Fun fact; when Peter Cullen was asked in to audition for the role of Optimus for the 2007 live action film, they wanted to bring in a secretary (or whoever) to read the lines for ironhide. Cullen said something like "excuse me dear, but I'm familiar with this charcater as well"...and did the audition in both voices...ah to be a fly on the wall then

Everytime I hear "If animated got renewed for a 4rth season" my heart breaks a little more

"Taken offline by a Decepticon controlled copy of Optimus Prime." For once NOT an Underbase powered Starscream.

I wish Ironhide was in Transformers Prime. He would’ve been awesome.

So... Ironhide's a well recognized character, but doesn't appear that often in media. Odd.

I honestly NEVER KNEW Cullen voices Ironhide. It's ridiculous. I've been watching this show for 35 years.

Ironhide also known as the only autobot with character development in bayformers

"Everytime I look into a monitor, Prime, my circuits sizzle, when are we gonna start bustin deceptachops".

I do really appreciate how you present the less-liked series of Transformers.

Nobody: Ironhide: BUT *PRAHM*

Bayverse Ironhide and WFC Ironhide, plus the original, best Ironhides to me

G1 Ironhide all the way! And, nobody likes Energon Ironhide. 😆

Ironhide’s one of my personal top 10 Autobots. The mixture of some of his portrayals over the decades of being an old, experienced war horse, a competent fighter & soldier, to the recent revival in the new IDW series of him being Optimus’s most trusted friend really endeared me to him. 2007 Ironhide was my introduction to the character and was one of the things I legit liked about the Bay movies, and him getting an Elephant alt mode in Beast Wars was very fitting. His pairing with Chromia is also my personal favorite TF ship, and their toys are on my to get list for Siege. That said Im rather amused at how the name and character’s been rather screwed over the years: A lousy looking G1 toy, horrible deaths in both the 1986 movie and Dark of the Moon, his remains getting incinerated in Season 3, TF Animated cancelled and not letting him get a lead role, and of course Energon Ironhide. The Japanese dub of Animated even changed things in a very odd way; their dub had Bulkhead’s name be changed to Ironhide possibly for synergy and familarity. The already established orange Ironhide in the meantime was renamed to Armorhide instead.

Ironhide was my first Transformer back in ‘84 or ‘85. Coincidentally I found and bought the Siege Ironhide yesterday evening at Walmart.

The OG ironhide is my favorite autobot of all time and the movie Ironhide is my favorite live action autobot Wow didn’t expect this many likes!

Can we do his "brother" Ratchet next? He's one of my favorites.

G1 Ironhide: LIQUID NITROGEN!!!! Energon Ironhide: KICKER!!!!!!!! G1>>>>>>>Energon

Loved this one! Energon, while definitely NOT my favorite design, is my favorite characterization of Ironhide, along with animated, because they give the character time and room to grow. Also, the movie form's death was the only time I genuinely cried during the live-action movies. Both when he died (because of how he died) and when Sentinel Prime finally bought it. Justice for Ironhide, to quote emgo316's Mascot character.

When I found out that live-action Ironhide (and Barricade) were voiced by Jess Harnell, who is most famous for Wakko Warner in Animaniacs, my mind was blown so high it could reach Cybertron.

Bayverse Ironhide was really more like Trailbreaker. But either way he's my favorite version of the character by far. Ironhide needs cannons now.

Please make an episode about the Aerialbots. They're my favorite autobot combiner team.

I love that line from the movie, "Every time I look into a monitor Prime, my circuits sizzle. When are we gonna start bustin' Decepti-chops?!"

Congrats on 50k subs! You certainly deserve it!

You forgot to mention his cameo in the Bumblebee movie.

LEAKIN' LUBRICANT!!!!! also I love Ironhide one of my favorite characters.

Awesome . In my opinion ironhide is one of the best Autobots in most of the different tv shows and films . Great vid keep doing more awesome ones like this

Ironhide, ah yes, the Transformer that made me want to have a black 4x4, lol

I'm more familiar with the Energon incarnation of Ironhide. I thought that character in TF Energon was pretty cute,plus he had great character development from the moment he first fought Scorponok.

Energon Ironhide would have been at least a tolerable toy if the head wasn't sticking out in all modes. Maybe they were just trying to compensate for the G1 toy's complete lack of head?

My first REAL exposure to Ironhide (outside of seeing him die in the g1 film) was actually in the Transformers Autobots ds game, where he was the mentor to the player character. It was this game that made me really like the movie character, and made him the highlight of the first 3 films for me.

