Ironhide was at the Autobot HQ along with the other Autobots. They were constantly looking for Optimus Prime who has disappeared for a long time. Ironhide, hearing this reminds him of a rumor that there is a great lifeform, not a human or a Cybertronian, but shaped like a human face but spiky, is probably being pursuited by Optimus Prime. The other Autobots was wordless when they hear this. So, Ironhide goes on a quest to find Optimus Prime by himself. And by the meaning himself, means himself alone. Although, he also has heard that the leader of the Dinobots, Grimlock is also chasing this lifeform along with the bounty hunter Lockdown.

- Ironhide : "I heard that there is a lifeform, not a human or a Cybertronian, but appears as a human-like head with spikes. I think Optimus is finding this lifeform all by himself."
- Autobots : "(Silence)"

Rival[]
Name : War Machine
Reason : Ironhide was walking in the rival arena. Impressed by the looks of the arena, suddenly War Machine came to Ironhide, saying that what is he and what is his objective here. Ironhide says he was looking for a lifeform that is being pursuited by his leader, Optimus Prime. War Machine, confused by Ironhide's words, says that the lifeform grants an enormous power to the one who defeats it. War Machine thinks that Ironhide was lying so he could just get the power. Ironhide, however, tells War Machine that WM is wrong, he never knew about the power all along. War Machine, still disbelieves Ironhide, prepares to fight while saying a tongue of an unknown being always lies. Ironhide, left with no choice, prepares to fight.
Connection : Both of them are one of the most memorable characters in their franchise. Both are also from the Marvel company, but for Ironhide, period. Once, Marvel has gained a copyright of the Transformers. Both are heavily armed with loads of weapons. Both are also a close friend and an ally for the "main" characters of their franchise.

Gameplay[]
Ironhide was a pretty slow character. But, despite his size that actually makes him a contact bruiser, his ranged attacks are actually more effective than his melee. His melee attacks are powerful, so does his ranged attacks. His ranged attacks are chainable and also variable. The ranged attacks can be charged for more power, but for a slower speed. Also, after charging it, the properties of the ranged attack also changes. Such as if Ironhide was charging an automatic weapon, rather than a rapid fire attack, it will launch a slow lightning-spear-like projectile. Note : The movelist shown will not show a "right stick left+ Square" thing, just right stick left thing. So, if it was a square move and one of the moves just commands to do a "left stick to the left" motion, you'll know what to press. Except for combos. All moves can be done in air. All of his ranged moves's charge time is just 3 seconds.
