Username: Stray_Dog
Name: Ironhide
Faction: Autobots
Alt Mode: | Vehicle Mode |
Appearance: | Robot Mode | - Concept by Ken Christiansen, owned by Hasbro
Personality: Cool and collected he is not, but there's never been a fight he's walked away from, nor any sort of trouble he hasn't been certain he could get through. Though generally a little grumpy and more than a little rough around the edges, Ironhide is loyal to his friends and his cause, and always ready to do what's right in order to fix what's wrong. Since being awoken from stasis, Ironhide has attempted to bring law to the lawless nuclear wasteland, painting a star on his hull and sometimes referring to himself as the sheriff.
Bio: Ironhide is one of the oldest Autobots, having known Optimus Prime before he received the Matrix of Leadership, when he was still Orion Pax. When the Great War began, Ironhide gladly followed Prime's leadership and became one of his most devoted soldiers. As an Autobot, Ironhide followed Prime aboard the Ark, but gave up his chance to escape in order to instead help hold off Trypticon and ensure the Ark was able to launch. Outnumbered, he was defeated but not before the Ark could complete its launch.
Seeing Trypticon transform into the Nemesis and pursue the Ark, Ironhide secured his own transport and pursued. With no space bridge to transport him, Ironhide raced across the universe toward the coordinates of the unstable space-bridge's destination. Eons passed, and eventually Ironhide's energy reserves were exhausted, putting him in a stasis lock as his craft continued on its course. He landed on Earth several years after the end of the war which devastated the small planet and his systems were adapted by wandering scavengers to run on biofuels. Having finally arrived, he immediately set out to find and aid his fellow Autobots.
