As a result Optimus quickly came back and from then on Hasbro started looking into upgrading the existing characters to release new toys rather than offing and replacing them (such as upgrading Optimus to Power Master, then Action Master) and as the franchise moved into various new iterations and remakes it would be Optimus and the original Autobots who would becoming iconic and frequently recur throughout while most of the season 3 characters introduced in the movie didn't catch on.

* Steve Rogers, the original ComicBook/CaptainAmerica was killed off after the end of the ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' crossover, with his mantle passing to his former sidekick Bucky. Bucky himself apparently died during the ''ComicBook/FearItself'' storyline (suspiciously around the time the [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger Captain America movie]] was coming out) so Steve could reclaim the mantle. In a twist, it turned out that Bucky's death had merely been a fake-out so that he could return to the Winter Soldier identity.
