The first two listings seem to match up with Voyager Wave 1, Optimus Prime and Predaking.
TRA PRM BST OP - Optimus Prime, pretty straight forward.
TRA PRM BST DR - Predaing, the DR likely meaning dragon.
Things get more interesting when we examine the next three listings.
TRA PRM BST SHKW - Shockwave would make sense. He's a popular character, we know he will appear in Season 3 "Beast Hunters", and Hasbro has yet to release him in toy form. Could be a situation similar to the recently revealed "Beast Hunters" Deluxe Smokescreen.
TRA PRM BST UM - Ultra Magnus also seems likely. He's already received two figures in the previous "Robots in Disguise" line, he's currently appearing in the Transformers Prime: Rage of the Dinobots miniseries which leads into Season 3, we already know he's going to get a Weaponizer class figure in the "Beast Hunters" line. The question being would this figure be a new mold, or a spiky retool of his existing Voyager Class figure.
TRA PRM KNT TL - ?, speculate away on this one.
Keep in mind Toy Fair is less than a month away, so we won't have to wait too long to see if these listing are accurate.
Here are the listings as reported by Seibertron.com Ominous Prime-Evil
TRA PRM BST OP
TRA PRM BST DR
TRA PRM BST SHKW
TRA PRM KNT TL
TRA PRM BST UM

When exactly is Toy Fair?
The TF facebook page hinted at some surprising reveals related to TFP Beast Hunters. I guess we'll find out soon enough!

If Weaponizers are the way forward, then i'm becoming a Cyberverse collector.

I'm not. I'd much rather collect them ahead of that Weaponizer crap.
Cyberverse do what Transformers are suppose to do. Transform. And they look good in both modes and don't have any sacrifices made because of some stupid gimmick.

That's not to say there aren't sacrifices made at all.

If not... damn you for getting my hopes up.
Like, damn you forever.
In a fire.
Pain.
...
Anyway, I agree with the assessment on that third listing: Kre-O

Does all this add up to them being in the show? I hope so.

Hm, I'd say it's less of a sacrifice and more of a limitation due to size. Though I wouldn't mind seeing more elbows, haha.

On that note, has it been confirmed whether or not the Beast Hunter leader figures will even retain the Weaponizer gimmick? With the inclusion of firing projectiles on both the deluxe and voyager figures, maybe we've seen the back of the RiD gimmicks.
I'm not going to get even remotely excited about KNT TL. Any listing that obscure always turns out to be a major letdown.

Weaponizers are a size class and a gimmick. Not just a gimmick like Powerizers. Leaders and Weaponizers are two different things.
We don't have any confirmed leaders. We have three Weaponizers.

Hmm... SW does look like a good idea to me, and he looks like a good replacement for FOC SW. And UM's toy should have to wait. But who's the third guy?

You know what it adds up to? It adds up to Hasbro saying "Ultra Magnus is no longer a white cab that bears a resemblance to Optimus Prime. No, Ultra Magnus is now all blue and you fanboys are going to shut up and take it!"

I hope he retains his G1-esque look from the CGI scenes we've seen so far, and not too "beast-ified." At the very least, I hope he has removable armor like Smokescreen so you can choose to display him without his BH-armor.

Yup. But he does look pretty good, at least in principal. Obviously the toy releases have been lacking in (or devoid of) paint, but I'd imagine the actual model will be gloriously colored!

As long as Uncle Magnus isn't a straight white O.P, I, a fanboy, am happy to shut up and take it!

What RAcast said.^
As for possible Shockwave? OH GOD YES!!!

If all is true, 4 UM figures before making a TV debut, is unheard off. Somehow, I got the feeling his BH Voyager figure is going to look like the Orion Pax clips/ Incentive Animated Series Character Variant Cover:

I went to a local Walmart and there was nothing I mean nothing on the pegs. I expected to see nothin' and 50 BB's but there was not one damn TF.
ieh i half agree with your statement if we are getting shockwave he probaly be getting spiky upgrade thats what all characters looking like now forget season 2 look of shockwave hello spikewave with flashy colors egh hate to see megatron literly. i perfer nomral looking shockwave with purple but we getting him now will most likely be be spike looking.
holding off judgement until actuly pictures of figure show up that will be most intersting day pictures of shockwave how he looks

What gets me is the "TL" listing.

One aside weaponizer and priced at $32.xx Another next to it says transformers leaders and priced at $34.xx. Maybe a new class or price increase??
I was under the impression the big dragon was going to be in the newly revived leader class.

Uncle Magnus SHOULD be a straight white O.P. repaint with a different trailer he combines with. REAL UM fanboys would know this! VENT! OUTRAGE! RANT!

My Target has a full shelf of them.

Kiddie continuities? The pilot episode of Prime killed the proposed main good guy in cold blood. A Decepticon was torn apart and stitched back together for a dead human, only to turn around and slaughter his own men. Kiddie continuity my ass.
