| A '''running change''' is an alteration made to a toy in the middle of its
| | #REDIRECT [[Variant]] |
| 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.

| ==Examples==
| |
| | |
| *[[Transmetal]] [[Rattrap]]'s neck-hinge was retooled to include a "catch" that keeps his head upright better in robot mode.
| |
| | |
| *The original bone-tan and purple deco for [[Dinobot II]] was changed to bright white with blue.
| |
| | |
| *The Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] [[Dinobots (toyline)|Dinobots]] toyline had the name "Swoop" changed to [[Terranotron (Dinobots)|Terranotron]] on the toy's ID sticker after initial shipments.
| |
| | |
| *[[Classics (2006)|Classics]] [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]'s air scoop on the roof of his car mode was made a touch bigger after the first half of his run when it was found that the [[rubsign]] did not fit on top of the scoop itself. Classics [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] was made from the bigger air scoop [[mold]], as were [[BotCon]] 2007's [[Bug Bite (G1)|Bug Bite]] and Classics Bumblebee from the Wal-Mart [[exclusive]] "Legacy of Bumblebee" 3 pack.
