** Don't know that "protecting humanity" was a factor in their programming (though "'''EVERYTHING else is just a toy'''" was). And considering how quick the Commandos were to consider humans tangentially related to the Gorgonites as enemy combatants (even ''shooting Timmy in the face'' before he has a chance to "declare his allegiance"), any kid with a beloved teddy bear or furby might be at risk in that scenario.

** This is explained in the movie. Bill Mars' assistant tells Larry and Irwin that he wants the Gorgonite and Commando Elite toylines ready for sale in three months, and Irwin tries tell her that it takes six months in part because of product testing, but Larry assures her that three months is fine. In other words, production was rushed and corners were cut as a result.

** Kinda FridgeBrilliance. The Gorgonites are a more primitive race, without as much medical skill, while the Commandos are military trained, and Bazooka was really just disassembled They put him back together, with tape to make sure he stayed together, much like a cast. Nick Nitro, on the other hand, was SHREDDED. His legs were destroyed, not just taken off. Think chainsaw vs car for damage. Of course, It's been years since I saw the film, so I might be wrong. But it was my favourite movie way back, and I watched it a LOT.
** They didn't want to turn him into what they viewed as a "hideous beast".
** If you believe what Chip Hazard said, The garbage disposal didn't just slice Nick's legs of but also cut through the Lithium Cell causing the battery acid to leak out. Sort of a toy's equivalent to bleeding to death.

*** Looked like mostly just stuff from the hardware section.
** Forced rarity like that actually happens. Often because of low expected demand, it can be very likely that their might have only been a single Chip in the bunch. This happens a lot with team toylines like the ''Power Rangers:'' a shipment can contain a few dozen of the Red and Blue Rangers, and maybe a single Pink or Yellow, with almost no villains to speak of. The lack of Chip was something of the inverse of real life, but in the context of a single shipment, it does happen.
