Maybe...but c'mon, how much of a demand is there going to be for a Hound evolving into Houndimus Prime?
I think you are trying to equate the last 2 polls when there were actually very different scenarios.
For the titan poll, there were only 3 choices, and we knew the output would be a titan. In order to pull off design and production within a year of a titan, they would have to have some preliminary designs for all 3.
For the next prime poll, there were 9 choices, and the outcome was just going to be the next prime. At that time there were no size classes even attached to it. Even if Hasbro knew at the time what the gimmick and class would be, 1 year would be plenty of time to fully design and produce one.
So in this case, I'm fairly certain that there are some preliminary designs for Omega Supreme and Scorponok. At the same time, I'm pretty sure there were not any designs for the 8 "losers" of the next prime poll, simply because they wouldn't need to plan that far ahead as they would for a titan.
Edit: and a reply from will while I was typing this shows me I was wrong on my guess on the prime poll
