I definitely agree with you. I do not think the objectformers are 'left over', they are 'in' the movie so to speak, as has been rumored.
Since they are kids toys it makes sense to link them with pictures from the last kids toys/cartoon produced.

Perhaps they did not have finalized movie designs to put on as stickers when they needed to get these into production?
