I can understand the reasoning they gave when creating "War Machine" (Variable Response Battle Suit), but I think any of Tony's Iron Man armors should be able to beat the crud out of it.

It is the man in the armor that counts in the whole equation but I say War machine can be beaten by whatever armor Tony is wearing.

So, any of the mods/ admin know why the War Machine follows the Renaissance armor here on the site in the position descriptions?

I really can't say.  Must have been the notion that the War Machine armor was a specialty armor on par with the Hulk and Thorbuster in terms of power so it was grouped with them.  However, that still contradicts the chronological order of their appearances, as War Machine was made long before the Modular and the Renaissance armor.  There's just no rhyme nor reason to it.  Just think of your War Machine status as being like the Parnell Jacobs model that Sunset Bain's lackey upgraded.  That one seemed to do a good job kicking Renaissance Armor Iron Man's ass.
