1. Character's Name: Ironhide 2. Fandom: Transformers: Movie Canon 3. Time Frame: End of Revenge of the Fallen, after Sam's death. Before Optimus' revival. 4. Age: Several Millions Of Years. Old as Dirt. Ancient.
5. Background:It is said that Ironhide is one of the oldest known Autobots--and he looks it, with his body still carrying many scars, broken pieces, and countless repairs, most specifically a bad hip and faulty core timing (according to the bio on the back of his toy). He is a veteran of countless battles, both on Cybertron, and on Earth

Background cont'd:When the war officially broke out, he became indispensable, providing tactics, and some intel on the Decepticons. At some point during the war, he was given the task of training the young warriors, produced to bolster the Autobot forces. He seemed to take to this task quite readily. One in particular was called Sideswipe, and the two were quite close during Sideswipe's training and upbringing. Unfortunately, they lost contact after the younger 'bot was dispatched to look after a refugee colony, which ended in disaster. It was destroyed by a Decepticon named Demolishor, and Sideswipe took off on his own, after an argument about tactics with his old teacher

6. Personality:Tough-as-nails and no-nonsense, Ironhide is a warrior to the core, despite the fact he tends to be something of a loose cannon--no pun intended--with a temper and actual cannons to back him up. He is fiercely loyal to a given cause--fanatically loyal to the Autobot cause, and utterly devoted to Optimus Prime. However, he tends to be standoffish, occasionally foul-mouthed, and stubborn, going so far as to argue with Optimus before ultimately giving in. Tact is not in his vocabulary, or his core programming. Ironhide has a temper, and although his "bite" is just as bad as his "bark", his displays are often easily settled by those who know how to properly handle him. He's excitable, despite his age, especially where weapons and explosions are concerned. But around pretty much everything else, he acts like a grouchy old man, with a stubborn streak as wide as he is massive

7. Previous Game Developments: Developments from: ms_elegante Ironhide was first dragged to the ship known as the M.S. Elegante. He absolutely loathed it, finding it comparable to confinement, and doing everything he could in order to free himself and his comrades from what he assumed to be the captain's imprisonment. This included engaging in a mutiny, during which he attempted to rescue a young Autobot held in seeming captivity by the captain. His attempt failed, leaving Ironhide with an incredible sense of guilt over the incident, to the point where he ventured into a haunted theater, trying to rescue what he thought was a child in great distress, only to be killed as the theater collapsed around him. He was also involved in working with some of the other passengers to create and maintain a sort of protection squad, leading one team personally, and becoming close with the others assigned under him. Throughout all this, Ironhide maintained that the captain was nothing but a liar, and that their worlds were still in existence. It kept
( ... )
Previous Game Developments Cont'd: Probably the biggest development that came about as a result of events on the Elegante was Ironhide's relationship with Ratchet, the Autobot medical officer. They had always been very close friends, working together, bickering with each other, and covering one another's backs throughout the war. And then one Halloween, due the the captain's meddling, both of them became human for a time. They both became horribly intoxicated, and ended up sleeping with each other. Ironhide then proceeded to avoid Ratchet entirely, both convinced he'd hurt his friend during their encounter, and hoping to deny the incident even happened -- as it had brought out feelings for the other Autobot he'd convinced himself didn't exist. Their friendship was all but nonexistent until Ironhide finally gave in, agreed to at least attempt some kind of normalcy. After that, they only grew closer, actually becoming something of an inadvertent couple. It wasn't until Valentine's day that they really developed their relationship
( ... )
9. Abilities: His name does not lie, his armor is thick, and tough, it had to be, for him to have survived for as long as he has. Shots that would kill a smaller, lesser-armored Autobot only scratch him. It takes a great deal of force to so much as puncture his exterior armor. He's rather agile for his size and age, although not a fast mover. Both he and his vehicle mode are heavy-duty brawlers, not quick scouts. His top speed is only 110MPH in vehicle mode, though he is capable of hauling 200 metric tons, and able to take on most head-on collisions without much severe damage. He is almost literally a tank in truck form. And, since he's an Autobot, is capable of switching between forms on a split-second's notice. He can scan a machine and take its form. However, it does need to be of the right size to accommodate his mass.
At one point, it was said that he had a hand in destroying a small planet with the strength of his weaponry. Also according to the novel, Veiled Threat, he has the capacity to refine and create energon, which is

13. Writing sample - Third Person Prose: Ironhide was not an Autobot given to fantasy. It served no purpose. It didn't help anything. Sure, here and there, he'd catch himself thinking of a myriad of ways he'd like to tear the Captain's head from his shoulders, or how best to place an explosive device to get one of the lifeboats free. But that was, honestly, the extent of his fantasies. There was never anything all that intricate, or elaborate, and they were always fleeting.
However, that seemed to have changed since he was shoved into a human body. Something else the captain had to answer for.
He was, currently, seated on a low chair in the quarters he shared with the Autobot medic aboard the Elegante, trying to fuss out how exactly he was supposed to tie a shoe. How was it that he was capable of creating intricate firing mechanisms for his various weapons, but the ability to work the tiny strings of the shoelaces was utterly beyond him? It made no sense. He was a smart 'bot. He should be able to pull this off with
