He proved impervious to their firepower, and seemingly eliminated them all with a foldspace warhead, with Megatron commenting they were lost in space. In the story Lost in Space 3: Ironhide" Ironhide was captured by aliens who were looking for the Allspark. In order to resist the alien mind probe Ironhide remembered a time when he was commanded the Autobots Skyblast , Signal Flare , Strongarm , Bumper and Slipstream against a Decepticon outpost.
Discovering the outpost was mostly automated with only one Decepticon, Swindle, the Autobots learned that looks are often deceiving. Ironhide then determined that his alien captors may not be as powerful as they appeared, overcame them, and learned they were merely scavengers who found the ship they used to captures him. He also found a device designed to track the Allspark they had be using. In a later issue, set after the events of the film Ironhide aids the human military in hunting Scorponok.
Although they believe the stolen code they used got them inside safely, once there they are ambushed by Bonecrusher, who says that the code didn't work and he let them in so he could fight them. In part 4 Ratchet and Ironhide continued fighting Bonecrusher in Savannah, but didn't stand much of a chance until they were joined by Arcee, Armoride and Longarm, arriving from the moon.
In this story he is among the Autobots that go to Cybertron. Ironhide appeared in the prequel novel Transformers: Ghosts of Yesterday. His character is a veteran and longtime friend of Optimus Prime.
He is part of Prime's Autobot team searching for the Allspark, and voices the most displeasure at Prime's plan to communicate with the human vessel Ghost With Prime and Bumblebee on the surface, Ironhide and Jazz battle the Decepticons, but Ironhide is put to flight by Starscream 's return, only being saved by Ratchet's volley of fire from the Ark.
In the final battle, he fights Bonecrusher , delaying him long enough for Prime to get a bead on Starscream, but is unable to stop Starscream from destroying Ghost Arriving on Earth at the same time as Optimus Prime, in a pool, to which a young girl asks him if he's the tooth fairy Jazz and Ratchet. Ironhide quickly sneaks away to a driveway, scans a family's GMC Topkick pickup truck and reconfigures his alternate mode to a new camouflaged form before meeting up with the other Autobots at Bumblebee's location.
The Autobots then return to Sam's house and retrieve the glasses containing the location of the Allspark whilst attempting to hide from Sam's parents, which results in his mother's and father's prized gardens being destroyed by Prime's massive feet and Ratchet cutting off the neighborhood's power after accidentally colliding with an electric transformer.
At one point, he becomes so frustrated that he asks Optimus if he can "take them out". He then gets a stern scolding from Optimus, who is frustrated at Ironhide's overuse of cannons. Unfortunately, that same evening a secret government organization, Sector 7, arrests Sam Witwicky, Mikaela Banes, and captures Bumblebee. Ironhide appears somewhat 'trigger-happy' throughout the film, and often pulls out his arm-cannons when he wishes to show off to new people, such as when he is first introduced to Sam, he draws his cannons out, and makes a classic Clint Eastwood impression, quoting " You feeling lucky, punk?
Optimus Prime , at one point, gets so annoyed with Ironhide's trigger finger that he right out asks " What is with you?! He is also shown to be slightly contemptuous towards the humans; he questions Prime as to why they should protect the human race, describing them as "primitive" and "violent", only to be reminded that the Autobots were not so different from them once. Ironhide is, despite being easily the bulkiest of the Autobots, a tough warrior endowed with surprising agility, shown in the final battle when he transforms, flips forward, and dodges Brawl 's missiles while doing a helix twist at the same time.
He was also able to maneuver through the city, and flip over a nearby human without injuring her, rocket jumping over her right after transforming. Ironhide plays a large role in the final battle: when Bumblebee is unable to fight, he provides cover despite being outnumbered three to one. He battles Brawl alongside Jazz and Ratchet in the movie, and engages in a battle with Starscream , with the aid of Ratchet. However, damage sustained in the brief brawl with Starscream leaves both him and Ratchet unable to further protect Sam.
After the battle is over, Ironhide brings the remains of his destroyed autobot brother Jazz to Optimus Prime. Ironhide then gives Captain William Lennox a ride home, and is seen alongside Ratchet, Bumblebee, and Optimus watching the sunset or watching Sam kiss Mikaela at the end of the film.
