Yet another <strike>lame</strike> <strike>cheesy</strike> awesome [[gimmick]] in the fight for toy dollars is the ability for a toy to change color.

	Generally this is done by [[Paint operation\|application of paint]] or a [[sticker]] which contains some sort of color-changing ink or paint. This color shift is brought on by the power of love and a positive, can-do attitude, but the heathen scientists, whose ~~[[wikipedia:Mood_ring~~\|mood ~~rings]]~~ never worked, have other explanations, which will be given for the sake of humoring the unbelievers.

	This color change is usually linked to temperature, and is called a '''thermochromic''' quality. A Transformer with color-changing features probably uses a '''leucodye'''.
