Actually, I just still-framed the trailer, and there are three distinct
bubbles on the top of the sub (which sort of makes sense, from a survival
standpoint), but other than that it's hard to tell any details - it's only in
the trailer for a couple seconds, and for most of that, we're looking straight
at the headlights :) It does appear to be more mantaray shaped than the TLG
model, which looks kinda like an A-wing to me ;-)
As to purple vs blue - I'm pretty certain it's purple, as there's no other
color shifting in the picture; the white is white, the grey is grey, the
minifigs are minifig colored, etc
