:''Ironhide is an [[Autobot]] in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

'''Ironhide''' is one of the oldest and toughest Autobots on Optimus Prime's team. "They don't make them like they used to" is an apt description of Ironhide -- he's yesterday's model, but he's built to last.

Gruff and ornery, he prefers actions to words, and dislikes talk for talk's sake. (He wouldn't enjoy being paired up with [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]].) But though he may be rough around the edges, he's still optimistic and upbeat. The upside to being through more than your share of trouble means trouble ain't so big a scare anymore.

Ironhide's most distinctive ability is the power to generate and shoot a liquid of virtually any type. Liquid nitrogen is historically a favorite, but there have been acids, mortar, and more.

Ironhide was part of the bridge crew of the [[Ark]] when it embarked on its fateful voyage to seek out new sources of energy beyond [[Cybertron]] four million years ago. It crashed on Earth, and all aboard were in stasis until 1984, when a volcanic eruption awakened the dormant Transformers. Ironhide was reformatted by [[Teletraan-1]] so that his alt-mode was a terrestrial Nissan van. In addition to his role in maintaining the security of the Autobot headquarters on Earth, Ironhide would embark on numerous missions to stop the Decepticons on their energy-raiding strikes around the planet. When the Decepticons churned the currents of the river blocked by Sherman Dam to raise its energy output, it resulted in high tides that threatened the surrounding neighborhoods. Ironhide, with the help of [[Bumblebee]] used his built-in laser cannon in van mode to cut a new series of tributaries for the raging river to flow into.

Later, when the Decepticons escaped being buried in the Burma ruby mines, a flustered Ironhide took to the air in pursuit. He even managed to score a rocket strike against Skywarp, which only earned him a similar strike in return. Ironhide crash-landed into a lake, where he suffered back-end damage to his linkages. The immobilized Ironhide was fished out of the lake by [[Bluestreak]] and [[Jazz]], and he recovered under the administrations of Doc [[Ratchet]].

In the year 2005, Ironhide was on a shuttle along with a group of other Autobots headed for earth when the shuttle was attacked by [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and a team of Decepticons. Ironhide bravely fought off the Decepticons, but was not powerful enough to stop the enemy, and he was mercilessly killed by Megatron.

Ironhide's body was evidently recovered for interment, as his grave was housed in the interstellar Autobot mausoleum. Along with the mausoleum itself, Ironhide's remains were later plunged into a red sun as a side-effect of a [[Quintesson]] plot.

===Dreamwave comics continuity===

===IDW comics continuity===

Ironhide is second-in-command (under Prowl) of a detachment of Autobots that has operated covertly on Earth for at least four years, attempting to foil a Decepticon insurgency. He is an experienced tactician whom Prowl consults for advice. Although more bound to the regulations than [[Ratchet_%28G1%29#IDW_Comics_continuity|Ratchet]], he's still willing to bend the chain of command for the right reasons, sending a pulsewave to Optimus Prime behind Prowl's back.

===''Timelines: Descent into Evil'' comic===
[[Image:Ratchetironhidedescent.jpg|right|thumb|Amazingly not dead.]]
Years after the Autobot-Decepticon Wars ended, Ratchet and five other Autobots were sent to [[Ceti Alpha Seven]] to destroy General [[Deathsaurus]]' [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticon]] clone lab and stop his planned Decepticon uprising. After a team of four (consisting of [[Outback|Fallback]], [[Chromia]], [[Flareup]], and [[Ricochet (Timelines)|Ricochet]]) failed, Ironhide and [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]] followed to help. After battling swarms of [[Virulent Clones]] and [[Buzzclaw (Timelines)|Buzzclaw]], they finally met up with Deathsaurus himself. Ironhide stayed to fight the general, and Ratchet separated to find their fallen friends, however, Ironhide was shot in the back by [[Flamewar]] and he went into stasis lock. Ironhide woke up restrained inside Deathsaurus' lab with Ratchet, while Deathsaurus appeared to them on a monitor and told them he planned to destroy the lab by remote. Before the lab could detonate, Ricochet snuck in and freed them, allowing them to gather their fallen and escape.

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Ironhide''' (1984/1991/2001)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''98'''
[[Image:Ironhide.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Sit on my face and tell me that you love me.]]

