[[File:G1catalog84-DecepticonPlanes-Redeco.jpg|upright=2|thumb|It may be a surprise to some that these three toys are actually the same toy but in three different color schemes!]]
A '''redeco''', or recolor, is a toy which uses the same [[mold]]s as a previously-released toy, but has been reproduced with different plastic colors and/or different paint applications. A redeco can either be officially marketed as the same [[character]] in different colors or as a different character. A redeco uses exactly the same tools or molds as the original toy. If any changes have been made, even something as simple as giving the toy a different head or additional pegs for locking body parts into place, it is more properly categorized as a [[retool]].

For example: the first three [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]] [[Seeker (body-type)|Seekers]], [[Starscream (G1)/toys|Starscream]], [[Thundercracker (G1)/toys|Thundercracker]], and [[Skywarp (G1)/toys|Skywarp]], are redecos while the second year Seekers [[Dirge (G1)/toys|Dirge]], [[Ramjet (G1)/toys|Ramjet]], and [[Thrust (G1)/toys|Thrust]] are retools of the same base mold.

The term "[[repaint]]" is also in wide use among fans as a synonym for "redeco". "Redeco", however, is the term used by the people on [[Hasbro]]'s ''Transformers'' team. Additionally, the term "repaint" is technically wrong* in almost all instances of a same-mold-new-colors toy, as typically more than the paint applications are changed when a toy is redecoed.

<small>*Don't worry, you won't be burned at the stake for calling redecos "repaints". Still, we use the proper term for this wiki.</small>

==Why redecos?==
[[File:Encoreratchetemergencygreen.jpg|left|upright=1.35|thumb|Some people just don't know when to stop.]]
The single most expensive step in making a Transformers toy is making the steel-cut [[mold]]s required to hold then cool molten plastic. Add to this the salaries of the designers and engineers, and there is a very considerable expense involved in making a single new-mold toy. Many of these development expenses are not involved in making a redeco, giving the company a chance to make a larger profit on a single mold and put more product on the shelves with a smaller investment.

Another reason is that the toy market moves far, far faster today than it did when the line first started. Retailers do not like product to linger, and shipping older toys in new assortments can give the impression that some items simply do not sell. (Of course, [[Shelfwarmer|some don't anyway]], but that's beside the point.) With this much shorter sales window in mind, companies use redecoes to keep molds in use longer (to help make back the money spent in development plus a worthwhile profit), and oftentimes keep popular characters still in circulation while maintaining a "fresh" look on the shelves, making the retailers happy. [[Retool]]s have a much longer development lead time than redecoes, even for small parts. It may not cost much more to give a reused mold a new robot mode head, but timing concerns may be the deciding factor in choosing to redeco the old one.<ref>[http://www.cybertron.ca/boards/showthread.php?t=11518 Hasbro Q&A at cybertron.ca]</ref>

Members of the [[Hasbro]] Transformers team have repeatedly pointed out that they never expected anyone to ''buy'' all the redecoes made; [[Aaron Archer]] was apparently baffled by the premise.

==Redecos as exclusives==
[[Image:OTFCC04toy-Megazarak.jpg|right|upright=1.2|thumb|[[OTFCC 2004]] [[Megazarak (Universe)#Toys|Megazarak]] is a redeco of a toy available at mass retail.]]
Most [[exclusive]] toys, be they for conventions<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/browse_thread/thread/50ee7c561e688de7/50b5edb5139f83a1?lnk=st&&rnum=7&hl=en#50b5edb5139f83a1 Tengu explains why convention toys aren't new molds, alt.toys.transformers post archived on Google]</ref> or stores, are redecoes and [[retool]]s of previously-released toys. With just one exception, all exclusives that used previously-unreleased molds are toys that had been developed for normal retail but were temporarily in "limbo" when their intended toylines were ended. The one exception, [[Swerve (Chevy)|Aveo Swerve]], was a new mold produced for a gigantic multinational corporation.

The simple reason for this is, again, cost; making the steel molds is prohibitively expensive, as well as the engineering and so forth. Because most exclusives are produced in numbers far less than a normal retail toy, there are fewer units to amortize what production costs ''do'' remain, which means the toys must either sell for more to cover costs and make a worthwhile profit, or the profit margin per item must be reduced, or even both at once.

While it is certainly not outside the realm of possibility that a major retail chain might get a new-mold toy as an exclusive (as they can move thousands and thousands of units nationwide over several months), the odds of a convention getting one are almost nonexistent due to these cost considerations, as the production runs of these toys rarely reach far beyond 1000. At most, therefore, one can expect a few retools of select parts from a toy, often a new-mold robot mode head.

