Armorhide is a freshman student at the Acadeimos Autobot Academy with Iron Skin.

## Official Bio

*Armorhide's the most durable student in Class 4-D... and unfortunately, the most unlucky. Every time he tries to prove his worth, some sort of craziness happens that ends with him unhurt physically, but humiliated. This has had a bit of an impact on his self-worth as a result, but who knows. One day, he could be a great hero. Maybe.*

## History

### Before Joining the Academy

Armorhide was the son of comedian Armorhide Sr. and Roadbuster's daughter. Along with his older brother Huffer, Armorhide grew up in Rodion, and at some point got into a relationship with an unknown girl, though they eventually parted ways.

In Aspire to Greatness Armorhide was running through the streets while Hot Shot looked up at Star Convoy.

Armorhide learned of his talent when he crushed a villain's truck simply by getting hit by it after walking into the street, resulting in him being admitted to Autobot Academy.

### Freshman Year- First Semester

During Bionics vs Biologicals, Armorhide was among the Cybertronians aboard the *Xanthium*, sitting in the bottom floor. When the Freshman students were dropped into the Forest of Trials, Armorhide, made it to the ground, and was able to meet up with X-Brawn, Arcee, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Thunderhoof and Moonracer. They were later joined by Lightbright, "Mini", Tap-Out, Glyph, Rampage, Transmutate and "GorillaBot".

Not long after, the group would find several other Freshman students who were being lead by Hot Shot. When the group couldn't decide whether to follow Hot Shot or "Mini", particularly with the arrival of Steeljaw, who advocated that they follow "Mini". Eventually, they decided to split up, and Armorhide decided to follow "Mini" and Steeljaw. Eventually reaching the Simulation Site, the group were surprised to find that Hot Shot's group had arrived at the same time as them. Deciding to spread out into smaller groups, Armorhide paired up with Lightbright, and the pair soon found a door, with a tunnel behind it. Before they could investigate it, however, the pair were attacked by a mechanical spider. Armorhide attempted to strike it when Lightbright distracted the spider, but instead got a face full of gunk, knocking him out of the fight. Once the fighting subsided, Armorhide joined the rest of students in heading down the tunnel, and finally arrived at the Academy.

In Day One, Armorhide was sorted into Class 4-D under the tutelage of Hot Rodimus, where he answered his name when it was called out during the register.

During Enigma of Sari Sumdac Armorhide was in his homeroom class when the Plumbers arrived to retrieve Sari Sumdac.

Later in Fight Sim Club Armorhide was placed on the "villain" team during the first weekly training exercise held by Kup.

In Hatred on the Net Armorhide attempted to ask Nightracer if she wanted to hang out with him and his friends, only to wish her a good day and leave when she told him to go away.

During Jaws of Steel, Tongue of Silver Armorhide watched with confusion as Thunderhoof flexed in front of him.

Later in Naught but a Game Armorhide was placed on the "hero" team for another training exercise, where he was required to bring a ball to a goal. Despite Hot Shot's efforts to stop him, Armorhide's talent protected him from the kick, allowing him to make it to the goal and win the exercise. The next day, Armorhide was still happy about his win when he spotted a sign up sheet for a new sport known as Armorball. Deciding to investigate, Armorhide headed to the Sports Arena after Nightracer refused to act as backup, where he found X-Brawn chasing Wasp with a bat. Asking what was going on, Armorhide learned from Bumblebee that some of the other students were developing a game based on the training exercise he had won, and were planning to tell him once the rules were set up. After eliminating bats from the game, Armorhide headed off, deciding things were looking up for him. However, that night Armorhide had a dream where several girls, Nightracer included, were swooning for him, only for him to be shot by the bartender, causing Armorhide to wake up and decide to start taking his medicine. In the morning Armorhide worried if the dream was a bad sign, only for Bumblebee to tell him that the sophomores were occupying the Sports Arena, leaving the freshmen no where to play Armorball until Armorhide suggested they find a clearing in the Forest of Trials, leading him to dismiss his dream when Bumblebee agreed with his idea. Unfortunately, the group wound up getting lost in the Forest, resulting in them arguing about what to do until "Mini" returned with a butterfly he got painted on his face in the C.D. Pub. With the group unsure about how to proceed, Armorhide decided that since he was the one that inspired the game, he should be responsible for investigating the club, and that the group should give him an hour to do so before moving on without him. Accompanied by Artillery to ensure he didn't stay behind to have fun, Armorhide went inside and noted the amount of people there before coming up with a plan with Artillery. While she went off with Crystal Widow to check out the matter transporter in the back, Armorhide was offered a cygarette by one of the customers at the bar, who he told to go home. This attracted the attention of the bartender, who Armorhide apologized to until he saw that he was the same one from his dream, causing him to panic and run to Artillery, incoherently rambling about the bartender until she made him calm down. When Rampage entered the bar to look for the two of them, Armorhide came over and showed him the matter transporter, at which point Rampage went back for the rest of the group. However, the Insecticons then arrived, and Rampage's presence caused Kickback to inadvertently start a bar fight, which Armorhide ignored as he went over to the transporter, which the group used to return to the Academy before heading their seperate ways.

