A little promotional catalog which was available during SDCC 2016, advertising the Titans Return line is now available to download for free. Hasbro Pulse website has made it available for everyone, in PDF format.
“The Transformers Generations franchise takes fans on a deep dive into the Titans Return universe with an exclusive 4-part comic-book style story that shows key Titans Return characters in action and sets the stage for the epic battle ahead! The Power of the Titan Masters book tells the story of four battles within the Titans Return universe. Each battle centers around the Titan Masters, small bots that give bigger bots increased abilities.
Each story comes to life on a comic-book-style splash page featuring new art created just for this book. On the following pages you’ll go beyond the blister card and binge read character content that introduces the key Autobot heroes and Decepticon villains in Titans Return and offers new secrets behind the mysterious and powerful Titan Masters. Who wields that power is up to you! The story starts here in the Power of the Titan Masters.”

It's literally a storybook. Kids might be reading it, and I don't think Hasbro wants to deal with that. Also, it's probably not IDW continuity. Just saying.
Fallout
man, this comic is bullshit. why isn't sentinel being racist as hell?
Nevermore
It's an early working name that didn't get fixed.

I've been making a list of all the Titan master's powers, and this has been really helpful. I've found all the wave 1 and 2 ones.

Okay so the use of bios for the individual Titan Masters is actually pretty cool, I dig the idea of attaching powers to each of them – it's a good way to make a better sell. The artwork and dialogue also really reminds me of old 80s promo art and the corny dialogue of old comics. Though I don't know if that's necessarily a good or bad thing, it's just… kind of cute.
Autobot X
Clobber's bio says he grants super strength, and Nucleon's part of Galvatron's bio says that he "brings increased strength and unpredictable powers, but can damage the bot he unites with beyond repair."

Why not both at once? I could get behind some HeadTargetmasters.
NemiMonkey
So they don't name him Terri-bull, he's called Rot-gut here, and he's basically Blot? What?

I love that they are doing a homage to Lione ( Sawback ) I want more of the ones that appeared/sorta of in the cartoon.
Shatterpoint
Wheelie may have spent untold years aloneon a barbaric world but Blurr is the real savage here.
Focksbot
Hmm. I think what's really missing in the line-up is a Titan Master that enhances its carrier's power/strength. Can't believe they missed that out.
Also, two different Titan Masters with cloaking powers is not enough. We need at least four, I would say.

Here's the rest of the artwork, unfettered by speech bubbles and whatnot. Sadly, the profile pages don't appear so easy to deconstruct, so I haven't included them here:

Totally!! While ridiculous, was kind of fun. Major Armada/Cybertron vibe going on here though but the art and battles sorta reminded me of the promo stuff they did with the Action Masters. So of course Galvatron's bio talks about Nucleon.
Actually looking forward to seeing what 3rd parties do regarding alternate heads (don't even have to be headmasters) and maybe targetmasters or at least weapons that look like targetmasters.
Spectra
Heh, this is cute. Really digging the 80's pack-in comic vibe. It's a shame we never got one for Combiner Wars…
saucesmithco
Yeah, I'll try and nab the rest of the artwork shortly!
saucesmithco
Yeah, will do in a bit! (Though the bio pages seem to break, so it will probably be just the comic art pages which I can rescue!)

Finally, my phone creaked and groaned through the PDF and I got some phone friendlyscreenshots. Here are JPG versions of the pages for those who can't open PDF files. Enjoy!
Edit:
It seems that, for some odd reason, TFW2005 won't allow me to attach images in this thread. That's never happened before. I was going to them upload them to Seibertron and post links there, but they've already beaten me to it!
Here is there page, with JPG images for those that can't access the PDF:
