Titanium Series

The Titanium Series is a Hasbro toyline of partially die-cast toys produced by their Galoob branch. Originally consisting entirely of Star Wars vehicles of various sizes, it has since expanded into Battlestar Galactica vehicles, Marvel Comics characters and Transformers.

Transformers Titaniums are produced in two size classes:

• Robot Masters are 3-inch, non-transformable, die-cast figurines of Transformers characters from various past and present toy lines.
• Cybertron Heroes are 6-inch, transformable, partially die-cast toys, representing both pre-existing toy designs as well as all-new models by Don Figueroa.

It is worth noting that since the Titaniums are developed by a separate branch of Hasbro from the normal Transformers team (who only has some input into character choices and looks), they do not take away "slots" from other Transformers lines. They are also not engineered or "mech-designed" by Takara.

They are also not actually made of titanium.

Cancellation

In July of 2007, Hasbro announced that no new Titanium figures would be produced, and that the line would end after the upcoming release of figures already completed: Primal Prime, Soundblaster, Skywarp, War Within Grimlock, and War Within Prowl. But as of six months later, none of those figures had been released, and Hasbro announced that they no longer had any plans to mass-produce or release them.

Several other 6" figures were canceled at much earlier stages in development: Hasbro showed unfinished prototypes of Arcee, Cosmos, Shockwave and War Within Bumblebee (with an additional Cliffjumper head), purely for informational purposes, as they were very clear that they no longer had plans to complete development on those figures. However, the Transformers Collectors Club roundtable has suggested there "may still be hope" for these figures to be produced in some form as part of other toylines.
