New War Machine Armor

"Being an older, non-updated design grants War Machine an edge over informatical or cybernetical attacks aimed to shut down Starktech-based systems: War Machine now incorporates in his design several components derived from Obadiah Stane's reverse engineering of the oldest Iron Man armor."

Is this correct? When the Starktech fails in Avengers Initiative War Machine's systems go offline. Von Blitzschlag powers his armor despite his protests ("I'd rather die than beg for help from a nazi."), and later when questioned about his armor being online Rhodes says "A backup system I didn't know was there: obsolete Stanetech. It doesn't matter now." and later "Yeah, I don't...". Isnt this implied to be a lie? Or is there another source for the Stanetech information?

War Machine MAX

Could there be an addition of the War Machine MAX series?

Yes I think there should be (The Chuck Dixon one?) because it was controversial, being so right-wing.

Actually,I think it was Chuck Austen.

Second War Machine

Who exactly was the second War Machine, the one portrayed as a villain in Iron Man vol.3? I know that Rhodes recognized him as a former Stark employee. An update with more info on the villainous War Machine would be nice.

Should this really be the destination page for War Machine?

It strikes me that when most people think of "war machine" they think of militarism or the military industrial complex or military in general. At the same time, this is the only article with the specific title War Machine, so I am not entirely comfortable changing this page's name to something like "War Machine (Comic Book)" and creating a redirect page for "War Machine" to collect the various uses. Does anyone here have any thoughts on what the correct solution to this problem might be? Thanks. Justinpwilsonadvocate 01:13, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Until there are other articles that actually use the name "War Machine" (proper noun), there's no reason to move this article and create a disambig page. As it is, "War Machine" isn't mentioned a single time on Military-industrial complex. As such, the comic book character is the dominant usage of the phrase, meaning that it can stay in its place. Not a bad question, though, and it is one that I would expect (and hope) will get revisited in the future to ensure that the phrase hasn't become more common. EVula 01:44, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

It seems that someone has recently edited the material of this article. I've re-edited it back to what I hope is the original format, but someone may want to cross-reference it with the original format just to be sure. The Chibi Kiriyama

Better Image

The current image, as of 4/24/07, has War Machine upside-down. Certainly a better, right-side up image exists. --24.249.108.133 17:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Rightside up v. Better Quality

The upside-down War Machine, however, showed a much more recent version of the character and his armor. Would that compensate enough for its wrong direction?

Still, both are War Machine. The time the image was used is pretty irrelevant to the main image of the article. If it was talking about War Machine in history, then it'd be different; but this part is simply of War Machine. BlueCanary9999 20:16, 21 June 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999

In that case, perhaps we could include it once somebody adds more info on the more recent War Machine comics

I don't get your point. It's still War Machine, new or not. BlueCanary9999 19:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)BlueCanary9999

The point they are trying to make is, the current image has Rhodes wearing outdated and destroyed armour. The new model should be used to represent War Machine as he currently is. Kontar 04:33, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Pic without the mask

Kudos to anyone who can find a fair-use image from a comic book of Rhodes without the mask on. --P3d0 (talk) 13:33, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Upcoming series

According to a July 25 article, War Machine is getting his own on-going series starting December 2008, coming from writer Greg Pak and artist Leonardo Manco. The information in that CBR article cements that the character is going in a new direction: [1]. Should this be addressed in the article as to the "future" of the character? Because even though the stories are not yet released, there are concrete documents about what has already been written with the material being in a "post-production" stage. Very informative and concerning the character, something people who would come to this page would definitely want to know. --74.235.39.116 (talk) 22:25, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
