One of the origional Autobots from the Transformers cartoon series. Ironhide was the bodyguard for Autobot leader Optimus Prime. Ironhide was a tough and loyal soldier who could transform into a van.

Ironhide met his demise in Transformers the Movie, when Megatron blasted him in the chest at point-blank range.

One other note: the Ironhide toy looked nothing like Ironhide in the cartoon or comic book. The toy sucked ass.
