In the case of Hot Rod the cosells are Autobot Ptero, Autobot Breakaway, Optimus Prime and Six Shot. The heads of the Titan Masters can be swapped from figure to figure, and the diagram helps illustrate this across size classes. The back of the packaging shows off the stock photography for the photo but more importantly, it shows off a diagram explaining the way the Titan Master play system works.
