Optimus Prime and Iron Man Tell Me His Name Again

Ironhide was the Autobots' resident weapons specialist and Optimus Prime'due south old friend. He probably had enough replacement parts to build a small army, simply Ironhide doggedly refused to roll over and dice for anyone. He would fight to the biting end and accept down more than his fair share of Decepticons in the process. nothing was going to stop Ironhide, not even getting stabbed past Crowbar.

Ironhide didn't always see optic to optic with Prime, despite their friendship. He was possibly the more practical of the two, and more than than a little trigger happy, and so he could be more willing to push the Autobot lawmaking to the limit if he thinks it will get the job done faster.

Biography [ ]

Ironhide was one of Optimus Prime's oldest friends, and fought alongside him in the Cybertronian War.

Transformers [ ]

Responding to Bumblebee's call for help, Ironhide and the other Autobots nether Optimus Prime'due south direct control came to Earth, with the old soldier landing in a suburban pool. As he climbed out of the water, a little human girl asked him if he was the tooth fairy earlier he rapidly hid behind some trees when the child's parents exited the house. He scanned their GMC Topkick truck and transformed, leaving the residence. He linked upward with Jazz and Ratchet, and they proceeded to the rendezvous point, where they met up with Optimus and Bumblebee. Later on meeting Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes, Ironhide displayed an eagerness to show off his cannons, and made a classic Clint Eastwood impression to prove information technology by saying "You feeling lucky, punk?" (which earned him an instant reproof from Optimus).

Going to the Witwicky residence, Ironhide was urinated on by Mojo. This unpleasant state of affairs was fabricated worse by Sam Witwicky'southward frantic refusal to let him shoot Mojo. Ironhide relented, despite the fact that it would cause rust. He also suggested shooting the parents, as they were interfering with Sam's search for Captain Witwicky'south spectacles. Optimus reminded him that they don't hurt humans and scolded his weapons expert, to which Ironhide meekly responded that he merely thought it should remain an option.

Afterward Sam, Mikaela and his parents were captured by Sector Vii, Ironhide and the other Autobots captured the S7 agents by instantly disarming them of their weapons, then rescuing Sam and Mikaela. Unfortunately, their escape was to be short-lived, every bit Bumblebee was captured by Sector Vii afterward saving Sam and Mikaela'due south lives. The side by side morning, when Optimus Prime was pondering their adjacent motility, Ironhide asked why they had to relieve the humans, prompting Prime to remind him about freedom and sacrifice, concluding that the humans need not pay for the mistakes of Cybertron-kind, and if need be, he would destroy the AllSpark by fusing it with his own spark. Inspired past his words, Ironhide debated no farther, and the Autobots set out for the location of the AllSpark, Hoover Dam. Halfway there, to their surprise, they saw Bumblebee leading a cavalcade of Sector Seven assail vehicles, and so Ironhide and the balance of the Autobots joined the unit.

During the concluding battle at Mission City, Ironhide realized that the F-22 Raptor that appeared to be providing Captain Lennox's troops with air cover was in fact the Decepticon Starscream. Ordering the others to take encompass, Ironhide and Bumblebee lifted a discarded truck total of Furby toys to protect the humans against Starscream's strafing run. It worked, but the explosion threw Ironhide back and crippled Bumblebee. Soon afterwards, Ball attacked, forcing Ironhide to somersault to avert the Decepticon'southward missiles.

Ironhide and Ratchet took it upon themselves to protect Sam from Starscream and Blackout as he made his fashion to a rooftop where he could laissez passer the AllSpark to a military helicopter. Unfortunately, Starscream blocked off Sam'due south path, prompting the Autobot guardians to engage the more powerful Decepticon immediately. Subsequently taking several missiles in the gut, Ironhide implored Sam to keep running.

