Not everyone here has been a collector since the 1980s, and as one who was, I didn't even know about this either until at least a decade later, as I wasn't even aware of it being an issue at the time... considering how many loose Megatron toys I found during the 1990s at flea markets and garage sales. I ended up having 3 or 4 junkers at one stage, before getting a minty fresh one several years later, probably one of the early millennial reissues.
