Transformers (2007)
Legends Class toys
- Ironhide Vs. Desert Blackout (Legends "Allspark Battles" two-pack, 2008)
- Only available in a two-pack with a desert-themed recolor of Blackout, Ironhide transforms into a licensed GMC Topkick. Amusingly, this version of Ironhide is one of only two American toy releases that have full-length exhaust stacks. Also, due to it's simplified design, Ironhide's arms stick out from the back of his trunk, And his vehicle mode seems to suffer from somewhat awkward proportions.
Voyager Class toys
- Ironhide (Voyager Class, 2007)
- TakaraTomy ID Number: MA-09
- Accessories: Left & right cannons, 4 missiles
- Known designers: Eric Siebenaler (Hasbro)
- Released in the second wave of Transformers Voyagers, Ironhide transforms into a licensed modified black 2006 GMC Topkick 4500 four-wheel drive pickup truck. Although Hasbro's official stock photos and early packaged samples featured two real-life accurate full length exhaust smokestacks behind the rear cabin, they have been slightly shortened for safety and durability reasons for the actual release of the toy. Otherwise, however, the vehicle mode is very accurate to the real prop truck... well, aside from the fact that Ironhide's massive missile launchers are quite visible underneath the vehicle. Despite rumors to the contrary, TakaraTomy's Japanese release of the toy features the same shortened smokestacks as the Hasbro version.
- Ironhide features an Automorph gimmick in his legs during transformation: As the user swings down his feet, all of the panels that make up his legs automatically shift and fold into place. This gimmick does not affect Ironhide's articulation. Confusingly, the instructions omit the exact positioning of the roof panels and rear window on his back, though they can fold into a compact design for maximum articulation.
- In robot mode, his arm-mounted cannons are inactive while mounted on both arms. However, detaching the left arm cannon and combining it with the right arm creates a huge functional missile launcher that is almost as big as Ironhide himself. The missile-launching mechanism itself isn't the typical spring-loaded button design, instead of relying on a pressure-launch system to fire the missiles from the four barrels.
- The soles of his feet/truck bed are completely smooth and featureless, hiding his feet in truck mode. Unfortunately, the smooth soles also mean that his feet have trouble gripping most surfaces. This, combined with his loose above-the-knee swivels, means that he has trouble standing up in all but the stiffest of poses. The peg that holds his windshield is also prone to cracking, which makes it become loose, and might even result in breakage.
- Offroad Ironhide (Voyager Class, 2008)
- Accessories: Left & right cannons, 4 missiles
- Released as part of the "Allspark Power" refresh of the Movie toyline, Offroad Ironhide is a fairly extensive redeco of Voyager class Ironhide in colors reminiscent of the Generation 2 Go-Bot Motormouth. As he's now made of several colors of plastic, he's no longer the most monochromatic toy in the 2007 Movie line.
- Ironhide ("Premium Series" Voyager Class, 2008)
- Accessories: Left & right cannons, 4 missiles
- Premium Ironhide is a redeco of the previous released Voyager class Ironhide, painted in a gloss black finish, silver trim on his smokestacks, Road Armor winch and side turn signal detailing, but with them are several inaccurate deco additions including silver detailing to the rims, frosted windows, silver paint on the roof ridges and a large Autobot sigil tampographed onto the hood.
- In robot mode Ironhide is considerably more accurate with gold and gunmetal detailing colors which were missing from the first Voyager release. His large cannons are now molded in mostly black plastic, then painted metallic teal with gold detailing.
- Transformers Commemorative Box Set (Autobots) (2008)
- Released an an exclusive for Animation-Comic-Game Hong Kong (ACG, also known as Ani-Con) 2008, The Premium Series Ironhide toy is released without any changes along with Premium Series Bumblebee, Premium Jazz, Premium Optimus Prime, and a regular Ratchet. The toys are packaged with a synthetic, leather-like box, and it comes with a sheet of Certificate of Authenticity.
- The boxsets are limited to 100 pieces.
