This article is about the character. For the location, see Guard.

DK-2 Guard is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family (via Generations Selects).

"No bio" is to be expected. "No name" is rather more rare.

We're not really sure who DK-2 Guard is, but here you go.

Generations Selects

• DK-2 Guard (Deluxe Class, 2022)
  • Series: Legacy
  • Accessories: blaster, shield

Generations Selects DK-2 Guard is a Legacy-branded black and red redeco of Earthrise Ironhide, who in turn is an extensive retooling of the Siege Ironhide toy. DK-2 Guard transforms into a van similar to Ironhide's original Nissan mode. This toy features a roof piece that converts into a shield in robot mode and can also become a giant four-barreled cannon. For a little extra firepower, DK-2 Guard also comes with a smaller "blaster". Conveniently, this gun can be stored on the underside of the shield, tucking away neatly in van mode.

Similarly to Ironhide, the figure's robot mode feet stick out conspicuously from the van mode's backside, but it is less obvious due to it being the same black color as the rest of the figure.

DK-2 Guard was exclusive to Hasbro Pulse in the United States, Canada, and the UK.

Notes

Unfortunately not a guardian for Diddy's Kong Quest.

• DK-2 Guard is based on the original 1982 Diaclone No. 2 Onebox Cherry Vanette toy that was colored red to become Ironhide when the mold was used in the first year of the original Transformers toyline. This Diaclone coloration was eventually released in 2008 under the Transformers brand as an e-HOBBY exclusive for the Encore toyline. (Unlike Guard, this release was characterized as a variation of Ironhide, dubbed "Ironhide Protect Black".) Guard's numerical designation, "DK-2", is derived from the ID number of the Diakron release of the Diaclone toy. Fellow Generations Selects toy DK-3 Breaker would follow a similar theme.
• DK-2 Guard's can be used as a stand-in for Shattered Glass Ironhide, but is not 100% accurate to his appearence in IDW Publishing's 2021 comic series.
