I don't think that has been confirmed. Although PotP is ending at the end of 2018, there are still things we have not seen according to Warden & team.
Wolfman Jake wrote:My biggest gripe with the alleged Wave 4 line-up is that the repeats seem so random. Why are we getting 2x Rippersnapper when we already got enough in Wave 2? No other Terrorcons are getting a rerelease. Blot, Sinnertwin, and Cutthroat are all getting packed 2x in Wave 3, but Rippersnapper gets another 2x packout later on? Why do we need twice as many Rippersnappers on shelves as any other deluxe sized Terrorcon toy? This is just bizarre.

Autobot N wrote:1. The two boxsets that we got were Speed and Strength. Given that these were two of the four stats for Titans Return, it was reasonable to assume that two more sets were coming, and they would be themed after Intelligence and Fireblast.mordhelm wrote:Why do so many keep saying TR scrapped boxsets halfway through? There is absolutely no tangible evidence that there were ever going to be 4 boxsets. The thing Hasbro ever told us was that we would get the 4 ultimate power-up Titan Masters in a non-mass retail release, which was true.
2. Since Fastlane and Pounce came in two boxsets, people believed that the other two clones would come in two more boxsets.
3. The art on Grotusque's and Arcee's collector cards was in a different style than every other collector card in the line, with action poses instead of the floating head pose, and with other bots' limbs visible in the background (at least with Arcee).
4. Magnus's and Scorponok's Titan Master powers of Ultimate Intelligence and Ultimate Fireblast, respectively, line up well with Rodimus's and Thunderwing's Ultimate Speed Boost and Ultimate Strength boost.
Because of this, people speculate that the last two boxsets were cancelled because of the poor sales of the CW ones, and Cloudraker, Wingspan, Arcee, Magnus, Grotusque, and Scorponok were leftovers that were made into exclusives.
Skritz wrote:My guess is, if the Eukaris/Animatron theory is correct: a repaint of Alpha Trion is a no-brainer, given his beast mode. However, with Six Shot (the only Leader-class mold with a beast mode) already use I can speculate that these planet themes would have been flimsy at best.
Skritz wrote:So, speculation related to this toyline: what if Power of the Primes was cut short by the combined factors of Transformers 5 doing worse than expected and the shelf-warming mess that are the current Star Wars figures, meaning Hasbro had to cut in places and Transformers Generations is what got the axe in content?

Supply and demand, without people complaining "where's Slugslinger!" And remember what happened with the Titans Return Wave 2 repacks around Wave 3 or 4?

I don't because I live in Nowhereville, Canada. Entire waves of Voyagers were missing.

And yes, some people looking at the alendar see that it means POTP would end in late summer /early fall so maybe there could have been another wave. But what will happen is just that (like last year) the War for Cybertron toys could come early, filling that void at the end of the year.

One of those set hopefully is a Prime Master 4-pack with Prima, Nexus, Amalgamous and Onyx with their shells. At least one is a retool of Cloudburst to take up Waverider, Onyx is a new mold, the other two are likely retools as well.

Am I the only one that checks every single Prime Master they come across to see if it's a double?
