:''Octopunch is a heroic [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]] [[continuity family]].''
[[Image:Invasion-Octopunchluck.jpg|right|thumb|250px|He wasn't even supposed to be here today.]]

Those who know '''Octopunch''' like to call him an ordinary, everyday Decepticon. Which is pretty weird, since he's nothing like the rest of them! Unlike his peers, Octopunch has no psychological hangups or weird quirks. He's just a guy, you know? He doesn't even understand why everyone likes fighting so much; he's got no love for war. For him, the war's just a job, and like any other job, he wants to do it well.

Octopunch is covered in experimental [[rheanimum]] rust-proofing, which was intended to help him in his underwater missions, but also had the side effect of making him impervious to any nanotech invasions. In other words, when there's [[Junkion (SG)|Junkion]]s on the docket, the Decepticons make sure he's on the roster. Octopunch also carries two positron-torpedo launchers.

==Fiction==
===''Shattered Glass''===
When the Decepticons were tipped off by Optimus Prime that Ultra Magnus had escaped his prison on [[Paradron]], Octopunch joined [[Treadshot (SG)|Treadshot]]'s team to hunt him down. They traveled through a portal to a strange parallel universe where they encountered Magnus and his army battling their destination universe's heroic Autobots. Here Magnus was after this universe's [[Rarified Energon]] so that he could open up a hole in space time to bring its Earth to his Cybertron, destroying them both. But when Octopunch and the Decepticons appeared, Magnus used his stolen [[Terminus Blade]] to stage an escape.

[[Image:Invasion-OctopunchvsOctopunch.jpg|left|thumb|300px|Ever travel to another universe and discover that you're ugly over there?]]

The heroic Autobots and heroic Decepticons joined forces and fought back the insidious [[Junkion (SG)|Junkion]] hive, while Octopunch and a heroic [[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] scoped out the evil Autobot's machinery below. Here the pair encountered two evil Decepticons. Scoop was able to disable [[Skullgrin]], but Octopunch was more evenly matched against the other. Suddenly, Octopunch stumbled upon the realization that his opponent was his alternate universe counterpart, and while the evil Octopunch was momentarily confused, the heroic Octopunch dealt a finishing blow.

After surveying the equipment underground, Octopunch realized that the forcefield guarding it was impenetrable, and he relayed that information to [[Sir Soundwave]] aboveground. Ultimately, Soundwave was able to expand the forcefield surrounding the underground equipment to cover the entire Earth. Octopunch and the heroic Decepticons believed this had averted the crisis, but Magnus scoffed. He wanted to destroy this Earth, yes, but he'd also set in motion the destruction of its entire universe! As Earth was pulled into orbit over their universe's Cybertron, the Earth's entire former dimension was destroyed.

Magnus declared victory and retreated. Octopunch listened as [[Straxus (SG)|Straxus]] recited an uplifting passage. {{storylink|Invasion (issue)|Invasion}}

*'''Spinister/Shattered Glass Octopunch''' (BotCon 2012 souvenir add-on)
**''Accessories:'' 2 "torpedo launchers", 2 [[missile|"torpedo" projectiles]]

:A [[redeco]] of [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|''Transformers'']] [[Sea Spray]], Octopunch transforms into a transport hovercraft with rolling wheels underneath. The rear deck (featuring a fold-down ramp) can carry most [[size class|Scout]] class vehicles. Octopunch's turbofans can rotate and tilt at several angles, and feature little fans inside that can spin (only by manual manipulation, as there is no gimmick mechanism linked to them). Octopunch's torpedo launchers attach on the sides of his air cushion skirt.

:In robot mode, Octopunch's design resembles that of a scuba diver, with a breather mask and "goggles" on his head, details resembling scuba air tanks (actually part of his vehicle mode air cushion) on his back and fold-out flippers on his feet. His torpedo launchers, using [[5mm post]]s, can be left attached to the underside of his arms as they were in vehicle mode, or placed in his hands. As with other toys from the 2010 line, Octopunch has [[C joint]]s, and in this case, it's the silver ladder rungs on his shoulders.

: Octopunch was sold with [[Spinister (G1)|Spinister]] and limited to 1500 total sets. His mold was also used to make [[Deep Dive]].

Ironhide (WFC)

2012-02-17T14:25:26Z

216.12.1.222: /* Prime */

{{faction|autobot|hofsilver}}
{{disambig3|Ironhide}}
:''Ironhide is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Aligned continuity family]].''

[[Image:IronhideWFCArt.jpg|right|thumb|250px|"And that's the bottom line, 'cause Ironhide said so."]]

'''Ironhide''' is a battle hardened veteran, one of the toughest amongst the Autobots. As one of [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus']] oldest and closest friends, Ironhide saw the great potential within Optimus to be more than what he allowed himself to be.
{{quote|Always happy to get more ammo.|Ironhide|''[[Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron]]''}}

==Fiction==
===Aligned novels===
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 (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] commented that Ironhide's "pitiless edge" gave the Autobots a necessary advantage in defeating [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]].

