| A '''running change''' is an alteration made to a toy in the middle of its production run such that two distinct (in some way, often quite minor) toys result, which are considered the "same toy" by the manufacturer, carrying the same wave identifier and (usually) the same internal product code.

| Running changes to [[toy|''Transformers'' toys]] can range from a simple assembly tweak or a minor part [[retool]] to a full-blown [[redeco]], though the latter example is much more rare nowadays (especially since it seems stores can't get ''enough'' Transformers product, making it easier to put out a redeco as a "new" product). Running changes may also apply to the packaging of the toys.
