What MarioRocks2 described has been done before, with a show also done by Ocean. Beast Wars had a limit on how many characters could be in it, and were introducing Quickstrike and Silverbolt in Season 2. So in the season premiere, they killed off Terrorsaur and Scorponok via lava pit, just like that. Terrorsaur was supposed to become a transmetal, but somepony had to die in place of Waspinator who was too popular. Then they killed Dinobot so Rampage could appear. They remove Tigatron and Airazor for Dinobot II and Depthcharge, and in the same episode Tigatron and Airazor return as Tigerhawk, Tarantulas is destroyed to conclude the alien Vok saga.

Hopefully the only one who dies in this episode is King Sombra, and I've said before how they should do it.