:Ironhide was part of the original assortment of [[Autobot]] cars released in 1984. His mold was originally used to create a ''[[Diaclone]]'' Nissan Onebox Cherry Vanette. The ''Diaclone'' line of toys were not meant to depict sentient robots, but rather human-controlled machines; the Ironhide and Ratchet-predecessor toys are the ones that most clearly show evidence of this. Rather than a head, these toy robots had chairs behind windscreens where the human rider would control the robot. When ported into the Transformer toyline, it was both the Ratchet and Ironhide figures that differed the most from their animated incarnations, as the cartoon versions did away with all traces of the human-controlled design to give the robots proper faces and heads.

: Ironhide was reissued in Europe as part of their Classics line in 1991, and released in Japan from [[e-Hobby]] in 2001.

===Generation 2===
* '''Ironhide''' (Go-bot, 1995)
[[Image:G2Gobot_Ironhide.jpg|right|thumb|130px|Not a Gateway.]]

: Part of the second wave of [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] focusing on G1 characters, Ironhide transforms into a silver Ford F150 Flareside pickup truck. Using through-axle contruction for his wheels, he is compatable with most "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" playsets and tracks.

: The mold was a [[redeco]] of ''Generation 2'' Go-Bots toy [[Motormouth]], and was later redecoed into the ''[[Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Spy Changer]] [[Ironhide (RiD)|Ironhide]], and the ''[[Universe]]'' Autobot [[Ironhide (Universe)|Ironhide]].

* '''Ironhide''' (Power Master, 1995)
[[Image:G2Powermaster_Ironhide.jpg|left|thumb|130px|Both robot mode and vehicle mode at once!]]

: ''[[Power Master (G2)|Power Master]]'' Ironhide was one of the last toys in the ''Generation 2'' line, and was only released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Oddly, the Australia and New Zealand releases were in US packaging, complete with [[Hasbro]]'s Rhode Island address.

: Ironhide (barely) transforms from a grey camoflaged Humvee into a dorky robot His main gimmick is his "Power Master" pull-back motor, which you use by pulling back on his motorized rear wheels, then placing one of his into one of the holes above the doors, which releases a catch and allows him to zip along a smooth surface.

===Timelines===
* '''Ironhide''' (''Descent into Evil'' boxset, BotCon 2005)
[[Image:TimelinesIronhide_toy.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Red, red, and also red.]]

: A [[Botcon 2005]] convention [[exclusive]], ''Timelines'' Ironhide was only available in the ''Descent into Evil'' boxset. He is a [[retool]] and redeco of ''Energon'' [[Towline (Energon)|Towline]], with a newly sculpted head resembling his G1 animation model. When not in vehicle mode, Ironhide splits into a robot mode and a battle sled. Like Towline, Ironhide can [[powerlinx]] with any other powerlinxable Deluxe or Mega from the [[Energon (toyline)|''Energon'' toyline]] or with his battle sled. He comes with a blue [[Energon weapon]].

: Ironhide's retooled mold was also used for ''Timelines'' [[Ratchet (G1)|Ratchet]].

==Notes==
*It has been speculated by some fans that, in animated continuity, Ironhide may have been created from Orion Pax's friend [[Dion]], the same way and at the same time Prime and [[Elita One]] were rebuilt by [[Alpha Trion]].
:''For further elaboration, see [[Dion#Who_is_Dion.3F|Who is Dion?]].''

161.32.228.104: /* G1 rebooted */

'''Idea and Design Works, LLC''' currently owns the [[Transformers]] comic book license as of May 2005, following the financial collapse of the previous license holder, [[Dreamwave]], at the tail-end of 2004. The flagship title is a rebooted [[Generation 1|G1]] continuity written by longtime Transformers scribe [[Simon Furman]], with art by [[E.J. Su]] (who's previously worked on [[G.I. Joe/Transformers Vol. 2]] for [[Devil's Due]]).

==Series published==
=== G1 rebooted ===

IDW's main ''Transformers'' comic line is overseen by Simon Furman, who has taken a fresh approach to Generation 1 continuity. All the familiar faces are present (although some have slightly different forms), but emphasis is given to character over action and as a result the details of the continuity are more sophisticated.

