Ironhide is a major character in Transformers Loud. He was once a loyal soldier in the Destron corps before realizing how twisted and villainous they had become, and then split off from them and help his commanding officer and close friend Ultra Magnus to create the Autobot Resistance, where he serves as the faction's main leaders, as well as the main muscle of the group.

## Personality

On the outside, Ironhide's as tough as they come - he's yesterday's model, but he's built to last. He's been through three long, hard-fought wars, and he isn't afraid to show why he's lasted for this long. Gruff and ornery, he prefers actions to words, and dislikes talk for talk's sake. He can easily tear a Destron Drone apart with his bare hands and can blast through a small squad on his own, thanks to his use of a large variety of weapons, and he'll keep fighting as many Destrons as he has to and bring down as many of them as he can in the process. He's also one that prefers to try and keep a tight ship, always trying to whip the men under his command into shape so they can deal with all the hardships they'd have to deal with on the frontline. However, this is usually to hide the huge, caring Spark in his chest. He cares immensely for his brothers in arms, always willing to lend a hand when needed and will go to great lengths to ensure their safety, as well as any other planets that the Destrons threaten to destroy. He'll provide unwavering support to up-and-comers he's decided have "the right stuff", although he may take his time in arriving at that determination.

## Abilities & Equipment

* Transformation
* Duel Pistols
* Shotgun

Ironhide uses a shotgun-styled gun as his main rifle. It's able to fire a massive spread-shot at a short distance.

* Rocket Launcher
* Armor

Ironhide is able to transmute his body into silver, indestructible armor that's able to withstand an enormous amount of laser fire, missiles, and melee-weapons.

## Relationships

### Ultra Magnus

Like the rest of his old compatriots, Ironhide respects Magnus a great deal, both as a leader and a friend.

## Notes

Ironhide's characterization in this series is made to give him a role similar to G.I. Joe's Sgt. Slaughter, taking his role of the literal iron muscle of the Autobots & how often he would act leader of the unit whenever Optimus was absent or the like and making him a tough-as-nails drill sergeant for the entire Resistance unit that has incredible strength and endurance, possibly out of everyone else on the hero's side. He even has his personal team that is modeled directly off of Slaughter's Renegades that act as a sort of splinter-cell, crack-commando team that does some of the more dangerous jobs that's made up of some very "unlikely" recruits.

Ironhide is one of several characters in this series to have his color scheme based off of his original Diaclone toy's black & red colors rather than his more standard red & grey color scheme. In addition to that, he's also been given his Colossus-style retractable/indestructible armor from his Animated counterpart, both as another way to make this portrayal of the character a little more unique and help boost his position as the Resistence's main muscle.
