Military isn't going to spend a billion dollars on suits.

They can't get the arc reactor down.

They aren't smart enough to do it. I mean, Tony can do it in a cave with a box of scraps, but they aren't Tony Stark.

>>82968169
Because Tony actually has a pretty ironclad lawsuit against the government for unlawful seizure.

The first War Machine was An edited MK 2.
A shame that they never showed It again, It wa good

I haven't seen IM2 in ages. How did they get around Rhodey stealing it the first time?

>>82968199
They're already spending 1.5 trillion over 50 years for the F-35, why not get a couple dozen War Marchines as well.

>>82968259
Tony never pushed the issue of the US government stealing from a private citizen without any of the usual legal bullshit they use to steal from a private citizen

So get them to salvage a sample from the hundreds of scrapped Iron Legion/Ultron/Hammer drones that litters the MCU.

BW confirmed that Tony let Rhodey take it. With alll the security redundancy's he could have just put it on and flown off unless Stark let it happen. He thought he was dying, so he didn't care.

>>82968259
Tony gave it to Rhodey, Tony presumably designs new upgrades and helps maintain it. He has Arc Reactor tech down on lock so they have to work with him, and since Rhodey is his best friend he has no objections.

Doesn't the military tinker with it? All those protruding guns, cannons, missile launchers, and bulky armor plating doesn't really seem like Tony's style. There's also the modifications made to the armor during its repainted Iron Patriot phase.

>>82968169
Do you think MCU Norman Osborn will reverse engineer the Iron Man suit to make the Green Goblin suit?

>>82973885
That would be a good reason to put Tony in Homecoming
