{{disambig3|Titan}}

:''Titan is a class from [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron's]] multiplayer mode.''

Do you prefer your foes drained of [[energon]], pumped full of lead, and crushed under your enormous treads? Then choose the '''Titan''', the biggest and brawliest FOC class. They transform into tanks. [[Grimlock (WFC)|Usually.]]

==Characteristics==

The Titan was tweaked from the [[Transformers: War for Cybertron|War for Cybertron]] [[Soldier (WFC)|Soldier]] class. It still has the highest overall health, but greater emphasis was placed on heavy machine guns, with most of the explosive munitions transferred to the [[Destroyer (FOC)|Destroyer]] class.

===Body Types===
Six body types were available with the game initially, with two unlocked from the get-go and the rest available by spending [[Energon shard]]s. The heads, chest/vehicle, shoulders, arms, legs, and cannon were interchangeable. The initial bodies were:
*'''Gunner''' ([[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]])
*'''Obliterator''' ([[Warpath (WFC)|Warpath]])
*'''Tanker''' ([[Brawl (WFC)|Brawl]])
*'''Wrecker''' ([[Scattershot (WFC)|Scattershot]])
*'''Bruiser''' ([[Demolishor (WFC)|Demolishor]])
*'''Steel Crusher''' ([[Quake (FOC)|Quake]])
Several bonus heads could be added on by attaining certain levels. They were:
*'''Beast''' ([[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] beast head, unlocked at level 25)
*'''Warlord''' (Head of the Autobot Titan enemies in campaign, Unlocked at Prime)
*'''Crawler''' ([[Insecticon (Prime)|Insecticon]] head, unlocked at Prime level 25)
*'''Elite''' (Megatron with a crown, unlocked by reaching Prime 25 with every class)
Later, downloadable content could be purchased that added more body types. So far, they've been:
*'''Annihilator''' ([[Perceptor (Prime)|Perceptor]])
*'''Beetle''' ([[Hardshell]])
*'''Berserker''' ([[Grimlock (WFC)|Grimlock]] cannon can't be altered with this type)
Finally, each class could apply a variety of [[Insignia|faction symbols]] (called "[[Sticker|decals]]"). Each set cost 400 Energon shards, and many contained references to past Transformers subgroups. They were: [[Targetmaster|Targetmasters]]; [[Lightning Strike Coalition|Lightning Strikeforce]]; [[Battlechargers|Warchargers]]; [[Astro Squad]]; [[Protectobots]]; Energo Squad; [[Battle Squad]]; [[Laser Rod|Lazer Rods]].

===Weapons===
Each class in FOC was able to equip a primary and secondary firearm, and each had four to choose from. Two would be unlocked to begin with, and the rest became available as levels were gained. Each weapon upgrades that could be added by gaining levels. The Titan had access to:
*'''[[Energon Harvester]]'''
*'''[[X18 Scrapmaker]]'''
*'''[[E.D.K. TechVolt]]'''
*'''[[Corrosive slime-shooter|Corrosive Slime Cannon]]'''

===Abilities===
Each class had access to two different abilities and could equip one at a time. The second ability, as well as various upgrades, could be unlocked by gaining experience. The Titan could:
*'''Whirlwind''' - A spinning melee attack. Could be canceled by jumping or pressing the ability button.
*'''Flak Shield''' - A ''huge'', handheld shield that blocked incoming attacks.

Corrosive slime-shooter

Everything about [[Skalor]] is gross. His general lack of hygiene. His [[dual crustation rifles]]. And even his [[Targetmaster]] mode, formed when he combines with his crustation rifles, is gross; it's a double-barreled '''corrosive slime-shooter''', which... well, shoots corrosive slime.

Also, when [[Bomb-Burst (G1)|Bomb-Burst]] can't drain his victim's fuel, he'll settle for pelting them with his own corrosive slime shooter.

Still fuzzy on the concept of [[sonic stun-gun|stun]], [[Finback]] also uses a '''metal-corroding stun rifle''' that fires thick, viscous underwater slime, capable of stunning his targets into melted heaps of slag. He should probably stick to this gun for his and [[Misfire]]'s sakes.

[[Blot (G1)|Blot]] also has a '''slime gun''', which in a similar fashion, coats his targets in corrosive slime that smells almost as bad as he does. It also makes one wonder if the prerequisite for using these guns is being insanely gross.

The '''corrosive slime cannon''' also appears in [[Transformers: Fall of Cybertron]] as a heavy weapon.

Energon Harvester

:''The Energon Harvester is a device from the [[Transformers: Prime (franchise)| Prime]] portion of the [[Aligned continuity family]].''
[[Image:DeusExMachina-Openharvester.jpg|thumb|300px|"They're gifts, [[Nolan North|Mr. Miles]], gifts from those who came before."]]
An '''Energon Harvester''' was used by the Ancients to harvest [[energon]]. As energon flows in the bodies of all [[Transformer]]s, the Harvester can be a deadly weapon in [[Decepticon]] hands.

