Part of the first wave of the Overgear line, Ironhide is a roughly Voyager-sized figure that transforms into a six-wheeled armored pickup truck inspired by large American models, like the Ford F150. His robot mode design has cues from his Generation One and live-action looks, with a deco that is also reminiscent of his Diaclone predecessor. He comes armed to the teeth with a lot of weapons, an SMG, a handgun, a kukri-style knife, and last but not least, a massive gatling gun that doubles as a turret for his alternate mode. He also comes with a plethora of removable decorative accessories on a sprue.

Like all Overgear figures, Ironhide is loaded with 5mm and 3mm ports (39 in total), allowing him to be armed up with the various weapons and equipment from other figures in the line to enter an "OVERGEAR" state.

Ironhide was one of the first Overgear figures revealed, alongside his wavemate Blackout.

Notes

• Ironhide was chosen as the first Autobot in the Overgear line due to his rough and tumble personality and role as a weapons specialist embodying the spirit of the line's core gimmicks.
• Ironhide's human partner is a fairly clear reference to the relationship between Energon Ironhide and Kicker Jones.
