Titanium Series is a Hasbro toyline of partly 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 untransformable die-cast figurines of Transformers characters from various past and present toylines. Cybertron Heroes are 6-inch transformable partly die-cast toys of (so far) new Transformers designs 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.

At BotCon 2007, Hasbro announced that with the release of the currently announced figures, the line will come to an end. While Hasbro also showed prototypes of 6" figures for Arcee, Cosmos, Shockwave and War Within Bumblebee, they are not included in the aforementioned announced figures. However, the Transformers Collectors Club roundtable has suggested there "may still be hope" for these figures to be produced in some form.
