Sure, he and his Sincline-version of Voltron (which is so friggin' cool, by the way) may currently be stuck in the quintessence field, but with access to that much raw energy coupled with Lotor's shrewd mind and his Altean-enhanced tech, you'd better believe he'll reappear in future episodes in some fashion or another.
