'''Ironhide''' is the Autobot's resident weapons specialist and [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime's]] old friend. He is old because he is ''hard''. He's probably had enough replacement parts to build a small army, but Ironhide doggedly refuses to roll over and die for anyone. He'll fight to the bitter end and take down more than his fair share of [[Decepticon]]s in the process.

He has more guns than [[Carbombya|a smaller third-world country]].

After meeting [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]], Ironhide displayed an eagerness to show off his [[weapon]]s. Going to the Witwicky residence, Ironhide is urinated upon by [[mojo|a rodent]]. This unpleasant situation is made worse by [[Sam Witwicky]]'s refusal to let him shoot it. He is also not allowed to shoot the "annoying" [[Judy_Witwicky|parents]]. Prime wondered what was wrong with Ironhide, who simply muttered that it was "just an option."

He is, however, allowed to shoot the following:
*[[Brawl (Movie)|Brawl]].
*Megatron.
*Starscream.
*The ground.

Brief aside with Optimus Prime reveals Ironhide's actions may have resulted in the destruction of [[Cyber Five|a small planet]] at one point. Ironhide maintains that it was going to blow up anyway.

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 GMC Topkick four-wheel drive pickup truck. The two exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin have been shortened from the real scaled length and the prototype due to [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons, but otherwise the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real truck... well, aside from the fact Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automaticaly shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. The instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, confusingly.

:In robot mode, Ironhide is quite accurate to his CGI design, though obviously simplified for toy practicality. Contrary to appearances, he features full standard up-down and lateral shoulder articulation, as well as articulation in his elbows, hips and knees. His arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a '''huge''' functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.

==Trivia==
* In the initial draft of the movie, Ironhide was not present among the Autobot cast. However, due to fan input, he replaced female Autobot [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]] in later drafts and the subsequent final script.

* In the movie, both of Ironhide's guns have 10,000 parts each.

Jazz (Movie)

{{disambig2|the Autobot hipster from the live action movie|the original ''cool cat''|Jazz (G1)}}

:''Jazz is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Movie (franchise)|Movie]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MovieJazz_promorender.jpg|right|thumb|350px|"Slide with me, just bounce with me, now freeze."]]

First Lieutenant '''Jazz''' is one happy-go-lucky Autobot. Good-natured and always able to take things in his stride, he provides a decent contrast to the more serious demeanour of [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] or [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Prime]] himself. He's also a talker, something Ironhide and Prime like to tease him about. He might be the smallest Autobot but he's by no means a coward. His only real complaint is that he gets stuck fighting the small ones.

==Fiction==

===Ghosts Of Yesterday===
Onboard the Ark, Jazz was the first to detect the ''[[Ghost 1]]'s'' presence, and was later badly damaged in a fight with the Decepticons. After being repaired, he and [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] fought together against [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]].

===''Transformers'' (2007) film===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Darius McCrary]] (English)

{{spoiler}}

He had to...split. He gets trapped by Megatron (under his gigantic metallic feet) and has... words with Megatron, so Megatron sorta kinda rips him into multiple pieces. But no worries, according to some product detail about an upcoming deluxe class repaint of Jazz, [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] rebuilds him and gives him a [[G1]] like paint job. Then he probably disappears before the next movie.

==Toys==
===Transformers (2007)===
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)
:''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-04'''
[[Image:Jazzmovietoydeluxe.jpg|right|thumb|200px|"Just wait. They'll do me in G1 colors soon..."]]

:Jazz transforms into a silver [[wikipedia:Pontiac_Solstice|Pontiac Solstice]] Custom Hardtop. Included is a blaster weapon that elongates into a sniper rifle, which may also be clipped directly onto his rear spoiler when in vehicle mode. In robot mode, the section featuring this same rear spoiler may be kept folded onto his back or worn on either shoulder as a shield. An interesting undocumented feature is a hinge joint located on the bottom of the rifle can attach to the ''shield's'' hinge joint, creating three choice weapon configurations: ''(a)'' a mounted long range sniper rifle, ''(b)'' an ambidextrous shoulder-mounted canon, or ''(c)'' a short range blaster with built-in shield somewhat akin to what has been seen in Jazz's concept art and in the movie itself.

: As with most of the mainline toys, he features a [[Automorph]]ing gimmick that is activated by pushing the car roof down onto his back and locking it into place. This raises his head and slides his chest panels into proper position for the robot mode. This feature, like the weaponry mentioned above, is not documented at all, so one must be careful to not press the chest ''and'' the back at the same time.

*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Legends, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_Legends_Jazz_toy.jpg|left|thumb|180px|"WhY my BuMPers hURt?"]]

: A much smaller version of the character, Legends Jazz features limited articulation and detail, along with a much simpler transformation. A rather glaring side-effect of this transformation and a desire to mimic the hood chest of the larger toy is the addition of a second front bumper on the roof of his alt-mode. If this means Jazz also includes a second engine to go with this front bumper or an attempt at compensation for a case of [[Barricade (Movie)|police bar envy]] is unknown.

*'''Final Battle Jazz''' (Deluxe, 2007)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''MA-14'''

[[Image:Movie_FinalBattleJazz_toy.jpg|thumb|right|251px|"Owie...."]]

: An extensive retool of Jazz, modifying most of his legs to give them a broken, battle-scarred appearance. Amusingly, because Hasbro chose to keep his vehicle mode prestine, nearly the rest of his body is undamaged. The damaged parts and his head have a black and blue deco, representing exposed circuitry and glowing conduits.

: Jazz comes with a brand new spring-loaded gattling cannon weapon (called a quagma cannon on the packaging), modeled after the actual weapon the CGI model of Jazz appears with. It can fire a transparent blue projectile and like his original weapon, can be mounted in several configurations: ''(a)'' Mounted on his right arm with the gattling cannon/launcher facing forward as he appears in most promotional material, and ''(b)'' mounted on his left arm with the flip-out long rifle barrel pointed forwards.

: Unusually for a regular Deluxe figure, Jazz is packed in his card in robot mode, no doubt to highlight the changes to the figure that would not be visible in vehicle mode.

*'''Autobot Jazz (Repaint)''' (Deluxe, 2007)

[[Image:Movie_G1Jazz_toy.jpg|left|thumb|220px|"...''real'' soon."]]

: An extensive [[redeco]] of Deluxe class Jazz, this Target-[[exclusive]] has a colour and paint deco based heavily upon ''Generation 1'' [[Jazz (G1)|Jazz's]] Martini Racing scheme, though he is lacking in Martini sponsorship for obvious reasons, replacing them with his own name. Disco Jazz doesn't need to advertise really, but he does.

====Fast Action Battlers====
*'''Ion Blast Autobot Jazz''' (2007)

[[Image:Movie_FAB_Jazz.jpg|right|thumb|"What good am I again?"]]

:Smaller than his Deluxe toy and less articulated, this one has a missile in place of one hand. Who knew Jazz was a lefty?

====Titanium Series====
*'''Autobot Jazz''' (Robot Master, 2007)

==Trivia==
*The packaging text for the deluxe Jazz figure refers to his weapon as a "telescoping sword". As ridiculous as this sounds considering this weapon ''looks'' like a firearm, this very idea comes from sketches of a sword weapon featured on the same concept art that has Jazz showcasing the short range blaster/shield combination stated above. Way to compensate text-writing guy!
