Differences between Pre-Rub, Post-Rub, and Reissue Seekers

I require a little enlightenment. I was looking at the differences between my reissue Skywarp and an original Pre-Rub Skywarp to help identify them better on eBay.

Now, the most obvious would be to look at the copyright info on the legs, but that's very rarely going to be visible on eBay. The other difference I noticed, is that the reissue has a support cross on the canopy, and an 'E' engraved into the metal on the right-hand air intake.

My question is do the Post-Rub '84 Seekers have the support cross on the canopy or the engraved 'E' like the reissue Seekers?

there is a website that discusses about the pre-rub figures. On the figure that you believe is a pre-rub, what is on the wings?

This is image is a pre-rub/Diaclone and a G1.

I see. So the ridges on the canopy were added in 1985 with the rub signs, but it looks like the E on the intake was added for the reissue. Thank you! That helped a whole bunch!

The missile buttons are also different from the re-issues.