He chased after the giant Decepticon Demolishor and helped in taking him off-balance, and is then seen alongside Optimus Prime when they execute Demolishor, calling him a "'punk-as Decepticon'". Later on, Ironhide is with the Autobots helping Sam escape the forest from Megatron. Still later, he is angered by the arrival of military vehicles to threaten to Autobots, and he and the others are deported by the U.
He goes to Egypt, and leads a team to search for Sam along with the Arcee sisters in the village ruins. After locating him he tells Sam to head for the others while he holds back some attacking Decepticons.
When the U. Ironhide first appears when he warns Director Mearing that Optimus is in a bad mood after learning of the discovery of the Ark. Here he also receives a weapons upgrade from Que. He is present when Optimus revives Sentinel Prime with the Matrix of Leadership, and appears late in battle when the Autobots escorting Sentinel are attacked by the Dreads.
He easily overpowers and defeats Crankcase and Crowbar, with assistance from Sideswipe. When Sentinel reveals that he has made a deal with Megatron, he shoots Ironhide in the back twice with his cosmic rust-cannon, before delivering the fatal shot to the chest. Ironhide is shown fighting his rival Bludgeon , and also runs into Mindwiperight.
In the video game, a conversation between Ironhide and Optimus Prime reveals that Ironhide was, at least partially, responsible for the destruction of a planet - or a moon - named "Kaiba-5". However, Ironhide responds by claiming, " Awww, that hunk of rock was gonna blow up anyway. In the Decepticons storyline, he is killed by Blackout.
Ironhide is among the playable characters in the Revenge of the Fallen video game by Activision. In Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Ironhide Is able to play in more missions due to the character select feature. All toys of this character are officially licensed from General Motors. A new Ironhide has appeared in the Transformers Animated series. Much like the Generation 1 character named Ironhide, he appears to be a recolored version of Ratchet.
Due to Cartoon Network online game mistakenly labeling him as a Decepticon, it was speculated that he was the Autobot traitor mentioned by Megatron however, it was later revealed that Longarm was the traitor. During the flashbacks in the Transformers Animated episode "Autoboot Camp", Ironhide earned his name from his ability to transmutate his body into a nearly-impenetrable metal similar to the Marvel Comics character Colossus , and was good friends with Wasp.
This version of Ironhide is much younger and more mischievous than his Generation 1 incarnation. It should be noted that in the Japanese translation of Animated , as Bulkhead is given the name Ironhide, this character is known as Armorhide in the Japanese version. Ironhide first appeared in the episode "Mission Accomplished. Before he could reveal all the details however, his transmission was cut short. Ironhide briefly reappeared in the season 3 episode, "Transwarped," where he was a member of Rodimus Minor 's team, who were trying to protect a Space Bridge from Strika 's Team Chaar.
Unfortunately, they got tripped up by Oil Slick and slashed at by Cyclonus. Ironhide, again, briefly appeared at the end of "Where is thy Sting? Ironhide was trying to apprehend him when he found a seriously mutilated Ultra Magnus. He asked him first where his hammer was and then asked what happened. All Ultra Magnus could say was " Shockwave ". Ironhide's biography was printed in issue 24 of the Transformers Collectors Club magazine. He is depicted as a likable, fun-loving young Autobot, whose jokes tend to get a little crude.
An evil mirror universe version of Ironhide appeared in the Shattered Glass universe. This version of Ironhide works for the evil Optimus Prime. While no toy for this version of Ironhide was ever made, he is designed to look like the Deluxe Universe toy in the original Diaclone color of black. Appears in the novel Transformers: Exodus , and its sequel Transformers: Exiles.
Will appear in the upcoming novel Transformers: Retribution. Ironhide is a playable character in the video game Transformers: War for Cybertron. He next appears alongside Optimus and Warpath in their attempt to free Omega Supreme and clear Cybertron's core of Dark Energon during which he expresses his disdain for Warpath's overly triggerhappy personality. He is seen in the new trailer Transformers: Fall Of Cybertron punching Starscream in the face when he tries to sneak up on Prime and Bumblebee.
Alittle later, he is seen standing on a high peak with Jazz and Optimus Prime watching the battle below. Ironhide was originally supposed to appear in the role that was later given to Bulkhead. Jeff Kline later stated in a bonus feature on the Darkness Rising DVD that because of the death of Ironhide in Dark of the Moon , the producers didn't want to confuse the kids with a living Ironhide.
