All you have to do is swap the rear fenders for the Dread Pirate Crew Clones.
And is the Hasbro Car Vehicon rear fender compatible with the Takara Jet Vehicon mold?
They're swapped in the Seibertron.com galleries. All you have to do is pop them off and put it on the other one.

To use Energon Scorponok for visual reference, it's the orange armpit pieces seen in these pictures, which are purple on the BotCon toy:
Notice how, in these pics, the pieces each have a slope that runs down the body. On the BotCon figure, since the pieces were swapped and attached upside-down, the slopes run upward on the figure instead of downward.
Thus, the big shoulder pieces are unable to fold outward all the way, making him look like he's constantly holding his shoulders in a mid-shrug position, as seen here:
Instead of like this:
The way to fix this is to simply unscrew both pieces with a small Philips head screwdriver, and reattach them on their opposite sides of the body in their correct positions.
But note that front half pieces of the armpits are NOT swapped (at least on mine, they weren't), so those may not need to be swapped either. Take note of their position in this pic (the blue pieces with the gold outlines behind the translucent yellow side cannons):
This is the correct position for these two pieces, and Ryan's figure seems to have gotten it right for these two pieces as well (which are now orange with a green outline):

Unlike Hoist, though, this one is easily fixable.

They started shipping them yesterday, some people have already gotten their confirmation e-mails.
Sadly, I'm not "some people".

I didn't receive a confirmation e-mail, but that's okay. It just showed up at my door! Time to watch some UFC and scroll through this thread to see what fixes I need to do tonight.
