"Captain, you realize that violence is the last resort of the stupid?"
"Of course. [The intelligent] are bright enough to resort to violence long before last resorts are required."

-Schlock Mercenary, paraphrased

"... by calling in a [mech] whose main problem-solving algorithm consists of "Does it have a face I can punch?" and "Are there any intervening objects that would impede the trajectory of my fist?"

-The Comics Curmudgeon, paraphrased

Ironhide is the weapons specialist of the Autobot faction of Transformers, one of the oldest Autobots still in existence, and Optimus Prime's oldest friend. He's chronically grumpy, occasionally trigger-happy, and prone to inappropriate enthusiasm at times- but you won't find a better warrior or stouter ally once you get past all of that.

Just smile and nod, and don't bring up Chihuahuas.

(Ironhide is from the 2007 live-action Transformers movie, and goes AU after that because Rise of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon make my teeth hurt, a lot. He is the property of Dreamworks and Hasbro and Takara. He appears here solely for the purpose of role-playing in various games, from which no profit whatsoever is being made.)

Reference material to be kept in mind re: Ironhide and his world as I see them can be found under the 'things to remember' tag in his journal. In particular, I am endeavoring to keep track of any 'bots or locations that he's mentioned so as to keep up with which characters from other continuities exist in his particular neck of the multiverse. That post is found here.
