Kremlin

Pictured: a building which is not the Kremlin

The Kremlin is a large building in Moscow, Russia. Trying to steal it is a sure way to get the Russians ticked off.

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

Octane promised Abdul Fakkadi that Trypticon would steal the Kremlin for him to use as a political center. Having gotten wind of the upcoming theft, the Autobots camped out in Red Square to wait for him, though Metroplex was held up by a Siberian snowstorm. Trypticon arrived and picked up the massive building, however Metroplex turned up just in time to chase him off. Unfortunately as he was returning the Kremlin to its rightful place, the Russian troops present mistakenly thought he was the one stealing it, and opened fire. Enraged at the attempted theft, the Soviets had the Autobots ejected from their country. Thief in the Night

Notes

• The building depicted as being grabbed by Trypticon is actually Saint Basil's Cathedral. The Kremlin itself is a 68-acre walled fortress containing a number of buildings and would be much harder for a giant robot kaiju to pick up.
