Suitcase Armor Iron Man 2 concept art (pic heavy)

[Dung0beetle]

I'm not sure if this has been shown here, but I came across these from the web. I believe they are from the Art of Iron Man 2 book.

Wonder if Tony used pepakura to design that.

He must have, just look how crisp and sharp those fold lines are!

John Eaves was showing some concept art for the Suitcase Suit that he'd done at WonderFest.

Thanks for sharing! I wonder if it could be possible to make the armor fold into a suitcase...
EArthmagnets are pretty useful for quick connecting pieces but I think it might be impractical.
ADAM SAVAGE! I have something you should try to bust!

In the book, they said it is possible to fold as much material needed to cover one's body in such a suitcase. But, in a mechanical point of view, you cannot have a suit of armor with human joints AND having something unfolding like this. The amount of pieces would be insane and the whole would make a pretty feeble armor... " Sorry to have craked your armor, honey, I just sneezed. "

If you want to go deeper in the details, you can analyze this wonderfully done sequence and see all the shortcuts that have been made ( mainly the legs, under the feet, where the helmet is coming from, etc ) to cheat a bit on the audience.

Nope, it's possible, I just got back form the future. Bought a set, It cost me 37,000xj Voltron dollars!

Hello. Just thought I'd pop up out of the blue and let you all know that after my Mark VII suit, I'll be working on a Mark V suitcase suit that actually folds up into a suitcase​!!! ​And if you don't think such a feat is possible, search 'Iron Man Mk V' on YouTube and check out Ryan Brook's video. I'll be upgrading his designs to make my own folding suitcase suit.
