His reflective barrier should not work against specials if you use ironhide special you get it reflected back and can't dodge or block ect and end up killing yourself

As well I never use ironhide but his shield shouldn't reflect specials imo especially considering some specials are melee some are not ect. Even bc mine goes off when you do l3 with bludgeon on his cannon fire...: not a melee strike obviously. Specials act differently than normal attacks.
I can provide more details in regards to our choice to enable the Sonic Shield even against special attacks.
Demolition Bots (Iron Hide) are supposed to be weak against Tech Bots (Soundwave).
Scout Bots (Sideswipe, Windblade) who are supposed to be good versus Tech Bots, do not have ranged attacks in their special attacks that can hurt them back.... Sideswipe has it on his second special but it reflects into the ground.
Plus, players can know when is the Sonic Shield is going to activate. (When Soundwave gets a Power Bar). We are working on ways to better message why did an ability trigger but for now this is my piece of advice. Watch his special bar before using your special that contains a ranged attack!
Definatly seems you all are thinking of and programming more situational and specialist functions
