I can tell you right now that the first possibility you suggested doesn't work. The same leak that revealed Earthrise Megatron, revealed him as a Voyager. That would be no good as a match for Galaxy Upgrade Optimus.
The second thing you suggested is also highly unlikely, given the core retail line mainly focusing on the G1 cartoon.
I think he's most likely going to be either "Bog standard Earth tank in black and gray with red accents" or "Vehicle with an aftcastle made from his legs collapsing and tucking together, and a prow that ends up offset on his back in robot mode". The former is somewhat more probable, but I'm hopeful for the latter.

I've never actually seen it said anywhere other than these boards, and I don't buy for a second that Blurr and Arcee's alt modes aren't Cybertronian. Hot Rod, sure, Springer and Kup, maaaybe, but Blurr and Arcee are floating Cybertronian shape vehicles like the pilot episode and I've seen nothing so far that's convinced me otherwise.
Then clearly you've never seen Arcee in the cartoon anyway, because
ARCEE HAS VISIBLE FREAKING TIRES!
The idea comes from Floro Dery,
the man who designed them. Having trouble tracking down the specific source on it.
Oh, and by the way, the pilot episode Cybertronian vehicle modes don't actually float. Did you forget Bumblebee having to ride inside Wheeljack because of getting a tire shot off?
