It's the same with every franchise though - the starting "cast" that made the franchise popular will ALWAYS be the one they use to get people to pay attention.

Transformers? Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee, Starscream, Ratchet ... they're in every series now. Movies, animated shows, comics ... you can't NOT find them. And while they may be "DIFFERENT" from the 1984 launch version, in essence, they're still the same.

Star Wars? It will always be Luke, Leia, Han, Chewy, Vader, Boba, and Yoda. Just look at the first releases for the Star Wars Black Label series ... with the exception of maybe one or two (Darth Maul), it's pretty much Movie 4's cast.

Power Rangers? There may be 20 years of history, but Mighty Morphin sells ... especially to the nostalgia boom, which Power Rangers is just now getting (Transformers had it about 10 years ago as well).

One just has to hope they throw the fans of the other 17 series some love
