The TAV figures all have those, except there is a bigger dummy sticker on that extra plastic shell, hiding the toy's sticker.
When unpacking, you do like you usually do with all of your other figures. You open it, and cut off any extra plastic covers, and you trash them along the rest of the packaging.
Ok, so for those curious here, could you post a photo of bumblebee and steeljaw to show those wondering how it looks when the packaging is removed? All the in hand images we get show those peeling stickers so it wold be to give an idea of how things actually look like.
I found an image of your toys in package:

I asked that you just show us how Bee and Steeljaw look like right now, on your shelf. What they actually look like. Everyone sees "in hand" images of these with peeling off stickers, so I wanted to calm everyone down by showing them that once the package is removed (so in the trash never to be seen again), it doesnt look like they have stickers peeling off. Thats all I wanted. I already have your in package pictures anyway, hence why I showed those. I just didnt have any images of your toys once the packaging is removed. But I do thank you for your hard work. There are actually no in hand images of these toys without the fake stickers online.

From what I can tell, the Shields between Hasbro and TakaraTomy are the same size, as the figures have molded indents to accommodate them, akin to G1's square rubsign indents. The dummy stickers are slightly larger, combined with them not being supposed to be on the figure resulted in them initially looking "off" and peeling.

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.

Yeah...yeah. You're absolutely correct, and it sucks. Though, for what it's worth, I usually like the oddball homage decos. I'd be pretty crazy for the Blitzwing/Astrotrain set if it weren't going to be prohibitively expensive.

Well if you like shiny clear toys, why not get the Dark Energon exclusives for the Prime line.
Also, the EHobby exclusives are always prohibitively expensive. The the astrotrain/blitzwing set is going for the same price as their latest exclusive, CW Scourge.
