Ok, the corp bacground defenitely helps.
He could be an AI inhabiting a super drone for an alternate take on the build.

Agreed; direct corporate backing makes a big difference.

The Iron Will is an old, clunky piece of industrial equipment; if you want to rule that the military has finally gotten Power Armor right, go for it. Maybe declare you have to use a system where it can only be used while in VR via a direct DataJack connection, and each armor has to be individually fitted and calibrated to the pilot? Just use the Iron Will stats, but get rid of the Agility penalty.

For the AI version, I'd start with a Mitsuhama Tomino and swap out the Touch Sensors and Cyborg Adaptation mods for 20 Normal + 10 Reactive for the armor and IT&L 2.

Either way, since it's not actually an Iron Will or a  Mitsuhama Tomino, but a <The company they're working for> <Name of Model> Eye Eternal, being the GM, can just declare it has a flight mode and adjust the movement stats accordingly.

Screw it, go for digitized consciousness.

That would be an AI with the "Ghost In The Machine" Negative Quality. -15 BP, and you lose your Inherent Programs to represent that you're an eGhost.

did that, and the whole AI in a drone body but for best results use the cyborg rules for base using a nexus to support the AI.

and as few Ghost in the Machine better to use the Drone based as then the AI can use the drone as a full body other wise without adapting the cyborg rules all a AI can do is issue commands. they can't go full Hot sim.

As paradoxical as it might sound, there's no actual rule saying you can't take GitM AND Pilot Origin. Just take it at the 1st rank; Jump In, but no Autosofts.
