** From the villainous perspective: according to the Beast Wars: Transmetals game, had Megatron's plan to kill Optimus Prime succeeded, there would have been no Autobot Matrix of Leadership to stop Unicron from destroying Cybertron, dooming both races.
** Silverbolt pulls this off twice in the second season. In "Bad Spark", he unthinkingly detonates the energon crystals on which Protoform X's stasis pod has crashed, heavily damaging himself and his comrades Cheetor and Optimus Primal as well as releasing the monster that would become Rampage—in fact, it's possible that the energon storm he created might have actually jolted Rampage back to life in the first place. And then, in "The Agenda", he helps Blackarachnia open the blasted-shut tunnel leading to the Ark, thus giving Megatron direct access to the Autobots and Decepticons contained within and giving him the opportunity to attempt his "destroy Optimus Prime to change reality" gambit. [[Love Makes You Dumb]] indeed.
* In the pilot episode of the original ''[[ThundercatsThunderCats (1985 series)|ThundercatsThunderCats]]'', we are introduced to the main cast, fleeing their doomed homeworld, with Jaga and the then-child Lion-O watching as Thundera explodes. No explanation for this cataclysm is given on this episode, but a later episode reveals it was Jaga's fault. As a young warrior, he defeated the Mutant leader Ratilla the Terrible, confiscated the villain's [[Artifact of Doom| Sword of Plun-Dar]] (sort of an [[Evil Counterpart]] to the Sword of Omens) and hurled it into a volcano. But Jaga sorely underestimated the weapon's evil power; the lava didn't destroy it, and over the course of many years, it worked its way to Thundera's core, rending it from within and destroying the planet. Curiously, Jaga never seems to be held accountable for this.
* Occurs twice in the second ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' series: first when the turtles "kill" the Shredder in the "Return to New York" which sparks a gang war between different factions trying to [[Evil Power Vacuum|fill the power vacuum]]; the second when they steal the Heart of Tengu from The Foot to trade for a cure for the mutated Donatello. Unbeknownst to them, the Heart was the only thing binding a quintet of elemental mystics to the Foot's will; with its theft and subsequent destruction, the mystics were free to resurrect their master, the original (and demonic) Shredder.
** Occurred at least one time in the first ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987|TMNT]]'' series involving Donatello's inventions such as when Donatello created a clone of himself to do all the handyman's work. Except for that his clone doesn't follow orders and a glitch made him stronger and smarter than him. The clone soon worked for the mob boss Pinky McFingers to create millions of cloned rats to attack the city. It's up for the Turtles to fix this.