Fast Action Battlers
- Cannon Blast Ironhide (Fast Action Battler, 2007)
- Accessories: 1 missile
- Known designers: Kōjin Ōno (TakaraTomy)
- Part of the Fast Action Battlers line, "Cannon Blast" Ironhide is a simpler version of the larger toy, geared more towards the younger set who might find the big toy too complicated to transform. He still transforms into the customized GMC Topkick. He features a spring-loaded missile launcher in his left cannon. But, thanks to the simpler transformation, the hood and wheels trap his arms below the wheel. He can't punch or aim his cannon at all, and the elbows have no articulation but swiveling that knocks the arm off his body.
- Pulse Cannon Ironhide (Fast Action Battler, 2008)
- Accessories: 1 missiles
- A redeco of the Fast Action Battler Ironhide, this version sports a silver and blue color scheme that is both a reversal of the "Offroad" Ironhide Voyager figure... and seemingly an homage to the Generation 2 Go-Bots version of his Generation 1 counterpart, a redeco of Motormouth (see above). Funky!
Cyber Slammers
- Ironhide (Cyber Slammer, 2008)
- Known designers: Bill Rawley (Hasbro)
- Cyber Slammers Ironhide is an amazingly cute GMC Topkick that transforms into an amazingly cute trigger happy weapons specialist. 'Slam' his robot mode down into car mode and he rolls along, slowly transforming back up into robot mode. Like most Cyber Slammers, Ironhide manages to cram most of his vehicle mode's major details into a compact, super-deformed version of that mode. Interestingly enough, this is the only pre-Revenge of the Fallen merchandise to feature Ironhide's scarred right eye.
Titanium Series
- Ironhide (3-inch Robot Masters, 2007)
- Accessories: Movie Autobot sigil display stand
- Titanium Series Ironhide is a small, 3-inch-tall die-cast metal mini-statue of Ironhide's robot mode. He has swivel points at the shoulders and head and comes with a clear plastic movie-style Autobot sigil stand.
Revenge of the Fallen
Legends Class toys
- Enforcer Ironhide (Legends, 2009)
- Known designers: Alex Androski (deco artist)
- Enforcer Ironhide is a redeco of 2008's Legends class Ironhide in a more Generation 1-looking red colour scheme. As with all wave three Legends figures, the photo on the back of the figure's packaging shows a mistransformed robot mode, where his chest is not aligned properly.
- Straightaway Shootout (Legends multi-pack, 2009)
- A redeco of 2008 Legends Ironhide featuring his regular colors, but using different color layouts and paint applications. He was only available in the Target-exclusive "Straightaway Shootout" 5-pack together with Mudflap, Swerve, Runamuck and Sparkcrusher.
- In Canada, the set was released as a Zellers exclusive.
- Ironhide (EZ Collection, 2009)
- Japanese ID Number: EZ-11
- A month later, the Straightaway Shootout Ironhide figure is available individually in Japan as part of the 2nd volume of the blindpacked EZ Collection line.
Voyager Class toys
- Ironhide (Voyager Class, 2009)
- TakaraTomy ID number: RA-02
- Accessories: Missile launcher cannon, energy cannon, projectile
- Known designers: Tomoya Miyake (TakaraTomy)
- Revenge of the Fallen Voyager class Ironhide is a retool and redeco of the toy from the 2007 Transformers movie line, featuring a new grey colour scheme with some red pin stripes and a NEST logo on each of his doors, as well as having a more accurate, asymmetrical head.
- The original arm cannons have also been replaced by new, more accurate (and less gimmicky) cannons that can be connected together and mounted on top of Ironhide's truck bed cover. The large cannon features screw-driving firing action in which the barrel section twists forward before firing the missile. The small cannon can also retract its barrel and has a 5mm hole on its underside that allows it to plug into the peg on the large cannon like a scope if so desired. The smaller cannon can be swung down flush with the barrel of the larger cannon as well, evoking the giant missile launcher combo from the previous mold. The truck bed cover and arm mountings for Ironhide's cannons are unchanged from the 2007 version, so any voyager Ironhide can carry and use both the original and new weapons. Since the weapons can connect to each other, the figure (and all other uses of this mold) can hold these and the combined 2007 cannons at once. All four cannons can fit on his truck mode as well, the old ones underneath and the new ones on top.
