It was reported.

Here is a breakdown of the MSRPs in USD for the POTP line directly from Hasbro

TRANSFORMERS: GENERATIONS POWER OF THE PRIMES MICRONUS PRIME MASTER
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $5.99/Available Fall 2017)

Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Deluxe Class Terrorcon Cutthroat
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99 SRP /Available: Spring 2018)

So same MSRP jump as TLK toys in the US

Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Voyager Class Terrorcon Hun-Gurrr
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $29.99 SRP Available: Spring 2018)

So same MSRP jump as TLK toys in the US

Transformers: Generations Power of the Primes Leader Class Evolution Rodimus Unicronus
(Ages 8 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $49.99 SRP /Available: Spring 2018)

So same MSRP jump as TLK toys in the US

In the end, yes, a price jump was reported and is still in effect at Hasbro. Target has chosen not to sell them at MSRP. Walmarts in the US didnt retail their TLK toys at MSRP either. However, in Canada for the TLK line, Walmart and Toysrus have chosen to sell at MSRP due to how less competitive our toy market is.

So looking at the evidence available for any user to see, showing that the price jump for TLK toys to be in effect with POTP, it makes perfect sense for someone to assume POTP will be prices the same as TLK products.

I of course hope its not the case, but the evidence from hasbro suggests otherwise.
