does anyone know if the implementation of a mixed, transparent

VRRP?

Sorry, you lost me somewhere. Where is which firewall located? You have
Ciscos with IOS - and classic packet filters (routed). Where are the
transparent systems located?

Generally speaking transparent firewalls are treated just like cables
with respect to the routing protocols - except that failure detection
might be a problem without active probing.
