    TR Trypticon.

    Why:
    Largest Decepticon toy ever produced
    A Decepticon citybot, which has not been released in the US since G1 Scorponok in 1987
    Proof of concept involved stripping TR Fortress Maximus and readjusting parts to form a dinosaur silhouette, proving figure can be made with roughly the same parts count as Fort Max
    Winner of the fan vote for 2016's Titan Class Figure

    Epitomizes the popularity of the brand and the current highs we're enjoying as collectors: Autobots are better sellers than Decepticons, and city bots were dormant for almost 30 years until metroplex broke the silence. It is only because the brand is currently successful that Hasbro even entertained the idea of a large Decepticon figure, when the design budget could easily have been allocated to various autobots if the brand were not as popular as it is today.

    basically, TR Trypticon exists because the brand is as successful as it is. Every other figure up for nomination could be produced one way or another, but citybots are only made with the brand is flush with cash.

    As much as I want to nominate TR Trypticon, with reports of some toys breaking, I'm holding that back.

    Instead, I'm opting for TR Topspin. Send a message to Hasbro that he's the right size, the right complexity and the right amount of deco at the $15 pricepoint. And he's just SOOOOO awesome....

    Obviously TLK's 1-step Dragonstorm is the figure to end all figures

    But not in a good way

    Does Titans Return Triggerhappy count? He was released near the end of 2016. If so, I'm going with him. If not, TLK Voyager Megatron.

    Out of the stuff I bought thus far, Titans Return Topspin. His transformation is far more involved and clever than it needed to be, and his spaceship mode reminds me of Gradius.
