| Iron Man 2 Movie - War Machine ArtFX Statue from Kotobukiya |
Newcomer to the franchise Don Cheadle plays the character alongside Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark. A longtime friend of Stark's, James Rhodes was a U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel working for the state department as a liaison to Stark Industries in its arms development capacity. Beyond his official role, Rhodes is a good friend of the eccentric billionaire and one of the few people Stark can count on in an emergency. Immediately recognizing the versatility and power (not to mention fun) of the Iron Man suits, Rhodes was destined to don a suit of his own.
In "Iron Man 2" Rhodes gets his wish when he commandeers and upgrades a special armor that focuses on heavy weaponry. The War Machine armor is bulkier than the Iron Man suits, with large armor plates and reinforced sections on the hips, arms, and torso. Its offensive capability is obvious from the massive gatling-style cannon on its left shoulder, as well as the twin submachine guns mounted on its forearms. War Machine is posed in a martial stance, bringing his right forearm gun to bear as the shoulder cannon tracks additional targets. Unlike the resplendent red and gold of Stark's advanced suits, War Machine is much more somber in sleek, no nonsense black and silver with red highlights around the eyes and chest-mounted arc reactor.

This statue is fairly decent, but if I am going to buy any Iron Man 2 representation of War Machine, (one my all time favorites I might add), It will be Hot Toys 1/6 scale figure due out in June or July I believe. It is amazingly accurate to the movie and awesome.
