Iron Man 2 War Machine Tweak

So thanks to you guys, I am hooked on IM2 figs now. I love the War Machine (the movie version). I plan on doing some sort of army building, even if it's just 5 of them or so. I bought 2 the other day. I like everything EXCEPT that big canon. It just doesn't look right to me. So I thought maybe a substitution would work. I at first thought about taking the small canon from another War Machine figure, but then I've got an extra figure for every one that has 2 of the small canons. I even thought about buying the comic War Machine, but I still would have the same problem -- extra figure = extra expense. I looked around, and all I could find was half of a Marauder Inc. High Energy Plasma disrupter gun. I had chopped off the barrel to use in a custom. So I chopped of the handle and the stock, and dremeled out a hole, and sure enough, I think it works pretty well. It sort of reminds me of Predator. I am going to order a few more from Marauder, and try one with the barrel attached and see how that looks. Let me know what you all think.

Yeah that's definitely on some Predator type ish, like Rhodey jacked a Pred cannon and incorporated it in his suit. Good call.

I've tried a few more weapons. Not sure that I like them. I still like the Marauder gun. Have a few coming in the mail.
The first is the barrel from the Jungle Assault Ripcord fig. It's okay, but it's a little too slim and you can see the ball popping through the top, which I guess isn't a big deal.
The 3rd pic is a Star Wars gun, one of those extras that comes in the little box with certain figs. The right side is just the barrel while the left is the whole gun without the handle. I like just the barrel one better, but again, it's just okay.
The last is the gun from the JUMP jetpack. I'm not really diggin' this one. Of course these all need to be clean up a little, but it's just some rough ideas. Like I said, I like the High Energy Plasma Disrupter better, and that will probably be my default.

Personally, I say, suck it up and buy the comic version War Machine and use the missile launcher from it. It fits perfectly on the ball, and only need a little paint (or some acetone from what I've read) and you're done. If you're worried about having the extra figure with out anything to do with it, try experimenting with the various guns you're using here on him.

I'm not saying using your imagination here isn't the way to go, but, to me, the guns you're using just don't scream War Machine. The Star Wars ones look too big, and the Marauder gun looks like it's just a broken piece (I know, I know...this is just a test...), and the JUMP gun rides too low on the shoulder.

Again, these are just my thoughts, and I'm sure you, and most people on here don't give a crap really.

Yup, it's me.

Cool mods! I ended up buying the comic version and swiper his shoulder missile launcher. Then I ended up seeing the Hot Toys War Machine and saw how the missile launcher comes up and out on his shoulder pad. The exclusive Wal-Mart 6 inch War Machine will have that accessory, so I wish Hasbro would have incorporated that same look with this figure. It bugs me that Hasbro's market research says kids want launchers on toys because between this 3 3/4 Iron Man line and the ROC line, all of these launchers look horribly out out place and are a nuisance to collectors.
