History

Titans were a type of giant Transformer from the planet Cybertron.
IDW
The Titans were city-sized mustrious group of ancient Cybertronians of unspeakable power, 'living starships' who hailed from the earliest days of the Cybertronian species. Notably, they were the only Transformers to possess a built-in spacebridge, which allowed them and their occupants to instantaneously travel across vast stretches of space. All Titans possessed 'super-sparks' which spanned multiple planes of existence, and supposedly shared a degree of 'interconnectedness' that linked one Titan to the rest. Cybertronian legend venerates three particular Titans who are regarded as the original three Titans: Metroplex, the 'First Titan', Chela, the 'Golden Warrior', and Metrotitan. Those same stories hold that these three Titans joined Primus when he battled against his opposite. These first three Titans were supposedly joined by many other, lesser Titans, though the exact origins of the Titans has never been specified. One such Titan was Trypticon; legends claimed that he had been raised by the deity Mortilus to combat the Titans of Primus during the God War that marked the end of the reign of the Guiding Hand. Ten million years ago, in the wake of this conflict the legendary Transformers known as the Knights of Cybertron—acolytes of the Guiding Hand—led their followers off Cybertron aboard a fleet of Titans in the hopes of spreading enlightenment across the universe. Over time, the Titan fleet dispersed across the galaxy, and though at least one Titan found its way to the planet Mederi along with the Knights of Cybertron, the rest fell into disrepair over the millennia, growing increasingly decrepit and weak from underfuelling. Those Titans that chose not to undergo this voyage remained on Cybertron for a time, lying dormant until the unification of the Thirteen Tribes. In a conflict between the forces of the Crystal City and the barbaric hordes of Megatronus's Darklanders, Onyx Prime was somehow able to "summon" the first three Titans from the ground, and their arrival gave the battling warriors pause long enough for Onyx to halt the fighting, with the three Titans standing vigil over the village during the subsequent celebrations. As the Thirteen rose, Alpha Trion befriended Metroplex, and the pair set off to explore Cybertron before the rise of civilization changed everything.

Notes
- The Titans featured in various continuities of the Transformers universe.
- Originally, author James Roberts described them as Metrotitans, repurposing the name of the Zone Decepticon, but this was abandoned almost immediately: in the 2012 Robots in Disguise annual, released the same month, the species were called only "Titans", and the single Titan involved in the story was referred to as 'The Metrotitan'; soon after, Robots in Disguise #11 dropped the 'The' when referring to him, using the word as an individual's name.

Television
- In Transformers: Cyberverse, various Titans appeared in the setting of the animated television series.
