For the ''[[Transformers: Prime (toyline)#Beast Hunters (2013)\|Beast Hunters]]'' [[subline imprint]], a range of PVC 6" '''Titan Guardians''' was introduced at a $7.99 price point.

	For San Diego Comic-Con 2013, a set of five [[Generation 1 continuity family\|Generation 1]] inspired 6" PVC '''Titan Warriors''' was released as a Hasbro convention exclusive, with remaining stock of the pack also later sold on Hasbro Toy Shop. In late 2014, four of the five figures were re-released individually at retail with generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)\|2014 ''Transformers'']]-branded manufacturer tags. While retaining the Titan Warriors name, in terms of distribution, they were treated as a second [[wave]] of the ''Beast Hunters'' Titan Guardians assortment (A6107) as listed above, thus making them a [[multi-brand assortment]].

In late 2014, four of the five figures were re-released individually at retail with generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)\|2014 ''Transformers'']]-branded manufacturer tags. While retaining the Titan Warriors name, in terms of distribution, they were treated as a second [[wave]] of the ''Beast Hunters'' Titan Guardians assortment (A6107) as listed above, thus making them a [[multi-brand assortment]].

	The tags for the retail releases include a list of available figures on the reverse side, but in addition to the four figures in the wave, Bumblebee, Shockwave and Wheeljack are given, with Wheeljack's name covered by a sticker. Wheeljack would presumably have been a new figure; it is unclear whether the same would have been true of Bumblebee and Shockwav, but either way their names were likely left uncovered due to their existing presence in the assortment via the original ''Beast Hunters'' wave.

	'''Titan Heroes''' is a cross-property brand used by [[Hasbro]] to sell 12" or larger figures that are inexpensive to produce, durable, and minimally articulated. While the implementation in other properties worked out okay, the complex nature of many character designs left the Transformers offerings looking woefully under-painted and often misproportioned. Despite pretty much everyone's first impression, these were not third party [[knockoff]]s.

The most prevalent theory is that Hasbro at one point intended to release more figures than these four but then decided to cancel the rest; Bumblebee and Shockwave's names were most likely kept because the previously released ''Beast Hunters'' figures are part of the same assortment, as mentioned above.		*The back of the tags for the Generation 1 figures released under the 2014 ''Transformers'' line features not only the name of those four figures, but also lists Bumblebee and Shockwave!

	For San Diego Comic-Con 2013, a set of five [[Generation 1 continuity family\|Generation 1]] inspired 6" PVC '''Titan Warriors''' was released as a Hasbro convention exclusive, with remaining stock of the pack also later sold on Hasbro Toy Shop. In late 2014, four of the five figures were re-released individually at retail with generic [[Transformers (2014 toyline)\|2014 ''Transformers'']]-branded manufacturer tags. While retaining the Titan Warriors name, in terms of distribution, they were treated as a second [[wave]] of the ''Beast Hunters'' Titan Guardians assortment (A6107) as listed above, thus making them a [[multi-brand assortment]].

	The tags for the retail releases include a list of available figures on the reverse side, but in addition to the four figures in the wave, Bumblebee, Shockwave and Wheeljack are given, with Wheeljack's name covered by a sticker. Wheeljack would presumably have been a new figure; it is unclear whether the same would have been true of Bumblebee and Shockwav, but either way their names were likely left uncovered due to their existing presence in the assortment via the original ''Beast Hunters'' wave.
