I wish takara would fix and reissue the last three cars: wheeljack, sunstreaker, and mirage. I know that takara fixed the devy mold to tie into transformer 2. It would have been cool if they fixed the wheeljack mold to tie into transformers 3. I know the above is wishful thinking, but it would be cool to finally have the last 3 cars reissued.

Actually, I will have to correct you on the Constructicons. Those molds were only rumored to be lost, but were apparently found again in time. Maybe there was some fixing done like with Rumble and Frenzy, who knows? Sunstreaker has been rumored to be lost for a lot longer. Mirage is confirmed as lost, and Wheeljack is confirmed to be broken.
Broken molds are essentially useless, even if fixing can be done. I should add that fixing a mold is really expensive and generally not worth the time and resources unless the character is iconic or the damage isn't too terrible.

And before you ask, those KO's and bootlegs are reverse-engineered which is tricky business to get it absolutely right.

I second that JZGR

Though nearly identical, WJ's K.O as certain blemishes that make it stand out as a KO. Bad wheel rivets, plastic quality and lack of a forehead paint apps

And the logic about Devastar....4 years late since ROTF.
