History
Tony asked that Reed teleport him to the Moon with his "Fold-Space Transceptor", as the armor apparently lacked boosters to fly there.[citation needed]

The transceptor caused a problem within the armor, leading to a brief battle.[citation needed]
Capabilities[]
Added insulation for power systems made this armor larger than previous ones.[citation needed]
As it was still in testing, its full capabilities were unknown. It did display functioning repulsors, a uni-beam, tractor beam, and a wrist-mounted weapon on a gauntlet.[citation needed]Notes
- This armor was originally identified as the Iron Man Armor Model 18 in 2008's All-New Iron Manual. It was subsequently renumbered to Model 17 in the Iron Manual TPB, released later that year, due to the reclassification of the previously-designated Model 14 as a subset of the Model 13. In 2018, the "Many Armors of Iron Man" variant cover series for Tony Stark: Iron Man #1 split the Model 13 back into 13 and 14, implicitly moving up this armor's designation back to Model 18. The cover series implies other changes, as the designations for Models 42, 45, 50 and 51 remain unchanged despite the Model 13 split bumping up the designations for Models 16, 22, 29 and 37 (to 17, 23, 30 and 38, respectively). Since the limited scope of the cover series makes it impossible to determine the full extent of changes in numeration (as it only spotlighted twenty suits), the Marvel Database will prioritize the numbering from the Iron Manual TPB.
