''Tell me about it"
Hey there, my name is Ironhide, but you can call me 'Hide. I've been on Earth for about about 5 years years, but have been RPing for 6 years (about). Along with this character, I tend to make the lives of KITT, KARR, Ravage, Cira Knight, Sam Witwicky, Mudflap, and Freelancer Tex a living hell. Just so you know I found this site by Arcee.
"Damn I'm good."
Character's Full Name: Ironhide
Biological Name: " "
Nicknames: 'Hide
Age: about 35 or so in human years (? correct me if I've estimated wrong please, along with his time on Earth...I don't really know.)
PB: N/A
Species: Autotbot
Side in the war: Good
"There is more than meets the eye."
Personality: (copied from TF wikia cause im lazy) Ironhide is the Autobots' resident weapons specialist and Optimus Prime's old friend. He is old because he is hard. He's probably had enough replacement parts to build a small army, but Ironhide doggedly refuses to roll over and die for anyone if he can make it happen. He'll fight to the bitter end and take down more than his fair share of Decepticons in the process.
Ironhide doesn't always see optic to optic with Prime, despite their friendship. He's perhaps the more practical of the two, and more than a little trigger happy, so he can be more willing to push the Autobot code to the limit if he thinks it will get the job done faster.
He has more guns than a smaller third-world country, and he may or may not have blown up a planet with said guns.
Also, from what I've seen in the movies, Ironhide has quite the rebellious attitude, and is fairly temperamental. You don't want to get on his bad side.
Likes: the Autobots, fighting, weapons/explosions, pwning Decepticons, likes to improve his fighting style, likes melee, enjoys target practice.
Dislikes: "Punk-ass Decepticons", annoying humans and animals, babysitting, lying, losing a fight
Fears: losing Autobot friends or human allies in battle, losing Chromia, being surpassed by any rival Decepticons
Your Greatest Strength: Ironhide is an amazing fighter like Optimus and a few of the other transformers in this RP. He's quick to draw his weapons and can easily make an uneducated Decepticon have cold feet in any battle if you manage to push the wrong buttons. Despite being a bit bulky in form like Prime (and more so), Ironhide has a grace that somehow exceeds that of a giant troll. Ironhide is excellent at close range combat. However if given the right weapons, Ironhide has excellent aim can shoot down a wide range of moving targets, perhaps even Ravage would have trouble avoiding his aim. Ironhide is resourceful and spontaneous, "Ironhide has the ability to locate things with his eyes (an ability not connected with the sonidar sensors), shoot sticky goo from his arms, pop a rocket launcher out of his back and a drill out of his arm."
Your Greatest Weakness: All though not human, Ironhide sometimes sees Chromia as one of his greatest weaknesses, they've been friends for so long they've always looked out for each other. All though some Decepticons have yet to take advantage of this, Ironhide knows that Chromia would be one of the first Autobots he'd sacrifice his spark for if it came down to it.
''Fate rarely calls upon us at a moment of our choosing"
Family: Beings that Ironhide's techno-organic son is Alexander Matthew Stevens, at one point Ironhide had a wife whose last name was Stevens, but she is deceased. ((I'm not aware of any other family members other than his son so someone correct me if I need to add anyone!))
History: Quoted from Sakina
"Reliability is the keyword that can be used to describe one of the oldest of the Autobots, Ironhide. Having travelled across the universe hundreds of times over the centuries, the Autobots' weapon specialist is probably the most battle-worn and it is most evident in his war-torn body. Ironhide has incredibly tough metal skin, from which his name is derived. With shrapnel all-over his body as a result from hundreds of battles, right-hip bypassed uncountable times, his timing system and power core are irregular but his optics are the sharpest and most effective ever on Cybertron.
Despite being known for being part of the Autobot security detail and Optimus Prime's bodyguard, Ironhide can be most often seen in the capacity of a warrior, often fighting in battle without Optimus Prime, or a specific worksite/person/cargo to protect. He was also used as an officer, leading a team of Autobots just as would Optimus's advisors, Prowl and Jazz. Ironhide seemed to develop a bond with the Autobots' human allies, engaging with them on a friendly basis as much as protecting them. Ironhide was in love with the female Autobot Chromia."

Custom Title: Weapons Master
RP Sample:
KITT coasted through the slightly windy and bumpy road while the ion boosters were activated at full power, mini contrails of blue energy rocketing behind him. After deactivating the boosters and drifting around a sharp bend, KITT drove at impressive speeds up a shorter knoll up a head.
He tracked the racers. Their track angled away from him for a while, thus putting him in their blindspot and out of view again as he rounded another knoll, activating turboboost again, his speed doubling as it had before.
As KITT moved, he debated. He was debating about his first two options still. Join or stop. Stop or join. Which seemed more worth the effort for him? Granted these racers were causing ruckuss, recklessly passing through the intersections avoiding traffic by a hair at every other second, the sounds of their engines and squealing tires disturbing the peace.
KITT liked to protect his humans, but he also liked to have fun. KITT had one of his original abilities, an ability he'd had back when he worked at Knight Industries (the new FLAG) : the ability to shape shift and change his paint job, decals, and license plate thanks to his advanced nanotechnology.
KITT turned onto another off road around the farther side of the sector the racers were on to their right, angling in perpendicularly even more now. KITT shifted gears again, and transformed into a white police car that matched the others in Tranquility, and began to blare his sirens as he then drifted around a wide, nearly empty bend. He scared some pedestrians, but this was common with Cops when they ripped down a high way or the suburbia.
From an intersection to their right, Sidedrift would suddenly hear the wailing sounds of a lone cop car screaming down at abnormal speeds for a sports car down the upcoming intersection to her right, ready to single handedly scare the entire race to a garbled mess of surprise. The scanner on the cop car was partly tucked away from view because of the thick black bumper guards at the front, the double red scanner was hard to see, but it was definitely there.
