Iron Patriot armor

Iron Patriot is a repainted version of James Rhodes' Mark II War Machine armor.

Iron Man 3
After the Battle in New York, Rhodey has his War Machine armor upgraded by A.I.M. and painted in a red, silver and blue patriotic design. Iron Patriot then becomes the Army's top soldier to dangerous fights overseas, particularly against the Ten Rings. However the new paint job immediately became the source of laughter due to it's paint job. The Patriot was used to find a possible transmission source, both in Pakistan but were both dead ends. The second one however was a ruse to kidnap the Iron Patriot for Aldrich Killian. Rhodey (with the Patriot still on) was taken to Killian's base were he used his Extremis powers to force Rhodey out of it but Eric Savin stole it used to enter Air Force One.

Once on board he killed the presidential guard and and kidnap President Ellis himself. Savin took off the armor, and locked Ellis inside. The armor then flew Ellis to Killian's base at the Miami port. Ellis was chained up inside the armor, but was rescued by Rhodes. When Ellis was rescued, Rhodes reclaimed the armor. As Tony Stark destroyed all of his Iron Man suits, the Iron Patriot suit is now the only known remaining armor.
