Ironhide

Ironhide, a Cybertronian male, was a battle-hardened warrior and one of Optimus Prime's oldest friends born during the same generation as the Autobot leader and fellow Autobot Ratchet. Before the outbreak of the Great War, Ironhide was assigned by a societal caste system to serve in Cybertron's military ― since the majority of his faction's members were never soldiers before the war, this made him one of the toughest Autobots out there. Despite his close friendship with Optimus, however, Ironhide wasn't afraid to admit he didn't always see eye to eye with him and was willing to push the Autobot code to the limit if he deemed it more practical, in contrast to the Prime's idealism.
As the war on Cybertron progressed for countless millennia Ironhide was no stranger to loss. However, at some point it was discovered that an old friend whom had previously been considered deceased, Elita One, was still be alive. Ironhide journeyed with his sparkmate Chromia ― and Elita's sister ― to find and rescue her. Their mission led them beyond the reaches of their home galaxy and into the Andromeda galaxy, where they eventually found Elita on a remote planet battling against three Combaticons. Intervening in the fight, Ironhide's imposing presence led to the quick elimination of two of the three Decepticons, though the leader Onslaught escaped before he could be killed as well.