- According to the box pictures and instructions, the small cannon is misassembled. The gray sliding shaft is actually reversed from the direction it is supposed to be facing. This doesn't affect anything, but can be easily fixed by loosening the screws on the black outer section, sliding out the shaft, then turning it around and putting it back in.
- There was also a packaging variant, with the missile being alternatively loaded or unloaded in the box.
- Recon Ironhide (Voyager Class, 2009)
- TakaraTomy ID number: RA-26
- Accessories: Assault rifle, mini-gun, knife A, knife B, bullbar/crossbow, cannon, spring-loaded cannon/crossbow, projectile
- Recon Ironhide is an extensive retool, replacing his doors with military Humvee-style armored door panels, adding a roof/truck-bed-mounted lighting rig/weapons rack and replacing his Road Armor fender with a massive bullbar that can be removed and combined with his spring-loaded cannon to form a crossbow weapon. Ironhide's traditional arm-mounted weapons have been replaced with the aforementioned spring-loaded cannon, a smaller static version of his right-arm mounted cannon, an assault rifle, a mini-gun, and two combat knives, one being short and serrated, the other being long and straight-edged.
- In one of the first intentional uses of the C joint system (if not the first), either knife can be attached to the front of the rifle to act as a bayonet, and the rifles and knives can be attached to his various bars and rails. The rifle and mini-gun can be pegged to the sides of his arm-mounted cannons, and they can also peg into the main barrel of his static arm cannon.
- Think he's armed enough yet? Additionally, this retool of Ironhide includes a new head-sculpt featuring his battle mask.
- In response to the breakage issues concerning the windshield peg, all of Ironhide's (newly-tooled) windows are now cast in softer and more flexible opaque plastic, compared to the more rigid translucent plastic seen on previous versions of this toy.
Fast Action Battlers
- Cannon Force Ironhide (Fast Action Battler, 2009)
- Accessories: 1 missile
- Known designers: Alex Androski (deco artist)
- Cannon Force Ironhide is a redeco of 2007's Cannon Blast Ironhide figure. His colour scheme matches the mostly-red deco seen on the Legends class Enforcer Ironhide toy.
Robot Replicas
- Ironhide (Robot Replica, 2009)
- Robot Replicas Ironhide is, like the others of the line, made of a rubbery PVC and features much more articulation than the average deluxe or voyager class toy. The figure features light blue paint on the cannons giving them a charged up appearance. The elbow joints are positioned in a way that prevents the arm from straightening but the figure is still quite pose-able, however, getting it to stand in most poses is a different story.
Titanium Series
- Offroad Ironhide vs. Deep Desert Brawl (3-inch Robot Masters multi-pack, 2009)
- Accessories: Movie Autobot sigil display stand
- This Toys"R"Us-exclusive set features an unchanged version of 2007's Titanium Series Ironhide (despite package claims to the contrary) and a redecoed Brawl.
Transformers (2010)
- Ironhide (Deluxe, 2010)
- Takara ID number: AA-03
- Accessories: "Automated Rocket Turret"
- Known designers: Alex Kubalsky (TakaraTomy), Andrew Scribner (deco artist)
- Released in the first wave of Hunt for the Decepticons Deluxe class toys, Ironhide transforms from licensed GMC Topkick (with proper length smokestacks) to robot via a surprisingly complex transformation scheme for the toy's size.
- He comes with a transforming weapon accessory, his missile turret from the Revenge of the Fallen video game. Sadly, this goes at the expense of a movie-accurate cannon for the left arm. The turret can stay attached to his arm when transforming back to his vehicle mode, thanks to a hard to notice joint on the other arm's cannon flipping open to allow more room, ensuring no chance of losing this accessory. In an undocumented feature, the turret can also attach to the back of Ironhide's vehicle mode by slotting two of its legs into two small holes on the truck bed, the third leg can then be positioned forward and slot into a groove on the back of the cab. This can be quite difficult, however, if (in another undocumented feature) you do not fully extend the turret's legs which are attached to a hinge which allows all 3 legs to fold down further than just pulling each one out individually; this allows for a greater range of movement and allows the turret to be aimed upwards. His hands can hold 5mm weapons, which means he can use Recon Ironhide's or MechTech weapons.
