I didn't think so based on the SS leaks I've seen.
Other than him, there's still a chance of an Optimus Prime, and Soundwave...
I'm not sure there's much more this subline can deliver.
Here's the thing, if they do in fact release an SS-86 Magnus, then everything released in Earthrise and Kingdom that could be used for SS-86 at the time is now fair game for a new SS-86 version. We thought SS-86 Starscream was a one-off to include the coronation accessories, but with Magnus too, it means, Cyclonus, Galvatron, Prime, Prowl etc... could ostensibly get an SS-86 release. And if they do do SS-86 commander Magnus, I'm willing to bet we'll get an SS-86 Prime based on the Magnus cab.
Heck it would not surprise me if they re-released Rodimus Prime in SS-86 packaging just for kicks.
So, there's still a fair bit this sub line can deliver.
I wouldn't assume new versions of any of those guys. Yes, we had Kingdom Magnus, but he was just a retool of the Siege figure and came up short in a few respects. Cyclonus and Galvatron were released alongside Scourge and the Sweeps, and unlike Magnus, were new molds consistent with SS86 design principles. We even got the damage-free Galvatron repaint in Legacy. Prime is obvious, Prowl is plausible, and I expect Springer too. Beyond that, I don't think any of the recent figures are slam dunks for updates.
You guys forgot SS86 Arcee and Ironhide.
I was ignored on this but I would still like a SS86 LEADER Megatron. The bot mode would be perfectly clean like his R.E.D figure, hiding all the tank threads and whatnots inside.
As for a SS86 Optimus, they should just "steal back" the undersised KO MP-10 and sell this as a Commander.
