PARTS - IRONHIDE
SEASON 2
First Appearance:
More Than Meets The Eye pt 1, Season 1
Character Description:
Y'know, it's funny. In the old days I was not a huge Ironhide fan. I always liked guys like Jazz (I was a kid, so sue me) and Optimus and Megatron and stuff. Nowadays I'm not so sure. After watching season 1 on DVD I realised just how bland most of the TFs were, especially the Autobots. Surprisingly one of the few standouts who wasn't characterised solely by their function (like Wheeljack or Ratchet) was Ironhide. I don't think I can give much of a better endorsement than that. --Jhiaxus.

In City of Steel, Megatron has taken over New York City and turned in into a sort-of-fortress called New Cybertron.

Ah. Now, here, the Autobots use some strategy. The Decepticons built this giant drill to bore to the core of the earth.

To defeat the Insecticons, the Autobots sent Cosmos, Bumblebee and Spike off-planet to fetch some Robotic Insecticide - however, they got more than they bargained for when some Morpobots latched on to Cosmos and started growing like weeds on Earth. With Cosmos stuck in a field of Morphobots, Ironhide tried to stop 'em with some unidentified liquid, only to watch as the Morphobots broke out of its solid coating.

Inferno, Powerglide and Ironhide transported themselves to Cybertron via Space Bridge in order to get Optimus Prime out of trouble, being that he'd gone on his lonesome to free Elita-1. With the Decepticons claiming to have killed Optimus by dropping him in a vat of acid, Ironhide angerly turned his own acid sprayers on the Decepticons. Too bad he missed, yes?
