We're not really sure who '''DK-2 Guard''' is, but here you go.

:''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Generations Selects]]'' DK-2 Guard is a ''[[Transformers: Legacy|Legacy]]''-branded black and red [[redeco]] of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Ironhide]], who in turn is an extensive retooling of the ''[[War for Cybertron: Siege|Siege]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#War for Cybertron: Siege|Ironhide toy]]. DK-2 Guard transforms into a van similar to Ironhide's original Nissan mode. This toy features a roof piece that converts into a shield in robot mode and can also become a giant four-barreled cannon. For a little extra firepower, DK-2 Guard also comes with a smaller "blaster". Conveniently, this gun can be stored on the underside of the shield, tucking away neatly in van mode.

:Similarly to Ironhide, the figure's robot mode feet stick out conspicuously from the van mode's backside, but it is less obvious due to it being the same black color as the rest of the figure.

:DK-2 Guard was exclusive to [[Hasbro Pulse]] in the United States, Canada, and the UK.

==Notes==
[[File:G1toy protect black ironhide.jpg|thumb|Unfortunately not a guardian for ''Diddy's Kong Quest''.]]

* DK-2 Guard is based on the original [[1982]] ''[[Diaclone]]'' No. 2 Onebox Cherry Vanette toy that was colored red to become [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Toys|Ironhide]] when the mold was used in the first year of the original ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' toyline. This ''Diaclone'' coloration was eventually released in [[2008]] under the ''Transformers'' brand as an [[e-HOBBY]] exclusive for the ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' toyline. (Unlike Guard, this release was characterized as a variation of Ironhide, dubbed "[[Ironhide (G1)/toys#black|Ironhide Protect Black]]".) Guard's alphanumeric designation, "DK-2", is derived from the ID number of the ''[[Diakron]]'' release of the ''Diaclone'' toy. Fellow ''Generations Selects'' toy [[Breaker (G1)#Toys|DK-3 Breaker]] would follow a similar theme. (The "missing" DK-1 would have been a red [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#War_for_Cybertron:_Earthrise|Sunstreaker]], which had already been produced two years earlier as [[Spin-Out (G1)#Generations_Selects|Spin-Out]].)
* In case you are wondering, Guard's deco layout does not precisely match how ''Shattered Glass'' [[Ironhide (SG)|Ironhide]] was coloured in [[IDW Publishing]]'s 2021 [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (IDW)|comic series]], but all things considered, it is reasonably close.
