As for Defensor, Superion, Devastator and Menasor, Takara have officially said that they will not be reissuing these gestalts. They said that it was because these gestalts have been heavily bootlegged and that Takara are not interested in competing against bootleggers in an unfair market (because there's just no way they can possibly make their reissues as cheap as KOs). Takara quickly jumped on reissuing Predaking - we saw KO Predakings cropping up shortly after the reissue came out.
There wasn't any real doubt over a reissue Metroplex but Omega Supreme was in doubt because the mould was never owned by Takara, but since Takara has merged with TOMY they've been able to acquire non-Takara moulds which have since been purchased by TOMY, such as Sky Lynx and Omega Supreme. (-_-)
