Hey, look at that. I googled it and found nothing, because the giant fleshy flippers that an uncaring God gave me in place of normal human hands are incapable of utilizing a keyboard. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=Starkscream&meta=&aq=f&oq= --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 02:32, 16 December 2009 (EST)

:If you don't like the nickname because it's a shameful pun or because you don't think the similarities are ''that'' obvious, then fair enough -- but all I'm saying is that it's a nickname that's been used. [[User:MagFlare|MagFlare]] 02:44, 16 December 2009 (EST)
::Two guys (with one more agreeing)? That's hardly a sufficient percentage. Especially when it only came up when the first pictures surfaced and has gone unspoken in the last almost-two-years. --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 03:04, 16 December 2009 (EST)
:::Three guys who, apparently working independently, began using the same name, actually. But, hey, I'll stop pressing the point -- I didn't realize I was offending the Chief Arbiter of Fandom Nicknames over here, whose duty it is to strike down all in-jokes in order to preserve the TFWiki's meta-purity.

::::You weren't. But three guys in a giant fandom like Transformers? I can find more people who at some point called ROTF Demolishor "Mr. Wheels" and ROTF Sideswipe "Stabby McWheelfeet". I mean, three guys! Two of them on a TF board so below the radar it hasn't had any posts in a week! That's hardly a relevant sample. And again, the freaking nickname has gone unspoken in over a year. (also, you gotta love it when people losing an argument try for the hive-mind or the clique angle) --[[User:Detour|Detour]] 03:24, 16 December 2009 (EST)
::::: It could be worse. You could be dealing with the sort of person who, when confronted with a stonewall Wiki reverter, goes back and edits the reverter's words in the discussion page. ''And that would be terrible.''
:::::Srsly though, guy, you've won here. No further edits will be attempted. [[User:MagFlare|MagFlare]] 03:35, 16 December 2009 (EST)

Iron Man

MagFlare: References asked for = references provided. C'mon, guys. Don't kill the edit just because it's a terrible pun. Puns are NICE.

:''Iron Man is a [[human]] from the [[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]] [[continuity family]] and the [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] portion of the [[Crossovers]] franchise.''

[[Image:Ironman.jpg|right|250px|thumb|[[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] realizes pushing Iron Man down a flight of stairs requires a flight of stairs.]]
'''Iron Man''', aka '''Anthony Edward Stark''', appears to be the most sensible member of his species. While a normal, squishy human would be content to walk around vulnerable to attack, he has taken the surprisingly logical step of encasing himself in a metal suit carrying advanced weapons like a ''proper'' being (or, at least, the opposite of a [[Pretender]]).

He is not [[G.B. Blackrock]].

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 comics===
Iron Man, not content with being clad in a military-grade armored suit capable of tackling tanks and fighter jets head-on, created an ''even bigger'' suit to tackle [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] threats. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Two}} The new armor proved quite the energy guzzler, nearly expending all its reserves during a battle against some [[Decepticon]]s in [[Latveria]]. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Three}} It was then dangerously supercharged by an infusion from the internal reactors of the [[Autobot]]s, causing it to shut down. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] severed its head with a blast from his fusion cannon. {{storylink|Man and Machine, Part Four}}

===Marvel ''Crossovers'' toy bios===
Working with [[Mister Fantastic]], Iron Man used alien technology to build transforming [[Mech|battle suits]] for the most marketable of [[Earth]]'s [[:Category:Superheroes|heroes]]. Being a control freak, the one he built for himself has an override system allowing him to take control of the rest.<ref>Iron Man's ''Crossovers'' toy bio</ref>

*'''Iron Man''' (Marvel, 2008/2009)
**''Accessories:'' Two missiles
: The Marvel ''[[Crossovers]]'' Iron Man transforms into a fighter jet of madeup-make, bearing more than a passing resemblance to an [[Popular Earth vehicle alternate modes|F-22 Raptor]] with a [[For safety reasons|stubby nose cone]] and large/stretched wings, under-slung with non-firing missiles. Each wing is also equipped with a spring-loaded missile launcher, which can be mounted on the undersides of his robot-mode forearms.
: This mold was later redecoed in gray and black. Note that the toy pictures on the packaging have a different color scheme than the actual toy.
: The similarities between this toy and [[Starscream_(G1)|Starscream]] have led some members of fandom to nickname the toy "Starkscream."<ref>[http://thetfrealm.com/index.php?showtopic=195]</ref><ref>[http://henshinjustice.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23648]</ref>

*'''Spider-Man / Iron-Man''' (Marvel two-pack, 2009)
**''Accessories:''
:This Iron Man toy transforms into a "flying wing" style stealth bomber with two firing missiles under its wings. He comes packaged with [[Spider-Man]] (who transforms into a helicopter), and can combine with him in either mode to form a "giant super bomber" or a robot mode that mostly just looks like Spider-Man wearing an Iron Man plane hat.

==Notes==
* Iron Man is voiced by [[David Kaye]] in the cartoon ''[[wikipedia:Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes|Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes]]'' as a guest character. Voice acting is a small world, [[Megatron (BW)|yeesss]].
* Reprints of Iron Man stories were run as a back-up strip in early issues of the Marvel UK Transformers comics. Further reprints featuring the present day Iron Man appeared in issues #126-129 and #146-152. The Iron Man of 2020 also appeared in a crossover with [[Spider-Man]] reprinted in issues #119-125
