There are always other trucks they can use for ironhide.
ReplyDeletethat doesn't necessarily mean he'll die. Could take another alt mode.
ReplyDeleteHe'll either reformat or be replaced by someone like Trailbreaker.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean that when TF3 starts being filmed that Ironhide will have another alt mode or what?
ReplyDeleteObama killed Ironhide!!! His energon-footprint was too large and he was discontinued.
ReplyDeleteNOOOO!!! I don't want him to go! He's one of my favorite robots!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't mean anything..
ReplyDeleteJust because it's discontinued won't mean they can't still use him. Ironhide isn't going anywhere...
Michael Bay can still use the truck, GM can't stop him from doing it..
Geez people, Michel Bay uses the same cars over and over, He doesnt get new ones everytime he starts a movie, gosh chill out
ReplyDeleteJust as long as his next alt mode isn't a red mini-van, it will be OK.
ReplyDeletewhats all the fuss about? ironhide will return as the same truck even if he's in trasformers 7---optimus was an old truck that they "pimped"--GM put of the hummer too--does that mean rachet will not show up in other movies?---also the production pple-they can jus repair the truck if its damaged over the yrs--it jus so happen that he scanned a GM truck----i think his alt mode will remain as good as new once the battles are over and he gets rest
ReplyDeleteWell for everyone arguing that this isn't G1 enough, He died in the '86 movie, didn't he?
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't mean the end for an Ironhide TopKick. He can still be the truck, it's not like they update the truck every movie. Once he becomes the truck, even if they discontinue it, he can still stay the truck.
ReplyDeleteNOT COOL MAN!!!!!!! Ironhide is my favorite.... if he dies i will KILL MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletei will GM
ReplyDeleteWill buy GM medium-duty truck operations,already sent my associates to talk to them.
