The Titanium line is part of the Galoob company responsible for Micromachines, and started with Star Wars toys before expanding into other Hasbro-owned properties. The 3" figures are somewhat poseable but non-transforming, while the 6" figures more or less transform (the design team took a while to get the hang of it). The 3" figures tend to be around the $5-6 price point, while the 6" figures are around $15-17, depending on retailer.

3" Figures

Assortment 1 - War Within Optimus Prime, BW Megatron, G1 Starscream, Unicron, Alternators Side Swipe, Alternators Meister (called Autobot Jazz), Optimus Primal, Megatron (Cybertron), Autobot Starship Ark. Shipped in three overlapping waves. Updated 8/4/06 with WW Prime.
Assortment 2 - G1 Optimus Prime, Alternators Smokescreen, Bumblebee, Scorponok, Grimlock, Predaking. Shipping in overlapping waves with Assortment 1. As of 10/30/06 the review has all six.
Assortment 3 - G1 "Rodimus" (Targetmaster), G1 Thundercracker (recolor), G1 Galvatron, G1 Battle Damaged Optimus Prime (recolor). I'm calling this a new assortment because of the shift to two-figure waves and to using recolors. As of 1/12/07 has all but the Prime recolor. Which it isn't going to get.
Assortment 4 - AKA Movie Assortment 1. All 2007 Movie versions: Ironhide, Jazz, Megatron, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Blackout, Brawl, Ratchet. Does not seem to include the other two Prime molds from the Target 3-pack, just an 8-figure assortment.
Target Exclusive Movie 3-Pack - Movie Prime from Assortment 4, plus vehicle and protoform figures from the movie.

6" Figures

Wave 1 - War Within Optimus Prime, War Within inspired Megatron. Significant "breaking in period" flaws, don't get unless you're good at making repairs or plan to leave them in the box.
Wave 2 - War Within style designs of Thundercracker and Jetfire. Big improvement over wave 1.
Wave 3 - G1 Scourge and BW Optimal Optimus. Scourge is pretty good for a shellformer, OpOp is a design that doesn't translate well to this scale.
Wave 4 - G1 Soundwave and Rodimus Prime. Rodimus is seriously shortpacked, and Soundwave is seriously a disappointment. Updated 2/12/07 with Rodimus.
- Menasor - Comicon International exclusive redeco of Rodimus Prime. This is a guest review by Wonkimus Major, since I didn't pick this up online when it became available.
Wave 5 - War Within Starscream and RiD Optimus Prime. The inevitable recolors have started, and I didn't buy Starscream, a recolor of Thundercracker, but I did include his bio note. RiD Prime is pretty good.
Wave 6 - War Within Fallen and Beast Machines Cheetor. Fallen looks good but is floppy, Cheetor is solid and show-accurate.
Wave 7 - War Within Megatron and G1 Ultra Magnus. Updated 8/4/07 with Ultra Magnus.
Wave 8 - Sunstorm and War Within Ultra Magnus. Both are repaints, not getting even if I see them.
Wave 9 - War Within Prowl and Grimlock, released as "tail-end charlie" Toys R Us exclusives. Updated 10/26/08 with Grimlock.
Designs for Arcee (G1 car), Cosmos and Shockwave exist, but will not be made.