==Fiction==
===''Prime'' cartoon===
When the Autobots detected an energon vein in [[Greece]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] and [[Miko Nakadai|Miko]] went to investigate. There they spotted a painting of a god wielding the Energon Harvester and figured one must be on Earth. Bulkhead encountered [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] at the construction site, which meant the Decepticons also knew about the Harvester. After some online searching, [[Raf Esquivel|Raf]] found an identical orb in a museum, which [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] confirmed to be genuine.

[[Image:Soundwaveandenergonharvester.jpg|left|thumb|200px|"Now I claim your sun!"]]

[[Team Prime]] surrounded the museum, while [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] [[GroundBridge|GroundBridge]]d the children into the museum to steal the Harvester. But [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] and Breakdown attacked the Autobots, [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]] snatched the Harvester from the kids, and Miko was arrested. Bulkhead deduced [[Starscream (WFC)|Starscream]] would return to Greece to harvest the untapped energon source. Starscream had already demonstrated its power by absorbing the life from a [[Vehicon (Prime)|Vehicon]] and was harvesting the energon when Bulkhead arrived. The Decepticon attempted to use it to kill Bulkhead, but he grabbed onto it, causing it to overload. Bulkhead threw the Harvester into the air, where it safely exploded.

Later, [[William Fowler|Agent Fowler]] gave a replica of the Harvester (made by Ratchet) to the museum and got Miko out of trouble with the [[Museum security guard|security guard]]. {{storylink|Deus ex Machina}}

==Notes==
*In ''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron'', the Energon Harvester is a shotgun-like weapon that siphons energon from targets and utilizes that energon to repair its user. It fires a quick burst of moderately powerful rounds, best at close range, but the accuracy is pretty good for a shotgun.

Star Saber (Thirteen)

Singing Metal Cr0w: /* Foreign names */

{{disambig3|Star Saber}}
[[Image:Star Saber(Prime).jpg|thumb|500px|''There's a Star Saaaaber putting out the Sun...'']]
Wielded by [[Prima]], one of the [[Thirteen|original thirteen Transformers]] at the dawn of time, the '''Star Saber''' sword was a weapon unlike any other. Though several other swords throughout the [[multiverse]] share its name, only one could snuff out stars and crumble the stuff of planets into dust. Many legends swirl around this blade of blades, from its origin to it its precise nature to the circumstances surrounding its disappearance into the annals of history, but somewhere between fiction and fact, the Star Saber waits to be discovered again by one worthy enough to wield its power...

==Fiction==
===Fun Publications comics===

Due to unknown circumstances, long before recorded time began, the Star Saber was shattered into five pieces. To keep its fragments from falling into the wrong hands, [[Nexus Prime]] decided to use his very body to conceal it. His fellow original Transformers [[Vector Prime]] and [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] used the quantum edge of the blade (still functioning despite the sword's sad state), to carve Nexus Prime into five pieces, each of which became an individual: [[Heatwave (Timelines)|Heatwave]], [[Skyfall (Cybertron)|Skyfall]], [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], [[Topspin (Classics)|Topspin]] and [[Breakaway (Classics)|Breakaway]]. The five pieces of the Star Saber were then scattered across the [[multiverse]], followed soon by the five components of Nexus Prime, their knowledge of the pieces' locations and of their own previous lives suppressed until such time as the sword was needed again. {{storylink|Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 30|Nexus Prime profile}}

Uncounted aeons later, the components of Nexus Prime found each other once again, and the titan was re-formed. {{storylink|Reunification: Part 6}} He proceeded to embark on a multiversal journey with the [[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|negative-polarity]] [[Quintesson]] [[Aquarius (SG)|Aquarius]] in order to recover the sword fragments, but one major obstacle stood in their way: Nexus Prime's memories had not returned entirely. He knew that he was searching for an artifact powerful enough to collapse the entire multiversal stack, but could no longer remember what the artifact was, what its pieces looked like, or where exactly they were. When the pair made a stop in the "[[Transformers: Wings Universe|Wings Universe]]", however, Nexus felt that the [[Cybertron Elite Guard]] symbol he spotted on a box was somehow a clue, one that finally got him started on the right track. {{storylink|The Coming Storm: Part 1}}

After unknown further adventures, at least one fragment of the sword was successfully discovered in [[Axiom Nexus]], which Aquarius picked up from a [[Dorothy|courier]]. {{storylink|Transformers I.Q.#issue 48|Transformers I.Q. last issue review}}

===Aligned continuity family===
===="Aligned" novels====
[[File:TransformersVault-Prima.jpg|right|thumb]]
The Star Saber was one of the greatest weapons created by [[Solus Prime]]. To hide the full truth of its nature from any single Cybertronian, many myths exist about it; some claim that it was created out of three bots and wielded itself, others that it was integrated into the chassis of one of the [[Thirteen]], and others still that Solus forged it from the core of a star, using its own heat as her furnace. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}} More concretely, it is known that the [[Matrix of Leadership]] once adorned the sword's hilt. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

