Ironhide is the most consistent autobot. Always a tough and reliable autobot who's ready to beat some deceptichops (Except unicron trilogy ironhide,we don't talk about him)
The bayaverse is the best ( my opnion ) But Beeverse is the most beautiful thing, they managed to recreate a completely realistic version like the comics.
While i like G1 Ironhide, there are already too much Red autobots and i really Love Bayverse Ironhide, a black and gray autobot, definetly the best design for him.
tbh in my opinion it is a cardinal sin for ironhide to be anything other then red... unless you're the bayformer movies, in which case it's very clear you don't really care.