In Observations in Team Dynamics Armorhide attended the assembly Fortress Maximus held to announce the shadowing program, and when the principal told the students they all deserved to be there he was questioned by Sunstreaker if Steeljaw had recently used his clones to start a fight, only for Steeljaw himself to interject that they were criminals. Armorhide was assigned to observe Team Nyon with Lightbright, Mach Alert, Thunderhoof, and Tremor, and when the group had to wait outside Armorhide remarked how tired they all were. They were then greeted by Blurr, who Armorhide asked what it was like to have superspeed as they took a shuttle to Nyon. After being introduced to the rest of the team, the group went out to deal with multiple alerts, and Armorhide helped Santon rescue civilians from the ground floor of a burning building. Returning to the base, Armorhide smiled when Quickswitch asked how the visit had been so far, only for an alert to come in that Darkstream was attacking the city. Once they'd successfully caught him, Armorhide asked what they would do next, with Blurr responding that there would be more adventures. Once the week was at it's end, the freshmen were told they could have a place on Team Nyon after graduation, before taking a photo together.

During Transcription of the Soul Armorhide watched the students of Maximal Academy go through the Forest of Trials with Tap-Out and Nightracer, who he corrected when she incorrectly called one of the monsters a Ghidorah.

Later in Unexpected Burdens Armorhide was picked up by Thunderhoof while he searched for the missing baby Neophyte, much to his surprise.

In War of the Clones Armorhide was among the students being terrorized by the rogue clone Stinger until she was knocked out by "Azure Dragon". He then watched as the vigilante faced off against the clone Excellion II.

For the final training exercise of the semester in Zero to Hero Armorhide was tasked with a mission that turned out to be a no win scenario against pro heroes. He served as the last line of defense for the target, and attempted to stop Star Convoy and Pyra Magna from delivering the payload, only for Pyra Magna to easily push him aside. Though the freshmen failed the test, they now held the record for the longest time in the exercise. Armorhide then stood with a group of freshmen and looked out at Acadeimos Town while thinking about the future.

*During Primus Day* *Armorhide and Moonracer were invited by Bumblebee to join in a snowball fight and came with him, where he threw a snowball at Moonracer when she was distracted from having hit Longshot. He then threw snowballs at Tailgate, only to have a large snowball thrown at him. When Longshot offered to make hot energon for everyone, Armorhide asked for a cup, and went off with Moonracer to get a drink once the fight subsided.*

### Freshman Year- Second Semester

The next semester in Administration's Burden Armorhide joined several other students in the Forest of Trials to train their talents, with Fortress Maximus watching as Armorhide worked on blocking Thunderhoof to improve his own durability. Despite getting pushed into a rock, Armorhide was ready to take on Thunderhoof again, only for the Aerialbot Academy shuttle to fly overhead and distract the group. After the newly arrived Devil Trio challenged Lunajet to a fight to decide if they'd come with him, Armorhide decided to help the latter to make the fight more fair, but was surprised when Lunajet deployed laser turrets, though he then learned that they were merely flashlight drones. However, these didn't stop the trio, and Armorhide found himself punched in the face by Starbreak. Though his talent left him undamaged, Armorhide revealed that it only worked on physical hits, prompting Starbreak to start shooting at himand his efforts to avoid the blasts allowed Lightningshock to electrocute him. Further distracted, when she called him a cutie, Armorhide then had Lunajet thrown at him by Warpstrike, but this resulted in the pair merginging into the Powerlink Armorjet. Though Armorjet was able to defeat the Devil Trio, the Powerlink went mad with power and had to be taken down by Surge, leaving Armorhide and Lunajet knocked out upon seperating and requiring them to be brought back to Autobot Academy.

Armorhide was selected by X-Brawn to be part of the Acadeimos Ursatrappers Cube team, along with Lug, Hi-Q, and "GorillaBot".

