Notes
- 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 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.