- The TakaraTomy Autobot Alliance release of this figure features a significant coloring change: Where Hasbro's release cast much of Ironhide's legs, feet, hands, shoulders and some joints in light blue, TakaraTomy's uses a move screen-accurate dark grey plastic.
- Desert Decimation (Multi-pack, 2010)
- Known designers: Andrew Scribner (deco artist)
- A redeco of the 2008 Legends Ironhide, featuring metallic "sand" deco on his front bumper, wheel-wells, and lower legs.
- He was only available in the market six-exclusive "Desert Decimation" four-pack, along with redecoes of Legends-class Ratchet, Decepticon Brawl, and Bonecrusher.
- The Fury Of Bonecrusher (multi-pack, 2010)
- Accessories: Assault rifle, minigun, knife, bullbar/crossbow, projectile
- This Walmart-exclusive two-pack contains a redeco of Revenge of the Fallen Recon Ironhide in stone-blue and silver/gray, with sand details painted on his vehicle mode, gold details here and there, and bits of Allspark blue on his cannons.
- He is packaged with a redeco of Deluxe-class Bonecrusher from the first movie and, as part of the "Hunt for the Decepticons" promotion, a "Most Wanted" collector's card featuring the Decepticon.
- Ironhide (Activator, 2010)
- Known designers: Lenny Panzica (Hasbro)
- Released in the second wave of Activators, this Ironhide is a smaller toy with cutesified proportions and a simplified transformation. Like all Activators, he features autotransformation from vehicle to robot, activated by pressing a button on his roof.
Dark of the Moon
Cyberverse
- Ironhide (Cyberverse Commander, 2011)
- Series: 1
- Number: 004
- Japanese ID number: CV06
- Accessories: 2 Cannons (combine into a large cannon)
- Known designers: Joe Kyde (Hasbro), Hisao Nishimoto (TakaraTomy)
- Part of the first wave of Cyberverse Commanders, Ironhide is a roughly Scout-sized figure that transforms into a licensed GMC Topkick.
- He comes with two cannons that can attach to the sides or top of his vehicle mode. One of his cannons has a C joint, allowing it to attach to the bed cover, and both cannons can combine into a larger weapon. In robot mode, he can attach his guns on the sides of his arms, his back, or hold them in his hands. The multi-barreled cannon features a free spinning barrel.
- Leadfoot and Ironhide (Cyberverse 2-pack, 2011)
- Accessories: 2 Cannons
- This Target-exclusive Ironhide is a redeco of the Cyberverse Commander figure. He is now dark blue, has cyberglyphics on the hood and doors of his vehicle mode, and the tips of his multi-barreled cannon are painted gold, creating an overall effect somewhat similar to the 2008 "Offroad Ironhide." He comes in a two-pack with a redecoed Leadfoot.
- This set also sold in Turkey as a Carrefour exclusive.
- Cybertronian Warriors Pack (Cyberverse 4-pack, 2011)
- Accessories: 2 Cannons
- Known designers: Andrew Scribner (deco artist)
- Another redeco of Cyberverse Commander Ironhide, this time exclusive to Toys"R"Us in a 4 pack with redecoes of Bumblebee (with APC), Crankcase, and Barricade. Ironhide is given a "Premium"-esque deco of his standard colors, with a matte-black finish and gold highlights. He's also something of the odd bot out of the set, with Crankcase and Barricade colored like MD Metro police, and Bumblebee given a damage deco on his front (to represent the damage done to one of the stunt cars playing Bumblebee when it collided with an actual DC police vehicle).
- With matching paint jobs (the dark grayish black and bronze are near perfect matches), it appears as if the APC was intended to go with Ironhide more so than Bumblebee.
Deluxe Class toys
- Ironhide (Deluxe, 2011)
- Accessories: Automated Rocket Turret
- Known designers: Sam Smith (Hasbro), Andrew Scribner and Mark Maher (deco)
- This redeco of Deluxe class Ironhide is exclusive to Toys"R"Us' Mission Earth: The Scan Series, to represent him trans-scanning his vehicle mode. As such, nearly all of his vehicle mode parts (and thus, most of his robot mode) are cast in translucent clear plastic, with the rear of his vehicle mode being left unpainted, the middle having painted scan lines, and the front having a heavy amount of paint operations in order to cover the clear plastic.
