The S.K.I.N. Armor

Design Notes :

Shell Composition:  S.K.I.N. Armor (replaces gold areas of armor): A flexible elastic alloy. It is lightweight but very dense and is harder than titanium. The strength of S.K.I.N.  approaches low-grade adamantium. S.K.I.N. can be contracted to fit into a small container or stretched/shaped into another form. The alloy's mysterious properties were developed by Askew Technologies and the exact elements incorporated into the S.K.I.N. remain unknown. Tony has set up the S.K.I.N. of his armor to be stored in a small container. On his command the S.K.I.N. spills out and assumes its default armor shape.

Power Source and Energy Information:  Beta Particle Generator and solar power converters.

Control Systems Interface:  Cybernetic Interface and Battle Computer.

Weaponry:
*Energy Blade: Similar in appearance to Captain America's [former] photon shield. The
Energy Blade is emitted from Tony's gauntlet and can also be flattened into a shield. A low-power version of the shield can be spread over Tony's entire armor.

*Repulsors:  Laser-guided particle beam emission units mounted in the palm of hand.

*Unibeam:  Multi-band light and force beam emitter. Can be adjusted for a variety of effects such as search light, heat beams, tractor beam, and lasers.

*Smart Bombs: Housed in the gauntlets and upper chest armor segment serving the dual function of weapon and sensor array.

*Pulse Bolts.

Equipment:
*Sonic Array: Temporarily knocks out anyone with in range.

*Boot Jets (Mark 5): High-speed triple source gyro-stabilized turbines.

*Holographic Projector.

*Cloakingor Chameleon Effect (disabled when Iron Man fires): Gives the armor the illusion of invisibility. Cloaking utilizes a great deal of energy and can only be utilized when the armor is not in combat or is not performing other strenuous activities.

*Energy Absorber: External converter that transforms a variety of energy forms into usable power for the armor. The absorber allows Iron Man to focus energy blasts through Iron Man's unibeam.
