Instead they made the remaining clones a Walgreens exclusive and put Arcee with die cast TM Ultra Magnus and Grotusque with die cast TM Scorponok out as convention/TRU exclusives. Theoretically that would mean there are two TR Leaders and two Voyagers sitting in a Hasbro warehouse somewhere that may never seen the light of day depending on how far into the process they got.

I remember this discussion last year when the boxsets were coming out, and the general consensus was that we (the fandom) ASSUMED that it would be 4 large boxsets because of something about getting all 4 Clones (and finishing off the "ultimate" Titan Masters). I don't believe Hasbro ever said they were doing 4 full size boxsets.
But by that logic, if TR's big boxsets did, in fact sell well, I would say it is still potentially on the table.
We didn't actually get confirmation of the Boxsets until Toy Fair 2017. And it is highly likely that Hasbro has instituted multiple measures to prevent leaks since the Summer. Maybe we will be in for a treat come Toy Fair 2018. If we aren't, oh well. But I think the odds are still good for boxsets.
Here is the link to the 2 articles we got in February 2017 to confirm that boxsets were even coming:
