Sometime after the battle against Ivan Vanko and the Hammer Drones, Tony stripped the War Machine armor of everything that Justin Hammer had "upgraded" it, with leaving the suit with no weaponry. When Rhodes asked why Stark would remove all of his offensive weapons, Stark revealed that he had designed a suit specifically for Rhodes, the War Machine 2.0 (derived from the Mark XXII "Hot Rod" Prototype). This new armor syncs perfectly with Rhodes' steady temperament and aptitude for weapons-based combat. It packs the same heavy artillery into an ultra-sleek design, with which Rhodes provides critical support to Iron Man on intense strike missions. Its heavy external armor plating enables Rhodes to withstand intense pressures. The inner exoskeleton incorporates a carbon-composite plating that allows the suit to derive solar power.
Rhodes began using the War Machine armor to take down Ten Rings terrorists in other countries finding that they had acquired Hammer Industries weaponry. War Machine took out the terrorists and continued to investigate the mysterious Ten Rings. By the time of the Chitauri invasion of New York, War Machine was busy fighting terrorists in Asia. Tony contacted him for assistance, but Rhodes told him that even at supersonic speed it'd take over an hour for him to return, so Tony told him not to bother. After dealing with the terrorists in Asia, Rhodes returned to New York, finding the battle already over he located Stark in a Shawarma restaurant, where he was introduced to the Avengers.