When Megatron invaded [[Teletraan-1]] to steal the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]], Ironhide made an uncharacteristically emotional display of anguish when [[Starscream (Prime)|Starscream's]] Seekers shot down [[Omega Supreme (WFC)|Omega Supreme]], who attempted to ferry the Chamber to safety. As [[Decepticon]]s 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 (Prime)|Ratchet]] welded Ironhide's face back together. When Optimus proposed leaving Cybertron on the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'', Ironhide boarded the ''[[Eight Track (WFC)|Eight Track]]'' with him to distract the Decepticons. Realizing Megatron had a beam aboard [[Trypticon (WFC)|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]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|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 (Prime)|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 (planet)|Junkion]], a world composed entirely of space junk. This time, Ironhide joined Optimus, [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] and [[Makeshift (Prime)|Hound]] as they touched down on the planet's heterogenous 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 (Prime)|Prowl]] with his investigations, and later interrogation, of the shifty Decepticon-turned-Junkion named [[Axer (Prime)|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. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

==Games==
===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Keith Szarabajka]] (English), [[Pietro Ubaldi]] (Italian)

Ironhide led a squad of Autobots to defend the [[Decagon]] during the [[Decepticon]] invasion of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. With the loss of [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|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 [[Brute (WFC)|Brute]]s, tearing one in half), he continued to lead the others to (successfully) push the Decepticons into retreat.

After Optimus became Optimus [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], Ironhide and [[Warpath (WFC)|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 (WFC)|Omega Supreme]] being tortured with Dark Energon. Freeing the massive Autobot, Ironhide joined Optimus and Warpath in protecting [[Ratchet (Prime)|Ratchet]] long enough to repair Omega to the open the Gate. Heading underground, the three Autobots found [[space slug]]s 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 [[Primus|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 [[Aerialbot (WFC)|Aerialbots]] under [[Silverbolt (WFC)|Silverbolt]] managed to shut down the station's cannon, only to learn that the station itself was a Cybertronian named [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon]]. Ironhide joined Optimus and [[Bumblebee (Prime)|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 (WFC)|Ark]]'', to take the Autobots from Cybertron, [[Earth|wherever they may go]]. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

===''Transformers: War for Cybertron'' (DS)===
:''Voice actor:'' Keith Szarabajka (English)
[[Image:WFCDS Ironhide.jpg|thumb|right|120px]]
When the Decepticons started sniffing around an Autobot base, Ironhide sent an [[Autobot rookie]] to find out what they were looking for. Unfortunately, the rookie was killed by Megatron while letting Ironhide know he'd gotten the data links back up and running. Ironhide was captured by the Decepticons at some point and used in Kaon prison to fight Dark Energon-enhanced Decepticons, but presumably later escaped.

Sometime later, Ironhide was contacted by Zeta Prime, who was trying to get hold of Optimus. With the loss of the communications system, Ironhide sent Bumblebee to find Optimus, and a rookie to help Ratchet and [[Air Raid (WFC)|Air Raid]]. Once the rookie had gotten the communication system up and running, Ironhide let him know that he was being reassigned to [[Kup (WFC)|Kup]]'s care. Ironhide then directed Optimus around the base, guiding him to areas the Decepticons had taken over.

Optimus announced they needed to retake Iacon, and Ironhide eagerly told him to lead the way, to which Optimus replied that he was no leader. Despite that, the Autobots retook the Decagon, and Ironhide reported that the defenses were back online. When Ironhide rebuked Bumblebee's suggestion that Zeta Prime's transmissions were leading them into a trap, Bumblebee exploded at him that they'd already lost the war. Optimus's team infiltrated Kaon, where Ironhide was more keen to bash Decepticons than rescue Zeta Prime, until Optimus reminded him of their mission. They found Zeta Prime, but their leader died, and Optimus was subsequently appointed Autobot leader. Optimus sought the services of [[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]], whose slow processor and reluctance to help irritated Ironhide, almost leading to a fight between the two of them and forcing Optimus to tell him to stand down. The Autobots rescued [[Swoop (WFC)|Swoop]], which helped sway Grimlock in favor of their cause, though Ironhide still wasn't sure it was a good idea. He took part in a mission to the core, to free it from the Dark Energon harvesters that were irradiating it.

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. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (DS)}}

===''Transformers: Cybertron Adventures''===
Ironhide and Bumblebee were tasked with retrieving information from a Decepticon datacore about the "Trypticon" weapon. They nearly managed to make a successful getaway from Kaon before Megatron and Soundwave arrived, dropping the Autobots in the streets. Ironhide was shackled and imprisoned, whie Bumblebee was scheduled for interrogation under the neural scanner. A lucky power outage during an Autobot raid freed Ironhide from his bonds, and he raced through the detention facility to rescue Bumblebee before the scanner forced him to reveal military secrets. He found the kid, but not before some data was lost to the scanner. On the way out of the prison, the duo were radioed by Air Raid, who offered to provide air support during their escape. Thanks to his creative use of firepower, they were able to escape down a road that had previously been a dead end.

Later, Ironhide returned the favour by providing comm support to Air Raid, who was using the data recovered on Trypticon to block the power supply running between Trypticon and the Geosynchronous Energy Bridge. He plotted Air Raid's course through the Decepticon controlled tunnels near the Bridge.

After Trypticon Station fell to Cybertron's surface and revealed itself as a gi-normous transforming creature, Ironhide joined Optimus Prime and Bumblebee in racing to the crash site to finish him off. They were separated during the journey, and had to fight through multiple Decepticon vanguards before even reaching Trypticon. Eventually, it was the combined firepower and teamwork of the Autobot forces that brought down the dangerous dinosaur. Ironhide was ready to kick back with some lubricant, but Optimus reminded him that the war was far from over. {{storylink|Transformers: Cybertron Adventures}}
