For OOO, that gap was filled in by the Toridevendor. It of course isn't quite the same thing, but in terms of toylines that's basically what it was.

For Ex-Aid and Build, I theorise they just weren't able to justify it in the budget; maybe the Ghost and Drive ones didn't sell as well as they would have liked. With Zi-O and Zero-One though, the toylines are in a much smaller scale and that includes the big CGI mechs, so they became much more justifiable financially.