After the destruction of Megatron and the AllSpark, Ironhide somberly cradled the torso of the fallen Jazz while Ratchet informed Optimus Prime that there was nothing they could do. Ironhide later rode Captain Lennox dwelling to his wife and baby daughter.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen [ ]

Two years after the Boxing of Mission City, Ironhide acted as an Autobot support unit in Shanghai every bit NEST hunted for Decepticons. When Major Lennox told him that they had echoes of free energy readings, Ironhide assumed robot mode and confirmed that their target was nearby, saying he could smell him. Unfortunately, the Decepticon in question turned out to be Demolishor. Ironhide chased after the massive Decepticon equally it roared through the streets earlier Optimus Prime number was deployed from the air and attacked Demolishor, allowing Ironhide to jump on his construction and shoot out his massive bike, sending him crashing into a warehouse. Ironhide stood with his commander as Optimus prepared to evangelize the killing blow, listening to Demolishor's warning about The Fallen's return before he died. Ironhide returned to base of operations, resting in his alternate way in his hangar while Optimus conferred with William Lennox, General Morshower and Theodore Galloway.

Subsequently, Ironhide accompanied the Autobots to rescue Sam Witwicky from Megatron and Starscream, but was also late, for the revived Decepticon leader had killed Optimus in combat. When Ironhide returned to an American air base of operations with Optimus' body, he was surrounded by armed forces forces under Galloway, who had managed to secure NEST'south deactivation post-obit multiple Decepticon attacks around the planet. Furious that the humans dared to point a weapon at him, Ironhide nearly lost his temper, but Lennox convinced him to non turn on the non-NEST soldiers. Ratchet recommended leaving Earth, but Ironhide argued he believed Optimus would not want them to carelessness the humans, obviously condign leader of the Autobots in the procedure.

Ironhide and Ratchet moments before the Battle of Arab republic of egypt

Ironhide was to retreat with the other Autobots to Diego Garcia until Lennox received a message from Witwicky and his friends to come to Egypt, having figured out the Decepticons' scheme. Lennox managed to pull a fast one on Galloway into jumping out of the aeroplane carrying the soldiers and Prime's body, while the rest of the Autobots in the second plane quickly cut through the nets containing them. Ironhide then advised the coiffure to open the doors and let him out of the plane. NEST parachuted into a small village almost the Pyramids, but soon lost communication when Starscream released an EMP boom at them.

During the defensive operations of NEST's position, Lennox decided to send a team to locate Sam, and Ironhide and Arcee immediately announced that they would lead the team. Transforming to vehicle mode, Ironhide rolled out with a number of soldiers and Arcee. After finding the humans, they were ambushed by several Decepticons, with both Arcee and Ironhide hit numerous times while providing encompass burn for their friends, and told Sam and Mikaela to run while they drew their fire. Ironhide survived, albeit heavily damaged, and had to run for his life (ejecting his weapons in the process) when a United States Air Force B-1B Lancer bomber arrived delivering 2000-pound JDAM bombs, obliterating the remaining the Decepticon troops in the expanse. Momentarily prophylactic, Ironhide and the others witnessed Sam resurrect Optimus Prime with the Matrix of Leadership, and his leader'south subsequent defeat of The Fallen.

Transformers: Nighttime of the Moon [ ]

In the years since the defeat of The Fallen in Egypt, and with their human allies closely watching for signs of Decepticon activity, the Autobots have now dedicated themselves to resolving human conflicts, fearing that rogue elements of humanity might spark the sort of global conflicts that devastated Cybertron.

Ironhide was part of a human-Autobot joint strike team that took out a group of Decepticons dealing weapons to Earth'due south human being populace. When Divebomb attempted to apply Lennox, Galloway and another NEST soldier as a hostage to extricate himself from the situation, Ironhide blew a hole through the Decepticon, telling him non to threaten humans. This display of power was enough to make the remaining Decepticon, Fearswoop, give up unconditionally. Ironhide escorted Fearswoop back to NEST headquarters, keeping his cannons locked on the 'con at all times. When Sam called in that he was being attacked by a group of Decepticons, after the Brain Unit that he had stumbled onto, Ironhide was deployed to aid with the situation. Ironhides group arrived in Philadelphia just in time to rescue Sam from existence killed by Starscream'south hand. But Ironhide noticed something odd about the battle. The Decepticons weren't fighting back, merely trying to brand their getaway. The battle had turned out to exist a diversion orchestrated by Shockwave in guild to go to several Autobot refugees left backside at the NEST headquarters. Shockwave himself before long joined the battle, turning the tide in the Decepticons' favour. The Autobots managed to send Shockwave fleeing with his pet Driller, just only just barely.

