I'm about to read through every through every page of this thread to catch myself up, because I'm crazy like that, so let's look at how much our knowledge of this toyline changed from the initial rumors!

4 chan so take all of these with a grain of salt and it will be fun to see what pans out. The reason we are newsing this now is because some rumblings from toyfair seem to back part of it up, especially the mention of smaller figures still being a part of the next line.
These rumours mostly concern the last part of the trilogy, Power of the Primes which is due out in stores January 2018, but there is also mention of Titans Return since there will possibly be transition figures like Buzzsaw in Combiner Wars.

Here is the text found above if you have trouble reading it:
Prime Wars next Gimmick is toys to life. Download an App and scan the card that comes with the figure onto your iphone. Play "stages"(it's unkown what type of game it's going to be) using said character.
Well right off the bat, this is not the case. As we know now, the gimmick is combining again for the deluxe and voyager figures, Prime Master integration especially in the legends class, and evolution for leaders.
Titanmasters will be replaced by equally smaller guys. They won't be headmasters but closer to Micromasters that become target masters or weapon platforms.
Legends will still be able to cart the tiny men around
Mostly true and true.
Prime Wars will still be mostly 88-89 crew. Things like Turbomasters will show up from time to time.
So far, nope. The Prime Masters with Decoy Armor are, of course, all modeled after the Pretenders but the rest of the line seems to hearken from the earlier days of G1, with a few exceptions.
All 5 Dinobots will be made
Yep
as well as the remaining 3 insecticons will appear. Ransack will show up towards the end of TR as will Barrage. Venom will either be Wave 6 of TR or Wave 1 of PW. He's like Buzzsaw in CW where he may not be able to fit into wave 1.
Nope
Scorponok will be Next Titan after Trypticon
Definitely nope.
TR Arcee is just a repaint of TR Loudmouth
Thankfully she was much more than that!
So maybe 30% of the rumor was correct, all told.
Here's another post:

Autovolt on Twitter, we've been alerted to a post on 4chan that supposedly reveals some previously unknown information about the upcoming Power of the Primes line! Take it with a grain of salt, however - this is in no way a confirmation. The post itself is below, as well as a transcript in case it's too small to read. Check it out, and let us know your thoughts in the Energon Pub!

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.)
TR Apeface and Snapdragon didn't happen and POTP Grimlock is a voyager. Puts the rest of the rumor in very shaky ground. I won't say it's 100% debunked since we only know the retail 2018 releases but it's highly unlikely that Amazon will get that many exclusives.