Concept art of what Ironhide would've looked like had he appeared on the show was later released over the internet. Despite this, it was later said at BotCon that Ironhide would not appear in the show, but that he might show up in other places. A figure released in the smaller Cyberverse-scale toyline, with translucent blue arm cannons, and intended to interact with the Cyberverse playsets.

It is a world of high technology, ancient history, and a battle that has spanned the entire galaxy and millions of years. Optimus Prime, leader of the heroic Autobots, battles the tyrant Megatron and his evil Deceptions for the fate of freedom across the universe.
There's a Transformers figure for every kid or collector. Ironhide and Jazz backed up Optimus when the Decepticons sprang an attack on them, though Ironhide was growing increasingly uncomfortable with the passive tactics they were employing. He and Jazz ejected Bonecrusher from the Ark s hangar. After the fight, Optimus departed to help Bumblebee, and left Ironhide in charge. During a subsequent Decepticon attack, Ironhide and Jazz employed a new plan wherein Jazz distracted the foe, and Ironhide attempted to approach the Nemesis from a sensor blind-spot.
The plan might have succeeded had Starscream not chosen that moment to return from the nearby planet. Jazz was badly damaged as a result, and Ironhide had to work with Ratchet to return them both safely to the Ark. The return of Optimus and Bumblebee meant another battle, and Ironhide was matched up against Bonecrusher. He managed to avoid getting hit for the most part, though he did suffer some damage to his armor.
Following the Decepticon retreat, and Optimus's news that Megatron and possibly the AllSpark were located on Earth, Ironhide opined that Starscream would be reluctant to go there because he wanted Megatron to stay lost. In the immediate aftermath of the battle in Mission City, Ironhide accompanied Captain Lennox and his soldiers, hunting for creatures created by the AllSpark energies.
They had already destroyed three of the creatures when another one fled into a red minivan, which Lennox's men peppered with small arms fire. Ironhide decided to show them what real firepower was and blew up the van with one shot.
As the Autobots prepared to move out and flee the approaching Sector Seven and government forces, Ironhide placed Jazz's remains into a trailer Sergeant Epps had found, and together the soldiers had a moment of silence for their fallen comrade.
A month later, after he was approached by Agent Simmons, Lennox requested the Autobots help escort the human convoy transporting the remains of the fallen Decepticons. However, the Autobots had been shadowed on their way to the meeting place by a police car, whom both Lennox and Ironhide guessed was Barricade.
Ironhide and the other Autobots arrived at Sector Seven's secret Nevada desert installation to participate in the convoy that would transport the Decepticon bodies to San Francisco. He disagreed with Optimus Prime's decision to leave the AllSpark fragment in the custody of Sector Seven while they were away, but nevertheless respected his commander's decision.
On the freeway, Optimus Prime had a change of heart and sent Ironhide and Bumblebee back to retrieve the AllSpark fragment. Unfortunately, Ironhide, being the slower of the two Autobots, didn't reach the base until after Wreckage and Starscream had caused significant death and destruction.
During the cleanup, he could be seen comforting the injured Bumblebee. Amidst the scene of devastation at Sector Seven's Nevada base, Ironhide praised Bumblebee for his courage in attempting to defend the humans, but Bumblebee regretted that he could not save them all. After Jazz's burial two weeks later, Optimus Prime accepted a proposal from Captain Lennox that the humans and the Autobots form a special unit tasked with defending their mutual home. The Autobots began training with their human allies on the island of Diego Garcia, however, the lack of coordination meant even Bumblebee showed up the humans.
Ironhide opined that Bumblebee's shot was "awesome". Regardless of some teething issues, the team rolled out when the Decepticon Swindle was spotted in San Francisco. On the plane trip to the city, Ironhide commented on the likelihood of Swindle and Dead End putting up a fight, and how he hated flying. On the safe, stable ground, Lennox gave orders, Ratchet and Epps were assigned to team two, who would set the trap.
En route to the Decepticons, Ratchet and Ironhide bantered about how the former's vehicle mode was more suited to NEST's cover story of a chemical spill, while the latter asserted that he was the more stylish of the pair. After the Decepticons were disposed of, Major Lennox and Optimus Prime decided to send Bumblebee back to the United States to once again assume the role of Sam's guardian.
