Fiction

Ask Vector Prime

Vector Prime first noticed Ironside in Aurex 503.01 Gamma, but noted that Micromaster versions of him existed in Primax 209.0 Gamma, and at least some of his compatriots exist as full-sized Autobots and Decepticons in Primax 1005.19 Gamma. Ask Vector Prime

Toys

Transformers (2010)

• Minicon 8 Pack (multipack, 2010)

Ironside is a redeco of Classics Broadside, transforming from an M1 Abrams main battle tank into a robot with a mini-gun for a right hand. This mold has gained notoriety for its refusal to stand up in robot mode due to its small feet.

He was only available as part of the European-market exclusive "Minicon 8 Pack" box set with Buckshot, Barrel Roll, Iron Claw, Diveplane, Airlift, Heavy-Liftor, and Reachout.

This mold was also used to make Heavytread and Universe (2008) Treadshot.

Notes

• The Minicon[sic] 8 Pack gives no indication whatsoever what continuity these eight Mini-Cons hail from. In 2015, the Facebook version of Ask Vector Prime simultaneously established the pack members as Unicron Trilogy Mini-Cons and Generation 1 sometimes-Micromasters.
