They are very close though.

RID toys flew of the shelves because the were realistic vehicles, a much needed novelty after the Beast era. Also, a lot of fans here were tuned out back then and didn't come back until the movie (which is why I thought that line would be a bit higher). Those fans can only catchup with RID (see the who's Sky-Byte? questions in the Hall of Fame threads) but they saw Animated firsthand.

As great as RID is, there's a lot of repaints of toys from other eras in that line (part of the charm IMO) as well a redubbed cartoon, and that makes it a bit of a mish-mash, compared to the more consistent vision of Animated (thanks Derrick, Eric, etc).
