VWXYZ & related fusion monsters question
from UDE's Judge Certification Program (YGO)

I was looking at the rulings for the XYZ FUSION MONSTERS and VWXYZ-DRAGON CATAPULT CANNON. Their summoning requirements are the same, yet VWXYZ can be Special Summoned from the Graveyard and the XYZ monsters cannot. The rulings are from the UDE website here. I do not see anything that would allow one monster to be Special Summoned and not the other. Could you please explain why the rulings are like this?

VWXYZ-DRAGON CATAPULT CANNON
Once properly Summoned by the method written in the text this card canbe Special Summoned from the Graveyard with effects like “Call of theHaunted” or “Re-Fusion”.

XYZ FUSION MONSTERS
The following rules apply to "XYZ-Dragon Cannon", "YZ-Tank Dragon", "XY-Dragon Cannon", and "XZ-Tank Cannon".
These monsters cannot be Special Summoned from the Fusion Deck exceptby the method described in their text. So they cannot be SpecialSummoned by the effect of "Magical Scientist" or "Summoner ofIllusions". They cannot be Special Summoned from the Graveyard evenafter they have been Special Summoned by the method described in theirtexts.
