I also prefer my Trypticon standing straight. It gives him a little more height (not like he needs it though, really) and it just looks more 'right' in my eyes. To each their own of course - if you want your giant-evil-robot-city-dinosaur to be scientifically accurate, go right ahead!

Both of mine had correct kneecaps, so I guess it's just an individual issue. That is an amusing enough problem to have though, and at least it doesn't affect anything too important. (I actually always forget about those pieces, until I try and transform Tilty into robot mode and wonder why the knees won't go, heheh.)

What's better? A G1 Trypticon that takes up less space and has motorised walking, or a TR Trypticon that takes up a lot of space and has a little bit of extra articulation and eats Titan Masters?
Because those are the only differing factors.
This much is true, but it can also be phrased thusly:
"What's better? A G1 Trypticon that's smaller and whose primary draw is a battery-powered walking gimmick, or a TR Trypticon that's imposingly big, more poseable and has a non-intrusive and entertaining 'eating' play feature?"Words can always be twisted
I totally wouldn't recommend TR Trypticon to people who're trying to fit all their Transformers onto a shelf display(s), but I also wouldn't recommend collecting city-bots in general to those people. I can't really compare the two for certain since I've never experienced G1 Tryp, but I do think TR Trypticon is worth your time and money if you enjoy big lugs and don't absolutely have to fit him onto a shelf or into a tightly-packed display.
