	'''Repurposing''' is the practice of using an existing toy to represent a different character than originally intended. A very early example is the [[Walmart\|Wal-Mart]] [[exclusive]] "blue" [[Rattrap (BW)#Transmetal1\|Transmetals Rattrap]], which represented a [[Transmetal]] form for [[Packrat]] in the ''[[Transformers: Universe (comic)\|Wreckers]]'' comic book series. In many cases, this means a single toy can represent more than one distinct character.

	Repurposing happens when a character in a fiction uses the character model and color scheme of someone else's toy. The repurposed character has no official toy release of his own, but the toy can take on double-duty representing both the character it was originally released as (the character on the box) and the repurposed character established later on in fiction.

'''Repurposing''' is the practice of using an existing toy to represent a different character than originally intended. A very early example is the [[Walmart|Wal-Mart]] [[exclusive]] "blue" [[Rattrap (BW)#Transmetal1|Transmetals Rattrap]], which represented a [[Transmetal]] form for [[Packrat]] in the ''[[Transformers: Universe (comic)|Wreckers]]'' comic book series. In many cases, this means a single toy can represent more than one distinct character.

The repurposed character has no official toy release of his own, but the toy can take on double-duty representing both the character it was originally released as (the character on the box) and the repurposed character established later on in fiction.