Presently later returning to the NEST facility from a mission to capture an illegal nuclear power institute, Ironhide was inspecting a new weapon that Que had created when NSA Director Charlotte Mearing arrived to speak with Optimus Prime. However, Ironhide and Dino let the homo know that the Autobot leader was in a foul mood, believing that the Us government had lied to the Autobots about disclosing all of their knowledge near the Cybertronians, given the discovery of an engine fuel cell from the long-lost Ark at Chernobyl. Mearing professed that she had non had clearance to this data until now, and introduced the Autobots to NASA administrators and famed Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who explained the truth about their mission to the Moon was to explore the wreck of the Ark, and how they suspected that the Soviet Union had been trying to generate fissionable ability with the fuel cell.

After Sentinel Prime had been rescued from the wreck of the Ark and brought back to World, Ironhide rushed into the chamber where he had been reactivated past the Matrix of Leadership after hearing of a commotion. After Sentinel realized that he was among friends, Ironhide witnessed him explain how his pillars were key to activating his space span, a teleportation device that was crucial to the Autobot war effort.

Soon, Sam Witwicky discovered that the Decepticons had stolen hundreds of pillars from the Ark decades earlier, and were at present after Sentinel Prime number and the remaining five pillars he possessed to utilise the space span. As Scout, Bumblebee, Sideswipe and Dino neared the NEST base, Ironhide moved out to intercept their Decepticon pursuers, the Dreads. After colliding head on with Crankcase and Crowbar, Ironhide and Sideswipe forced the Decepticons to driblet their weapons after a tense "Mexican standoff". However, they deployed hidden spears, managing to hitting Ironhide in the shoulder with 1 before recommencing their assail.

The veteran Autobot caught a blaster tossed by Sideswipe to shoot Crowbar in the face, earlier pulling the spear out of his shoulder, impaling it into Crankcase's confront, slamming the Decepticon into an abandoned machine and boot the wreckage into a nearby auto shop, which exploded.

Arriving at the NEST base, Ironhide assured Sam and Colonel Lennox that he would protect Sentinel Prime from the Decepticons. Yet, the one-time Autobot leader had other ideas, explaining that he knew that they would never win the state of war, and to save Cybertron from destruction, a deal was fabricated with Megatron. Before everyone could react, Sentinel blasted Ironhide in the dorsum with his hidden cosmic rust cannon. Succumbing to the effects of the rust as it spread, Ironhide weakly demanded to know what Spotter had done, but the Prime callously stated that he was merely "discharging" the soldier from duty, and then fired a second smash directly at Ironhide'due south breast, sending more rust spreading across the Autobots body. As Spotter disappeared into the NEST base of operations to retrieve his pillars, The Rust spreads, causing Ironhide to die and fall apart from the rust.

Optimus avenged him with the death of Scout Prime.

Age of Extinction [ ]

Five years after the Battle of Chicago, Ironhide was listed as "deceased" past the CIA taskforce "Cemetery Wind".

The Last Knight [ ]

Ironhide's head appeared in the Junkyard all rusted.

Thousands of years ago, with Cybertron's energy reserves dwindling and the Transformer race splintering into warring factions, Ironhide was role of the Thetacons, violent militants who rejected the teachings of Sentinel Prime. He was part of the battle to seize the retrieved AllSpark from Spotter's ring, simply when that group used the AllSpark to revitalise Cybertron (proving Picket was right all along), the Thetacons lay downwards their artillery. Ironhide did not sympathize what the Cube was going to exist used for if not for subjugation, and Optimus informed him it was to spread "freedom". In gratitude, Ironhide spoke to his commanders nearly edifice a temple to business firm the AllSpark. In the unified Cybertron, Ironhide became a captain in Megatron's Cybertronian Defense force. He grumbled about working with inexperienced recruits like Starscream and Chromia, though he and Chromia shared a more merciful attitude than the rest of the force towards malcontents opposing Sentinel'south new gild. He visited Optimus during an archaeological trek past his Science Division, expressing delight at how they were proving many beliefs Ironhide had deemed invalid later on Lookout proved he was a Prime.

