	I noticed that [[Ratchet (G1)/toys#Universe\|Universe 2008 Ratchet]] has a section of his vehicle mode roof that's red rather than white like the rest of it. (It's the part that's behind his head in robot mode.) I'm pretty sure it's unpaintable plastic, as it's certainly not an intentional deco choice, and doesn't appear to be painted, ~~(If it ''isn't'' a mistake, then it's an even worse deco choice than the windows.)~~ but I don't want to add that information to the article without being one hundred percent certain. Does anyone if it's unpaintable plastic, or how to see if this is the case?
