They only had the toys for reference at that point. Later on thay got access to movie stuff. At least that's what I seem to remember from the TPB.

Yes, that's correct.

From the horse's mouth:

On a similar note, for the striking entrance of Galvatron, Cyclonus and Scourge in Target: 2006 the character models were noticeably based on the toys. Next issue they changed to what looked like the animation models. What was the reason for this?

While we were doing this story to coincide with the release of the movie, [we were] getting all the character designs from the filmmakers. The designs didn’t turn up in time for the artwork deadline. The toys had just appeared in the shops so I used the toys as reference. By the time the next episode had to be drawn the designs turned up and away we went.

I know, I know. I was just using that scene as an example of why it's not always a good thing to try and imitate how the toys look. With Beast Wars And Beast Machines it was okay, since the toys there weren't just big bricks.