- His packaging stock photography shows his legs as being cast in translucent plastic, when the final product has these cast in opaque gray plastic, possibly for durability reasons. Also, the white "scan" line on the vehicle sides in stock photos is directly vertical, whereas on the actual figure it is on an angle towards the front.
Voyager Class toys
- Ironhide (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
- Japanese ID number: DA04
- Accessories: MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon
- Known designers: Hironori Kobayashi (TakaraTomy), Andrew Scribner (deco artist)
- Dark of the Moon Voyager Class Ironhide is smaller, but more accurate, than previous Voyager Class Ironhide toys and still transforms into a licensed GMC Topkick.
- He comes with a large MechTech "Booster" that converts into a "Particle Cannon" by extending and spinning its barrels when the back is pressed. Twisting the knob at the back of the weapon when it is fully extended will lock it into place. The Booster/Particle Cannon (or any other MechTech weapon) can be attached to Ironhide via 5mm post MechTech ports on his truck sides, vehicle roof/robot back, and in his fists, or they can be mounted onto MechTech ports and posts under his forearms in robot mode. Additionally, the Booster/Particle Cannon itself features a MechTech port on top of its housing. The cannons and weapons included with the previous Voyager Class Ironhide toys can also be used with this figure.
- He has an Automorph gimmick on his vehicle front end/chest, wherein pushing it automatically deforms both halves of the front end into his chest, and pulling it reforms it back to the vehicle front end.
- His packaging stock photo has him mis-transformed. The vehicle mode panel kibble on his left leg has not been pegged in, his feet are backwards, and the tailgate pieces, normally folded into the soles of his feet, are left flipped out and sticking out from the back.
- The Japanese release comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his MechTech weapon for the MechTech Wars online game.
- Cannon Force Ironhide (MechTech Voyager, 2011)
- Japanese ID number:
- Accessories: MechTech Booster/Particle Cannon
- Known designers: Andrew Scribner (deco artist)
- Cannon Force Ironhide is a redeco of Dark of the Moon Voyager Class Ironhide in a G1-inspired color scheme, with most of his black parts being cast in orange-red. Specifically, the deco was based on Ken Christiansen's Prime Ironhide concept art. His deco consists of the upper half of his vehicle being cast in red and his lower half being painted a matte black, with an orange stripe running in-between. His MechTech weapon has been redecoed as well, with a cooler shade of gray for the housing, and black for the main cannon body.
Leader Class toys
- Ironhide (Mechtech Leader, 2011)
- Known designers: Andrew Scribner (deco artist), Lenny Panzica (voice actor)
- Released in the second wave of Dark of the Moon Leaders, This version of Ironhide transforms into a licensed GMC Topkick and is his first Leader Class toy, featuring all sorts of weaponry and other gimmicks.
- His main gimmick is his chest-mounted Cybertronian Blitz Cannon, which is activated when either the license plate panel (used as a lever) on his abdomen is flipped and pushed down (similarly to the Revenge of the Fallen Leader Class Optimus Prime toy), or when a tall gray piece on the back-right of his head is pressed down. Two flaps on his abdomen open up, and a back-lit spinning cannon is deployed, lighting up his eyes as well as playing a rapid-fire shooting sound until the button is released, in which the cannon retracts back into his innards and a winding/powering-down sound is played.
- Ironhide's other lights and sounds gimmick is related to his head: when either the button on his chest or the lever on the back of his head are used, his mouthplate moves down, his eyes flash green and says the following the phrases, "Ironhide here" and "Weapons ready." (He is not voiced by Jess Harnell, but by Lenny Panzica.) He also features cannons mounted on his arms/roof that pop out and deploy when each respective smokestack is pulled, and can be used in either vehicle or robot mode. There is also a small button behind the cabin that emits a (rather vague) sound of the vehicle driving and firing its cannons/ramming through obstacles when it is pressed. If the button is held down further, additional driving and engine revving sounds are emitted.
