From Transformers Wiki
The name or term "Ironhide" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Ironhide (disambiguation). Ironhide is an Autobot from the Aligned continuity family. Ironhide is a battle hardened veteran, one of the toughest amongst the Autobots. As one of Optimus' oldest and closest friends, Ironhide saw the great potential within Optimus to be more than what he allowed himself to be.

Ironhide first met Optimus Prime during the prolonged stalemate at Praxus. Furious at the loss of his home, Ironhide joined the Autobots despite his cynicism regarding Optimus's leadership. It was at Praxus that Optimus was first showed a preference to stand and fight rather than make strategic withdrawals, and Ironhide slowly but surely began to trust in Optimus. Alpha Trion commented that Ironhide's "pitiless edge" gave the Autobots a necessary advantage in defeating Megatron.
"And that's the bottom line, 'cause Ironhide said so."
When Megatron invaded Teletraan-1 to steal the Plasma Energy Chamber, Ironhide made an uncharacteristically emotional display of anguish when Starscream's Seekers shot down Omega Supreme, who attempted to ferry the Chamber to safety. As Decepticons attempted to claim the Chamber, Ironhide fought one but fell into the crater caused by Omega's impact. He defeated two more who jumped after him, and Optimus lifted him out of the pit, but he fell in again when another Decepticon struck him in the face with a hooked chain. Megatron blasted Optimus, causing him to fall on top of Ironhide, but he ordered his commander to ignore him and stop Megatron. After the battle, Ratchet welded Ironhide's face back together. When Optimus proposed leaving Cybertron on the Ark , Ironhide boarded the Eight Track with him to distract the Decepticons. Realizing Megatron had a beam aboard Trypticon Station, Ironhide and the Autobots boarded the ship and blew up its Dark Energon Facility, causing it to crash. He then boarded the completed Ark and escaped Cybertron through the last space bridge to the Milky Way. Exodus

After passing through the unstable space bridge, Ironhide and the Autobots aboard the Ark found themselves in the vicinity of a Cybertronian colony world called Velocitron. Ironhide was assigned to Hound's second response team, as Optimus Prime made planetfall with his initial team. It was a time of great stress between Velocitron's rulers, and the Autobots' arrival from mythical Cybertron only exacerbated the situation. Although the Autobots secured an ally in one of the planet's rulers, Override, they left Velocitron on the brink of civil war during their departure. The next leg of their journey through the Space Bridge brought the Autobots to fabled Junkion, a world composed entirely of space junk. This time, Ironhide joined Optimus, Ratchet and Hound as they touched down on the planet's heterogeneous surface. The Autobot envoys were attacked shortly after landing, as the local Junkions decided they looked like spare parts in the making. With Optimus Prime's blessing, Ironhide unleashed a volley of plasma rockets to help convince the Junkions that these parts weren't for sale just yet. During the Autobots' stay on Junkion, Ironhide assisted Prowl with his investigations, and later interrogation, of the shifty Decepticon-turned-Junkion named Axer. He defended the Ark from attack when the Nemesis finally caught up with them, and remained with the crew when they finally left Junkion on a new heading towards the AllSpark itself. Exiles

Voice actor: Keith Szarabajka (English), more Ironhide led a squad of Autobots to defend the Decagon during the Decepticon invasion of Iacon. With the loss of Zeta Prime, Ironhide's old friend Optimus was forced to take command of the Autobots, an act that the old soldier approved, as he was glad that Optimus was finally stepping up to take his rightful place in the Autobot hierarchy. After helping Optimus and his team by clearing a path for them to the Decagon (and taking down two Brutes, tearing one in half), he continued to lead the others to (successfully) push the Decepticons into retreat. After Optimus became Optimus Prime, Ironhide and Warpath joined him on the mission to clear the core of Cybertron that was infected with Dark Energon. Ironhide constantly rebuked the young, aggressive Warpath's shoot-first attitude. Heading to the Omega Gate, the three Autobots found Omega Supreme being tortured with Dark Energon. Freeing the massive Autobot, Ironhide joined Optimus and Warpath in protecting Ratchet long enough to repair Omega to the open the Gate. Heading underground, the three Autobots found space slugs working to clear the Dark Energon crystals. When they were sealed off in a cavern, another slug came in and killed an attacking Decepticon, to which the old, knowledgeable Ironhide offered the universal greeting, but the slug simply ignored them and moved on with its task. The three Autobots then found a trio of slugs with Ion Displacer turrets on their backs, and provided cover fire for the slugs as they made their way through Cybertron. Unfortunately, a corrupted space slug attacked the trio, knocking them underground and killing

the slugs. Regrouping at the core, they were attacked by the corrupted slug, and managed to defeat it. Unfortunately, the Dark Energon corrupted the Core, which could only purge the corruption by shutting down all systems, leaving Cybertron uninhabitable and forcing the Transformers to leave Cybertron. Before departing, Ironhide and Warpath witnessed Optimus receive a part of the Core's essence, the Matrix of Leadership. As the evacuation went underway, Megatron used his orbital station to attacking fleeing transports. A group of Aerialbots under Silverbolt managed to shut down the station's cannon, only to learn that the station itself was a Cybertronian named Trypticon. Ironhide joined Optimus and Bumblebee in finishing off the monster. Though many Autobots managed to escape, a number of them, Ironhide included, stayed behind to fight against Megatron's schemes. Optimus commissioned the building of a new starship, the Ark , to take the Autobots from Cybertron, wherever they may go. Transformers: War for Cybertron

With Cybertron no longer capable of supporting life, the Autobots began to evacuate the planet in Arks, but were attacked by Trypticon Station. Optimus intended to take a strike team up the space bridge to directly assault it, which Ironhide regarded as a suicide mission. Still, he joined the mission, and the station was brought down, but as Bumblebee celebrated their escape, Ironhide pointed out the station was transforming. Trypticon's size gave even Ironhide pause, but he still joined the team that headed for the crash site to take the giant on. At one point, he was pinned down by enemy fire, which the other Autobots helped suppress so he could reach a security access panel. He joined them in defeating Trypticon, and later left Cybertron along with the rest of the Autobots. Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)

Ironhide (Deluxe, 9-29-2012) Japanese ID number: AM-20 Accessories: Arms Micron "Iro" Part of the seventh wave of TakaraTomy Prime toys, and so far exclusive to said toyline, Ironhide is a... well, he's kind-of a redeco of Prime Kup, whose mold was originally designed to be Ironhide, and was originally solicited as such in the Hasbro line. Yeah. He transforms into a modified Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, and much of his color detail is provided by customer-applied stickers rather than paint operations. He features peg-holes for 5mm posts on his forearms/doors, hands, and truck bed. Instead of the combining cannons he was originally designed with, he comes with the Arms Micron, Iro, who transforms into one of the cannons. Just one. Sorry.

He also has a "dramatic head reveal," wherein his head rises up from within his torso when his abdomen panel is slid up. He also features a fake kibble windshield on his chest, with the real front windshield ending up on his back. His stock photography incorrectly depicts him in a magenta-ish shade of red.
Notes
He greeted the space slug with the universal greeting. Warpath had no idea what it was. Ironhide was intended to be part of the initial line-up in Transformers: Prime, but he was replaced by Bulkhead after the writers deemed their characterization closer to him. Later, on a featurette on the Transformers: Prime Season 1 Blu-Ray, Rik Alvarez admitted that because of the death of Ironhide in Dark of the Moon, they didn't want to confuse kids with a living Ironhide. [1] It's likely that the former story was a cover for the latter, for spoiler reasons. Later, Jeff Kline said that despite having a toy, there were no plans to feature Ironhide in the show... yet.[2] It was even later said at BotCon 2012 that Ironhide would not appear in the show, but that he might show up in other places.[3] Ironhide's Prime design was based on concept art submitted by Ken Christiansen to Hasbro Studios early in the show's development.[4]
