Yesterday we showed you two of the suits from IRON MAN 3 that were released through the “Unlock the Armors” sweepstakes that is on the film’s Facebook page. Two more suits have been unlocked and are now available for your viewing pleasure.
Pictured below are the Mark 17- Artillery Level RT Suit “Heartbreaker” and the Mark 38- Heavy Lifting Suit “Igor.” The Heavy Lifting suit showed up in one of the newer trailers for a brief moment but that was enough for many of us to speculate that it was a “Hulkbuster” suit. It still could be a “Hulkbuster” (or at least a prototype) but for now it’s just “Igor.”
The amount of suits appearing in IRON MAN 3 may seem ridiculous but I don’t think they’re going overboard or dong it just so Marvel can sell more toys (although I’m sure that’s an added bonus). The official synopsis asks the question, “Does the man make the suit or does the suit make the man?” and I think showing us the different suits is to strengthen the point that what makes Iron Man isn’t what suit Tony Stark is wearing or how much firepower it has. What makes Iron Man IS Tony Stark and in IRON MAN 3 it looks like judgment is coming for the man inside and outside of the suit.
IRON MAN AND HIS AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMSUITS is in theaters May 3rd, 2013.
