* Iro is another name with an odder-and-wackier-than-usual origin. In Japanese, "Ironhide" is spelled アイアンハイド (''Aianhaido''), like how the English would pronounce it. The "-ro" bit seems to be purely based on the English ''spelling'' of iron itself and not the ''sound'', which isn't how Japanese transliteration usually works....
*"Iro" is based on [[Ironhide (WFC)|'''Iro'''nhide]].
 
* Iro is the only Arms Micron to appear in ''Arms Micron Theater'' but never appear in "robot" mode. He's also the only Autobot Arms Micron who never speaks.
