Ironhide (G2)

The name or term "Ironhide" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Ironhide (disambiguation).

Ironhide is an Autobot from the Wings Universe portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The white guy behind Bumblebee.

Ironhide is a clone of the original Ironhide created by Jhiaxus as part of a "second generation" of Cybertronians. Like the original, he's a little bit southern and says "Leakin' lubricants!"

Fiction

Wings Universe

Wings Universe is based on the Generation 1 cartoon, but deviates from it in cosmetic ways and continuity points.

Jhiaxus, seeking to create a new unified faction of Transformers, "borrowed" personality components, forestonite, Hi-Q, and blueprints from Quantum Laboratories. One of his creations was a clone of Ironhide. A Flash Forward, Part 3 When Pyro and his team arrived on Qre, Ironhide and five other clones were presented to them as examples of the future of the Cybertronian race. Ironhide accompanied Soundwave to the storage area when the latter sensed movement, and was startled by the apparent emergence of Sideswipe from one of the tubes. A Flash Forward, Part 5 Following the destruction of Jhiaxus's base, Ironhide, Bumblebee and Mirage confronted the escaping Autobots, but Pyro talked them into returning to Earth with him. A Flash Forward, Part 6

Ironhide was hanging out at the Galadria Space Bridge Outpost in the Delta Prysmos Sector when a pirate ship appeared overhead and dropped a bomb on him and several other passersby. Hoist the Flag

Hoist the Flag's Ironhide appeared in the Power Master body, not the Go-Bot body. He wasn't specifically identified as the previous clone, another clone, the original back from the dead, or some other guy altogether. However, this clone is the only character named Ironhide known to be alive in Wings at the time.

Needs a bull painted on his chest.

• Ironhide (Go-Bot, 1995)
  • Accessories: Gun

Ironhide was repurposed from the original Ironhide's Generation 2 Go-Bot toy.

Part of the second wave of Go-Bots focusing on Generation 1 characters, Ironhide transforms into a silver Ford F150 Flareside pickup truck. Using through-axle construction for his wheels, he is compatible with most "Hot Wheels" and "Matchbox" play sets and tracks.

The mold is a redeco of Generation 2 Go-Bots toy Motormouth, and was later redecoed into the 2001 Robots in Disguise Spy Changer Ironhide, the Universe Autobot Ironhide, and the second Universe incarnation of Hoist.

I'm ambiguous!

• Ironhide (Power Master, 1995)
  • Accessories: 2 guns

Ironhide was repurposed from the original Ironhide's Generation 2 Power Master toy.

Power Master Ironhide was one of the last toys in the Generation 2 line, and was only released in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. Oddly, the Australia and New Zealand releases were in U.S. packaging, complete with Hasbro's Rhode Island address.

Ironhide (barely) transforms from a grey camouflaged Humvee into a dorky robot. His main gimmick is his "Power Master" pull-back motor, which you use by pulling back on his motorized rear wheels, then placing one of his guns into one of the holes above the doors, which releases a catch and allows him to zip along a smooth surface.
