We know the real version will look like this:

No black outline, probably no yellow paint, and it looks like his arms will be black if the art is accurate.

THANK YOU! I've been watching this POTP thread for a while now, and it seems like this is one of those details that most people seem to have missed. I'm not sure where this notion that we're not getting a general retail Onyx Prime came from, but it's really bizarre.
Actually, scratch that. Seems to me like it's been going hand-in-hand with the rumor that POTP is ending with Wave 4 (aka just Novastar). As someone in the thread mentioned earlier, we're basing a LOT of POTP speculation purely off of one leak that Hasbro clearly didn't intend on having to ever deal with. It seems to me that revealing all of the leaked toys is an attempt at damage control. I'd say it's possible that we're seeing toys that weren't supposed to be revealed until much later, Novastar and the Wave 3 Prime Masters being possible examples. I also don't seem to recall Toy Fair EVER being where Hasbro revealed everything they had in store for a toyline. Usually they save later reveals for other conventions.
There's also the fact that we still have three Prime Masters who need toys, those being Nexus Prime, Amalgamous Prime, and Prima. All three of them have had cards showcasing their powers attached to other toys. Hell, I got a Nexus Skrapnel card packaged with my Legends Skrapnel toy. I don't see why Hasbro would have made that card if there was no intention on making the Prime Master to correspond with it. It simply does not add up, unless plans for the line changed at the VERY last minute. While it's possible this could have happened, that is such an eleventh hour change to make, and one that would likely be very costly to do.
I'm sorry if this rant comes across as hostile as it was not my intention to be hostile, but I'm starting to get rather annoyed at some of the massive assumptions being made in this thread.
