You've seen the Phil Moyer lineart that went into this in a different form, but here's the official release poster for Bubblegum Crisis: The Iron Age #3, "This Year's Model". Don't fret, the version you remember will be back for issue #4, with a few surprises added.

Ah, yes... just like the movie--the prototype "real thing" design.

I actually loved the "War Machine" look moreso than the silly red/yellow design, IMO.

The "silly" color scheme serves a useful purpose in its original context (and one that is no less useful in TIA, come to that): It was designed to reassure the public that Iron Man was not a monster or a mindless weapon, something for the average citizen to fear and loathe. I suspect the Knight Sabers' hardsuits are brightly colored for similar reasons (and for recognition, of course).

They're also the colors of Tony Stark's elementary school, if you believe Adam Warren. :)

Hmmm. You put an actual date on it. Given our... well... RCW tendencies, I'd expect that means your certain you'll have it out to us next week. Which probobly means that its actually in the can and just waiting for fellow suspects once over just to be sure.

Yeah, well... don't get too excited. They put a date on Duke Nukem Forever once, too. :)

More seriously, nothing is ever entirely certain, but the person on the hook for the two remaining scenes is aware of the poster, and I'm reasonably confident that I can pinch-hit if it doesn't work out for him.

It's as good a handwave for the Iron Man suit's unfeasibly colossal energy demands as any. :)

I have an awesome IronMan: The Movie t-shirt, which just has an image of the arc on the front. That I didn't notice until I was out particularly late was glow in the dark, which just made it about 20% more awesome.