- Lastly, Ironhide has two weapons hidden in each of his legs. Opening the side of his left leg reveals and pops up a removable knife, whereas opening his right leg deploys a detachable spring-loaded cannon, either of which he can wield.
- Interestingly, he is more or less at scale with the various Human Alliance toys.
- The international version replaces his first saying with a simple "Ironhide", and the second "Weapons ready" saying is replaced with a robotic stomping sound (which is a modified version of the "ramming through obstacles" vehicle-mode sound.) Some units have the spring pushed and compressed too far back into the launcher, preventing the projectile from even shooting out. This can be fixed, but pulling and stretching the small spring further out while it is in the launcher may be rather difficult. Early versions of this toy also have a glued neck joint which prevents the head from turning. A running change variant later restored the neck articulation and enlarged the "Try me!" hole of the toy's packaging. Unfortunately, this later version suffered from particularly poor quality control concerning the silver paint operations beside his headlights, as they tended to come scratched off in the box.
- The two of his hood halves also frequently detach from the ball joints they are mounted on during transformation, quite possibly for safety reasons.
- Despite being advertised as a MechTech figure, Leader class Ironhide's gimmicks are almost entirely unrelated to the interchangeable, spring-loaded MechTech weapons seen on most of the other Dark of the Moon MechTech toys. Besides his fists, the only two 5mm post/MechTech ports on Ironhide are the ones on the hood halves above his shoulders, which can only be accessed in robot mode. His leg-mounted gun and knife can be removed and shared, however.
- His box mentions "Automatic conversion sounds", yet no such sound plays during transformation. Additionally, he is mis-transformed in his stock photography, as his vehicle front-end chest is not connected to his faux-bumper grille, nor are the wheels angled into his chest.
- The Japanese release of the figure comes packed with a character card and an accompanying transparent plastic card of his arm cannons for the MechTech Wars online game, even though his built-in arm cannons aren't removable, interchangeable 5mm MechTech accessories. However, as noted above, Ironhide's knife and leg-mounted missile launcher are removable and can be wielded by other figures.
Robo Power
Robo Fighters
- Ironhide (2011)
- Robo Fighters Ironhide is a non-transforming figure with five points of articulation. Sliding down his chest armor reveals guns inside his torso, as well as deploying missile racks from his shoulders.
Activators
- Ironhide (2011)
- Known designers: Lenny Panzica (Hasbro)
- Released as part of the Robo Power subline, Ironhide features a one-step transformation: squeezing down on the cyan section at the rear of his GMC Topkick mode causes him to transform into robot mode, and squeezing down on it again will turn him back into truck mode. In robot mode, Ironhide has shoulder articulation.
- Ironhide was released in an open package that allowed children to touch the toy, but did not allow for transformation due to twist ties and a plastic tray being present.
Generations
- Ironhide (Mechtech Leader, 2012)
- Accessories: Knife, leg-mounted removable spring-loaded cannon, one projectile
- Generations Ironhide is a redeco of Dark of the Moon Leader Class Ironhide sporting a new red, gray, and silver color scheme that homages Generation 1 Ironhide similar to the previously-released Cannon Force Ironhide toys. He features the unrestricted, articulated neck joint, but uses the international version of the soundchip.
- His packaging call-outs still mention the "Automatic conversion sounds" he doesn't have. Worse yet, his packaging stock photos, which depict a hand-painted prototype, are simply a recolored version of his first Leader Class toy, retaining the mis-transformations, having numerous color and deco differences, and just generally being so sloppily edited that the robot and vehicle-mode photos are inconsistent with each other. Oh well...
- Ironhide was initially available at general retail in China and other Asian Hasbro markets in English-only Generations packaging as part of Hasbro's Global Development Organization ("GDO") line-up. He was later made available by Hasbro in Canada as a Toys"R"Us exclusive... in bilingual English/Chinese Dark of the Moon packaging with additional Movie Trilogy Series labels.

- Released as part of the blindpacked EZ Collection Gum series, this Ironhide is a redeco of the first Legends Class figure, sharing the same plastic deco from the Straightaway Shootout/EZ collection Vol.2 Ironhide figure, but with the windows being changed from flat light blue into a metallic sheen.
