Explanation of the conversion: Although this write-up is meant to represent Ironhide as a Generation Two Go-Bot,
it also works for him as a Transformers: Universe Spychanger.
History: Ironhide was eventually reformatted again as an Autobot Go-Bot, in the form of an Earth pickup truck.
Trivia: On the Transformers television show, the voice of Ironhide
is played by actor Peter Cullen. The toy for Generation Two Ironhide was
rereleased in cowhide in Robots in Disguise and black colors for Transformers: Universe. The toy of Ironhide is similar to
the toys of Motormouth and Ox. Ironhide shouldn't be confused with Ironhide II, an Autobot who turns into a Hummer, or
Ironhide III, a Maximal who turns into an elephant. A toy for Ironhide which more closely resembled the way he was depicted
on the television series was released at the Botcon 2005 convention.
Powers: Ironhide is incredibly fast and brave. Has always been a stubborn survivor with incredible strength - he now
has the speed to go with it! Re-engineered with dual carbs and cam shafts that add incredible "kick" to his
twin-turbo power plant! Can reach speeds of over 235 mph. Traded old armor plating for new, lightweight alloy construction. He has a sophisticated
sensor array capable of scanning for a variety of energy types. Special retractable nozels in his hands allow him to
shoot charges of molten metal or super cooled liquid nitrogen.
He carries a high powered laser which he can use in either form. Ironhide sometimes utilizes a standard Autobot jet
pack.
Weaknesses: Ironhide is stubborn and many younger Autobots consider his views antiquated. He is highly protective
of all life, organic or mechanical.