According to [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]], the Star Saber was shattered into five pieces after the defeat of [[Liege Maximo]]. Per Trion's story, Nexus Prime gathered the pieces, broke himself into five bots—[[Clocker (Prime)|Clocker]], [[Mainspring]], [[Chaindrive]], [[Pinion]], and [[Cannonspring]]—hid a piece inside each bot, and spread his component bots across the universe in order to keep the Star Saber away from [[the Fallen]]. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

Following the [[Great Exodus]] of Cybertronians from Cybertron, [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] was led across the galaxy by the Matrix of Leadership that he now bore, discovering on each stop blade-like fragments of Cybertronian metal. Optimus presumed them to be pieces of the Star Saber, but they were in actuality the [[Blades of Time]], another artifact entrusted to Nexus. However, Prime's journey had also led to the discovery of the five components of Nexus Prime, who reformed during a battle with the Decepticons on [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. The sword he proceeded to summon was, contrary to legend, named the "[[Cyber Caliber]]", calling into question whether or not the story about him being guardian of the Star Saber was true. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}}

====''Prime'' cartoon====
[[Image:Legacy-PrimeStarSaber.jpg|left|thumb|300px| I have the power!!]]

The Star Saber was held in the [[Vaults|Iacon vaults]] near the end of the war, and ejected into space with the rest of the items stored there. It found its way to [[Earth]] where it became entombed in rock. When [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] uncovered it, he found that its energy rendered the rock around it indestructible and he was unable to extract it. The Decepticons attempted to lift the whole rock face with the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', but Optimus Prime was able to pull it from the stone. With it, he split the entire mountain in half and unleashed a wave of energy that struck the ''Nemesis''. [[Alpha Trion (Prime)|Alpha Trion]] later sent Optimus Prime a message using the sword. {{storylink|Legacy}}

[[Image:Prime-AlpgaOmegabrokensabre.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Mazel tov!]]
Desperate to match Optimus' newfound power, Megatron transplanted the arm of a [[dead Prime]] onto himself, which allowed him to use the [[Forge of Solus Prime]] to forge the [[Dark Star Saber]]. He challenged Optimus to a battle for the latest relic, and though their swords seemed to be equal when it came to flinging energy waves around, the original Star Saber proved to be less durable when Megatron managed to shatter it with his own blade. The shards from the blade dissolved into dust, and Optimus took the hilt back to base with him. {{storylink|Alpha/Omega}}

After regaining the [[Forge of Solus Prime]], Optimus used it to reforge the Star Saber and took it with him to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. He used it in battle with Megatron, matching the Dark Star Saber, and keeping his opposite busy while the other Autobots reclaimed the [[Omega Key]]s. Once they'd succeeded, he used the sword to knock Megatron flying so the Autobots could retreat. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}}

With the Decepticons threatening the kids, Optimus had no choice but to throw down the Star Saber. When it turned out Megatron intended to destroy Earth, he picked up the sword again, using it to slice off Megatron's right arm and destroy the [[Omega Lock]]. He later used it to destroy the GroundBridge controls so the Decepticons couldn't work out where the Autobots had retreated to, though as moments later the Decepticons destroyed the base with Optimus and the sword still in it, the act was rendered moot. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

==Notes==
*At Botcon 2010, Fun Publications said that Hasbro has, in effect, taken custody of the character of Nexus Prime due to their plans for the Thirteen. Because of this, Fun Pub will not be continuing his story. Thus, whether or not we will ever find out the fate of his quest to reunite the Star Saber remains in doubt—though Fun Pub were able to make a quick nod toward his continuing mission a few years later in [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 48|issue #48]] of their magazine.
*The sketchy relationship between the "Aligned" universe and the multiverse that Fun Publications' stories take place would suggest that the Saber's appearance in the ''Prime'' cartoon does not have any bearing on Nexus Prime's quest.
*The exact connection between Nexus Prime and the Star Saber in the Aligned novels is a bit of a mess, simply because ''Exiles'' is so riddled with plotting and continuity errors that it's hard to tell if the "Cyber Caliber" is actually a different sword from the Star Saber, or if the book just used the wrong name for a few pages. While continuity between the ''Prime'' cartoon and the novels is decidedly wobbly, the sword's later appearance in the cartoon—while probably not ''intended'' to solve the novel's errors—can be seen to suggest that Nexus never had the Star Saber, that just being another of the many myths surrounding the blade.

[[Swindle (G1)|Swindle]] may buy and sell an arsenal's worth of weapons in a day, but he keeps an occasional piece of merchandise for himself. His '''scatter blaster''' fires a wide spray of explosive buckshot - perfect for keeping away dissatisfied customers.

[[Wildrider (G1)|Wildrider]] uses the similar scattershot gun, which he could've easily bought off of Swindle. If he shoots at anything, including small five story buildings in a fifty-square yard area, up to a 1/4 mile away, THE TERRORISTS WIN.
