We have finished the torso part of the wearable War Machine suit costume and designed an aluminum alloy supporting framework for the direction control mechanism and the main body of the 6 gun-barrels. The aluminum supporting base are mounted to the back armor by four M5*14 screws and a balance structure. The mini-gun can be installed to or removed from the supporting base within 10 seconds with a motor screw-driver. The weight of the entire mini gun and the supporting structure will be around 1 kilogram.

The decoration layer of the M134 Mini-gun was not shown in the photos.

What's coming next
In the next post we will show you the entire finished prototype wearable War Machine suit costume along with some of the finished add-ons.

About pre-order
We will start to take preorder this week. There will be discount for pre-orders. The earlier you place your pre-order the more discount you will get. Get prepared!

Official release date
It seems the official release date of the wearable War Machine suit will be delayed one or two weeks but we will manage to ship the first suit by the end of January 2015.

Let's examine some of the exciting features under-development for our wearable War Machine suit!

Prototype of the M134 mini-gun

We designed a 2 dimensional rotation platform for the iconic M134 mini-gun mounted on the shoulder back of the War Machine suit. The direction of the mini-gun is controlled by the turning of your head, or more simply, it points to the direction you are looking at. However, the mini-gun does have a rotation range limit -- about 45 degree up and 45 degree horizontal from left to right without running into your head. And the shooting, rotating of the six barrels, is controlled by your voice commend or your finger gesture.

In this video only one dimension of the platform rotation and the 6 barrels rotation was shown.

Prototype of the Ex-Wife Missile

We designed a 3-step open and close mechanism for the War Machine suit's famous Ex-Wife Missile developed by the Hammer Industry. The front cover of the shoulder weapon compartment opens then the top cover of the Ex-Wife Missile lifts up to give enough room for the supporting structure of the missile lift forward.

In this video we did not installed the missile on its supporting structure but you can clearly see all the open and close sequences.

Prototype of the articulated bendable waist & crotch armor

As we have mentioned in our recent post 'Road Map Before the End of 2014', 95% surface of the War Machine suit will be covered by ABS. We designed articulated structure for each segment of the waist and crotch armor so you can do almost all the natural movement your waist or crotch can do -- bend forward or backward or to left or to right or rotate.

In this video we shown all the simulated movement your waist or crotch can do and we make these movements fast to show the structure's reaction and reliability.

"Who's the hot mess now?"?€?(Iron Man 3) Pepper to Tony after the battle in the Roxxon Oil Rig.

Well what we are going to make for all the female Iron Man fans is not the Mark 42 suit that Pepper wore for 2 times in the movie Iron Man 3, but the rescue armor that Tony Stark built exclusively for her.

Generally speaking we are making the female Iron Man suit according to the following virtual design from internet.
