One of the origional
Autobots from the
Transformers cartoon series. Ironhide was the
bodyguard for
Autobot leader
Optimus Prime. Ironhide was a
tough and loyal
soldier who could transform into a van.
Ironhide met his demise in
Transformers the Movie, when
Megatron blasted him in the chest at point-blank range.
One other note: the Ironhide
toy looked nothing like Ironhide in the
cartoon or
comic book. The toy sucked ass.
