According to [[Bumblebee_(Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]], older autobots consider him a show-off, but he is bumblebee's favorite person to pull of reckless stunts with, and is always "Down for a friendly race to prove that he rules the roads" however, he will demand infinite rematches until he wins.

[[Image:Movie Legends Ironhide DesertBlackout.jpg|right|300px|thumb|''Don't miss'', Blackout, or Ironhide will wave his fist angrily while you fly out of range!]]
*'''Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)

: An all-new Ironhide tooling that packs considerable accuracy into his small, simple design. Unlike the Voyager class toy, Legends Ironhide stores his cannons in the truck's bed. He comes with a desert scheme redeco of Legends class [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]].

: Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is one of only two American toy releases that has full-length exhaust stacks. Also, due to it's ''simplified'' design, Ironhide's arms stick out from the back of his trunk, And his vehicle mode seems to suffer from somewhat awkward proportions.

====Voyager Class toys====
[[Image:Movie Voyager Ironhide toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|[[Guiltaur]] called, he wants his weapon back.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 {{w|GMC Topkick}} 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged [[Prototype|samples]] featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.

:In robot mode, 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.

:The soles of his feet/truck bed are completely smooth and featureless, hiding his feet in truck mode. Unfortunately, the smooth soles also mean that his feet have trouble gripping most surfaces. This, combined with his loose above-the-knee swivels, means that he has trouble standing up in all but the stiffest of poses. The peg that holds his windshield is also prone to cracking, which makes it become loose, and might even result in breakage.

*'''Offroad Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Motormouth]]. As he's now made of several colors of plastic, he's no longer the most monochromatic toy in the 2007 ''Movie'' line.

*'''Ironhide''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, painted in a gloss black finish, silver trim on his smokestacks, Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.

:In robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate with gold and gunmetal detailing colors which were missing from the first Voyager release. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.

*'''Cannon Blast Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile

:Part of the [[Fast Action Battlers]] line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.

**''Accessories:'' 1 missiles

:A redeco of the Fast Action Battler Ironhide, this version sports a silver and blue color scheme that is both a reversal of the "Offroad" Ironhide Voyager figure... and seemingly an [[homage]] to the [[:Image:G2Gobot_Ironhide.jpg|''Generation 2'' Go-Bots version]] of his ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)|counterpart]], a redeco of Motormouth (see above).

*'''Ironhide''' (Cyber Slammer, 2008)

:Cyber Slammers Ironhide is an amazingly cute GMC Topkick that transforms into an amazingly cute trigger happy weapons specialist. 'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode. Interestingly enough, this is the only pre-Revenge of the Fallen merchandise to feature Ironhide's scarred right eye.

*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher cannon, energy cannon, projectile

: ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is a retool and redeco of the toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie line, featuring a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a [[NEST]] logo on each of his doors, as well as having a more accurate, asymmetrical head.

: The original arm cannons have also been replaced by new, more accurate (and less [[Gimmick|gimmicky]]) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The large cannon features screwdriving firing action in which the barrel section twists forward before firing the missile. The small cannon can also retract its barrel and has a 5mm hole on its underside that allows it to plug into the peg on the large cannon like a scope if so desired. The smaller cannon can be swung down flush with the barrel of the larger cannon as well, evoking the giant missile launcher combo from the previous mold. The truck bed cover and arm mountings for Ironhide's cannons are unchanged from the 2007 version, so any voyager Ironhide can carry and use both the original and new weapons. Since the weapons can connect to each other, the figure (and all other uses of this mold) can hold these and the combined 2007 cannons at once. All four cannons can fit on his truck mode as well, the old ones underneath and the new ones on top.

: According to the box pictures and instructions, the small cannon is misassembled. The gray sliding shaft is actually reversed from the direction it is supposed to be facing. This doesn't affect anything, but can be easily fixed by loosening the screws on the black outer section, sliding out the shaft, then turning it around and putting it back in.

: A packaging variant determines whether the missile is loaded or unloaded in the box.

*'''Recon Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-26'''
**''Accessories:'' Assault rifle, mini-gun, knife A, knife B, bullbar/crossbow, cannon, spring-loaded cannon/crossbow, projectile

:Recon Ironhide is an extensive retool, replacing his doors with military Humvee-style armoured door panels, adding a roof/truck bed-mounted lighting rig/weapons rack and replacing his Road Armor fender with a massive bullbar that can be removed and combined with his spring-loaded cannon to form a crossbow weapon. Ironhide's traditional arm-mounted weapons have been replaced with the aforementioned spring-loaded cannon, a smaller static version of his right-arm mounted cannon, an assault rifle, a mini-gun, and two combat knives, one being short and serrated, the other being long and straight-edged.

:In one of the first intentional uses of the [[C joint]] system (if not ''the'' first), either knife can be attached to the front of the rifle to act as a bayonet, and the rifles and knives can be attached to his various bars and rails. The rifle and mini-gun can be pegged to the sides of his arm mounted cannons, and they can also peg into the main barrel of his static arm cannon.

:Think he's armed enough yet? Additionally, this retool of Ironhide includes a new head-sculpt featuring his battle mask.

:In response to the [[For safety reasons|breakage issues]] concerning the windshield peg, all of Ironhide's (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in softer and more flexible opaque plastic, compared to the more rigid translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.

:Robot Replicas Ironhide is, like the others of the line, made of a rubbery PVC and features much more articulation than the average deluxe or voyager class toy. The figure features light blue paint on the cannons giving them a charged up appearance. The elbow joints are positioned in a way that prevents the arm from straightening but the figure is still quite pose-able, however, getting it to stand in most poses is a different story.

*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Automated Rocket Turret

:A new-sculpt Deluxe-sized figure of Ironhide, with a surprisingly complex transformation and an almost ridiculously [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] (and surprisingly stable) robot mode. His smokestacks are of the long variety.

:The toy comes with a transforming weapon accessory, his missile turret from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video game]]. Sadly, this goes at the expense of a movie-accurate cannon for the left arm. The turret can stay attached to his arm when transforming back to his vehicle mode, thanks to a hard to notice joint on the other arm's cannon flipping open to allow more room, ensuring no chance of losing this accessory. In an undocumented feature, the turret can also attach to the back of Ironhide's vehicle mode by slotting two of its legs into two small holes on the truck bed, the third leg can them be positioned forward and slot into a groove on the back of the cab. This can be quite difficult, however, if (in another undocumented feature) you do not fully extend the turret's legs which are attached to a hinge which allows all 3 legs to fold down further than just pulling each one out individually; this allows for a greater range of movement and allows the turret to be aimed upwards. His hands can hold 5mm weapons, which means he can use Recon Ironhide's or MechTech weapons.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Autobot Alliance'' release of this figure features a significant colouring change: Where Hasbro's release cast much of Ironhide's legs, feet, hands, shoulders and some joints in light blue, TakaraTomy's uses dark grey plastic.

: ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Commander Ironhide is a brand new mold, being much better in proportions and being more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] than his previous Legends-class figure. Unfortunately, the toy's attempt to accurately replicate Ironhide's angled hood-chest in robot mode has resulted in a ''very'' unsightly gap on the center of the hood in vehicle mode.

: His articulation has also improved significantly, as he's almost as articulated as his Deluxe-class figure. His arms don't swing out far enough in robot mode, although his upper arms can rotate and his elbows can bend in quite well to easily compensate for this.

: He comes with two cannons that can attach to the sides or top of his Topkick mode. One of his cannons has a [[C joint]], allowing it to attach to the bed cover, and both cannons can combine into a larger weapon. In robot mode, he can attach his guns on the sides of his arms, his back, or hold them in his hands. The multi-barreled cannon features a free spinning barrel.

Ironhide is given a "Premium"-esque deco of his standard colors, with a matte-black finish and gold highlights. He's also something of the odd bot out of the set, with Crankcase and Barricade colored like MD Metro police, and Bumblebee given a damage deco on his front (to represent the damage done to one of the stunt cars playing Bumblebee when it collided with an actual DC police vehicle).

: With matching paint jobs (the dark grayish black and bronze are near perfect matches), it appears as if the APC was intended to go with Ironhide more so than Bumblebee.

**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA04'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon

:''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager Class Ironhide is an all-new mold that is smaller, but more accurate, than previous Voyager Class Ironhide toys.

:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] "Booster" that converts into a "Particle Cannon" by extending and spinning its barrels when the back is pressed. Twisting the knob at the back of the weapon when it is fully extended will lock it into place. The Booster/Particle Cannon (or any other MechTech weapon) can be attached to Ironhide via [[5mm post]] MechTech ports on his truck sides, vehicle roof/robot back, and in his fists, or they can be mounted onto MechTech ports and posts under his forearms in robot mode. Additionally, the Booster/Particle Cannon itself features a MechTech port on top of its housing. The cannons and weapons included with the previous Voyager Class Ironhide toys can also be used with this figure.

