I only own Fort Max, but the city mode is a joke. Trypticon is probably the best of those I've seen.

My vote is for Metroplex too. The robot may be a little skinny but the city mode is magnificent and blew me away like the original did. I spent ages just looking at that. Other titans have had good bases, Trypticon is good, but Metroplex is the one I'd keep hold of if I could only have one.

my daughter loved picking him up and carrying him around the flat like a pampered pet Aww that's adorable! And I bet Trypticon was a goodie all along? Of course! Just like most Transformers are actually girls, and Decepticon girls are just Autobot girls undercover |

Easily Trypticon for me - what's not to love about what is essentially robot Godzilla? He's MEANT to be big. And he is! His proportions make him the Titan that actually looks the most like it's actually meant to be massive - Omega Supreme comes clase, but Metroplex is too skinny. And yeah, his base modes are the best, with actual ramps and doors and things. If I could keep only one Titan, it'd be him.
And Fort Max, because Fort Max.

I'm going for Scorponok. Fab toy and manage to overcome my personal desire for it to be a tad smaller.
Behind him is Trypticon - way better than he ought to be - and Omega Supreme.
Max and Metroplex both have their pros and cons but neither of the combiners feels quite right

My personal favourite is Scorponok, but like Devastator as much for different reasons. These are the only two I own.
But Trypticon must be the best overall, looking at it. Great city mode and his size makes sense.

I found Trypticon surprisingly disappointing compared to Omega Supreme. Still have a soft spot for Fortress Maximus as it’s a nice update on the original while remaining faithful to the Headmasters vibe. Only disappointment was getting the Cerebrospinal head rather than the Fortress one like in Japan.

I ended up with both heads. After SDCC Fort Max happened cheap, I bought Legends Bumblebee which came with the Spike/Cerebros head. Still cheaper than buying the original!

Yeah. Hasbro not making the true head available was a really dick move.

I passed on the cheap SDCC Fort Max, despite it being cheap, because I already had a Hasbro Fort Max and I preferred the Cerebros head, and wasn't interested in the Fortress head. And then, yes, LG Bumblebee and Spike happened and I regretted that decision. Ah well. My Fort Max is also all Reprolabelled up, too, so it looks better than the plain released and that time I invested in applying the stickers means I have a bond with it... |

I decided the only way I will ever get excited for a titan class toy is a Klud vs Longtooth. Titan TM2 Humpback Whale Klud, with a deluxe TM2 Walrus Longtooth.

An idea: Energon Omega Supreme for 2024 Titan?

It's a Quintesson ship next, which will be called Quintessa.

I'd be down for an Energon Omega.
As they're soooo toon though now I'd love a curve ball - Broadside the same height as Devastator.

I will sleep on a bed of Titans.
Actually, Black Zarak was the one that broke the bank. He didn't fit on the Titan shelf so he got kicked up to the loft and is generally in the way not fitting into the organised pattern of boxes up there.

Titan Cybertron Metroplex is a reasonable price these days but where would I put it? I keep being tempted but then reality hits me.

He would probably make a good replacement table leg.
