A leviathan monolith, it unfolds and reassembles into a geometric weapon of mass desctruction, firing beams of burning Plasma energy. The only good thing about seeing it in such a mode, is that an apparent control core appears, from which the beam is emitted. This essentially is a Mexican Standoff-- and here you've brought hand weapons to a heavy artillery fight.

The Blaster Launcher will become availible to you in the same mission as the Titan's appearance, and it holds a total of 9 rounds (and fires in 3-shot bursts, so you have 3 shots). Scoring a hit on the Titan's core with the Blaster decimates it's HP. If you Lift an Engineer's turret, it may get in some shots as well. As it is a flying unit, ground-based weapons are, naturally, useless.

For defense, your best bet is to run (hold Left Shift) and dodge-roll (C) behind heavy cover to try to get it's targeting lazer to lose tracking of Carter, as the Titan will almost always focus it's fire on him. The Recon's Decoy may buy you a few seconds, and Sheilds may at least reduce damage.

When the Titan does fire, the blast zone remains bathed in plasma, so don't linger if you do get hit.
