The toys are not the same as the US Beast Wars reborn figures as they use the original scuplts (not the new head molds).

FatGuys's Blog has some nice in and out of packaging pictures of the TakaraTomy Shareholders exclusive toy trucks featuring Transformers Movie images.
Here's what FatGuy had to say:-
These 2 trucks are gifts for TT's shareholders. I like the idea that
Takara's characters on Tomy's product line (Transformers on Tomica) and
Tomy's (licensed) characters on Takara's product line (Pokemon on
Choro-Q). TT shows to its shareholders that Tomy and Takara are really
gaining synergy after the merging.
As a collectible itself, this
gift set is also valuable on its own. The packaging is good, and the
paint job is nice. Really worth to get 1 set if you have the chance.
