There's a Beast Wars subline to Power of the Primes next year. I work at Amazon and this will be a shared online exclusive. Us and BBTS.
No original molds, but we will get the Takara Blackarachnia mold in the US from it. Eight Deluxe and two Voyagers, Primal and Megatron. Primal is a retool of the PotP Apeface. Megatron is a retool of PotP Snapdragon. They won't have Titan Masters, so don't worry.
(The PotP Grimlock is Leader sized, so it was never a consideration to be retooled as Megatron.)

The real question is, will said PotP Apeface and Snapdragon have Titan Masters? I'm thinking... yes? Given the nature of the stating of being a retool, then clarifying about the lack of Titan Masters.

Maybe they just are already designed to have spaces where heads can remain attached in alt-modes or retool them to have spaces like how some folks have cut into Blurr's shield so he can have his head attached in vehicle mode and forget that toy he's a headmaster.
I'm pretty much done with Titans... and with G1 updates (it's beyond boring now) unless Hasbro/Takara finally gives me the characters I want at the scale I want but that's unlikely. No interest in Beast Wars either. Never liked the show or it's toyline.

Any chance of SDCC reveals or is there still too much Titans Returns in the pipeline?

I really hope Primal is in Optimal Optimus colors since we should be getting a normal Primal in PotP already. For that matter I hope Megatron is in his dragon colors, though he's going to need wings.

I'd be so very down for a Leader class Optimal Optimus. maybe have a face swap gimmick ala t30 blitzwing, so the figure can also double up as Optimal Megatron from the Beast Machines finale.
pretty sure there is only 1 more wave of TR along with the Intelligence and Fireblast boxsets.
8 deluxe and 2 voyagers.
Primal and Megatron would most likely be the 2 voyagers
8 deluxe, 4 maximals 4 predacons?
Cheetor, Tigatron, Airazor, Silverbolt
Terrorsaur, Tarantulas, Blackarachnia, Scorponok
Cheetor and Tigatron could share a single new mold with some creative retooling done to the beast mode proportions
Blackarachnia would just be a us release of the Takara Legends toy
Scorponok as a retool of the RID warrior?
part of me cant help but pine for a potential us release of Beast Wars Metals Jaguar X-9

That is the saddest and honestly most pathetic thing I've heard. Cutting up a toy just because they can't handle blurr being a headmaster. That's really depressing.

I think that is enough to call "fake".

It's a remold of another ape figure it makes sense and whoever said the toy would be brand new?
Plus what if it's the other way around where Apeface is the remold like we all know how much Hasbro likes to reuse figures to get their moneys worth off the molds.
Likely real then.

I think thats an awesome idea! Maybe it will inspire belzeboss or some other 3rd party to make a shield/head upgrade set to make blurr right. Any ideas for Hot Rod or Kup?