Later on, when Megatron had usurped leadership of Cybertron with Optimus to become Lord High Protector, Ironhide and commander Starscream were to study to him, but Starscream was late due to an encounter with hostile aliens from the Eshems Nebula. Afterwards, during an assault past the same aliens, Ironhide commanded the basis defense units in the city of Metrotitan, most the Simfur Temple. When Bumblebee and Cliffjumper were pinned down within the temple, they considered contacting Ironhide for suggestions on what to do.

Later the aliens were driven out and Megatron causeless his dictatorship of Cybertron, Ironhide found himself belonging to an increasingly violent and unstable military. He was present when Megatron ordered Starscream to deport some clandestine performance of which Ironhide did non accept part in. He and Chromia later saw Optimus Prime number and his team leaving later setting up a bomb subsequently defeating Starscream. The disenchanted Ironhide turned his back on the military after Megatron'southward declared Optimus'due south followers to be traitors, and that the army now flew under the banner of the Decepticons.

Disillusioned with what the military machine had go, Ironhide wandered far from Trypticon to search for answers, and so preoccupied was his thoughts that he was captured past forces loyal to Optimus Prime in Burthov. Brought before the rebel leader, Ironhide pledged his fidelity to Optimus's Autobots, stating that he had no desire to destroy the innocent, and he knew the Autobots to exist innocent of what Megatron charged them with. Besides, they needed somebody with his experience as a soldier. When the Autobots discovered that Megatron was edifice a massive warship, they thought it would be all-time to build one of their own, though they lacked the ways to do so. Ironhide, all the same, knew of a fix-er-upper that they could repair in secret.

As more gathered to Optimus Prime number'due south cause, a young Autobot named Sideswipe came to train nether Ironhide. After Ironhide showed him the ropes, he went on to be assigned to a settlement of displaced Autobots. That consignment went disastrously, as Demolishor massacred the unabridged settlement, leaving Ironhide'south student for dead. Sideswipe returned to the aforementioned unit every bit his onetime mentor embittered, suffering from survivor's guilt. Noting the new recklessness and ruthlessness that Sideswipe displayed, Ironhide attempted to reach out to his old pupil. Angrily, Sideswipe declared that he had grown beyond Ironhide's tutelage. Ironhide took part in several battles in Polyhex with Optimus Prime during the war.

As the war raged, Watch revealed he had constructed a torch that would end the war and prevent more deaths. It required the AllSpark to be activated, and Ironhide led the Autobot charge on Simfur Temple. Elita-1 successfully activated the torch and delivered it to Sentry, who boarded the Ark. The ship arrived at Simfur, but Starscream destroyed it. Ironhide carried Arcee and Chromia off the battlefield during the retreat. A vengeful Optimus led an assail on Megatron'southward citadel, and Ironhide stood by his side, sustaining heavy damage when he pushed Optimus out of the manner of the smelting pool. Optimus entered the citadel to confront Megatron alone, while Starscream and Shockwave attacked Ironhide. Optimus revealed the attack was a distraction from the theft of the AllSpark by Wheeljack'south Autobots aboard the second Ark, and opted to rescue his best friend instead of killing Megatron.

Optimus claimed they would accept the AllSpark aboard the Ark as they left Cybertron, but what he didn't reveal to all simply a select few was that they were really going to blast the AllSpark into deep space to both distract the Decepticons and to buy them valuable time. Ironhide was one of those who followed Prime on the Ark to chase after the AllSpark, which, unbeknownst to the Autobots, had locked onto the position of a Star Harvester in a distant star system.