:He has an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmick on his vehicle front end/chest, wherein pushing it automatically deforms both halves of the front end into his chest, and pulling it reforms it back to the vehicle front end.

:This new mold also addresses the stability issues of previous Voyager Ironhides by giving his feet [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ankles and having the soles of his feet be more textured and rough, allowing it to stand up better. Unfortunately, the latter change results in unsightly gaps on the truck bed in vehicle mode. Oh well.

:His [[packaging]] [[stock photography|stock photo]] has him mis-transformed. The vehicle mode panel kibble on his left leg has not been pegged in, his feet are backwards, and the tailgate pieces, normally folded into the soles of his feet, are left flipped out and sticking out from the back.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

*'''Cannon Force Ironhide''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon
:Cannon Force Ironhide is a redeco of Dark of the Moon Voyager Class Ironhide in a [[Ironhide (G1)|G1-inspired]] color scheme, with most of his black parts being cast in orange-red. Specifically, the deco was based on [[Ken Christiansen]]'s ''[[Transformers: Prime (franchise)|Prime]]'' [[Ironhide (WFC)|Ironhide]] [http://badflipblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/transformers-prime-ironhidetoy.html concept art]. His deco consists of the upper half of his vehicle being cast in red and his lower half being painted a matte black, with an orange stripe running in-between. His MechTech weapon has been redecoed as well, with a cooler shade of gray for the housing, and black for the main cannon body.

====Leader Class toys====
[[Image:DOTM-Leader-Class-Ironhide.jpg|thumb|400px|He prefers his [[Mojo|rodents]] ''very'' well done.]]
*'''Ironhide''' (Mechtech Leader, 2011)
**''Japanese Name'':'''Ultimate Ironhide'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': '''[[2011]]-[[July 16|07-16]]'''
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''DA-16'''
**''Accessories:'' Knife, leg-mounted removable spring-loaded cannon, one projectile

:This version of Ironhide is his first [[Size class|Leader Class]] toy and features all sorts of weaponry and other [[gimmick]]s.

:His main gimmick is his chest-mounted Cybertronian Blitz Cannon, which is activated when either the license plate panel (used as a lever) on his abdomen is flipped and pushed down (similarly to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class Optimus Prime toy]]), or when a tall gray piece on the back-right of his head is pressed down. Two flaps on his abdomen open up, and a back-lit spinning cannon is deployed, lighting up his eyes as well as playing a rapid-fire shooting sound until the button is released, in which the cannon retracts back into his innards and a winding/powering-down sound is played.

:Ironhide's other lights and sounds gimmick is related to his head: when either the button on his chest or the lever on the back of his head are used, his [[mouthplate]] moves down, his eyes flash green and says the following the phrases, "Ironhide here" and "Weapons ready." (He is not voiced by [[Jess Harnell]], but by [[Lenny Panzica]].) He also features cannons mounted on his arms/roof that pop out and deploy when each respective smokestack is pulled, and can be used in either vehicle or robot mode. There is also a small button behind the cabin that emits a (rather vague) sound of the vehicle driving and firing its cannons/ramming through obstacles when it is pressed. If the button is held down further, additional driving and engine revving sounds are emitted.

:Lastly, Ironhide has two weapons hidden in each of his legs. Opening the side of his left leg reveals and pops up a removable knife, whereas opening his right leg deploys a detachable spring-loaded cannon, either of which he can wield.

:Interestingly, he is more or less at [[scale]] with the various [[Human Alliance]] toys.

:The international version replaces his first saying with a simple "Ironhide", and the second "Weapons ready" saying is replaced with a robotic stomping sound (which is a modified version of the "ramming through obstacles" vehicle-mode sound.) Some units have the spring pushed and compressed too far back into the launcher, preventing the projectile from even shooting out. This ''can'' be fixed, but pulling and stretching the small spring further out while it is in the launcher may be rather difficult. Early versions of this toy also have a glued neck joint which prevents the head from turning. A [[Variant#Running changes|running change variant]] later restored the neck [[articulation]] and enlarged the "Try me!" hole of the toy's [[packaging]]. Unfortunately, this later version suffered from particularly poor [[quality control]] concerning the silver [[paint operation]]s beside his headlights, as they tended to come scratched off in the box.

:The two of his hood halves also frequently detach from the ball joints they are mounted on during transformation, quite possibly [[for safety reasons]].

:Despite being advertised as a MechTech figure, Leader class Ironhide's gimmicks are almost entirely unrelated to the interchangeable, spring-loaded MechTech weapons seen on most of the other ''Dark of the Moon'' MechTech toys. Besides his fists, the only two 5mm post/MechTech ports on Ironhide are the ones on the hood halves above his shoulders, which can only be accessed in robot mode.

:His box mentions "Automatic conversion sounds", yet no such sound plays during transformation. Additionally, he is mis-transformed in his stock photography, as his vehicle front-end chest is not connected to his [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux-bumper]] grille, nor are the wheels angled into his chest.

:The Japanese release of the figure comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his arm cannons for the MechTech Wars online game, even though his arm cannons aren't actually MechTech weapons in the sense that they are removable weapons that can be given to other characters.

*'''Ironhide''' (Mechtech Leader, 2012)
**''Accessories:'' Knife, leg-mounted removable spring-loaded cannon, one projectile

:''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Ironhide is a redeco of ''Dark of the Moon'' Leader Class Ironhide sporting a new red, gray, and silver color scheme that [[homage]]s ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' Ironhide similar to the previously-released Cannon Force Ironhide toys. He features the unrestricted, articulated neck joint, but uses the international version of the soundchip.

:His packaging call-outs still mention the "Automatic conversion sounds" he doesn't have. Worse yet, his packaging [[stock photography|stock photos]], which depict a hand-painted [[prototype]], are simply a recolored version of his first Leader Class toy, retaining the mis-transformations, having ''numerous'' color and deco differences, and just generally being so sloppily edited that the robot and vehicle-mode photos are inconsistent with ''each other.'' Oh well...

:Ironhide was initially available at general retail in China and other Asian Hasbro markets in English-only ''Generations'' packaging as part of Hasbro's Global Development Organization ([[Transformers: Generations#Asian retail exclusives ("GDO")|"GDO"]]) line-up. He was later made available by Hasbro in Canada as a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusive... in [[multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/Chinese ''Dark of the Moon'' packaging with additional ''[[Movie Trilogy Series]]'' labels.

:''[[Studio Series]]'' "Autobot Ironhide" is a new Voyager Class mold transforming into a licensed GMC Heavy Duty Topkick 6500 4×4 Crew Cab Edition. He comes with two different arm cannons, which plug into his forearms via 5mm pegs. The two arm cannons can combine and plug into the back of the truck via small tabs. His truck hood parts come mistransformed in the packaging, and actually plug into an unnoticeable hole in between his chest, while the doors wrap around and tab into two struts on his back. A cool but undocumented feature is how his head peeks through the car window, homaging the G1 toy.

:Ironhide was first released in Singapore without any prior announcement by Hasbro.

:As reported at [http://web.archive.org/web/20070708214518/http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=121589 Edmunds], [http://www.monroetruck.com/index.asp Monroe Truck Equipment], in association with Hasbro, released a GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide special edition featuring most of the modifications made to the Ironhide vehicle props used in the movie, with the only difference being that the truck will retain its stock orange running lights (the movie used blue) and the large stock sideview mirrors.

:Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications. Production on the GMC Topkick truck ceased when General Motors exited the medium-duty truck market in 2009. Ironhide's death in the third film is certainly not connected to this, not at all.

*'''Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout''' (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)

: An all-new Ironhide tooling that packs considerable accuracy into his small, simple design. Unlike the Voyager class toy, Legends Ironhide stores his cannons in the truck's bed. He comes with a desert scheme redeco of Legends class [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]].

: Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is one of only two American toy releases that has full-length exhaust stacks. Also, due to it's ''simplified'' design, Ironhide's arms stick out from the back of his trunk, And his vehicle mode seems to suffer from somewhat awkward proportions.

*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2007)
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''MA-09'''
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Ironhide transforms into a modified black 2006 {{w|GMC Topkick}} 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged [[Prototype|samples]] featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for [[For safety reasons|safety]] and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.

:Ironhide features an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.

:In robot mode, 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.

:The soles of his feet/truck bed are completely smooth and featureless, hiding his feet in truck mode. Unfortunately, the smooth soles also mean that his feet have trouble gripping most surfaces. This, combined with his loose above-the-knee swivels, means that he has trouble standing up in all but the stiffest of poses. The peg that holds his windshield is also prone to cracking, which makes it become loose, and might even result in breakage.

