Line 112:
* Most ''[[Transformers]]'' series does this. Heck, in ''[[Beast Wars]]'', new cast members do, in fact, fall from the sky, generally in stasis pods. The upside of this is twofold: one, it makes [[Merchandise-Driven|introducing new product]] go down smoother and easier; and two, if there's any race in the universe that knows [[Establishing Character Moment|how to make an entrance]], it's the Transformers.
** With ''[[Transformers Armada]]'', it was more that "reinforcements" for both sides were either late to the party or weren't summoned until later. Apparently Megatron thought he could handle things with three mediocre soldiers and Optimus with two.
* The [[Five Episode Pilot]]s of ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'' and ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' revealed the main characters throughout the episodes. In each case, only the original main characters (Scrooge and his nephews, Chip and Dale) were featured in the very first episode, with the other characters appearing later on in the stories.
* The first five episodes of ''[[X-Men: Evolution|X-Men Evolution]]'' are almost solely devoted to this, generally with both the X-Men and the rival Brotherhood recruiting a new member in each episode.
* The computer-animated show ''[[Shadow Raiders]]'', this is rather conspicuous. The main character and the plot-driving character are introduced in the first episode, along with a couple more important characters. Then, within the span of five episodes, you've seen everyone of note. If the character wasn't introduced in the first five episodes, they're cannon fodder.
