Description
The most enduring and oldest is Ironhide. Transformers are conditionally divided into two camps. Positive autobots and negative decepticons. Our hero is an autobot, and his task is to protect secret objects and important people.
The main rule of an armored car is as follows: "What you can’t go round, you can blow up." He prefers direct and radical measures to combat the Decepticons. Characterized by a cocky character and stubbornness. He will challenge every decision and insist on his own. He gets into a fight with everyone who does not agree with him.
But behind the formidable appearance hides the kind nature of the machine. The episode with Ironheid's feelings about a broken toy shows that he is characterized by empathy and concern for others.
The armored car always despised people, but died, fighting precisely for them.

Despite the "advanced" age, Ironheid has excellent armor made of carbon steel and chromium. This makes him invulnerable in artillery battles. The autobot is 7 meters tall and weighs about 5 tons.
The transformation of the robot in the films takes place in a pickup jeep of the GMS Topkick C4500 model. His speed reaches 300 km / h and excellent cross-country ability. In the animated series, the hero turns into a Nissan brand van.
The armored car is also a specialist in close combat and is well-equipped. To fight enemies in the left hand of the autobot, a plasma gun of the most complicated design is hidden, and in the right - an energy gun with a range of up to 2 km.