Movie The Best
- Released as part of TakaraTomy's Transformers Movie The Best toyline to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the live-action film series, this Ironhide is an extensive redeco of his 2010 Transformers Deluxe Class toy.
Movie Edition

- Series: 3
- Bag Code: H
- Tiny Turbo Changers Series 3 Ironhide is a simplified version of his design, transforming into a rough approximation of his GMC Heavy Duty Topkick 6500 4×4 Crew Cab Edition alternate mode. He has tiny cannons sculpted on to his arms.
Studio Series
- Autobot Ironhide (Voyager Class, 2018)
- Movie: Transformers
- Hasbro ID number: 14
- TakaraTomy ID number: SS-15
- TakaraTomy release date: September 15, 2018
- Accessories: Two cannons, "Mission City Battle" backdrop
- Studio Series "Autobot Ironhide" transforms into a licensed GMC Heavy Duty Topkick 6500 4×4 Crew Cab Edition. He comes with two different arm cannons, which plug into his forearms via 5mm pegs. The two arm cannons can combine and plug into the back of the truck via small tabs, or plug in individually. The cannons feature fake semblances of parts of his vehicle mode for screen-accuracy, one of them even going so far as having heavily deformed recreations of his driver-side doors.
- His truck hood parts come mistransformed in the packaging; they actually plug into difficult-to-notice slots buried in his collar, while the doors wrap around and tab into two struts on his back. He comes with a cardboard backdrop depicting the battle of Mission City.
- Despite the toy's focus on movie-accuracy, Ironhide's front bumper is a single piece incapable of wrapping around his chest like in the CG model, presumably for budgeting reasons.
- Ironhide was first released in Singapore without any prior announcement by Hasbro. Ironhide also saw poor distribution for the retail market, as he is limited to 3 units or so. Said distribution also forces some of the fans to buy him at online stores.
- Ironhide (Deluxe Class, 2022)
- Known designers: Sam Smith (Hasbro), Takio Ejima (TakaraTomy, Ratchet), Emiliano Santalucia (concept art, Ratchet)[1]
- Part of the 16th wave of Studio Series Deluxe Class toys, Ironhide is a retool of Bumblebee Autobot Ratchet, transforming into a boxy red Cybertronian truck with yellow accents in the style of the G1 version's vehicle mode. As with the majority of Bumblebee's Cybertronian characters, his alternate mode was created by Hasbro and TakaraTomy for the Studio Series toyline as the film model was not designed to transform. Ironhide comes with the same blaster accessory as Ratchet, which can be stored on top of his truck mode or on his back in robot mode. Ironhide features 5mm compatible feet like many other contemporary Deluxe Class figures.
- Most copies of Ironhide are reported to have incredibly loose joints, much moreso than his mold source Ratchet, which makes maintaining dynamic poses a challenge for him.
- Like all other Studio Series toys, the interior of the package forms a display backdrop. As with most Bumblebee Studio Series figures, this backdrop depicts a war-torn Cybertron as it appears at the beginning of the film.
- Transformers 15th Anniversary (Multi-pack, 2022)
- Movie: Transformers
- ID number: 14
- Accessories: Two cannons, "Autobots Arrival" reversible backdrop
- "15th Anniversary" Ironhide is a redeco of the first Studio Series figure, featuring slightly altered paint applications and plastic color changes compared to the original toy. His knees, shoulders, and inner torso have been cast in gray plastic, while his windows are now a more opaque black translucent plastic. The faux bumper on his chest and the rear vehicle mode bumper are painted gray, while his toes, headlights, and circular shoulder details are now completely painted in silver. Meanwhile, paint applications on his cannons, knees, roof lights, cheeks, head crest, and his right eye have been omitted. His left shoulder is also missing an Autobot tampograph.
- This figure comes in an Amazon exclusive 5-pack alongside redecoes of Studio Series Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Ratchet and Jazz, released to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the first live-action Transformers film. The pack comes with a unique reversible backdrop depicting the alley where the Autobots first met Sam on one side and the exterior of Sam's house on the other.