*'''Offroad Ironhide''' (Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[Motormouth]]. As he's now made of several colors of plastic, he's no longer the most monochromatic toy in the 2007 ''Movie'' line.

*'''Ironhide''' ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2008)
**''Accessories:'' Left & right cannons, 4 missiles

:Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, painted in a gloss black finish, silver trim on his smokestacks, Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.

:In robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate with gold and gunmetal detailing colors which were missing from the first Voyager release. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.

*'''Cannon Blast Ironhide''' (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
**''Accessories:'' 1 missile

:Part of the [[Fast Action Battlers]] line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.

**''Accessories:'' 1 missiles

:A redeco of the Fast Action Battler Ironhide, this version sports a silver and blue color scheme that is both a reversal of the "Offroad" Ironhide Voyager figure... and seemingly an [[homage]] to the [[:Image:G2Gobot_Ironhide.jpg|''Generation 2'' Go-Bots version]] of his ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' [[Ironhide (G1)|counterpart]], a redeco of Motormouth (see above).

*'''Ironhide''' (Cyber Slammer, 2008)

:Cyber Slammers Ironhide is an amazingly cute GMC Topkick that transforms into an amazingly cute trigger happy weapons specialist. 'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode. Interestingly enough, this is the only pre-Revenge of the Fallen merchandise to feature Ironhide's scarred right eye.

*'''Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-02'''
**''Accessories:'' Missile launcher cannon, energy cannon, projectile

: ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' Voyager class Ironhide is a retool and redeco of the toy from the 2007 ''Transformers'' movie line, featuring a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a [[NEST]] logo on each of his doors, as well as having a more accurate, asymmetrical head.

: The original arm cannons have also been replaced by new, more accurate (and less [[Gimmick|gimmicky]]) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The large cannon features screwdriving firing action in which the barrel section twists forward before firing the missile. The small cannon can also retract its barrel and has a 5mm hole on its underside that allows it to plug into the peg on the large cannon like a scope if so desired. The smaller cannon can be swung down flush with the barrel of the larger cannon as well, evoking the giant missile launcher combo from the previous mold. The truck bed cover and arm mountings for Ironhide's cannons are unchanged from the 2007 version, so any voyager Ironhide can carry and use both the original and new weapons. Since the weapons can connect to each other, the figure (and all other uses of this mold) can hold these and the combined 2007 cannons at once. All four cannons can fit on his truck mode as well, the old ones underneath and the new ones on top.

: According to the box pictures and instructions, the small cannon is misassembled. The gray sliding shaft is actually reversed from the direction it is supposed to be facing. This doesn't affect anything, but can be easily fixed by loosening the screws on the black outer section, sliding out the shaft, then turning it around and putting it back in.

: A packaging variant determines whether the missile is loaded or unloaded in the box.

*'''Recon Ironhide''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''RA-26'''
**''Accessories:'' Assault rifle, mini-gun, knife A, knife B, bullbar/crossbow, cannon, spring-loaded cannon/crossbow, projectile

:Recon Ironhide is an extensive retool, replacing his doors with military Humvee-style armoured door panels, adding a roof/truck bed-mounted lighting rig/weapons rack and replacing his Road Armor fender with a massive bullbar that can be removed and combined with his spring-loaded cannon to form a crossbow weapon. Ironhide's traditional arm-mounted weapons have been replaced with the aforementioned spring-loaded cannon, a smaller static version of his right-arm mounted cannon, an assault rifle, a mini-gun, and two combat knives, one being short and serrated, the other being long and straight-edged.

:In one of the first intentional uses of the [[C joint]] system (if not ''the'' first), either knife can be attached to the front of the rifle to act as a bayonet, and the rifles and knives can be attached to his various bars and rails. The rifle and mini-gun can be pegged to the sides of his arm mounted cannons, and they can also peg into the main barrel of his static arm cannon.

:Think he's armed enough yet? Additionally, this retool of Ironhide includes a new head-sculpt featuring his battle mask.

:In response to the [[For safety reasons|breakage issues]] concerning the windshield peg, all of Ironhide's (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in softer and more flexible opaque plastic, compared to the more rigid translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.

:Robot Replicas Ironhide is, like the others of the line, made of a rubbery PVC and features much more articulation than the average deluxe or voyager class toy. The figure features light blue paint on the cannons giving them a charged up appearance. The elbow joints are positioned in a way that prevents the arm from straightening but the figure is still quite pose-able, however, getting it to stand in most poses is a different story.

*'''Ironhide''' (Deluxe, 2010)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''AA-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Automated Rocket Turret

:A new-sculpt Deluxe-sized figure of Ironhide, with a surprisingly complex transformation and an almost ridiculously [[show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] (and surprisingly stable) robot mode. His smokestacks are of the long variety.

:The toy comes with a transforming weapon accessory, his missile turret from the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)|''Revenge of the Fallen'' video game]]. Sadly, this goes at the expense of a movie-accurate cannon for the left arm. The turret can stay attached to his arm when transforming back to his vehicle mode, thanks to a hard to notice joint on the other arm's cannon flipping open to allow more room, ensuring no chance of losing this accessory. In an undocumented feature, the turret can also attach to the back of Ironhide's vehicle mode by slotting two of its legs into two small holes on the truck bed, the third leg can them be positioned forward and slot into a groove on the back of the cab. This can be quite difficult, however, if (in another undocumented feature) you do not fully extend the turret's legs which are attached to a hinge which allows all 3 legs to fold down further than just pulling each one out individually; this allows for a greater range of movement and allows the turret to be aimed upwards. His hands can hold 5mm weapons, which means he can use Recon Ironhide's or MechTech weapons.

:The [[TakaraTomy]] ''Autobot Alliance'' release of this figure features a significant colouring change: Where Hasbro's release cast much of Ironhide's legs, feet, hands, shoulders and some joints in light blue, TakaraTomy's uses dark grey plastic.

**''Accessories:'' 2 Cannons (combine into a large cannon)

: ''[[Cyberverse]]'' Commander Ironhide is a brand new mold, being much better in proportions and being more [[Show-accuracy|movie-accurate]] than his previous Legends-class figure. Unfortunately, the toy's attempt to accurately replicate Ironhide's angled hood-chest in robot mode has resulted in a ''very'' unsightly gap on the center of the hood in vehicle mode.

: His articulation has also improved significantly, as he's almost as articulated as his Deluxe-class figure. His arms don't swing out far enough in robot mode, although his upper arms can rotate and his elbows can bend in quite well to easily compensate for this.

: He comes with two cannons that can attach to the sides or top of his Topkick mode. One of his cannons has a [[C joint]], allowing it to attach to the bed cover, and both cannons can combine into a larger weapon. In robot mode, he can attach his guns on the sides of his arms, his back, or hold them in his hands. The multi-barreled cannon features a free spinning barrel.

Ironhide is given a "Premium"-esque deco of his standard colors, with a matte-black finish and gold highlights. He's also something of the odd bot out of the set, with Crankcase and Barricade colored like MD Metro police, and Bumblebee given a damage deco on his front (to represent the damage done to one of the stunt cars playing Bumblebee when it collided with an actual DC police vehicle).

:His packaging [[stock photography]] shows his legs as being cast in translucent plastic, when the final product has these cast in opaque gray plastic, possibly [[for safety reasons|for durability reasons]].

*'''Ironhide''' (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''DA04'''
**''Accessories:'' MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon

:''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Voyager Class Ironhide is an all-new mold that is smaller, but more accurate, than previous Voyager Class Ironhide toys.

:He comes with a large [[MechTech]] "Booster" that converts into a "Particle Cannon" by extending and spinning its barrels when the back is pressed. Twisting the knob at the back of the weapon when it is fully extended will lock it into place. The Booster/Particle Cannon (or any other MechTech weapon) can be attached to Ironhide via [[5mm post]] MechTech ports on his truck sides, vehicle roof/robot back, and in his fists, or they can be mounted onto MechTech ports and posts under his forearms in robot mode. Additionally, the Booster/Particle Cannon itself features a MechTech port on top of its housing. The cannons and weapons included with the previous Voyager Class Ironhide toys can also be used with this figure.

:He has an [[Automorph Technology|Automorph]] gimmick on his vehicle front end/chest, wherein pushing it automatically deforms both halves of the front end into his chest, and pulling it reforms it back to the vehicle front end.

:This new mold also addresses the stability issues of previous Voyager Ironhides by giving his feet [[Ball joint|ball-joint]]ed ankles and having the soles of his feet be more textured and rough, allowing it to stand up better. Unfortunately, the latter change results in unsightly gaps on the truck bed in vehicle mode. Oh well.

