Transformers

A series of Robot Toys created by Hasbro and Takara Tomy that turn into cars and other vehicles. Robots are cool, cars are cool and so they became popular. In 1984 they made some comics and a cartoon show. The comics show created a lot of toy sales and the toys kept the shows and comics popular. Over the years they changed things up to sell more toys and new series were made, some worked quite well (Beast Wars, Prime) others did not (Armada, Energon, Cybertron). It's amazing a tabletop game about sentient, shapeshifting robots fighting a war that varies from political to racial to theological hasn't been made yet. There are also 4 movies about Transformers made by Michael Bay, which is quite amazing since it´s about Robots fighting each other, able to transform into cars and stuff...
