Unseen 'Iron Man' Concept Designs by Harald Belker

Tony Stark had some amazing gadgets in Iron Man (2008), but there are a few that didn't make it to the screen. Thanks to concept illustrator Harald Belker (Transformers, Spider-Man, TRON: Legacy) we get a peek at some of them.

Check them out after the jump along with comments from his site. Click to enlarge.

"This could have been my last big-time movie car, since the trend is taking over of having car companies place their product in films. Inspired by the mask part of the suit costume, Tony Stark had to build his own super car. We were ready to build when the plug was pulled and Audi gave the money the producers needed to write it out of the script. Too bad - it would have been a b****ing toy."

"Finished with the car, I jumped over to the suit. Phil Saunders had been working on it for a while, and I was handed some little pieces that needed exploring - mostly things that were under the suit and popping out of it. Here's a sample of a how small rocket launcher can be activated out of the thigh of the suit."

"The mask, probably inspired by Darth Vader's, needed lots of little electronic gadgets and cameras behind the shield. I was bummed to see that it didn't make it into the movies."
