The Orphanage and The Embassy did additional work. Saunders streamlined Granov's concept art, making it stealthier and less cartoonish in its proportions, and also designed the War Machine armor, but it was "cut from the script about halfway through pre-production." He explained that the War Machine armor "was going to be called the Mark IV armor and would have had weaponized swap-out parts that would be worn over the original Mark III armor," and that it "would have been worn by Tony Stark in the final battle sequence." Concerned with the transition between the computer-generated and practical costumes, Favreau hired Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) to create the bulk of the visual effects for the film after seeing Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) and Transformers (2007). Granov's designs were the primary inspiration for the film's, and he came on board the film after he recognized his work on Jon Favreau's MySpace page. Iron Man comic book artist Adi Granov designed the Mark III with illustrator Phil Saunders. The Mark II resembles an airplane prototype with visible flaps. A scale model was used for the shots of it being made. The animatronic required five operators for the arm, and was built on a gimbal to simulate walking. Stan Winston Studios built a 10-foot (3.0 m), 800-pound (360 kg) animatronic version of the Iron Monger suit. A single 90-pound (41 kg) version was built and was designed to only have its top half worn at times. It also foreshadows the design of Obadiah Stane's Iron Monger armor. The Mark I design was intended to look like it was built from spare parts: particularly, the back is less armored than the front, as Tony Stark would use his resources to make a forward attack. Stan Winston and his company were hired to build metal and rubber versions of the armors. Iron Man (2008) director Jon Favreau wanted the film to be believable by showing the eventual construction of the Mark III suit in its three stages.