Masterpiece Movie Series
- Ironhide (December 15, 2018)
- Movie: Transformers
- ID number: MPM-6
- Accessories: 2 "Cannon Accessories"
- Released as the sixth figure of the Masterpiece Movie Series, this Ironhide is based on his appearance in the 2007 film, transforming from a highly detailed, licensed GMC Heavy Duty Topkick 6500 4×4 Crew Cab Edition into a robot and back in 45 steps. He is exceedingly well armed, with his signature giant cannons mounted on his arms in robot mode, or on the sides of his truck mode, ready to do some serious damage. He features die-cast detailing, and is articulated in the hands, neck, and faceplate.
- This figure was originally announced for release in the middle of 2018 but ended up being delayed until the end of the year, probably to allow Hasbro and Takara to concentrate their resources on marketing Bumblebee.
- This Ironhide is notorious for its finicky transformation, as some of the parts refuse to stay on (primarily in the front of his vehicle mode).
Bumblebee
- Ironhide (Power Plus Series, 2018)
- Accessories: Energon core
- Bumblebee Energon Igniters Ironhide transforms from a robot mode reminiscent of his original movie appearance into a 1980's heavyduty pickup with giant exhaust stacks, making this a very different interpretation from how he actually appears in the Bumblebee movie. The red coloration of the cab and hood collectively homage his Cannon Force figures, "Aligned" Ironhide, and G1 Ironhide. As a Power Plus series figure, Ironhide is compatible with energon cores, one of which is included. Inserting a core in his vehicle mode deploys his robot mode weapons on the side of the truck.
- This figure was later redecoed into Rise of the Beasts Autobots Unite Battletrap.
Merchandise
Lunchables
- Ironhide ("Pocket Transformers" toy prize, 2007)
- A fold-out "pseudo-figure" of Ironhide "transforms" from a flat, blue platform decorated with the Autobot symbol and the word "Transformers" to a robot by folding out. Ironhide is represented by stickers decorated with artwork of the character on the top, bottom, and two fold out "arms". His name is also spelled out, across his feet in this mode.
- This mold was also used to create the lunchables figure for Optimus, and Bumblebee. A similar mold was used to create the Lunchables figure for Megatron, Blackout and Starscream, though with the Decepticon symbol sculpted in instead of the Autobot one. Each iteration of this mold was made with a different color of plastic.

He also lacks the silver paint on the corners of the vehicle and the "4x4" logo on the sides of the truck bed.

Speed Stars Metal Heroes Ironhide was one of the figures distributed.[3]

McDonald's
- Ironhide (Happy Meal, 2010)
- Part of the 2010 McDonald's Revenge of the Fallen promotion, Ironhide does not transform, but features a "punching/firing" mechanism instead: a switch on his back rocks his arms forwards and backwards in an alternating motion. Ironhide features blue light-piping, an unexpected feature for a fast food promotional toy, but does not feature any form of articulation. He was only available during week 5 of the promotion, and came with an instruction sheet that doubles as an ad for McWorld, featuring an exclusive code for the website.
Dark of the Moon
Burger King
- Flip-Out Ironhide (2011)
- Part of the 2011 Burger King Dark of the Moon promotion, Ironhide is a simple figure with bobble-head-like proportions, but is otherwise reasonably accurate to his on-screen appearance, except for the sculpted arm cannons that he no longer has in the movie. The entirety of his body flips out of his enormous head when it is opened. A similar gimmick is present in all the toys part of this promotion. Pushing the button on his back projects a red Autobot symbol out of his chest. There is an on/off switch on his back.

Bigger toys
- GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide Edition (2007)
- As reported at Edmunds, Monroe Truck Equipment, in association with Hasbro, released a GMC TopKick 4500 Ironhide special edition featuring most of the modifications made to the Ironhide vehicle props used in the movie, with the only difference being that the truck retains its stock orange running lights (the props used blue) and the large stock sideview mirrors.
- Sadly, installing a grumpy trigger-happy alien robot and deadly high-tech weaponry into the works is not part of the included modifications. Production on the GMC Topkick truck ceased when General Motors exited the medium-duty truck market in 2009. Ironhide's death in the third film is certainly not connected to this, not at all.
