Sadly I think Car Robots is going to be an all but forgotten part of Transformers history. With so few re-releases -the God Magnus is the only one I can remember- in Japan I don't know we will ever see much in the future.
Heck, there doesn't seem to be enough interest for anyone in the US to sign Car Robots (though that may be a case where Shout Factory! has the rights in a package deal and just doesn't see it as worthwhile) so unless Michael Bay (or his successor) hires a director who loves that part of the franchise there probably won't be a push in the US to help get a groundswell here either.
Maybe we will see a Masterpiece Fire Convoy that will help re-ignite it, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
*grumbles* Can't even get a US release of Car Robots or Beast Wars II and Neo on DVD *grumble*
