From the people who brought you the "Takara to Reissue more Gestalts" rumor comes "More Takara Reissue Rumors." I've heard from more than one person that Takara's Special Edition reissue of Predaking will lead to more reissues outside of the Transformers Collection line. The gestalts may find there way into the line, but so may other fan favorites. On the short list of figures Takara might be looking to throw at fans are the City Formers, Metroplex (Metrotitan), Trypticon, and the Maximus family (Fortress and Grand).

The odds of a Fort/Grand Maximus reissue seem rather slim at the moment. Takara's not doing to hot financially, and (believe it or not) two foot robot toys are not exactly cheap to manufacture. However, they have recently busted out the Maximus mold to produce the Robotmasters' Lucky Draw Brave Maximus, so the possibility is there.

Would the same fans who are turned of by the 150 dollar asking price of Predaking be willing to drop 200 dollars (or more) for Fortress Maximus? How about Grand Maximus?