Ghosts of Yesterday [ ]

During their long search for the AllSpark, the coiffure of the Ark encountered a foreign send in an abased star system. Ironhide identified information technology as Decepticon, only on 2nd glance wasn't then certain. Though he was all in favor of destroying the mystery craft in example it was a Decepticon trap, Optimus disagreed, believing information technology to exist of alien construction. As Bumblebee followed the send downwards to a planet, Ironhide appeared to express concern for his boyfriend, though he later dismissed this as not wanting their numbers depleted. Ironhide and Jazz backed up Optimus when the Decepticons sprang an attack on them, though Ironhide was growing increasingly uncomfortable with the passive tactics they were employing. He and Jazz ejected Bonecrusher from the Arks hangar. After the fight, Optimus departed to help Bumblebee, and left Ironhide in charge.

During a subsequent Decepticon attack, Ironhide and Jazz employed a new plan wherein Jazz distracted the foe, and Ironhide attempted to approach the Nemesis from a sensor blind-spot. The plan might accept succeeded had Starscream not chosen that moment to return from the nearby planet. Jazz was badly damaged every bit a result, and Ironhide had to work with Ratchet to return them both safely to the Ark. The return of Optimus and Bumblebee meant another boxing, and Ironhide was matched upwards confronting Bonecrusher. He managed to avoid getting hit for the about office, though he did suffer some damage to his armor. Following the Decepticon retreat, and Optimus'due south news that Megatron and possibly the AllSpark were located on World, Ironhide opined that Starscream would be reluctant to become there because he wanted Megatron to stay lost.

Alliance [ ]

In the immediate aftermath of the boxing in Mission Metropolis, Ironhide accompanied Captain Lennox and his soldiers, hunting for creatures created by the AllSpark energies. They had already destroyed 3 of the creatures when another one fled into a red minivan, which Lennox's men peppered with small arms burn down. Ironhide decided to show them what existent firepower was and blew up the van with i shot. Every bit the Autobots prepared to move out and flee the approaching Sector Seven and government forces, Ironhide placed Jazz's remains into a trailer Sergeant Epps had found, and together the soldiers had a moment of silence for their fallen comrade. A calendar month later, afterward he was approached by Amanuensis Simmons, Lennox requested the Autobots help escort the human convoy transporting the remains of the fallen Decepticons. Even so, the Autobots had been shadowed on their fashion to the meeting place past a police motorcar, whom both Lennox and Ironhide guessed was Battlement.

Ironhide and the other Autobots arrived at Sector Vii's secret Nevada desert installation to participate in the convoy that would transport the Decepticon bodies to San Francisco. He disagreed with Optimus Prime's decision to go out the AllSpark fragment in the custody of Sector Seven while they were away, but nevertheless respected his commander'southward decision. On the state highway, Optimus Prime had a alter of center and sent Ironhide and Bumblebee back to retrieve the AllSpark fragment. Unfortunately, Ironhide, existence the slower of the ii Autobots, didn't reach the base until after Wreckage and Starscream had caused significant expiry and destruction. During the cleanup, he could be seen comforting the injured Bumblebee.

Amongst the scene of devastation at Sector Seven'southward Nevada base, Ironhide praised Bumblebee for his backbone in attempting to defend the humans, but Bumblebee regretted that he could not save them all. Afterward Jazz'south burial two weeks later, Optimus Prime accustomed a proposal from Helm Lennox that the humans and the Autobots form a special unit of measurement tasked with defending their mutual habitation. The Autobots began preparation with their man allies on the isle of Diego Garcia, yet, the lack of coordination meant even Bumblebee showed upwards the humans. Ironhide opined that Bumblebee'due south shot was "awesome". Regardless of some teething issues, the team rolled out when the Decepticon Swindle was spotted in San Francisco.