Ironhide reminded his little buddy to stay out of trouble, at least until the larger Autobot arrived to take over the protector role. Soon, more Decepticons were spotted on Earth, and Ironhide was deployed to Italy to deal with Fracture's team. Somewhere in the United States, Barricade managed to evade capture or destruction, forcing Ironhide to give Bumblebee warning.
He found that Sideswipe had changed little, and if anything had become even more of a loose cannon in his pursuit of Demolishor. Unable to reach his former trainee with words, Ironhide was reduced to performing damage control in the skirmish at Buenos Aires, Argentina. However, in the aftermath, Sideswipe saw the destruction he had wrought and the fear it engendered in the humans, begrudgingly admitting that Ironhide had been right all along.
On Earth, he and Optimus later used their old Polyhex tactics while dealing with a trio of Decepticons who attacked the Nevada Test and Training Range. Also he killed Tracer by shooting the Decepticon in the face. Afterwards, Ironhide wondered if the humans might give them medals, but Optimus revealed that the trio had been communicating with an unidentified third party.
Ironhide was annoyed when the humans later kept them out of the loop. Optimus and Ironhide later traveled to Hawthorne Army Depot, where Reverb had uncovered an ancient cache of weapons, including a personal force field. This made it difficult for Ironhide to use his guns on the Decepticon, and even trying to punch Reverb resulted in Ironhide being knocked backwards and being hit by Reverb's sonic cannon. He was too injured to do much for the rest of the battle, though a missile he later fired proved that Reverb's force field had failed.
He was back up to fighting strength a month later, and helped Hyperdynamix test their new prototype tank, though he almost lost the battle with it. When Decepticons later attacked Hyperdynamix, he, Optimus and Ratchet went to defend the location, but had trouble locating the Decepticons in question. The game of hide and seek ended for Ironhide when he was sent by helicopter to Battle Mountain to pick up Gears, Bumblebee and Kevin Bowman, who had left the base without permission.
To his disappointment, he arrived back at Hyperdynamix to find the three attacking Decepticons had already been finished off. Porter intended to wipe out the Decepticons, incoming meteoroids were detected.
Optimus, Ironhide and Ratchet and his team went to the crash site in Idaho, and found themselves having to fight the giant robot centipedes which came out of the meteoroids. Dubbing them "robo-pedes", Ironhide teamed up with Ratchet to take down two of them before they could reach a human town, and had to follow one into a lake to catch it.
Ironhide was part of the team that halted Alice's rampage after the Decepticon stole an RV. He didn't contribute much to the battle, possibly because subtlety was called for. He joined Sideswipe in stopping three Decepticons fleeing a site in Utah. He warned Sideswipe of the possible effects of hubris, and rammed Reverb.
When Dirt Boss seemed to surrender, Ironhide prevented Sideswipe from doing anything fatal to the Decepticon so they could have an interrogation, but Dirt Boss's surrender was merely to allow time for Soundwave to attack.
Ironhide was pounced on by Ravage and then shot at by Soundwave, but luckily Optimus chose that point to come to their rescue and Soundwave was captured. Ironhide began preparing an old nuclear shelter in Texas to house Soundwave, though he was sceptical that the Decepticon would reach it.
As it turned out, he was right, and Soundwave escaped en route. When he heard Galloway was under Decepticon attack, Ironhide put forward the opinion that the man was a "pain in the aft", but Optimus reminded him they should still help. Soundwave led the Autobots to the location of the Initiative base in California, but it was gone. Ironhide figured that it must have had something to do with the recent mysterious activities.
Soundwave's research relocated the base in Utah, so the Autobots drove there and attacked, only to find themselves facing brainwashed Transformers. He and Ratchet fought on, ramming a bunch of the foe in their vehicle modes. They felt the effects when Carter Newell attempted to destroy all Cybertronian life on the planet using the AllSpark constructed by the Initiative, however the battle turned in the Autobots' favor and they eventually triumphed.
That mega-bazooka of his has been with him since he was a proto-chip. During the war, Ironhide ran training missions for the younger Autobot recruits. These missions would often have the recruits thrown into the sharp end: one, involving Signal Flare, Strongarm and Skyblast, abruptly turned into a raid on a Decepticon base and rescuing a prisoner. He also developed skills at resisting psychic interrogation techniques. Even before the war began, Ironhide loved weapons. Nothing made him happier than travelling to some remote asteroid field where he could let loose and blast rocks to his spark's content.