:His [[packaging]] [[stock photography|stock photo]] has him mis-transformed. The vehicle mode panel kibble on his left leg has not been pegged in, his feet are backwards, and the tailgate pieces, normally folded into the soles of his feet, are left flipped out and sticking out from the back.

:The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.

**''Japanese Release Date'': '''[[2011]]-[[July 16|07-16]]'''
**''Japanese ID Number:'' '''DA-16'''
**''Accessories:'' Knife, leg-mounted removable spring-loaded cannon, one projectile

:This version of Ironhide is his first [[Size class|Leader Class]] toy and features all sorts of weaponry and other [[gimmick]]s.

:His main gimmick is his chest-mounted Cybertronian Blitz Cannon, which is activated when either the license plate panel (used as a lever) on his abdomen is flipped and pushed down (similarly to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)/toys#Leader Class toys 2|the ''Revenge of the Fallen'' Leader Class Optimus Prime toy]]), or when a tall gray piece on the back-right of his head is pressed down. Two flaps on his abdomen open up, and a back-lit spinning cannon is deployed, lighting up his eyes as well as playing a rapid-fire shooting sound until the button is released, in which the cannon retracts back into his innards and a winding/powering-down sound is played.

:Ironhide's other lights and sounds gimmick is related to his head: when either the button on his chest or the lever on the back of his head are used, his [[mouthplate]] moves down, his eyes flash green and says the following the phrases, "Ironhide here" and "Weapons ready." (He is not voiced by [[Jess Harnell]], but by [[Lenny Panzica]].) He also features cannons mounted on his arms/roof that pop out and deploy when each respective smokestack is pulled, and can be used in either vehicle or robot mode. There is also a small button behind the cabin that emits a (rather vague) sound of the vehicle driving and firing its cannons/ramming through obstacles when it is pressed. If the button is held down further, additional driving and engine revving sounds are emitted.

:Lastly, Ironhide has two weapons hidden in each of his legs. Opening the side of his left leg reveals and pops up a removable knife, whereas opening his right leg deploys a detachable spring-loaded cannon, either of which he can wield.

:Interestingly, he is more or less at [[scale]] with the various [[Human Alliance]] toys.

:The international version replaces his first saying with a simple "Ironhide", and the second "Weapons ready" saying is replaced with a robotic stomping sound (which is a modified version of the "ramming through obstacles" vehicle-mode sound.) Some units have the spring pushed and compressed too far back into the launcher, preventing the projectile from even shooting out. This ''can'' be fixed, but pulling and stretching the small spring further out while it is in the launcher may be rather difficult. Early versions of this toy also have a glued neck joint which prevents the head from turning. A [[Variant#Running changes|running change variant]] later restored the neck [[articulation]] and enlarged the "Try me!" hole of the toy's [[packaging]]. Unfortunately, this later version suffered from particularly poor [[quality control]] concerning the silver [[paint operation]]s beside his headlights, as they tended to come scratched off in the box.

:The two of his hood halves also frequently detach from the ball joints they are mounted on during transformation, quite possibly [[for safety reasons]].

:Despite being advertised as a MechTech figure, Leader class Ironhide's gimmicks are almost entirely unrelated to the interchangeable, spring-loaded MechTech weapons seen on most of the other ''Dark of the Moon'' MechTech toys. Besides his fists, the only two 5mm post/MechTech ports on Ironhide are the ones on the hood halves above his shoulders, which can only be accessed in robot mode.

:His box mentions "Automatic conversion sounds", yet no such sound plays during transformation. Additionally, he is mis-transformed in his stock photography, as his vehicle front-end chest is not connected to his [[Kibble#"Faux-parts"|faux-bumper]] grille, nor are the wheels angled into his chest.

:The Japanese release of the figure comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his arm cannons for the MechTech Wars online game, even though his arm cannons aren't actually MechTech weapons in the sense that they are removable weapons that can be given to other characters.

**''Accessories:'' Knife, leg-mounted removable spring-loaded cannon, one projectile

:''[[Transformers: Generations|Generations]]'' Ironhide is a redeco of ''Dark of the Moon'' Leader Class Ironhide sporting a new red, gray, and silver color scheme that [[homage]]s ''[[Generation 1 (franchise)|Generation 1]]'' Ironhide similar to the previously-released Cannon Force Ironhide toys. He features the unrestricted, articulated neck joint, but uses the international version of the soundchip.

:His packaging call-outs still mention the "Automatic conversion sounds" he doesn't have. Worse yet, his packaging [[stock photography|stock photos]], which depict a hand-painted [[prototype]], are simply a recolored version of his first Leader Class toy, retaining the mis-transformations, having ''numerous'' color and deco differences, and just generally being so sloppily edited that the robot and vehicle-mode photos are inconsistent with ''each other.'' Oh well...

:Ironhide was initially available at general retail in China and other Asian Hasbro markets in English-only ''Generations'' packaging as part of Hasbro's Global Development Organization ([[Transformers: Generations#Asian retail exclusives ("GDO")|"GDO"]]) line-up. He was later made available by Hasbro in Canada as a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusive... in [[multilingual packaging|bilingual]] English/Chinese ''Dark of the Moon'' packaging with additional ''[[Movie Trilogy Series]]'' labels.

:''[[Studio Series]]'' "Autobot Ironhide" is a new Voyager Class mold transforming into a licensed GMC Heavy Duty Topkick 6500 4×4 Crew Cab Edition. He comes with two different arm cannons, which plug into his forearms via 5mm pegs. The two arm cannons can combine and plug into the back of the truck via small tabs. His truck hood parts come mistransformed in the packaging, and actually plug into an unnoticeable hole in between his chest, while the doors wrap around and tab into two struts on his back. A cool but undocumented feature is how his head peeks through the car window, homaging the G1 toy.

:Ironhide was first released in Singapore without any prior announcement by Hasbro.

[[Image:Movie MonroeTopkickIronhideEdition.jpg|right|300px|thumb|What do you mean there are no cannons?]]
*'''GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide Edition''' (2007)

:As reported at [http://web.archive.org/web/20070708214518/http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=121589 Edmunds], [http://www.monroetruck.com/index.asp Monroe Truck Equipment], in association with Hasbro, released a GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide special edition featuring most of the modifications made to the Ironhide vehicle props used in the movie, with the only difference being that the truck will retain its stock orange running lights (the movie used blue) and the large stock sideview mirrors.

:Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications. Production on the GMC Topkick truck ceased when General Motors exited the medium-duty truck market in 2009. Ironhide's death in the third film is certainly not connected to this, not at all.

:''Overload is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Unicron Trilogy]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:Overload-armada-cardart.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Hey guys, I'm totally in ''[[Transformers: Armada (cartoon)|Armada]]'', seriously!]]
'''Overload''' is an Autobot powerhouse. On his own, he's strong, massive, and covered with guns and artillery. On top of this, he can combine with [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]], forming an enormously powerful set of cannons for the Autobot leader.

Just ''who'' or even what Overload is depends on which universe one is in, or whatever source you find. Sometimes "Overload" is simply the name used by the [[Mini-Con]] [[Rollout (Armada)|Rollout]] when he combines with his armored trailer. And sometimes the trailer itself is Overload, a separate living entity or weapons platform... who uses someone else to form his robot-mode chest and head.

===Toy pack-in comics===
[[File:Armada V4 Rollout Overload.jpg|thumb|Stop talking to yourself!]]
When [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] defeated [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Overload and Rollout accompanied Optimus in transporting Galvatron to prison. [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] attacked the duo, rescuing Galvatron. The two [[Decepticon]]s combined, and Overload in robot mode was set to battle him, but then transformed into a battle platform manned by Rollout. His firepower was of little concern to Galvatron, who swatted the two away. Overload transformed into robot mode just in time to see [[Unicron]] take over the sky. {{Storylink|Armada Volume 4}}

===Dreamwave ''Armada'' continuity===
====Dreamwave ''Armada'' comic====
[[File:Jetfireblurrsideswiperhinoxoverload.jpg|left|upright=1.66|thumb|I'm in the background a lot.]]