Instead of an ongoing civil war on Cybertron which spills over to Earth by accident, Furman presents us with an interstellar cold war between the Autobots and Decepticons, where Energon is the stakes and both sides disguise their actions from each other amongst each planet's native population until it's too late. However, a surprising development on Earth promises to heat up the war and turn our planet from just another proxy battleground into the ultimate prize...

*''[[Infiltration]]'' - Establishes the presence of the Transformers on modern-day Earth and re-establishes the theme of "robots in disguise" as central to the new continuity. A seven-issue story arc (issues #0 to #6).
*''[[Escalation]]'' - Sequel to ''Infiltration''. A six-issue story arc.
*''Devastation'' - Reportedly the sequel to ''Infiltration'' and ''Escalation''.
*''Revelation'' - Reportedly the sequel to ''Infiltration'', ''Escalation'', and ''Devastation.''
*''[[Stormbringer (comics)|Stormbringer]]'' - Companion four-issue mini-series tie-in to ''Infiltration,'' establishing Cybertron's current situation in the re-boot and focusing squarely on the Transformers.
*''[[New Avengers/Transformers]]'' - A collaboration between Marvel Comics and IDW featuring the first ever crossover between the Transformers and New Avengers. Though it will have minimal effects on the overall universe it is specifically designed to fit into continuity between Infiltration and Escalation
*''[[Megatron: Origins]]'' - Details the events surrounding Megatron's rise to power and the founding of the [[Decepticon]] faction.
*''[[Spotlight (comics)|Spotlight]]'' - Series of one-shot stories focusing on a single Transformer per issue.

===Beast Wars===
Taking place within the Beast Wars Cartoon universe this line eschews the previous [[3H]] fan club comics that previously continued the show's story to strike out in a new direction focusing mainly on the non-show toy characters.
*''[[The Gathering|Beast Wars: The Gathering]]'' - Marking the 10th anniversary of the [[Beast Wars]] franchise.
*''[[The Ascending|Beast Wars: The Ascending]]'' - A new Beast Wars story planned for release in August 2007.
*A Beast Wars profile series is also due August 2007.

===Evolutions===
A series of [[Wikipedia:Elseworlds|Elseworlds]]-like stories that exist in their own separate continuities, each taking different takes on Transformers.
*''[[Hearts of Steel]]'' - Places the Transformers in the American west during the Industrial Revolution.

===Other===
*''[[Generations (comic reprints)|Generations]]'' - Reprints old Marvel comics, specifically ones that did not feature Marvel-owned characters such as [[Circuit Breaker]].
*''[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]]'' - An adaptation of the original Transformers film, 1986's ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]''.

A Prime Problem was an episode of the second season of the original Transformers series. It features the first appearance of Powerglide and Warpath (only the former speaks).

Basically, the Decepticons find some corlonium crystals, which make anything electronic that they touch go kaboom unless insulated. Hoping to trick the Autobots into investigating the crystals, Megatron makes a remote-controlled clone of Optimus Prime. Naturally, the Autobots figure things out, the clone goes kaboom, and the Decepticons run away.

That's it in a nutshell.<div id="wikia-credits"><br /><br /><small>From [http://transformers.wikia.com Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki], a [http://www.wikia.com Wikia] wiki.</small></div>

Tim Hansen

161.32.228.104:

:''Tim Hansen is a [[human]] character in the [[Cybertron]] portion of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] continuity family.''

[[image:TinHansen01.jpg|thumb|right|175px|Tim. Tim. I'm Batman.]]

'''Tim Hansen''' is the older brother of [[Bud Hansen]] and [[Coby Hansen]]. He's... um... did we mention that he's Bud and Coby's older brother? We did? Oh.

Hmmm.

Yeah, that's all we got. That, and his nameless girlfriend.

==Fiction==
===''Cybertron'' cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Terry Klassen]] (English), ??? (Japanese)

Tim was accidently run off the road by [[Hot Shot (Armada)|Hot Shot]] and [[Landmine (Energon)|Landmine]], wrecking his Mini motorcar. Quickly activating their holographic avatars, Hot Shot and Landmine told the distraught Tim that they were friends of his brothers and promised to look for them. They then drove off, leaving Tim stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Going by the "snapshot" shown at the end of the show, he may be married and have a daughter. Or he is simply standing next to a woman and a small girl for no reason.
