It is a prototype, you hear J.A.R.V.I.S say something about the suit not being fight ready in the movie and after going under water, destroying two helicopters and a flight to Tennessee it is pretty safe to say that the suit that can't even fight will be dead by now. It is also shown that Tony tries to get the suit to fly to which J.A.R.V.I.S replies that the suit is a prototype. This implies that he has not fully optimized for switching modes or using repulsors or even finished working on the weapons and flight stabiliesers and such. This could be supported by the greater power shown by the suit that it is not optimized (power saver mode xD).