Overload was an Autobot under [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. When the Autobots detected multiple [[space bridge]]s opening at [[Decepticon Command Headquarters|Decepticon Command HQ]], causing disruptions in dimensional space, Jetfire led a team of Autobots to the Decepticon base to investigate. When they got there, they found carnage: All of the Decepticon inhabitants had been butchered and mutilated. As they wandered around the base, Overload questioned if they were going the right way, but they were soon attacked by [[Bludgeon (G1)|the mysterious killer]]. Overload pulled the injured Jetfire out of further harm's way before being ordered to transform into vehicle mode to light up the cavernous base (as well as their attacker). After Jetfire emptied his weapons bays, Overload asked Jetfire if they got him, but the situation was bad, as they'd only succeeded in destroying the creature's outer shell. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 3 of 4}}

Once they were in the Master Space-Bridge Nexus of the Decepticon base, the Autobots began setting detonation charges, intending to stop the damage to the fabric of space-time by destroying the Nexus. However, they were attacked, and Overload reported that it might have been their previous assailant, though it was difficult to know what was inside of that shell. Overload was glad to pull out when ordered, as all of his firepower was having little effect their opponent. He was pleased when the Nexus blowed up real good, until they noticed Jetfire was missing. However, both Jetfire and [[Optimus Prime (Armada)|Optimus Prime]] returned in spiffy new colours with spiffy new powers. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 4 of 4}}

Overload was in the command center of [[Autobase|Autobase: Cybertron]] as the Autobots readied their defenses against [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|The End}}

====''Energon'' comic====
[[File:Overloadmultiplicity.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]

Ten years later, during the worldwide [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]] assault on [[Earth]], Overload, [[Dropshot (Armada)|Dropshot]], and [[Ironhide (Energon)|Ironhide]] were stationed at [[Base Site One]] in [[Canada]]'s [[Yukon|Yukon Territory]], where their equipment included a planetary shield generator. Base Site 1 had lost contact with [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], which would put the Autobots' countermeasures in jeopardy. While Overload suspected the Terrorcons may have something to do with their problem, Dropshot noted it could just as easily be an equipment malfunction. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}}

The arrival of [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] confirmed Overload's theory, and he was quickly taken out by a blast from the Terrorcon's tail-gun after having Dropshot thrown in his face. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 4}} Left alone to face not only Scorponok but also [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], Ironhide tried desperately to rouse the unconscious Overload and Dropshot, to no avail. {{storylink|No Exit}}

====''More Than Meets The Eye'' (Armada)====
{{note|Although supposedly set in the same universe as Dreamwave's ''Armada'' comic book, the ''More Than Meets the Eye'' guidebook published after the conclusion of the series contained multiple scenarios that were completely incompatible with the comic's story.}}

Overload was commissioned in the "Second year of the earthen conflict" by Optimus Prime to serve as a weapons platform, using [[Rollout (Armada)|Rollout]] as a Headmaster unit. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye: Transformers: Armada}}

===Cartoon continuity===
====''Armada'' cartoon====
[[File:ArmOverloadToon01.jpg|left|thumb|Hey! Over here! Behind the geek and the undead guy!]]
[[File:ArmOverloadToon02.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb]]
Overload's origin is unknown.

Overload suddenly appeared as a trailer attached to the rear of Optimus Prime's container as the Autobot leader launched himself from the ''[[Axalon (Armada)|Axalon]]''. Faced with the powerful [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]]-controlled clone [[Nemesis Prime (Armada)|Nemesis Prime]], Overload powerlinked with Optimus's super mode to form a pair of massive, shoulder-mounted cannons. Together, Optimus and [[Megatron (Armada)|Galvatron]] destroyed the monstrous marionette. {{storylink|Puppet}}

Upon their arrival on Cybertron, Optimus Prime used Overload's combination firepower once more. {{storylink|Uprising (Armada)|Uprising}}

Realizing the threat of Unicron, Optimus Prime attempted to reach out to Galvatron and forge an alliance against the Chaos Bringer. As expected, the Decepticon leader refused, forcing Optimus to powerlink with both Jetfire and Overload to form Jet Magna Convoy. However, in this form he did not engage in battle with the similarly powerlinked Galvatron, instead using his power to lead the Decepticon away from battle. {{storylink|Cramp}}

After the formation of an alliance between the Autobots and Decepticons, Overload, in robot mode, stood behind [[Side Swipe (Armada)|Side Swipe]] and [[Smokescreen (Armada)|Hoist]] during the mission briefing. {{storylink|Union}}

{{-}}

====''Linkage''====
Overload was an Autobot who developed an addiction to powerlinxing, to the point where he would forcibly merge with Mini-Cons who didn't want to join with him. Realizing that his addiction had turned self-destructive, he went into voluntary exile until he could overcome his problem. By the time that he sought refuge on [[Nebulos]], his Spark had begun a fatal diminishment as a result of withdrawal from the powerlinx process.

Fortunately, the Nebulan doctors [[Hi-Q]] and [[Arcana]] were treating another Cybertronian patient: Rollout, who had lost the ability to transform as a result of [[Nucleon (substance)|nucleon]]. The two doctors consulted the archives and discovered an ancient medical technique known as the [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] process, which could save both lives with a single operation. The new composite being would survive, but their mind and body could not accommodate two sparks simultaneously.

Seeking a Cybertronian physician, they found [[Rhinox (Armada)|Rhinox]], who brought them back to Cybertron and completely rebuilt them using the same techniques he had used when refitting Jetfire. The new Overload was deployed before he was completed to help Optimus Prime defeat an evil clone of himself. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/18}}

[[File:LinkageOverload.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Cheesebot Spam-a-lot.]]
Overload, flanked by [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] (who happens to form extra artillery for the [[Megatron (Armada)|Decepticon leader]]), engaged the forces of [[Unicron]] with some heavy [[Powerlinx]] artillery, using [[Prowl (Armada)|Prowl]] and [[Kingbolt (MD)|Kingbolt]] in their pistol modes, plus [[Quench]] in his missile launcher mode. {{storylink|Linkage Part 13}}

Rhinox was killed in this fight, and thus could never complete his upgrade. For many years Overload never truly understood the mystery of his origins, until he discovered his original schematics. After upgrading himself again, he left Cybertron in search of clues. He eventually discovered Hi-Q, solving the mystery. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/09/18}}

====''Universe'' toy bio====
Overload used to be a partner to Optimus Prime himself. But those days are past: he left Cybertron years ago. With his origins and past a mystery, even to ''Overload'', he hunts for the answers to his past on the lost Cybertronian colony worlds.

[[File:ArmadaOverload toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"I'm not really sure ''what'' I transform into, but it's good... right?"]]
*'''Overload with Mini-Con Rollout''' (Max-Con, 2003)
**''Japanese ID number'': '''MC-14'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

: Overload is a red and black carrier truck capable of carrying [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] in his vehicle mode. His robot mode, in which his [[Mini-Con]], [[Rollout (Armada)|Rollout]], acts as his [[Headmaster (technology)|head]], is a heavily armed robot with a vague resemblance to [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]'s [[Ultra Magnus (G1)|Ultra Magnus]] (thus the Japanese name) such as the [[gimmick]] of his shoulders, though it actually (according to [[Joe Kyde|the designer]]) has more details from the [[Action Master]] [[Rollout (G1)|Rollout]].

:Overload can be pulled by Rollout in his altmode, [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys|Optimus Prime]]'s cab, or attached to Optimus's trailer to form a double trailer. Overload can also transform into a dual spring-loaded missile-firing cannon pack for Optimus Prime's Super Mode (forming '''Optimus Prime Megaweapon'''), and can also attach to Prime's trailer in its "base" mode. He can also attach to the trailer for an undocumented Super Mode, by detaching the lower half of Overload's legs and plugging the trailer-legs into the sockets on his thighs.

: Inserting Rollout into his chest cavity and pushing it into position to form his chest/head will press against a button, activating the ''Generation 1'' transformation sound effect.

: The Japanese version features slightly more intricate paint applications and a silver face. This version also replaced some of the red plastic with maroon plastic.

: The Overload mold was reused for ''Energon'' [[Ultra Magnus (Energon)|Ultra Magnus]], and was retooled for [[OTFCC 2004]]'s ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' [[Sentinel Maximus]] with a new head mold.

*'''Overload''' (Voyager, 2009)
**''Series'': Cybertron Series
**''Accessories'': 2 missiles, rifle, clear green [[Earth]]-style [[Cyber Key]]

: Part of the fifth wave of ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Voyagers, Overload is a [[redeco]] of ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' [[Scattorshot (Cybertron)#CybDef|Cybertron Defense Scattorshot]], transforming into a mobile multiple-launch rocket system with a color scheme reminiscent of the Generation 1 Micromaster [[Flak (G1)|Flak]]. He has "'''[[File:Symbol autobot reg.png|15px]] MDL 823-75'''" on the right side of the launcher, the significance of which is not yet known.

: The halves of the (non-firing) launcher end up on his arms in robot mode. In either mode, inserting a Cyber Key in each half reveals a new weapon: the right side has a slide-out double spring-loaded missile launcher which ends up on his left robot arm, while the left has a flip-out non-firing cannon barrel which ends up on his right robot arm. Both key-activated weapons feature fake handles which end up being "held" by his hands in robot mode, although the missile launcher on his right arm needs to be slid forward for him to be able to reach the deployed blaster's handle. He also comes with an extra long green hand-held rifle that can be mounted in tank mode thanks to his [[Mini-Con]]-compatible [[Powerlinx]] plugs.

