This Iron Man does seem to be an original fighter jet design, but the overall shape of the main body generally resembles that of a McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) F-15 Eagle (like G1/Classics/Universe Transformers Starscream), but the shape of the wings, the nose cone, the jet intakes, and the bent rudders more closely resembles the Lockheed F/A-22 (now just F-22, apparently) Raptor.
So, I think he looks like a cross between a F-15 and F-22, and I think the form suits Iron Man/War Machine.
The sad thing is, I don't think either of those is new. The Hummer seems to be Wolverine redone with Iron Man's head and colors, and the War Machine is a repaint of the special Iron Man figure that came in a combiner two-pack with the helicopter Spider-Man figure that could combine into either a "super bomber" or a "super robot." They have re-released that version of Spider-Man as a separate figure, too. I saw that War Machine at a local Wal-Mart, but haven't decided whether or not to get it.
to be honest this figure isnt as much as i expected i passed up both versions of him cuz i didnt like him that much yeah i am a fan of war machine but hes just a repaint the only repaint i thought was pretty clever was grey hulk him i liked this one i personally think they coulda done better but he does look nice ill give it that but like i said i wish they woulda went with something else
I just got this yesterday and I love him. I was on the fence on getting him but when I saw this on display at the Iron Man 2 Toy Launch at Megamall yesterday I hunted him down and got him. And I will call him War Machine. I'll get the new Lamborghini Mold when it comes out if I want a red and gold Iron Man. I am still disappointed that the box art and the actual toy are painted differently. I would have loved a Gunmetal Gray Iron Man.
thanks for the appreciation. yeah, i sort of figured he was "inspired" by the Raptor, because of how the tail fins/wings and cockpit looked like, it's just that the wings are two wide and long for a regular F-22. but it was, nevertheless, a good attempt by hasbro.
i think i saw a custom from this mold as starscream

interesting point.
they're a new WM crossover figure coming out as announced at SDCC 2010
and it's another repaint! they've repainted the ironman/jet figure that came in a 2-pack combiner set with the Spider-Man/helicopter figure.