On the plane trip to the city, Ironhide commented on the likelihood of Swindle and Dead End putting up a fight, and how he hated flying. On the safe, stable ground, Lennox gave orders, Ratchet and Epps were assigned to squad two, who would set the trap. En route to the Decepticons, Ratchet and Ironhide bantered about how the former's vehicle mode was more than suited to NEST's cover story of a chemical spill, while the latter asserted that he was the more stylish of the pair. After the Decepticons were tending of, Major Lennox and Optimus Prime number decided to ship Bumblebee back to the United States to over again assume the office of Sam'due south guardian. Ironhide reminded his little buddy to stay out of trouble, at least until the larger Autobot arrived to take over the protector role. Soon, more than Decepticons were spotted on Earth, and Ironhide was deployed to Italian republic to bargain with Fracture's team. After Reverband Gunbarrel had been destroyed, NEST forces led Fracture to Ironhide, who rammed the female Decepticon off the cliff road she was racing upon. Somewhere in the United States, Barricade managed to evade capture or destruction, forcing Ironhide to give Bumblebee alarm.

Ironhide was reunited with Sideswipe at Diego Garcia afterward the younger bot had answered Optimus Prime number's homing beacon and joined NEST. He plant that Sideswipe had inverse little, and if anything had go fifty-fifty more of a loose cannon in his pursuit of Demolishor. Unable to reach his sometime trainee with words, Ironhide was reduced to performing damage control in the skirmish at Buenos Aires, Argentina. Nevertheless, in the aftermath, Sideswipe saw the devastation he had wrought and the fright information technology engendered in the humans, begrudgingly albeit that Ironhide had been right all along.

Classified novels [ ]

On Globe, he and Optimus later used their erstwhile Polyhex tactics while dealing with a trio of Decepticons who attacked the Nevada Test and Grooming Range. As well he killed Tracer by shooting the Decepticon in the face up. Afterwards, Ironhide wondered if the humans might give them medals, but Optimus revealed that the trio had been communicating with an unidentified third party. Ironhide was annoyed when the humans subsequently kept them out of the loop. Optimus and Ironhide later traveled to Hawthorne Army Depot, where Reverb had uncovered an aboriginal cache of weapons, including a personal force field. This made it difficult for Ironhide to use his guns on the Decepticon, and even trying to punch Reverb resulted in Ironhide being knocked backwards and existence striking by Reverb's sonic cannon. He was also injured to practise much for the residue of the battle, though a missile he afterward fired proved that Reverb'southward force field had failed.

He was back up to fighting strength a month later, and helped Hyperdynamix exam their new image tank, though he well-nigh lost the battle with it. When Decepticons after attacked Hyperdynamix, he, Optimus and Ratchet went to defend the location, but had trouble locating the Decepticons in question. The game of hide and seek ended for Ironhide when he was sent past helicopter to Battle Mountain to selection up Gears, Bumblebee and Kevin Bowman, who had left the base without permission. To his disappointment, he arrived back at Hyperdynamix to find the three attacking Decepticons had already been finished off.

During a visit to Hyperdynamix Aerospace to learn about the HODDIS station intended to track incoming Cybertronians, and the satellite with which Dr. Porter intended to wipe out the Decepticons, incoming meteoroids were detected. Optimus, Ironhide and Ratchet and his team went to the crash site in Idaho, and found themselves having to fight the giant robot centipedes which came out of the meteoroids. Dubbing them "robo-pedes", Ironhide teamed up with Ratchet to accept down 2 of them before they could reach a human town, and had to follow ane into a lake to catch it.

In the years since the defeat of The Fallen in Egypt, and with their homo allies closely watching for signs of Decepticon activity, the Autobots have now dedicated themselves to resolving human being conflicts, fearing that rogue elements of humanity might spark the sort of global conflicts that devastated Cybertron.

Nefarious [ ]

Ironhide was role of the team that halted Alice'south binge afterwards the Decepticon stole an RV. He didn't contribute much to the battle, possibly because subtlety was called for. He joined Sideswipe in stopping three Decepticons fleeing a site in Utah. He warned Sideswipe of the possible effects of hubris, and rammed Reverb. When Dirt Boss seemed to surrender, Ironhide prevented Sideswipe from doing annihilation fatal to the Decepticon so they could have an interrogation, only Dirt Boss'due south give up was merely to let time for Soundwave to attack. Ironhide was pounced on past Ravage and then shot at past Soundwave, but luckily Optimus chose that point to come to their rescue and Soundwave was captured.

