I'll say. I've never seen a Transformer line that didn't have a cartoon show or comic book to support it sell so well since Car Robot/early RiD (as the toys did come out here before the cartoon aired and before RiD a lot of people were importing CR toys despite never watching the animé) and Binaltech (not so much Alternators - they didn't sell as quickly and some did shelf warm). Having said that, a large part of the appeal of Binaltech and Classics is that they are based on memorable G1 characters. I would have to give Car Robot/early RiD more kudos as those figures were highly popular despite not being widely supported by a comic/cartoon and not being based on G1 (Super Fire Convoy is obviously a tribute to Optimus Prime, but not based on the same character).