: This mold was also used to make ''Universe'' [[Dropshot (G1)#Universe (2008)|Dropshot]] and ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Flak (G1)#Timelines|Flak]].

==Notes==
* Overload's entry in Dreamwave's ''[[More than Meets the Eye: Transformers: Armada|Armada: More Than Meets The Eye]]'' profile series claims that his combination with [[Rollout (Armada)|Rollout]] uses "[[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster technology]]". The [[Armada Fleer card series|Fleer card]] for Rollout also makes mention of this.
* According to [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]], he intended to have a sub-plot explaining just where the hell Overload came from in the [[Linkage (comic)|''Linkage'' comic]], but didn't have the space to do so, so he dropped it in favor of focusing on the A-plot and cramming in what DVD-exclusive-character moments he could.
** Years later, he finally got to give Overload a proper origin via the Facebook edition of [[Ask Vector Prime]]!
* Overload's whole "appearing out of nowhere without explanation" deal from the cartoon got a slight ribbing in the [[bio]] for his 2008 ''Universe'' toy, which established that he was now on a quest to discover the mystery of his origins.
** This bit of info was also incorporated into Ask Vector Prime's explanation of ''Linkage'' Overload's origin!

Attack mode

Toastbucket: Fixed missing file for the photo at the top.

[[File:BW2Apache toy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Transforms from robot to monkey to coffee table and back!]]

'''Attack mode''' (sometimes called '''battle mode''') is an extra mode added to a ''Transformer'' toy to give its [[robot mode]] and/or [[alternate mode]] a more combat-orientated configuration. It primarily consists of a figure arranging or adding weapons in such a way that it becomes more focused on combat than the standard robot or alternate mode. Sometimes it consists of uncovering weapons not seen on either mode. A good example of this is [[B'Boom]]'s third mode. Another example is ''[[Transformers Animated (toyline)|Animated]]'' [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]]; by deploying his cannons on his back and flipping out his guns, he goes from imposing to "beating you to hell and back".

However, attack mode may also involve only a slight shift from the basic robot/alt mode, such as folding wings onto the shoulders, like ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (toyline)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' [[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]], or just pointing the [[beast mode]] head up on the chest, as with ''Animated'' [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]]. It is most likely that these modes are thought up by [[Hasbro]] to give the toy an extra bonus without actually investing in [[Kibble|extra parts]].

==Toys==
===''Generation 1'' and ''Generation 2''===
[[File:Downshift vehicle.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|I play Downshift in attack mode!]]
*The [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] and [[Predacon (G1)|Predacon]]s had vehicular/beast attack modes that incorporated extra [[combiner]] parts and loose weapons.
*Many characters had attack modes made by adding loose weapons to their alternate mode including:
:*Limbs from all the other combiner teams except the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbot]]s, [[Pretender Monster]]s, and [[Strafe (G1)|Strafe]] who needs his weapons to complete his vehicle mode.
:*Autobot [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]]s except [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]].
:*[[Targetmaster (technology)|Targetmaster]]s.
:*[[Powermaster]]s except [[Doubledealer]].
:*[[Pretender]] shells.
*Many others could be made into "attack robots" by attaching their loose weapons to their robot modes.
*The [[Omnibot (G1)|Omnibots]] possessed vehicular "assault modes" with weapons systems deployed from their vehicle modes.

===''Beast Wars''===
[[File:BWscourgeinstructionsAttackmode.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Yup, that sure is an entirely new mode.]]
The term "attack mode" was used rather loosely throughout the ''Beast Wars''. Several characters were advertised as having an attack mode in their instruction booklets, but oftentimes, this mode was merely the character's beast mode with their robot-mode weapons deployed. Nonetheless, the following characters were referred as having an attack mode:

{{collist|3|
*[[B'Boom]]
*[[Transquito]]
*[[Ravage (G1)/toys|Tripredacus Agent]]

;Fuzor
*[[Bantor (BW)|Bantor]]
*[[Buzzclaw (BW)|Buzzclaw]]
*[[Injector]]
*[[Noctorro]]
*[[Terragator]]
*[[Torca (BW)|Torca]]

;Transmetal 2
*[[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]]
*[[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Cheetor]]
*[[Cybershark]]
*[[Dinobot II|Dinobot]]
*[[Iguanus (BW)|Iguanus]]
*[[Jawbreaker]]
*[[Nightglider]]
*[[Ramulus]]
*[[Prowl II|Prowl]]
*[[Scourge (BW)|Scourge]]
*[[Spittor (BW)|Spittor]]
*[[Stinkbomb]]
}}

Additionally, the following characters were said to possess an '''animal attack mode''':
{{collist|2|
*[[B'Boom]]
*[[Cicadacon]]
*[[Ironhide (G1)/toys|Ironhide]]
*[[Prowl (G1)/toys|Prowl]] (Magnaboss)
*[[Ram Horn]]
*[[Sea Clamp]]
*[[Silverbolt (G1)|Silverbolt]] (Magnaboss)
*[[Silverbolt (BW)|Silverbolt]] (Fuzor)
*[[Transquito]]
*[[Windrazor (BW)|Windrazor]]}}

What draws the line between an animal attack mode and a regular attack mode in these cases is unknown. [[B'Boom]] and [[Transquito]] were the only Transformers to possess two separate "attack modes" each. Oddly enough, nearly all toys from this era were shown as possessing similar offensive abilities in their beast modes that would suggest they too had either an "attack mode" or an "animal attack mode". However, in these cases, said ability was not shown to be a distinct mode, but was alternatively referred to with the somewhat redundant term "attack weapons". Finally, [[Optimus Primal/toys|Optimal Optimus]] possesses two vehicle modes, the names of which evoked an "attack mode": his "Hypersonic Attack Mode" and his "Ground Assault Mode".

In the guide book ''[[Beast Wars Universe]]'', there are several terms for third mode besides "attack mode", including:

{{collist|3|
;Another form
*[[Buzzclaw (BW)|Buzzclaw]]
*[[Optimus Minor]]
*[[Optimus Primal/toys|Optimus Primal]] (Ultra)
*[[Retrax]]
*[[Scarem]]
*[[Sonar (BW)|Sonar]]

;Attack weapons
*[[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]]
*[[Drill Bit (BW)|Drill Bit]]

;On the shelves
*[[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Cheetor]] (Transmetal 2)
*[[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] (Transmetal 2)

;''Miscellaneous''
*Aerial battle mode - [[Tigerhawk]]
*Robotic defense mode - [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] (Transmetal 2)
*Shield mode - [[Airazor (BW)|Airazor]] (Transmetal)
}}

===''Energon''===
Aside from the smaller [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcon]]s and the Decepticon combiners, every Decepticon has a '''Hyper Mode'''. Sometimes it is just a minor repositioning of parts, as with [[Slugslinger (Energon)|Slugslinger]], but in many cases, it reveals hidden weapons or accessories, like [[Sharkticon (Energon)|Sharkticon's]] side cannons or [[Cyclonus (Armada)|Snow Cat's]] skis. In the cases of [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]], [[Shockblast]], and [[Six Shot]], their third modes (scorpion or satellite) act as the vehicle mode's hyper mode, the vehicle mode being a plane or a laser tank.

===''Transformers Animated''===
* [[Oil Slick (Animated)|Oil Slick]] has a ''hilarious'' "Vehicle Attack Mode" that pretty much looks like he's doing a pushup.
* [[Snarl (Animated)|Snarl]] features an "attack mode", that is basically flipping the beast mode's face up on his robot mode chest.

===Live-action film series===
*[[Depthcharge]] and his [[redeco]]es, [[Sonar (ROTF)|Sonar]] and the cancelled [[Drydock (TF 2010)|Drydock]], have a battle mode allowing them to transform into robot mode while still on the water and float on large boat-feet.
*[[Ransack (ROTF)|Ransack]] and his redeco, [[Divebomb (Movie)|Divebomb]] have a battle mode that consists of his rotor being pointed forward and his wings propped upwards.
*[[Skystalker (ROTF)|Skystalker]] and his redeco, [[Sunspot]], have a battle mode.

The entire [[Stealth Force]] concept can be considered attack modes for a Transformer's alternate form, and several toys from ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' toyline have the ability to deploy weapons (or at least ports to peg weapons onto) in vehicle mode to simulate it.

</gallery></center>

==Notes==
* A Transformer with an attack mode as the third mode isn't usually a [[Triple Changer]]. Some of them weren't labeled or identified as Triple Changers until several years after the release of the toys.

* [[Apache]]'s third mode is called "'''Angry Combat Mode'''".

