As to who and why, I'm guessing the reasoning was...
Scourge - he's unambiguously evil (being, essentially, a demon), and needs to aesthetically match Cyclonus and Galvatron released previously, so standard symbol. (Though a rubsign would have matched him to the Cyclonus Repaint).
Kup - His paint job is way to cheery to have an ambiguous faction, and he's too old to truck, with any of that gimmicky, sneaky stuff, so standard symbol.
Wreck-Gar - Not technically an Autobot anyway, so rubsign.
Bumblebee - Same figure has already been released with standard symbols a couple of times, and he's a spy, so rubsign.
Perceptor - I got nothing, but I like how you have to flip down his chest panel to rub the symbol.
Optimus Prime - The rubsign is just silly, though it will make sense for the Nemesis Prime repaint.

Honestly Hasbro being a US-based company you think they would have made much greater effort to get these into stores for Christmas. As it is, it is hard to find any store that carriers even Generations Wave 2 figures.

Yea that rub sign on Wreck-gar is tottaly coming off. I dont think i'm gonna put any faction symbol on him, hes a junkion. Prefer if he stayed sorta on his own.

what if the rub-sign is a Junkion faction symbol? (unlikely, I know, but...)

It'd be nice. I'd even settle for a 3 pack with another Seeker. Starscream seems the obvious choice, but maybe Ramjet would be better?