During A Night for a Fight Armorhide made plans to visit the Museum of the Primes with Thunderhoof, Mach Alert, Side Burn, and Powerglide, only to be disappointed to learn it was closed due to a robbery. Forced to intervene when Powerglide attempted to punch Thunderhoof as payback for insulting him, Armorhide then suggested the group visit the Rogue's Gallery instead, and once inside he told the others about all the villains the museum had statues of. However, when the doors began closing for the night, Armorhide was confused due to them not being given the chance to leave, and upon realizing that they were now locked in, Armorhide decided to go search for a back exit, taking Thunderhoof and Powerglide with him. While walking, Armorhide was scared by the noise of the thunderstorm outside, leading Powerglide to start insulting for his fear and clunky footsteps. However, Armorhide pointed out that he wasn't making the noise, leading the group to realize that an animated statue of Knight Convoy was following them. Though Powerglide chose to fly away, Armorhide was prepared to hold the statue down while Thunderhoof smashed it, but when statues of Arch Convoy and Zeta Prime came to reinforce the Knight Convoy statue, the pair chose to drive away as well, unknowingly passing by a cloaked figure. Meeting up with Mach Alert and telling him about the Electrum statues, Armorhide watched as Mach Alert blew the Arch Convoy statue up before running into the hall when Copshop revealed that shards of Splinter were in the room with them. Armorhide then pummeled Ricochet, but informed Thunderhoof that he could take all of his hits until "Mindfreak" came and used his mental powers to pin down Armorhide and the students, with only Side Burn slipping away. Luckily, Armorhide was freed when Side Burn used an EMP on "Mindfreak", and he and Powerglide were able to get Freezon to surrender by challenging her to a fight. Once the situation was resolved, Armorhide told Thunderhoof that it would be two hours before they could teleport back to Acadeimos, and asked Mach Alert what was bothering him about the ordeal.

Later in Journey to the Pyramid Armorhide was enlisted by Hot Rodimus to help him scope out a ship that had landed in the Forest of Trials, only to discover that the pilot was Rodimus' ex-girlfriend Cinder. Convincing her to let them come with her to the ancient temple she had discovered, Armorhide and the other students flew to the Hymeno Jungle on Apocrita and watched as Cinder and Rodimus used their powers to open the Blaze Seal keeping the pyramid closed. Walking inside, Armorhide was impressed that they hadn't encountered any traps, only to step on a button that several stone doors close, forcing the group to run through the hall to avoid getting trapped. Entering a large chamber, Armorhide was impressed by the size of the room, but when it started shaking after Cinder removed a golden orb from the center, Armorhide was shocked when a hand burst out of the wall. Cinder then revealed that they had uncovered a Waruder hive that the Decepticons had tasked her with locating, and Armorhide was forced to fight off the swarm she had attack them. Punching a Mudfighter in the face, Armorhide was knocked down when it punched him back and required Bumblebee to save him, only to be horrified when a smaller robot popped out of the chest of the Waruder Bumblebee had electrocuted. Armorhide then prepared to punch the Minicon, only for Thrasher to reveal that the Waruders were all being mind controlled by their suits into attacking them. Armorhide figured that suits only being temporarily deactivated by an electric shock meant they couldn't free the hive, and when Bumblebee pointed out that the Waruders could use the suits to fly to safety, Armorhide noted that would only work if they managed to destroy the control orb. Nevertheless, Armorhide still tossed Bee into the air so he could electrocute the entire swarm, and after Cinder was taken away by the authorities Armorhide told Thrasher that they'd help him out any time.

*In Festival Of Stars Pt. 1 Tournament Armorhide signed up for the Tournament of Heroes with Lunajet. Once there match was called up first by Nekomimus and Sharpclaw, Armorhide was annoyed that Lunahet chose to carry him to the arena and insisted that he wouldn't slow him down. Upon seeing that they'd be fighting Gridlock and Hightail, Armorhide told them that they wouldn't go easy on the pair, and once Nekomimus shifted the field to a desert environment and the Tournament Judge began the fight, Armorhide was able to resist Hightail's attacks and kicked her away. Unfortunately, Gridlock then landed on her, and Armorhide was shocked when the siblings then combined. Though concerned by the effects that Ravager was having on the environment, Armorhide wasn't fully onboard with Lunajet's plan to Powerlink until Ravager tossed a fireball at him, at which point he willingly formed Armorjet once more. This allowed the pair to move on to the next round of the tournament, with the help of some outsude factors.*

During Knowing Me, Knowing You Armorhide attended the gala held for the students of the various academies to honor their achievements, and he got himself a drink before listening to the speech Star Convoy gave.