Ironhide began preparing an old nuclear shelter in Texas to house Soundwave, though he was sceptical that the Decepticon would reach it. Every bit it turned out, he was right, and Soundwave escaped en route. When he heard Galloway was under Decepticon assault, Ironhide put frontwards the opinion that the man was a "hurting in the aft", but Optimus reminded him they should still help.

Soundwave led the Autobots to the location of the Initiative base in California, but it was gone. Ironhide figured that it must have had something to practise with the recent mysterious activities. Soundwave's research relocated the base of operations in Utah, then the Autobots collection at that place and attacked, simply to find themselves facing brainwashed Transformers. He and Ratchet fought on, ramming a bunch of the foe in their vehicle modes. They felt the effects when Carter Newell attempted to destroy all Cybertronian life on the planet using the AllSpark constructed past the Initiative, however the battle turned in the Autobots' favor and they eventually triumphed.

Rising Tempest [ ]

Ironhide was part of a human-Autobot joint strike team that took out a group of Decepticons dealing weapons to Globe's homo populace. When Divebomb attempted to utilise Lennox, Galloway and another NEST soldier equally a hostage to extricate himself from the situation, Ironhide blew a hole through the Decepticon, telling him not to threaten humans. This display of power was enough to make the remaining Decepticon, Fearswoop, surrender unconditionally. Ironhide escorted Fearswoop back to NEST headquarters, keeping his cannons locked on the 'con at all times. When Sam called in that he was beingness attacked by a group of Decepticons, after the Brain Unit of measurement that he had stumbled onto, Ironhide was deployed to help with the situation. Ironhides grouping arrived in Philadelphia merely in time to rescue Sam from beingness killed by Starscream's manus. Just Ironhide noticed something odd about the boxing. The Decepticons weren't fighting back, only trying to make their getaway. The boxing had turned out to be a diversion orchestrated by Shockwave in gild to get to several Autobot refugees left behind at the NEST headquarters. Shockwave himself before long joined the battle, turning the tide in the Decepticons' favour. The Autobots managed to transport Shockwave fleeing with his pet Driller, but only just barely.

That mega-bazooka of his has been with him since he was a proto-bit. During the state of war, Ironhide ran preparation missions for the younger Autobot recruits. These missions would frequently have the recruits thrown into the sharp end: one, involving Signal Flare, Strongarm and Skyblast, abruptly turned into a raid on a Decepticon base of operations and rescuing a prisoner. He as well adult skills at resisting psychic interrogation techniques.

Even before the war began, Ironhide loved weapons. Goose egg made him happier than travelling to some remote asteroid field where he could let loose and blast rocks to his spark's content.

He would afterwards be one of iii Autobots who tried to prevent Megatron from reaching the AllSpark. They hadn't, however, expected for Brawl to be demented enough to ready off a foldspace warhead at pointblank range - a weapon that warped everyone to different parts of the galaxy. After spending some fourth dimension planet-hopping, Ironhide detected Ratchet'due south homing signal and headed for it. En route, he was captured past an alien spacecraft, ane that appeared to belong to immense entities that created the AllSpark and wanted it back. Ironhide, shrugging off a psychic probe, worked out these entities were an illusion - the transport was a derelict that had been salvaged by a grouping of aquatic aliens who wanted to discover & exploit the AllSpark. Ironhide removed their power to do so past taking the derelict's device that tracked downwardly AllSpark free energy. While he and then went on his way, he was left wondering what race had originally owned this vessel and what their connexion to the AllSpark was...

Later on meeting upward with Ratchet, the two began searching for Jazz. They found he was the prisoner of a living, predatory planet; Ironhide reasoned with the planet to let their friend get (i.e. shot it repeatedly with his slag-off swell cannon) and they took him back to Cybertron with them.