You're a saint for not trolling us and playing any of the voice lines for Energon Ironhide.

As a kid, Ironhide was always my favorite Autobot (Skywarp was my favorite overall) thanks to the cartoon. I still remember getting the toy home and thinking WTH?! when I saw his sticker-face. That was my first experience (beyond Thundercracker, which was my first TF, but who wasn't THAT far off) with the toy not looking a thing like the cartoon iteration, and I guess I was hoping that the picture on the box could be jurry-rigged in some form to look more like the cartoon. Still, I loved Ironhide's character, and it's weird that I never connected that part of that might be because of his Southern drawl (I'm Alabamian). And tbh, I wish they'd done more outside of the toyline to incorporate what Ironhide's, Ratchet's, and ftm, Prime's trailers could do, but you rarely saw hide or hair of them (in fact, aside from Roller turning up once or twice in the comics, did they EVER show the trailers stateside?).

Fun fact: Ironhide was used as the Japanese name for Decepticon Demolisher from Transformers Armada.

Energon will always hold a spot in my heart. It was my second series after all.

The cowboy voice is part of what made him so appealing. His death is one of the ones that hurt the most.

I Can't Stop Hearing Ironhide's Voice In G1 All Thanks To Peter Cullen.

Ironhide is the character that really got me into the Masterpiece line. It always annoyed me as a kid how the G1 toy was NOTHING like the sturdy character in the series, and the Masterpiece version corrects that!

G1 Ironhide is without a doubt, my favorite version of the character; not to mention the version my mind defaults to when I hear the name. However, I have been on an Armada-Energon kick lately for some reason and I confess... I do like Energon's version of Ironhide.

My favorite incarnation of Ironhide is from the first 3 Live-action TF films 🙌

It really is good when Hasbro consolidates a name into a character. There are a lot of really cool throwaway names that are waiting for a better use.

I loved my Ironhide toy. He was the first Autoot to look truly robotic. He didn't have the normal human proportions that most Transformers had. He was weird, different, unique. I didn't think of him as two units in one, but rather a robot on three treads with a glass face. Maybe there was some Short Circuit influence to my imagination, but I loved the alien look he had.

now this is a transformer i have been wating for

I just picked up the new figure, it's an excellent likeness, Great if you're a G1 fan.

These videos are my Saturday morning tradition. This series is amazing!

Yeah!! Can't wait to see him bust decepti' chops!!!😆

Could you please do the basics on Trypticon

“Liquid Nitrogen!!!” “KICKEEEEEEEERRRRRR”

If you look closely, Ironhide also appears in Bumblebee, though he doesn’t speak and is briefly seen getting into an escape pod.

Might just be me being a fan who started with the Unicron Trilogy, but I don't mind names being reused for different characters. Granted I do think the G1 Ironhide look is the most memorable version of him now, but I think it's easy to figure out that Ironhides of different stories are essentially different people (unless HasbroTakara does retcon it somehow...). It's like many different people named George or Steve, and TF IDW kind of joked about it with the two Tankors. The need for its reuse to hold up trademark is understandable though.

My fave is the bayverse ironhide, he is awesome, transforms into an awesome truck, and he is voiced by Wakko Warner.

6:07 *Diamondbolt has left the chat.*

Energon Ironhide was my little sister's favorite character growing up. He's still one of my favorite designs from that series!

Movie Ironhide has one of the few Bayformers designs I can actually tolerate. He unironically looks cool.

"Arrrrrrnhiiiiiiide!!!"

I was hoping you'd do Ironhide. I hope you do Ratchet and Jazz. Maybe Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Loved this, since G1 Ironhide was one of my favorites growing up! Glad to see him finally getting covered. Hope we'll see an episode dedicated to Jazz soon, too. 😄

BY FAR my favourite character (all the way since G1!). I have the masterpiece (on my desk, while 50+ others are on the shelf behind me) and will be following any media which includes him from now on. Thank you so much for this, Sir! So glad to hear that there's something coming in 2020! Til all are one!

Ironhide has been with me since I was a kid and my very first transformer and it's a genetic hand me down cuz my mother loved ironhide too before when she was a kid

Truth be told, I like Energon Ironhide, and Animated cause they’re both interesting and unique takes on a younger Ironhide. Outside of comics we don’t get to see many “younger selves” of any Transformers, Autobot or Decepticon.

Please, do the basics video on able to become invisible spy-bot Mirage. Please!

Ironhide has always remained one of my favorite characters. even if his role in stories as well as in the Autobots ranks is generally shared with Kup, who really comes across as Ironhide 2.0 at times. Especially whenever the two interact with Optimus.

