Looks like the Cybertron line is over for good. TFW2005 member Larkin Vain reported that another packaging variant of Cybertron Primus, this time exclusive to Wal*Mart stores, is out, with the first sighting hailing from Hawaii of all places.
This version of Primus comes with four bonus Mini-Cons that will also be available as part of the upcoming Mini-Con three-packs from the Classics line. Oddly enough, whereas Knockdown (who will also be available as part of the wave 1 Dinobots team) and Strongarm (who will also be available as part of the wave 1 Night Rescue Team) retain their names, Thunderwing (who will also be available as part of the wave 2 Clear Skies Team) and Dirt Rocket (who will also be available as part of the wave 2 Dirt Digger Team) have been renamed into Nightscream and Offshoot, respectively.

Another line that's probably going to end soon, or at least going to be put on hiatus for the foreseeable future, is the Alternators line. The last two toys that are going to be released early next year are Rumble (Honda Civic Si) and Ravage (Jaguar XK). The official box artwork for Rumble can now be found here at Hasbro's public website.
