It was hugely controversial back then.

Hasbro decided to move on to new G1 toys and the decision was made to kill Prime in the movie and discontinue his toys.

Hasbro and the producers got so much backlash that they had to change the end of the G.I Joe movie. A movie which had been finished already (Duke died originally but they later changed it to him being unconscious or something).

They underestimated how much Prime meant to us at the time.