Shellformer

2017-12-03T01:50:21Z

Toastbucket: Added a crude link to Big Convoy's page under the "wool coat" joke

{{disambig2|toys that have lots of kibble|toys from a long time ago that still haven't been sold|Shelfwarmer}}
[[File:BWN-toy Break.jpg|right|upright=2.2|thumb|The robot is the prize inside. No refunds.]]
'''Shellformer''' is a fandom term for a [[Toy|Transformer]] that transforms by "unpeeling" [[kibble|pieces of one form]] to reveal the other form inside. Literally, the majority of the [[alternate mode]] is a "shell" that closes completely (or close enough) around the robot parts, with the [[robot mode]] having very little genuine integration of the alternate mode parts.

Shellforming is often the result of a design failing to include appropriate parts integration to support an aesthetically pleasing alt mode, and is often the result of attempts to produce a "realistic" [[beast mode]]. Sometimes, however, it may be an intended part of the design. For example, ''[[Transformers: Age of Extinction (toyline)|Age of Extinction]]'' [[Crosshairs (AOE)#Generations|Deluxe Class Crosshairs]] uses the panels that form the majority of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] to create the appearance of a [[Transformer clothing#Trenchcoats|trenchcoat]].

In some of the most extreme cases, such as the ones pictured on this page, one can remove almost the entirety of the alternate mode parts and still have a complete, fully-functional robot figure left over.

This term is most often used derisively. Also see [[kibble]].

Shellformers should not be confused with the [[Pretender]]s.

Hoist (G1)/toys

2017-12-03T01:27:06Z

Toastbucket: changed text that erroneously caused text under spy changer hoist's section to read "X-Brawn#Spychanger" as the web address for his page does instead of just "X-Brawn" so that it now reads as the latter.

{{suite}}

[[File:G1 boxart Hoist.jpg|upright=1.3|thumb|]]

Can you hoist all of '''Hoist'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s toys?

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[File:G1 Hoist toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Oh, I say old chaps, anyone in need of a lift?"]]
*'''Hoist''' (Autobot, [[1985]], [[2001]])
**''Japanese ID number'': '''46'''
**''Accessories'': Left & right fists, left & right "Radar Panels", "Full Spectrum Multi-Sensor", 2 "Twin Blasters", 2 missiles

:A [[retool]] of 1984's [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys|Trailbreaker]] featuring a new head and an orange towing apparatus to replace Trailbreaker's canopy, Hoist transforms into a green Toyota Hi-Lux pickup. The truck has blue tinted windows and black and yellow caution decals running the length of the body side. In [[robot mode]], Hoist is mostly green with chrome legs and orange trim. The toy comes equipped with two plug in fists, but Hoist is usually depicted with one hand and one weapon. The spring-launchers in his forearms were severely neutered for all US releases of the toy.

:In [[IGA|Mexico]], Hoist retained the original Trailbreaker head, but cast in green plastic. Weird. The Mexican version has no white outlines on the caution stripes on the sides.

:Hoist was given a ''[[Collector's Edition]]'' reissue in Japan in 2001 as a single-day C3 convention exclusive.

[[File:MachineWars Hoist toy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|"Really now, chaps. Black, this is simply too much."]]
*'''Hoist''' (Basic, [[1997]])
**''Accessories'': Grill/rifle

:A mold originally designed for — but never released in — ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'', ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' Hoist shares a mold with ''Machine Wars'' [[Hubcap (MW)#Machine Wars|Hubcap]], transforming into a Kenworth W900 wrecker truck. He is a "flipchanger", meaning most of his transformation sequence is an [[autotransformation|autotransform]], springing into robot mode by lifting a catch (in his case, his towing hook). His rifle is made up of his front grill and bumper.

:This mold was also used to make [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Tow-Line (RID)#Robots in Disguise (2001)|Tow-Line]] and ''[[Robotmasters (franchise)|Robotmasters]]'' [[Tow-Line (RID)#Robotmasters|Wrecker Hook]].

**''Japanese ID number'': '''46'''
**''Accessories'': Left & right fists, left & right "Radar Panels", "Full Spectrum Multi-Sensor", 2 "Twin Blasters", 2 missiles

:Hoist was later re-re-issued in 2003 by [[Hasbro]] as part of the [[Toys"R"Us|Toys"Я"Us]]-[[exclusive]] ''[[The Transformers: Generation One Commemorative Series|Commemorative Series]]'' line.

===Universe (2003)===
[[File:Hoist-Uni03SC1.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|Now armed with a vacuum cleaner!]]
*'''Hoist''' (Spy Changer, 2003)

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' Hoist is a redeco of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spy Changer]] version of [[X-Brawn#Spychanger|X-Brawn]], transforming into a [[Mercedes-Benz]] ML320 SUV. He features through-axle wheels to allow for super-fast rolling on smooth surfaces. Like the other toys in his assortment, Hoist uses factory-applied decals for a lot of his [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]] deco, a rarity for toys released since the ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toyline.

:Originally a Kay-Bee stores exclusive, the first release of this toy (and the others in the assortment) did not have any sub-line designation at all, but later releases for other chains, most notably "budget" chains like Family Dollar, marked them as ''Universe'' product.

*'''Hoist''' (Spy Changer, [[2006]])

:This version of Hoist is identical to the last [[KB Toys]] [[exclusive]] redeco of [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Ironhide (RID)#KB2|Ironhide]], transforming into a translucent blue Ford F150 Flareside pickup truck. Being at roughly 1:64 scale and featuring through-axle construction, he is largely compatible with "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" brand race tracks and playsets. He was available only on an individual card from discount chains like The Dollar Store.

:This mold was also used to make [[Motormouth]], the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bots]] version of [[Ironhide (G1)/toys#Generation 2|Ironhide]] and the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' version of ''Robots in Disguise'' [[Ironhide (RID)#Universe (2003)|Ironhide]].

**''Japanese ID number'': '''14'''
**''Accessories'': Left & right fists, left & right "Radar Panels", "Full Spectrum Multi-Sensor", 2 "Twin Blasters", 2 missiles

:Hoist was re-issued again in Japan in 2008 as part of [[TakaraTomy]]'s ''[[Transformers Encore|Encore]]'' line. Of note, his eyes were changed to blue, and similar to the Mexican version, he has no white outlines on the caution stripes on the sides.

He features retooled hands and a hole on the back of his head/roof, both of which are compatible with [[C joint|3mm posts]]. He comes with a gun (sculpted after one of Generation 1 Hoist's missiles) with three posts and a hole, allowing the weapon to be held and mounted in different ways. Originally developed by Hasbro Asia for release in their territories, Hoist was later released together with various other formerly "Asian market exclusive" toys as a [[Toys"R"Us|ToysЯUs]] exclusive in the United States for the 2012 holiday season.

{{-}}{{anchor|SDCCMetroplex}}
====Thrilling 30====
*'''Metroplex''' (Titan Class, [[2013]])
**'''01 OF 30'''

:An [[exclusive]] version of Titan Class [[Metroplex (G1)#SDCC|Metroplex]] was made available at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2013. He comes with 12 small, non-transforming figurines of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#SDCCMetroplex|Orion Pax]], [[Megatron (G1)/toys#SDCCMetroplex|Megatron]], [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#SDCCMetroplex|Bumblebee]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#SDCCMetroplex|Thundercracker]], [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#SDCCMetroplex|Trailcutter]], and Hoist, all in both modes. The figurines are based on their ''Generations: [[Thrilling 30]]'' Deluxe Class toys, and similarly to [[Decoy]]s, the Autobot figurines are cast in red plastic, and the Decepticons in purple.

{{-}}{{anchor|HKACGCONMetroplex}}
[[File:Generationstoy-T30-Metroplex-Hoist-HKACGCON.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Metroplex''' (Titan Class, 2013)
**'''05 OF 30'''

:Another exclusive version of Titan Class [[Metroplex (G1)#HKACGCON|Metroplex]] was made available at [[Hong Kong ACG-CON]] 2013. This Metroplex also has the 12 figurines of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#HKACGCONMetroplex|Orion Pax]], [[Megatron (G1)/toys#HKACGCONMetroplex|Megatron]], [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#HKACGCONMetroplex|Bumblebee]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys#HKACGCONMetroplex|Thundercracker]], [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#HKACGCONMetroplex|Trailcutter]], and Hoist, but casts the Autobot figurines in gold plastic, and the Decepticons in silver.

