If they're going the same route as Starscream, i'd say we could expect them to be a bit less saturated than the stock photos. Subtle desaturization, but noticeable if you look hard enough.
I currently have this “conversion sequence” happening in my middle display … the great thing is that I can always switch out the Full Color Skywarp and Cyclonus with any version and still use the translucent ones in between
I ordered from Show Z. So that explains why. He doesn’t even have the stand written as included accessories: [Pre-Order] Takara Tomy Masterpiece MP-52+ Thundercracker
Like I wrote earlier, the first photo of his accessories didn't include the stand, so everyone assumed that he wouldn't come with one. TT later corrected that, but not everyone got word of that. They just didn't update the listing at ShowZ. Got both Thundercracker and Skywarp pre-ordered there too myself.

Just reading through the thread getting hyped for Skywarp and this pic just screams at me to paint up Starscream and Thundercracker's robot canopies in anticipation of King Skywarp's release. Love how they pop in the cartoon and they'll look even better on the shelf on this mould. Also of note is Soundwave only orange instead of yellow because they cheaped out on colours to match or was he always orange in his highlights? A soooo needs me a v2 cartoon Soundwave!
I think it's safe to assume that Takara painted underneath the faux cockpit for Skywarp to make it pop Also how tf are collectors outside of japan going to get access to the Jetron campaign coronation gear? you think that they'll sell on Ebay for astronomical prices? or would you hope our faithful online retailers get to distribute them? Why has nobody made a 3d Printed crown for MP-52 yet?
If Skywarp's canopy doesn't match the other two I'll eat my hat. All three prototypes were different probably due to experimenting, and in the end TC matches SS, so I'm sure SW will match those two.
I’ve talked to several of our beloved online dealers, and all of them have no idea if/how the coronation set will be available to non-Japan audiences. It’s not like the toy bumblebee head or shoulder cannons for prowl.
