I bet the bay movie figures carry on the numbering system
Same here, in fact, this might be as close to proof as we get that these were not originally intended for the SS line. If that is the case, then the numbers may not be pointless after all, aside from 86 covering multiple figures, and go right back to the traditional numbering for the rest of the bayverse figures.
Now here is a crazy thought, what if number 86 is the end of the line, and we are just getting them before the actual end to line up with Haslab Unicron's arrival. Since 69 is the Devy set that means 70-85 would be the remaining bayverse figures in the line.
I had the same thought. But, that means in 2021, there would be 16 slots available for bayverse toys (#70-85), which is about normal for a given year *maybe* a little sparse but including the 86 line, makes it full.
However, what about after that? I mean I don't even collect this line, but I respect the idea behind it. Combining all the TF characters that have appeared in the 6 live action films, I came up with well over 150 possible entries. Will it just end at 86?

...and if in 2022, they just pick up the live action line with 87 and moving on, it just seems a little disjointed and lame, since you know the number system will always be off by however many 86 toys there are...
