A recent podcast confirmed there was such a rule. They could not redeco Armada Starscream as super mode starscream because Takara was doing it. So they wouldnt be able to do this if Takara already did it. If they were able to just give us stateside releases of Takra only products, they would have given us a lot of other stuff over the years instead of their own thing.
There is also the fact that it is assumed the people who get the subscription service are fan enough to be aware of what is coming out on the takara side. Those same fans already probably bought a Runabout, so I can only imagine the ugly backlash if the club gave them the exact same toy as the surprise 7th figure.
