Poking around in the Wal-Mart computer has been a tried and true method of finding upcoming Transformers Products, with that being said here we go! On the Transformers Prime Beast Hunters front we have a possible Voyager Megatron, Deluxe Prowl, and Cyberverse Autobot Driller. For Transformers Generations we have Voyager Class Sandstorm, who is pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point, but good to have another piece of evidence none the less. Lastly, two more Transformers Bots Shots team packs, the Protectobots and Combaticons. Nice compliments to the Stunticons and Aerialbots. The links can be found below, no images obviously. Speculate away in the Energon Pub!

Remember that proto-Grimlock with a Megatron head we saw a while ago? I'm willing to bet this is what it's going to be.

Prowl may be interesting ... In a good way.

And that's our roster of BH toys, I believe?

I'll take that bet. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a retool of the existing
Prime voyager Megatron.
Well, with this, that makes five voyagers for the series. We'll probably see at least one more after that.

Please let there be a Hardshell!

Hardshell would be an absolute welcome addition, pretty much the only Voyager character left that hasn't gotten a toy yet.
Although I don't think it will happen, it would be awesome if the "beast armor" for that Megatron (c'mon, you all know it will be a repaint with snap-on armor, most likely) emulates his Prime arm. I'm underwhelmed by the Takara version with the simple repainted arm, it needs to be a whole different limb to be buyable. Oh, and a Dark Star Saber would be nice

Yay Prowl! Considering I'll probably never own the Classics figure, it's awesome to be finally getting some form or Prowl! Odds are it will be a Smokescreen repaint, but still!

If Prowl's not a new mold (which I'd hope he'd be), expect a Smokescrean redeco/possible remold.

I'm 99% sure that Prowl will just be a repaint of BH Smokescreen...not that there's anything wrong with that!
Hopefully Megatron is different enough to justify getting. I'll be very disappointed (but not surprised) if he turns out to be a crazy repaint scheme with some beast "armor." Let's keep out fingers crossed!
The last voyager could well be Hardshell. We've seen the upcoming Cyberverse version of him. Since Prowl's getting a Cyberverse and Deluxe, maybe Hardshell will too. If it's not him, then I bet it's another new Predacon Voyager.
I'm very excited to see what's coming at the end of the Beast Hunters line!

I would agree with the suggestion of Grimegatron.
I can't see another case in which that mold would suit the character in another line, at the moment.

Voyager Megatron = 1) Crappy repaint of Prime Voyager Megs. or 2) Hopefully the Beast "WARS" Megs
Deluxe Prowl = 99.999% chance, repaint of Smokescreeen. In fact change that 100% chance. Considering the original Smokescreen and Prowl were just palette swaps.
Cyberverse Autobot Driller = Repaint of Cybervserse Energon Driller. With Red drill over the purple drill.
Voyager Class Sandstorm = Reapint of New Voyager Springer with new Head. Original Sandstorm was Triple Changer Heli and Dunebuggy. Once we see instruction sheet of Springer, we'll know considering how they've had that tenancy to put the new head pics in the instructions.

Actually, chances are Sandstorm will have hover fans instead of the traditional rotors, if we are to believe Metroplex' art.

That just leaves Broadside out of the CHUG line.

Let's see now, we need a voyager Octane to hang out with his buddy Sandstorm, voyager Broadside, and voyager Astrotrain. I'd like titan figs of them but they'd be too big.
Uhh...am I missing anyone?

I wouldn't hold my breath for a new mold for Prowl. It is pretty obvious that is going to be a redeco of Smokescreen.

I bet you anything Megatron is just going to be a remold of the first Voyager. :p
Prowl is interesting even if he's likely to be just a Smokescreen repaint. I'll still buy him.
Sandstorm we basically knew about, hopefully he ends up looking different enough from Springer.

Nothing here is really that surprising, though I'm interested to see what that Beast Megatron will be, even though I will most likely never get it.

Well, as it is now the RID Megatron is smaller than Beast Hunters Optimus. It just doesn't feel right. I really hope he's a new bigger and bulkier mold. I wouldn't even care if he had permanent beast armor. Though it could be the BW Megatron.

I unintentionally bought all the characters from RiD, as opposed to just getting the show characters like I originally intended. With that in mind I'll likely get Prowl, although I'd like Smokescreen to appear fairly unique in my collection.
I'd like a Generations Sandstorm, but if it's to be a Springer remold then I'd hope it was a fairly significant one, otherwise I may wait and see if anything sizeable comes from that buggy FansProject included with Assaulter.
As for Megatron....Hmmm.

Beast Hunters being the last series of PRIME, I'd assume that the last fight will likely be between Optimus and Megatron. Maybe Megatron actually beasts-up for it, but in order to save the production costs of a new body for one or two episodes, they make like Beast Machines and use an existing body. Maybe Shockwave transplants Megatron into the body of a defeated and broken Predaking. Just a theory I'm throwing out there. But as others pointed out, that prototype of FoC Grimlock with Megatron's head is making a little more sense. Rage of The Dinobots is a prelude to Beast Hunters, right?

I thought that there is a Beast Wars-ish Megatron with Grimlock's body coming out?
