You can't beat the classic red and gold. I quite liked the red and silver at the time, but acknowledge that it was a little too bulky. Had no problem with the Jackson Guice/post-Armour Wars one, but it wasn't quite as good as the classic R&G.

I liked the red/silver armour the best, specifically because of the clunkyness of the helmet and backpack, the 'Robbie the Robot' aesthetic. I preferred John Byrne's interpretations of it during his Avengers West Coast and Hulk years.

I was under the impression that this MOEBIUS IRON MAN was what made everybody else do the armor less like a skin-tight costume.  True or false?

Nice to see that Stark has carved the shape of his lower gums into the face-plate of the helmet in that Moebius pic...

"my" best Iron Man will always be the one John Romita jr designed when JB was writing the title, not to mention the nice errol Flynn touch that he gave Tony

I really got into Iron Man during the JR, Bob Layton, run. i have always enjoyed that armor. Made him truly look more like an Iron Man than an Iron robot.

Yes, Philippe...that one was my favorite too! I loved drawing it. Especially the big boots. Has some size while still retaining an overall sleek look.

I dig that run, but I'm still not in love with those boots.  JR Jr did make that armor look good, overall.

I'd never seen that Moebius Iron Man. Strange that he succeeded in some parts of the design but failed in most.
