Man... those Keith Szarabajka fans... what has become of this VC?
I'll go with Jess, I hate to go against original Transformers VA's but this is an exception.

Didn't Mark Ryan audition for Ironhide in the first film.

I've gotta give this one to Jess Harnell. I'm so glad the movies hired actual voiceactors to play the characters. Keith is a REALLY close second.

Cullen sounds way too over the top and Harnell sounds a little forced. I'm gonna go with Keith Szarabajka.

I definitely prefer Jess Harnell even if they gave him less and less lines the further the films went. Harnell just had a badass quality that fit Ironhide

What's with the Southern accent on Cullen's Ironhide? O_O

I'm going with Keith Szarabajka for Ironhide, though I also did like Peter Cullen and Jess Harnell in the role.

I heard Diedrich Bader is considered to voice Ironhide in Prime.

@Mr.Fennoy93 1.) *IF* he appears in the show, and 2.) Where have you heard this rumour? The only other place I've heard of it is one ranting VA fan over on the TFW2005 boards.

GO IRONHIDE YOU ROCK! I LOVE IRONHIDE BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I LOVE BUMBLEBEE. WATCH TRANSFORMERS DARK OF THE MOON TO SEELOTS OF ACTION!

@ROBERT YES HE IS THE BEST VOICE FOR OPTIMUS PRIME I AGREE!

@IRONHIDE and ROBERT I think you guys *both* need to turn off the caps-lock. ;) But I understand, Ironhide can get people excited.

I like Jess Harnell the most with Mark Ryan and Bronco Jackson as close seconds. Peter Cullen and Keith Szarabajka are tied for third for me, the rest are pretty mediocre aside from Corey Burton (Sorry Michael McConnohie)

I like the sound clip that goes with Matt Hill by-the-way! ;)
Replysaid at 8:01 PM on Fri Mar 18 2011
Oh, come on guys! Matt Hill wasn't that bad. ;) He did play his character well. His version of Ironhid just wasn't the usual personality your used to.

@Hotshotfan I agree. He's not my favourite version of the character, but that's the thing: he's a DIFFERENT version. A young, brash, head-strong warrior eager to prove his metal. Different personality than the other versions.

Just my opinion, but... Russ Veillard'S Ironhide sounds like a gay version of Cullen's Ironhide. However, I love Cullen's Ironhide a lot.

Jess Harnell. I think that his darker, deeper voice fits the character more than the usual Southern accent. My favorite Southern Ironhide, however, is Mark Ryan.

My thoughts:
Peter Cullen: The Best of all. His Ironhide is CLASSIC!!
Michael McConnohie: Yeah, Liked Him too.
Corey Burton: Liked his performance, He really tries to give him a G1 Feel
Keith Szarabajka: Similar to his Wolverine, but sounds great :)
Mark Ryan: I think he's great as Ironhide. I would prefer him in the Live Action movie, but I also tend to like Jess Harnell.
HINT: Liked them all, except Matt Hill.

Peter Cullen for me. Corey Burton did a good imitation, and Keith Szarabajka sounded just like Cullen (aside from the lack of an accent...).

Cullen and Burton are definitely my favourites. I think Harnell's has a certain appeal too but I absolutely hate the Energon version of Ironhide.

It's Cullen or nobody, but Corey did try his best to do a Cullen impression.
Hill's voice - awful.
Michael McConnohie - passable
Harnell - horrendous, should've just cast Cullen in both Prime and Ironhide roles, another reason why the live action movies are dreadful, the voice cast is appalling.

I could definitley see Michael doing Thor and Maybe Peter could pull off a good Thor if he were too just go into a slightly deeper range. But as for the rest of these knockoffs, I do not see a thor in any one of them.

for me, it's:
Peter Cullen
Corey Burton
the others do not sound like Ironhide to me.

Such as Detective Hershel Biggs in LA. Noire or The Didact in Halo 4.

Now those are some good examples of Keith's work! But yeah, he's a good actor, but sometimes I feel he's a little overated thats all. Nothing against him, just feel that he shouldn't be winning some polls imo.
