**top secret** U.S. Military research file #HD1001 Following the events at the stark expo concerning Hammer Industries' illegal work with known criminal Ivan Vanko all remaining contracts with Hammer industries have been terminated. Due to national security reasons all data and prototypes concerning the drone armors has been confiscated and Hammer Industries has been shut down permenantly. Despite being controlled by Ivan Vanko, the drone armors showed considerable promise for military application. Prototypes based on these designs have been built by the U.S. Military to begin use in the field to minimize reliance on Iron Man and the War Machine armored suits. The following images depict the first U.S. assault drone designated "MD-J" (Marine Drone- Jungle variant). On the right is Hammer Industries' prototype "weapons assault" drone. The left is "MD-p"  As you can see from the following image the "MD" model is modular, allowing the use of several interchangable weapons platforms. Developed so far is a "brushcutter" chain saw and a heavy machine gun attachment for the forearms:  the drone also has an advanced optics option which increases the machine's visual sensory data recognition abilities, also allowing it to operate under low-light senarios. There are also mounting brackets for a high tech guile suit.*  The following images are depicting the MD-J in it's final mission capable stage of production with fully operational guille suit:     As you can see the guille suit greatly increases the stealth capabilities of this drone unit and the modular weapon system makes it a versatile platform for missions which require adaptability.... *Cammo Guille suit is based on comandeered technology aquired from the terrorist organization known as "Cobra." |

Nice. I like the camo ans weapons, but I'm not feeling the JV gear.  |

Thats the way that camo should have looked to begin with.

Looks cool. The JV gear is an interesting touch.

interesting, even though i'm not sure if the camo can hide the shiny metallic paint under it  |

Neat take on the drone. I like the modular weapons platform idea. Perhaps if you fit a BAT backpack to it somehow it could store its weapons on-board. The ghillie suit is... interesting. Perhaps if all the colors were tied together more it'd be more seamless.
In your first pic you said, "On the left is Hammer Industries' prototype "weapons assault" drone. The right is "MD-p"." I think you meant to switch that since looking at it the MD is on the Left.

lol yeah... the shiney metalic would be harder to "hide"... but I figured it was ok. More or less this was an experiment in modifying the original drone to be more close to the movie drone.
the JV gear is fully removable as you can see, and the pin-heads I used to attach the parts on the legs are removable as well. so other than the paintjob it is just like the original. I didn't repaint the JV gear because since it's removable I wanted to be able to put it back on my Jungle viper...
sgc caper your right about which one I was talking about.... I fixed it.

I'd like to see this with the JV gear and the drone painted to match. I like the idea and it does look cool. Matching paint would tie it together just fine I think.

Matching paint would tie it together just fine I think. then what type of scheme should I go with? should I just repaint the entire two figures to make sure they match, giving the drone a more flatt, or matte coloring? To be quite honest I'll probably not change anything else on this. I may repaint one more Ground assault drone in the correct movie style cammo just for the fun of it and give the JV suit back to the viper. |

btw: those pin-heads worked amazingly well as mounting points for those two smaller sections of the guille suit. I highly recomend using them if your going to try and transfer the suit to any other figures instead of trying to use the rubbery arm attachments that are on the JV's forearms.

I wouldn't change anything on it either. In fact, I may copy this if I get another drone.
As far as color schemes, anything would work, just as long as it's the same on the drone and JV parts.
Honestly the only unrealistic part of this is the backstory. ;-)
Even a fuckup this big would close a major government contractor. Worst case is they would lose THIS contract, pay some fines and spend a few years in Senate sub-committees.

I thought that the government would comandeer the data, shut down Hammer Industries and then do their own production on the drones. Even though it was a fuck up they'd see the potential in the designs and make their own. Throw hammer out of it and do their own RandD on the designs. btw I took a freeze frame from the movie of the Marine drone if anyone is interested in a reference photo:  |

Even less realistic. That would be quite against the law for the government to do that. More than likely Hammer would retain that contract. At the very least until they could transition to another contractor, like say Roxxon (Stane and Stark fight in front of the building in the first movie).
I'll bet Hammer lawyers could get the government to overlook the collusion with Vanko if Hammer can supply working drones.

I'll bet Hammer lawyers could get the government to overlook the collusion with Vanko if Hammer can supply working drones. Isn't it just as illegal what they did with the mark II in the movie, turning it into war machine? They practically stole it, and then Hammer did the initial work on it to weaponize it, and they kept it and continue use of the suit. Perhaps a seizure of the work and a transition of the contract is a more reasonable idea. Either way I don't think the government would overlook a piece of tech with such promise. Maybe they asked stark to figure it out and build them? (although I think He'd refuse). |

The government wouldn't overlook that tech. As much as those Senators didn't like Stark, I'll bet they could be convinced to let Hammer keep the contract since it's clear he has a product that works. It takes a lot to lose a defense contract. (ie: Blackwater)
And yes, the seizure of the Mark II was illegal, if you remember, Pepper was trying to get it back.

What would put this over the top would be the gear from a second JV. This thing's so big it really does need the second ghillie suit to properly cover it. Plus, you could give it both the sniper rifles to justify its entire existence by being sold to the gub'mint as being able to do what no human sniper could possibly do - take out two targets at once.

I wrestled with the idea of grafting the JV's gun barrel and clip into the arms of this thing... I might go on and do that since I've actually got another marine drone extra to work with now. Now I just need to get a few more JV's for parts... |
