| The name or term "Armorhide" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Armorhide (disambiguation). |
- Armorhide is an Autobot from the 2007 movie franchise portion of the live-action film continuity family.
Armorhide figures that the only way to beat the Decepticons is to beat them at their own game. So he's extremely nasty, underhanded, and ruthless to the point of being murderous in combat. This puts him at odds with his teammates and earns him reprimands from Optimus Prime, but frankly Prime can stuff it in his reactor linkage as far as Armorhide is concerned.
Fiction
Titan Magazines Movie comics
Note: The following events occur in an alternate timeline/continuity where Megatron won the battle of Mission City.
Armorhide was part of the Autobot reinforcements. He was quite gung-ho about it, pointing out how the planet was doomed "unless we [did] something about it!" to Arcee - even though she already bloody knew this. Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1 When Starscream attacked, Armorhide declared he'd draw the Decepticon's fire, as he could take more punishment than the others - shockingly, this didn't work against a foe that can fly really fast. Armorhide joined his comrades in heading for Earth to make a last-ditch stand. Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 3
He hated sentry duty, and was also rubbish at it. Aftermath Part 1
In one engagement to protect human infrastructure, he worked with Bumblebee and Arcee to protect an Alaskan oil pipeline from Payloads. Bumblebee gave the orders and that order was to hold position, so naturally Armorhide transformed into truck mode and rammed the drone forces. Dark Spark
With the two of them, he was placed under Ironhide's command on a mission to Cybertron. He also found the time to paint himself green. Return to Cybertron: Part 1 He then changed his mind and decided to be white with blue bits. More worrying than fashion, however, were a Decepticon force powered by Nucleon; even he knew it would be stupid to have a straight fight, and said as much. Instead, he and Arcee provided a distraction by making a tactical withdrawal. Return to Cybertron: Part 2
The chaos of Unicron's arrival ended the battle with the Decepticons, though Armorhide was annoyed to hear Stockade thought planet-warping death-gods were more important than killing him. He also found the time to go back to black. Return to Cybertron: Part 3 When Optimus Prime arrived and united both sides to drain the Nucleon from Unicron's new body, Armorhide was dispatched to work with Bumblebee in doing the actual draining. Return to Cybertron: Part 4
IDW Transformers Movie comics
Armorhide was part of a group of Autobots awaiting the order to move out and rescue fellow Autobots who had been captured by the Decepticons to build Starscream's new All Spark cube. With the return of Arcee, they moved out. The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Four
When Dreadwing's forces betrayed Starscream at Simfur, Armorhide, Crosshairs. Clocker and Arcee created havoc by destroying the new All Spark cube and fighting the rebel Decepticon forces. Clocker was pinned by by Ramjet, and would have been killed if Crosshairs hadn't lopped the Decepticon's head off. He managed to escape with the other Autobots when Dreadwing's starship came crashing down to Trypticon, destroying the once-magnificent Decepticon city. The Reign of Starscream Issue Number Five
Toys
Transformers (2007)
- Armorhide (Scout, 2007)
- Accessories: Crane-cannon, Key
- Part of the third wave of Target-exclusive Scouts, Armorhide is a redeco of the Cybertron series Armorhide toy, transforming into a semi tractor-trailer cab with hook-crane attachment. Plugging a Cyber Planet Key into the back of his cab flips his grill down, exposing a rack of eight (non-firing) missiles. This feature is also available in his robot mode. Unlike most Cybertron-mold toys, Armorhide can store a Cyber Planet Key using tabs on his hook-crane/rifle. He came with a black-bordered Planet X-mold Key with the Sector Seven insignia stamped on it.
- This mold was also used to make Timelines Huffer, and Armorhide's toy itself was repurposed as Shattered Glass Huffer.
Trivia
- Though his bio brands him as an Autobot, his "faction" marking is that of Sector Seven. It is possible that he is hiding out in the Sector Seven motor pool, maybe even as the cab for the Mobile Command Unit.
- Even more interesting, his Cyber Key has a Decepticon symbol on its backside. So Armorhide is even more than meets the eye...spooky.
- Armorhide's cardback claims his wrecker-arm-cannon has a spring-loaded projectile. It don't. Whoops.
