What the [[Brute (WFC)|Brutes]] do with melee, '''Titans''' do with big [[frag]]ging guns. Standing a few feet taller than the average [[Transformer]], Titans roam the battlefield carrying their [[Ion Displacer|ion displacers]], pouring out firepower that devastates any opponent foolish enough to come within range. However, they roam slowly, due to the massive size of their guns. This leaves them "vulnerable" to attack, although the term only applies loosely due to their considerable armor and stamina. Just don't try to take them head on—you may be left with a few hundred bullet holes in your chassis. A pack of these soldiers can easily fill the battlefield with more artillery fire than a small war. When they die, they leave behind their [[Ion Displacer|guns]], so grab 'em fast! {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|Transformers: War for Cybertron}}

[[Image:WFC Autobot Heavy Soldier.jpg|thumb|left|250px|It really hurts when you drop a gun this big on your foot.]]

==Notes==
* Like most Decepticon troops, the Decepticon Titans vaguely resemble either the ''[[Generation 2 (franchise)|Generation 2]]'' [[Cyberjet]]s or [[Cobra]] [[Battle Android Trooper]]s (especially their faceplates) while Autobot Titans bear a certain resemblance to [[Roadbuster (G1)|Roadbuster]], the gun-loving [[Wrecker]] (which is fitting, really).
