** They also introduced Protoforms, though what they are can vary from the equivalent young, infant, or even prenatal Cybertronians, to simply a Cybertronians' basic form. (The movie toy packaging stands alone in using "Protoform" to mean "Cybertronian who hasn't scanned an Earth mode yet," which would make the ''entire'' casts of ''The War Within'' or ''War for Cybertron'' protoforms.) Not every series included them, but a lot did.

** As of Series IV, Lister's backstory with Kochanski was retconned to one closer to what appeared in the novel ''Red Dwarf: Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers'' than had been detailed in the first two series. Originally he'd been hopelessly in love with her, but never had the nerve to ask her out ("In your entire life, your conversations with her totalled 123 words. You had a better relationship with your rubber plant"); in the books they dated for a while, then she got back with "Tim, or Tom, or it may have been Tony" from Catering. The breakup first gets mentioned on screen in the Season IV episode "DNA", and Tim is referenced in Season VII's "Ouroboros" and Season VIII's "Krytie TV".

* ''TabletopGame/{{Pathfinder}}'': The PlayerParty in the 2018 ''VideoGame/PathfinderKingmaker'' video game, adapted from the ''Kingmaker Adventure Path'' tabletop campaign by Creator/OwlcatGames, included two characters from the tabletop game ([[Characters/PathfinderIconics Amiri]] and [[Characters/PathfinderAdventurePathKingmaker Jubilost Narthropple]]) and eleven original characters. In 2022, Paizo released an add-on for the Second Edition remake of the ''Kingmaker Adventure Path'', the ''Kingmaker Companion Guide'', which adapted Owlcat's implementation of all thirteen characters back into tabletop format, along with personal sidequests for seven of them. The ''Kingmaker Bestiary'' re-stats them for First Edition.

* ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'': While the [[Film/InspectorGadget first film]] had a talking Gadgetmobile with a hip and fun attitude, it is well liked that they kept his traits into the cartoon after 1999.

** Speaking of homeworld, ''Power Rangers: The Movie'' had Lord Zedd acknowledge that Zordon's home planet is Eltar, something that was never mentioned in the show. Since then, Eltar was mentioned in a few post-MMPR seasons. Though this was in the UniverseBible, so it's more that the movie was just the first to use the idea.

** The game didn't even ''have'' two-handed Thunder Hammers before ''VideoGame/DawnOfWar'' gave one to its Force Commander.
*** Technically the Thunder Hammer is not a two-handed weapon, you just can't get a bonus attack unless you have a pair (or in 6th edition, a Thunder Hammer and a Powerfist/Lightning Claw), which no official model has. However, it was not available for a power armoured character until the 5th edition Space Marine codex, which came out after Dawn of War.
