Notes

• Ironhide's body is a black redeco of his Generation 1 counterpart's Universe Deluxe Class body. The black coloration could be considered both a nod to the Diaclone coloration of the original Ironhide mold, and to the 2007 live-action movie Ironhide. Both had been homaged by Encore Ironhide Protect Black. (Much later, said Diaclone toy would become the Transformers character Guard.)
• In IDW Publishing's comic series, Ironhide appears as a "virtual redeco" of the Earthrise Deluxe Class Ironhide toy.
