Iron Man Armor MK VIII
From Marvel Database

History
Stark originally intended to use this armor to stop Firepower and then discard it. However, he continued to act as Iron Man.
A cover story was made mentioning a fictitious Stark employee had died as Iron Man and Stark had made a new hire. A similar model was also used by Rhodes briefly.
After being shot by Kathy Dare, Tony had a bio-chip implanted in his spine. In conjunction with a special undersuit, he was able to move in the armor.
He readjusted the armor's cybernetic interface after the Mars Twins' attempt to control his bio-chip.
As nerve damage grew from Kearson DeWitt's techno-virus and mental strain, Tony switched to other armors.
Bethany Cabe used this armor to battle Ultimo.
