If you didn't care what happened to me
And I didn't care for you...

The Battersea Titan<ref>Per his official store name before the voting results were revealed.</ref> is a colossal Titan which transforms into none other than London's own Battersea Power Station.

Fiction

Gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused...

Battersea Power Station comic

In 1986, Wheeljack aided Optimus Prime in following a mysterious spark uplink, indicating the presence of a Cybertronian of unknown alleigance. The search would lead to London's Battersea district, but upon arrival, Optimus would only find the derelict remains of a large power station.

Suddenly, after scanning and recognizing Optimus' Matrix of Leadership, the power station transformed into a colossal robot, revealing itself to be the Cybertronian lifeform that the Autobots were after! Battersea Power Station

Merchandise

£12 for a fridge magnet?! You gotta be crazy... You gotta have a real need...

• Titan Magnet (2025)

A small magnet based on one of Battersea Titan's key artworks was sold as part of the characters' promotional reveal. The website describes it as a "limited-edition" product, though exactly how limited it is remains unknown.

• Titan Pin Badge (2025)

A pin badge featuring the exact same design as the aforementioned magnet was also sold as another limited-edition item.

Oddly, the both the magnet and the pins are called "Titan Magnet (Colour)" / "Titan Pin Badge (Colour)" on the official website... But no "non-colour" version of these products exists, at least as of now.

• Titan Gold Coin / Titan Silver Coin (2025)

Two collectible coins were also released alongside Battersea Titan's promotional material, with the gold coin featuring art of Battersea Power Station and the silver coin featuring art of the Battersea Titan. As with the items above, they're also "limited-edition release(s)" of an unknown quantity.

• Titan Advent Calendar (2025)

An advent calendar with a lenticular version of Battersea Titan's control art stuck on the front, containing six (guaranteed) different random Blokees Defender model kits from each of the first four waves, making 24 total, plus a "non-Blokees" exclusive item for the big day itself. The advent calendar was first announced at the Battersea-sponsored TFNation 2025, where it was made available for pre-order before the contents were even revealed; the fact that there would be no new Blokees toys in the set was not made especially clear. Defender Blokees retail for about £3 each; this advent calendar costs £100. You do the math.

Notes

• A (currently ongoing) poll was launched on the 17th of September of 2025 to determine what would be the character's proper name, with the three available options being "Turbine Maximus", "Metroboss", and "Autobot Powerplex".<ref>Transformers Battersea Fan Vote: Choose The Name Of The New Titan And First Promotional Images on TFW2005</ref> Eesh.
  • While Battersea Titan's allegiance is unknown in the comics, the fact that "Autobot Powerplex" is one of the possible names suggests that he is, eventually, going to be an Autobot.
• Since the comic is set in 1986, the Battersea Titan is based on the previously-abandoned version of the Battersea Power Station (famously featured in the cover of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals), rather than its modern renovated equivalent.
• The Battersea Titan transforms from a red brick building to a generic coincidentally-brick-colored robot with no visible brickwork. How that works is left as an exercise for the imagination.
• For whatever reason, the large shoulder smokestacks on the control art for the Battersea Titan appear to have been crudely spliced-in after the fact.<ref>{{#if: Oh wait hang on, and did even those chimneys just get sloppily edited onto the art after the fact??? |"Oh wait hang on, and did even those chimneys just get sloppily edited onto the art after the fact???"—|}}{{#if: https://bsky.app/profile/jalaguy.bsky.social/post/3lyzn7gx2l22e |Jalaguy|Jalaguy}}{{#if: Bluesky |, Bluesky|}}{{#if: |, ""|}}{{#if: 2025 |, 2025{{#if: 09 |/{{#switch:{{#len:09}}|1=009|09}}{{#if: 17|/{{#switch:{{#len:17}}|1=017|17}}|}}}}|}}{{#if: https://bsky.app/profile/jalaguy.bsky.social/post/3lyzn7gx2l22e ||}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://bsky.app/profile/jalaguy.bsky.social/post/3lyzn7gx2l22e%7C7%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://bsky.app/profile/jalaguy.bsky.social/post/3lyzn7gx2l22e%7C8%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://bsky.app/profile/jalaguy.bsky.social/post/3lyzn7gx2l22e%7C7%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://bsky.app/profile/jalaguy.bsky.social/post/3lyzn7gx2l22e%7C8%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#if: | (dead link)}}</ref> Perhaps the first pass of the artwork only had the smaller chimmneys in the legs and forming the arm cannons, and thus had very little in the way of actually recognisable Battersea Power Station detail.
• The Battersea Titan was first announced with a breathless press release claiming that Transformers Day 2025 would see the release of a "brand-new Transformers TITAN!" This, naturally, led most fans to assume that this would be a reveal for an upcoming Titan Class toy. On Hasbro's side, brand manager Nate Purswell ended up needing to make a quick statement to clarify that it wasn't going to be a new toy.<ref>{{#if: Some really cool things happening at our Battersea store across the pond!
