    I think the canopies should be like MP Inferno and MP-44. Smoked/textured. The alt modes can have the clear canopies.

    That includes shipping in US, but tax may be added depending on you’re state of residence.

    Should've just scrapped the transparent canopy and painted it in jet mode. The transparent one vs. the opaque one just draws attention to the fact it's a fake canopy on the chest.

    they should both be transparent IMO. i think that magazine probably just had an early sample or the color behind the cockpit in bot mode was darker so it appears more orange than the one for t-cracker. it would be a HUGE problem if they did 2 one way and the 3rd another. infuriating actually.

    The truth is that all three seekers have slightly different colours for their bot mode canopies in the TT pictures and we don't know what they will really look like until the final release of all three. Starscream's canopy does not match Thundercracker's either. We have been discussing this since Thundercracker and Skywarp first went up for preorder. I agree that all three should absolutely match in the end, but as of now they don't. Unfortunately we won't know for sure until the end of the year when Skywarp releases.

    And for what it's worth, the previous seekers don't match either. Their Decepticon logos aren't the same colour and Starscream has them inverted in bot mode and the others do not. Also their canopies are slightly different shades of orange plastic. So unfortunately there is precedent that TT doesn't seem to care if they match or not. :(

    The preorder email came much later for me. You ought to be ok. I got worried too but sat sat tight and several hours later I got the confirmation email.

    They don’t mention anything about shipping costs and taxes, which makes me think I’m safe with TCP.

    i think starscream's emblem being upside down is like a thing. he is supposed to be different in that way....yes i know we see that on teh toher two in teh cartoon sometimes but in my mind starscream's should be upside down. sligtly different shades of orange isn't as noticable as clear orange vs. opaque orange IMO either although the hasbro thundercracker had like greenish tint if i remember right? that as off putting for sure. anyway i hope they match this time around.

    I’m not worried about canopy colors because I, like most collectors here, pose my figures with their backs to the viewer as the great Primus intended.

    They should all be upside down.

    This is the way.

    I’m not so sure, my go-to is always displaying the underside of the vehicle mode facing forward. It’s really the only correct way to display.;)
