Talk:War Machine Armor Mark VII/Iron Patriot Mark II/@comment-65.101.75.172-20190517162415/@comment-29433749-20191207185446

Hot Toys have never really gone out of their way to take creative liberties with their figures. They didn't even bother to give the Mark 2 a micro-gun on each arm (unlike Play Imaginative's Super Alloy) because only one was used in Iron Man 3. Plus it's not like Hasbro's Legends figures come with every weapon.

As for the suit's stature in comparison to Iron Man, it doesn't make sense to me that Stark would build such bulky suits for Rhodey when so many of his own and Pepper's are very slim. Again, Stark's engineering philosophy is that size doesn't dictate power. MCU Tony Stark doesn't know how they both look in OUR comics, just like he didn't know that the (possibly) Mark 6 would be the last War Machine suit, that he wasn't meant to create Ultron, or that Maya Hansen should've been the real villain of Iron Man 3.

You might be right that it wasn't meant to be a heavy combat suit. Kind of makes sense. Funny though that you compare this suit to the Mark 3. When they revealed the Mark 3 a lot of fans were celebrating the full-fat appearance of that suit after the slim Mark 2.