=="Virtual" redecoes==
[[File:Mayhem suppression squad.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.35|Guess how many of these toys existed when this comic was published. Now half that.]]
While character model re-use has been a cost-cutting staple of the brand since its inception, a peculiar, fantastically nerdy trend began to materialize in [[Transformers Timelines (franchise)|collector-oriented fiction]] around the turn of the 2010s: slavishly toy accurate art of existing molds, but with decoes that did not exist on real toys. These "virtual" redecoes can have many motives, from "backdoor pilots" for future exclusives, to [[customizing|customizer]] bait, to a simple game of I Spy for [[TFWiki.Net|huge nerds]].

Some prominent sources of virtual redecoes include:
*[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|''Shattered Glass'']]
*''[[Beast Wars: Uprising|Beast Wars: Uprising]]''
*''[[GoBots]]'', somehow
*''[[Transformers Legends (comic)|Legends]]''
*The [[Precursor World continuity|Precursor World]]
{{-}}

==Popular redeco themes==
[[File:Bruticus redecos.jpg|thumb|right|upright=1.5|Not [[knockoff]]s.....]]
Redecos can be marketed either as the same [[character]] in different colors, or as a different character. For both versions, some recurring themes have been established between Hasbro and Takara.

*[[Black repaint|Black redecoes]] - commonly used for "stealth" forms and evil clones.
*Clear redecoes - sometimes inspired by specific character abilities or plots (such as Generation 1 [[Mirage (G1)|Mirage's]] invisibility or [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] as a ghost).
*"Fire"-themed redecoes - often representing a power-enhanced version of a character (such as the "Fire Guts" version of [[Ginrai (robot)|God Ginrai]] or the "Super" redeco of [[Side Burn (RID)#Super|Side Burn]]).
*Metallic redecoes - particularly gold or silver [[vacuum metallizing|chromed]]. These are often used for [[Lucky Draw figure]]s.
*[[Homage]] redecoes - designed to resemble a previous (often [[The Transformers (franchise)|Generation 1]]) character. This is particularly prevalent with [[Constructicon (G1)|construction vehicles]] and [[Dinobot (G1)|dinosaurs]].
{{-}}

==Popular redeco characters==
[[File:Class06-toy Skywarp.jpg|right|upright=1.45|thumb|[[Skywarp (disambiguation)|Skywarp]] is usually redecoed from [[Starscream (disambiguation)|Starscream]].]]
Some toys of a certain character are frequently designed to be redecoed as one or more other characters (with or without various levels of retooling). Some of those different-character redeco themes are directly rooted in [[The Transformers (toyline)|Generation 1]], while others are indirectly inspired by Generation 1, and still others are more recent additions to the Transformers lore. Some well-known examples include:
*[[Optimus Prime (disambiguation)|Optimus Prime]] into [[Ultra Magnus (disambiguation)|Ultra Magnus]], [[Scourge (RID)|Scourge]], [[Nemesis Prime (disambiguation)|Nemesis Prime]] and [[Motormaster (disambiguation)|Motormaster]].
*[[Megatron (disambiguation)|Megatron]] into [[Galvatron (disambiguation)|Galvatron]].
*[[Soundwave (disambiguation)|Soundwave]] into [[Blaster (disambiguation)|Blaster]].
*[[Bumblebee (disambiguation)|Bumblebee]] into [[Cliffjumper (disambiguation)|Cliffjumper]].
*[[Seeker (body-type)|The Seekers]].
*[[Prowl (disambiguation)|Prowl]], [[Bluestreak (disambiguation)|Bluestreak]], [[Smokescreen (disambiguation)|Smokescreen]], and [[Barricade (disambiguation)|Barricade]].
*[[Rumble (disambiguation)|Rumble]] and [[Frenzy (disambiguation)|Frenzy]].
*[[Ironhide (disambiguation)|Ironhide]] and [[Ratchet (disambiguation)|Ratchet]].
*[[Sideswipe (G1)/toys|Sideswipe]], [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys|Sunstreaker]], and [[Red Alert (G1)/toys|Red Alert]].
*[[Cheetor (BW)/toys|Cheetor]] [[Tigatron|into]] [[Cataclysm (BW)|various]] [[Ravage (G1)/toys|other]] [[CatSCAN|cats]].

[[Ricky]] the ranger lived alone in a hut in a Kenyan village.

The [[Decepticon]]s under [[Devil Z]] planted bombs in several woods, causing fires that in turn caused stampedes. The aim of the plot was to destroy the morale of the [[human]]s living in villages flattened by stampedes. The plot was ultimately foiled by the [[Autobot]] [[Pretender]]s, the Autobot [[Headmaster Junior]]s, and Ricky. {{storylink|Panic! Protect the Wild Animals!!}}
