Ironhide

## Biography

### War for Cybertron

He was a part of Optimus's team when it arrived to Corcapsia to aide Elita One and her team. After Optimus told Elita of Megatron's absence, he suggested that he might've went off-world. Moments later, after he killed a Leaper he was ordered by Optimus to lead a team of Autobots to incarcerate The Seekers. After recruiting his team, he ordered them to make their way to the Omega Point Fueling Station.

Upon arrival, he informed his team that Omega Point fuels Trypticon Station, and they're going to cut off the Fueling Pipe. He ordered Cliffjumper and Tailgate to send a series of explosions towards Trypticon Station and ordered Mirage and Blaster to cut the fuel, so they don't blow up a chunk of Cybertron. He and Sideswipe kept watched for the Seekers, until they attacked the Autobots. He was attacked by Ramjet and tried to fight him off and was saved by Sideswipe. After his team finished up prepping, he ordered them to fall back, only to be surrounded by the remaining Seekers. He and his team are saved by Mirage, and they all fled Omega Point. He then gave Sideswipe the Honor of blowing up the fueling line. He then ordered his team to return to Iacon to inform Optimus of their success. *War for Cybertron Part 3*

Though absent for the Battle of Kaon, Ironhide joined his fellow Autobots as they watched Cybertron's Fueling pipes turn purple. After listening to Nightra's warning, Ironhide rendered her unconscious and carried her back to the Stockade in Iacon.

In Iacon, he was recruited by Optimus to travel to the Core to stop Megatron. He boarded Fortress Maximus with his fellow Autobots, where they travelled to the Well of All Sparks, then to the core of Cybertron. After Fortress Maximus was attacked by the Decepticon Heavy Brigade and violently crashed, Ironhide pulled Elita One out of the wreckage. He then joined Optimus and Jazz in attacking Megatron, though their efforts only slowed Megatron by a little. After Elita One shot Megatron, he joined his fellow Autobots in surrounding Megatron, and watched as Optimus rendered Megatron unconscious.

He then joined his fellow Autobots back to Iacon, where Optimus gave the Autobots the grim news of Cybertron's fate. *War for Cybertron Part 5*

14 years later, he was signed onto Scattergun's team, where he joined Scattergun into the Battle of Vorsk. He was ordered by Scattergun to retreat, and Ironhide did so, only to be captured by Soundwave and his minions.

In Kaon, he was taken to Shockwave's Lab, where he and his fellow Autobots were cloned. He and his fellow Autobots were then taken to the Prisoner Hold by his clone, Scattershot. Within the Prisoner Hold, he tells Crosshairs that they have to escape, only to be given that opportunity when his clone, Scattershot, begins a prisonbreak. He was ordered to flee Kaon, and did so. He made it into the wilderness with his fellow Autobots and his clone.

Upon reaching the Gobotron Jungle, he thanked Scattershot for rescuing them. He listened in as Scattershot told the Autobots of his beliefs, before witnessing Blast Off and Vortex flying overhead. Later that night, he shut down to rest. The next morning, he was awakened to find a Skiff that Scattershot had found, and boarded it where the Autobots travelled to the Sea of Rust.

When the Skiff broke down in the Sea of Rust, Ironhide ordered his fellow Autobots to tear the skiff down and build a radar beacon with it, and aided his fellow Autobots in building the radar. Hours later, as an Autobot Shuttle and the Decepticons arrived, he mentioned that they didn't have enough energy to fight, before boarding the Shuttle.

Upon return to Iacon, he jumped off the Shuttle with Bumblebee, before speaking up for Scattershot when Rollbar arrested the latter. Later, he was approached by Optimus and asked what was done to him in Shockwave's Lab. Ironhide told Optimus that he and the others were cloned, and Scattershot was the result of that clone. *The Clone: Rise of the Omnibots Part 1*

His schematics were used to clone another Transformer named "Armorhide".

When the Omnicons infiltrated Iacon, Ironhide and Bumblebee got into a squabble with Armorhide and Scamper. After the brief squabble, Ironhide and Bumblebee witnessed as the Omnicons fled Iacon. After the Battle for Iacon ended, Ironhide informed Optimus that the Matrix Cha,ber had been attacked. *The Clone: Rise of the Omnibots Part 2*

A year later, Ironhide was one of the many Autobots to board The Ark when it fled Cybertron. After The Ark passed the SpaceBridge portal, it crash landed, and Ironhide was among those deactivated in the crash. *Fall of Cybertron Part 3*

### Earth, 1984

Millions of Years later, Ironhide was among the first Autobots to awake on Earth. He awoke on September 17, 1984 and was ordered by Optimus Prime to lead a team North of The Ark. He, Jazz, and Gears arrived in Seattle, where he scanned a Mini-Van. He entered the City with his team, where they were attacked by Sector 7. He was contacted by Optimus, and was ordered to rendezvous in Olympia. Ironhide and his team managed to escape Seattle, and met Prime's team in Olympia, where they were evacuated back to The Ark by Blaster. *More Than Meets The Eye*

### Earthrise

41 years later on January 3, 2025, Ironhide travelled to Armargosa Springs with Bulkhead and Strongarm while looking for the AllSpark, before realizing that Gears had disappeared. He ordered Strongarm to return to Echo Base as he remained in Colorado with Bulkhead. He eventually received Optimus Prime's message, warning him that the Decepticons have returned. He managed to make his way to Utah with Bulkhead, before being reunited with Strongarm, Hot Rod, & Swerve. He decided to search for Gears instead, and ordered everyone to head to Gears' last known location in Nevada.

In Nevada, he concluded that the Decepticons had captured Gears, before ordering his team to intercept the Decepticons in the Town of Jasper, Nevada. In Jasper, Ironhide engaged in a fight against Blackout and the Seekers. He engaged in a fight against Sunstorm and was threatened by him. He attempted to shoot Sunstorm, only to be knocked out by Thundercracker. He eventually got back up, only to be shot by Skywarp and teleported away by him. *The Arrival*He was watched over by Thundercracker, and interrogated by Sunstorm, and refused to cooperate. He was then rescued by a team of Autobots led by Jetfire soon after.

The Next Day on January 4, Ironhide was ordered by Optimus to lead a team to retrieve the AllSpark from Hoover Dam. In Hoover Dam, Ironhide led Crosshairs, Sideswipe, and Mirage there, and was refused to be given the AllSpark by Sector 7. Ironhide tried to negotiate with the Director, only for alarms to sound and came to the conclusion that someone else was after the AllSpark. He was informed by Mirage that the AllSpark had been taken, and Ironhide ordered his team to return to Echo Base. Back in Echo Base, Ironhide was shocked to see as Scattershot had returned to the Autobots. *The Rogue Autobot*

On January 7, Ironhide was among the Autobots recruited by Ultra Magnus to apprehend the Decepticons in Mission City, Nevada. Upon arrival to Mission City, Ironhide began firing on Strika, and injured her. Later during the battle, Ironhide witnessed as Scattershot attempted to sacrifice himself to destroy the AllSpark. *Mission City*

A month later on February 11, Ironhide was present at The Ark when Scattershot returned with a bunch of College Students. He began to bond with one, who was named Tessa Yeager. *Robots in Disguise*

Nearly a month later on March 3, Ironhide joined his fellow Autobots in attacking Optronix Prime's forces outside of Area 51. *Shattered Glass Part 4*

On March 23, Ironhide travelled to Watersville, Minnesota, where he helped Ratchet escort a gravely wounded Cliffjumepr back to Fort Max. *Once Upon a Time on Earth*