Me reading the comments having it be that Energon Ironhide was my first Ironhide and still my favorite: "I like my rookiehide..."

You know, Ironhide was going to be featured in the Transformers: Prime cartoon, but he only made into the toyline, since Dark of the Moon killed him off, leading to him to be replaced by Bulkhead in the show.

Ironhide was a good character during the g1 lineup, I never got one as a kid because it didn't look anything like the tv show lol great video Chris

You forgot his appearance in the Bumblebee movie

G1 Ironhide: superior Energon Ironhide: inferior

Sudden thought, What about having Peter Cullen come back not only to V/A for Prime in the new LA reboots but as Ironhide as well!? How nostalgic would that be!? :D

Chris you really are the only one who can make energon sound interesting

All I can ask is a "Basics on Halonix Maximus" for April Fools. It'd be absolutely perfect.

Yesterday was my birthday. I will consider.this a birthday gift. Amazing video. And my favorite is the g1 style Ironhide

No matter who has the name, I also always get a sense of power whenever I hear the name Ironhide.

Fun fact, ironsides was also a boat that was famous for being able to deflect cannonballs, this could give ironhide's name a double meaning.

"Every time I look into a monitor Prime my circuits sizzle....When are we gonna start busting Deceptichops?!"

Could you do a Basics for the following: Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime- The Prime who succeeded Optimus Action Masters- Transformers without the transformation Space Bridges- Travel between galaxies in instants Energon- the lifeblood of cybertronians and all its variants Humans- the fleshy pals that tag along for better or for worse Maccadam- The oil house and its owner who spans continuities The War- What sparked this galactic civil war.

Finally, it's about time, Bayformers Ironhide is my favourite, I wish the same guy was in TF Prime, Kicking Decepti-Bumms

Man, Ironhide’s death in DOTM still hurts. RIP big guy.

I will admit I do like movie ironhide.

I like the Ironhide from the Bay movies. He looks so cool and he had so much talent. HIs death is one of the most sadest autobots deaths from all the movies. 😔😔

I love G1 Ironhide. There are so many Transformers characters KZfaq will die out before you have a chance to do them all. XD

YES The basics On My favorite Transformer!

again, PLEASE do the basics on jazz next

my favorite 2007 transformers ironhide

He is far my favorite character.

Energon Ironhide is one of my favorites as I have a toy of him, I ordered on amazon 6 years ago in 2014.

My favorite toy would have to be Masterpiece, though I have a soft spot for the 2007 movie voyager-class figure. As far as incarnation, either G1 cartoon or IDW.

BASICS ON ARCEE WHEN?!

I'd say Ironhide is one of those who has benefited the most in this era of Hasbro trying to consolidate names and ideas into one universal Transformers lore. My only thoughts on Energon Ironhide is how weird it is that Energon Inferno looks a lot like G1 Ironhide. Like sure I grew up with the Unircon Trilogy but you would be surprised how little of an impression Ironhide made, I remember Kicker more than him, when you said he had a rivalry with Scorponok I was like "whaaaat?"

While I should be the guy to say I like Energon Ironhide, to me the most prominent of Ironhide's "wilderness years" portrayals was the RID one. He was my first Ironhide and I always felt there was a definite level of inspiration for the movie alt mode coming from him as what would have been the most recent, relatively close to G1 version of him at the time the film went into production. I'd very much like to see him in that rawhide get-up again.

"Aw, gee whiz, Prime!"

You are the Real life Vector Sigma!!! Later when I go home after work im going to become a patreon of yours. Excellent work as usual!!!!

Awesome video!!! Your channel/videos are the reason why I got back into the series.

Ironhide was my favorite character in the cartoon. I even had his toy, but rarely played with it because it was nothing like the cartoon version. I was heartbroken when he died in the movie.

Bayverse were far from perfect. But Ironhide's character was absolutely perfect.

Who is the best veteran the Autobots have? Kup, Ironhide or Ratchet?

At the end of G1's episode of War Dawn, they slip up with Optimus Prime sounding like Ironhide

I love G1 Ironhide, WFC/FOC Ironhide and loooooove the bayverse Ironhide! One of the best incarnations of the bayverse line I truly thought they got right

Am I the only one who really like his movieverse design ?

I prefer Entergon and movie Ironhide, even though I've been a fan the franchise since 1984 I've never really liked this character.

My favorite version of Ironhide is G1 because of his serious personality.

Dude ironhide in the live action version looked so badass and we need to mention his BIG GUNS.