[[File:Generations IDW Hoist.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Hmm, what can one say about Hoist's toy? Well, um... it's green, for starters. It's also, er... it's got a towing hook! A towing hook that, uh... turns into a gun, and...]]
*'''Hoist''' (Deluxe, 2013)
**''Accessories'': Towing hook/blaster

:Part of the sixth wave of 2012-onwards ''Generations'' Deluxe Class toys, ''[[Thrilling 30]]'' Hoist is a redeco/retool of [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Trailcutter]]. He has a new head, and transforms into an off-road truck. Instead of Trailcutter's truck bed canopy/shielded blaster, Hoist comes with a towing hook that can transform into a blaster, and peg via [[5mm post]] onto any of his numerous ports.

:This version of the toy was redecorated into [[Lift-Ticket (Diaclone)|Lift-Ticket]]. The original tooling of this toy also served as the basis of the non-toy characters [[Flatline (G1)|IDW Flatline]], [[Turbofire#Wings Universe|''Wings Universe'' Turbofire]], [[Trailbreaker (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Trailbreaker]], and [[Lockdown (SG)|''Shattered Glass'' Lockdown]].

:The American release comes packaged with a copy of [[IDW Publishing|IDW]]'s [[The Waiting Game|Spotlight: Hoist]]''.

*'''Trailbreaker & Hoist''' (Multi-pack, 2013-[[November 30|11-30]])
**''Japanese ID number'': '''TG-27'''
**''Accessories'': Towing hook/blaster

:The Japanese release of ''Generations'' Hoist is redecoed in colors closer to his original toy, featuring a darker shade of green plastic, a darker orange, and a blue windshield. He also has several additional [[paint operation]]s including back lights and eyes, which are now blue rather than yellow. Hoist's yellow stripes were changed to orange for this release and some of the black operations on his front bumper to silver. Hoist was only available in a two-pack with [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#TrailbreakerHoist2pack|Trailbreaker]].

[[File:Kre-O-Toy Hoist.jpg|right|300px|thumb|If you get shot, I'll patch you up and give you a...oh, really now, Hasbro. Don't make me have to give my patients those little Lego turkey legs!]]
*'''Hoist''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2013)
**''Collection'': '''2'''
**''Bag number'': '''***** 76'''
**''Accessories'': Long blaster

:As part of the second wave of [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] ''[[Kre-O]]'' [[Micro-Changer]]s, Hoist is a Kreon patterned after Generation 1 Hoist. He can be rebuilt into a tow truck.

:This Collection was still in circulation at "dollar" stores and drug stores up through 2015. They eventually lost the individual-identifying bag codes, but other changes were hidden inside the bag. The 2015 releases replaced the 2x4 logo stand-brick with a new 3x4 logo plate. The Kreon was also given the slight [[retool]]ing to the arm seen in the 2014 Kreons, making the "cuff" parts more sharp-cornered and better adapted to being used as studs. Some of the add-on pieces may also be slightly off-color, possibly due to a change in factories in mid-production.

[[File:KreO-Toy HoistMWKreon.jpg|right|thumb|250px|]]
*'''Machine Wars''' (Kreon Souvenir Figure Set, 2013)
**''Accessories'': Large rifle

:This version of Hoist is based on the [[BotCon 2013]] [[#Timelines|version of Hoist]], which is in turn based on ''[[Machine Wars: Transformers|Machine Wars]]'' [[#Machine Wars|Hoist]].

:The ''Machine Wars'' five-pack was exclusive to BotCon 2013, and includes Kreons of Hoist, [[Megaplex#Kre-O|Megaplex]], [[Obsidian (BM)#Kre-O|Obsidian]], [[Skywarp (MW)#Kre-O|Skywarp]], and [[Strika (BM)#Kre-O|Strika]].

*'''Kreon Class of 1985''' (Kreon figure set, 2015)
**''Set number'' '''B5152'''
**''Voted'': Most Helpful
**''Accessories'': Double-blaster

:[[Kreon Class of '85]] Hoist's deco is much more heavily based on the [[Hoist (G1)/toys#Generation 1|original Hoist toy]], plus gives him a wrist-blaster. Like the rest of the set, he uses the almost-totally-[[retool]]ed 2015 style of Kreon body.

:This box set of thirty Kreons was a [[San Diego Comic-Con]] 2015 [[exclusive]], with leftovers being sold on [[Hasbro Toy Shop]] online after the show.

{{-}}{{Anchor|2016}}
*'''Hoist''' (Kreon Micro-Changer, 2016)
**''Collection'': '''2'''
**''Accessories'': Logo plate, large rifle

:In 2016, Collection 2 was re-released in a whole new production run for Dollar General stores in the US as part of a large collection of re-released ''Kre-O'' sets. But where most of these releases are nigh-identical to the originals, the re-released Micro-Changer blind-bags use the almost-entirely-retooled 2015 Kreon, with slightly-differently-hued plastics than the originals. (It is possible for some of the add-on pieces to be in the older hues.) His "hook" piece is also changed from the original version. Hoist's [[tampograph]]s got a slight change, replacing the flat gray with black, changing his black Autobot symbol to red with a white outline, and changing his upper leg deco to yellow.

:Sadly, this release has no individual-identification code on the bag, requiring you to use the feel-through-the-bag method or just buy blind and hope.

===Timelines===
[[File:BotCon2013toy-Hoist.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66|Hey buddy, anybody ever tell you you look like Electro?]]
*'''Machine Wars: Termination''' (BotCon box set, 2013)
**''Accessories'': Rifle

:A redeco/retool of ''Generations'' [[Kup (G1)/toys#Generations|Sergeant Kup]], ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' Hoist is based on [[#Machine Wars|Hoist]]'s ''Machine Wars'' body, and has a new head that combines the elements of his own head and [[Electro]]'s. He transforms into a "retro"-styled Earth pickup truck, and is covered in 3mm rungs that are compatible with [[C joint]] clip-on weapons. There are two rungs on his backpack, plus two rungs each on his forearm kibble, and two on his lower back. The rifle can either plug via [[5mm post]] into the underside of the truck, forming a second exhaust pipe, or clip onto the roof of the truck via a C joint. Interestingly, due to his transformation, Hoist's truck mode features a working tailgate.

:Hoist comes in a [[BotCon 2013]]-exclusive boxset with [[Skywarp (MW)#Timelines|Skywarp]], [[Strika (BM)#Timelines|Strika]], [[Obsidian (BM)#Timelines|Obsidian]], and [[Megaplex#Timelines|Megaplex]]. The original version of this toy, with the [[Retool#Gang-molded alternate parts|alternate head]], was used to make ''Generations'' [[Swerve (G1)#Generations|Swerve]], while this version of the mold was redecoed into fellow BotCon 2013 exclusive, [[Electro#Timelines|Autobot Electrons]].

:In an [[Misassembly|assembly error]], Hoist's shoulders are on the wrong sides, preventing his arms from being lowered to his sides.

===Decoy===
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (multi-pack, [[1986]])
*'''Hoist''' ([[1987]])
**''Decoy number:'' '''21'''

:The figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number. Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]].

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneHoist.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Maybe one of them is the real "Moist"?]]
*Like all of the other 1984~1985 Autobot "cars", the first Hoist toy was originally from the Japanese ''[[Diaclone]]'' toyline as a piloted mecha. The "4WD Hi-Lux Wrecker-type" came in two different color schemes: red with black kneecaps and yellow wrecker-rig, or in blue with red kneecaps and yellow rig, which was available in a two-pack with the ''Diaclone'' toy that would become [[Crosscut (Autobot)|Crosscut]]. Yes, the green-and-orange coloration was made up specifically for ''Transformers''.
*The ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Autotrooper (SG Knights of Unicron)|Autotroopers]] conspicuously sport Hoist heads on the ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' [[Offroad]] mold. Given that they were reportedly intended to be the [[BotCon 2016]] troop builder set at one point, it seems reasonable to surmise that this Hoist tooling does actually exist as the alternate head associated with the figure's [[Trailbreaker (G1)/toys#CombinerWars|Trailbreaker retool]].

Activators

2017-11-23T07:26:25Z

Toastbucket: Added "/toys#Activator" to Optimus (Animated) and Armor up Optimus as well as "#Activators" to many other links and "#Soundblaster" to Soundblaster and "#Electromagnetic" to Electromagnetic Soundwave's links so they link to their pages better.

[[File:Activatorsstarscream.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.67|Activators [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]].]]
The '''Activators''' are a [[size class]] of toy originally released as part of the ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Transformers Animated]]'' [[Transformers Animated (toyline)|toy line]]. They are chunky, small, Scout-sized figures with spring loaded [[autotransformation]] from vehicle to robot [[transformation]]s, but must be hand-transformed back into [[alternate mode|vehicle mode]]. The line continued through the [[Transformers (2010 toyline)|2010-2011 ''Transformers'' toyline]], though these represent characters from the [[live-action film series]] and are larger than previous Activators (similar in size to Deluxe-class figures). For the ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' line, the Activators were further simplified and were released under the [[Robo Power]] subline.
