The last one was in 2015, but yes, annuals are in theory meant to be published every year.
Transformers didn't get that treatment in 2016, but then again, this is IDW.
Everything is on track, according to IDW standards.

Everything else! Annuals tend to not necessarily have a big impact on the ongoing story (though this one looks like it might) but feed directly off them.

To be fair, the two Annuals in 2012 did have a pretty solid impact on their respective ongoings. They were both essentially extra long issues of MTMTE and RID.
