A redeco is a toy which uses the same molds as a previously-released toy, but has been reproduced with different plastic colors and/or different paint applications.
For example: the first three Generation 1 Seekers, Starscream, Thundercracker, and Skywarp, are redecos.
A redeco uses exactly the same tools or molds as the original toy. If any changes have been made, even something as simple as giving the toy a different head or additional pegs for locking body parts into place, it is more properly categorized as a retool.
The term repaint is also in wide use among fans as a synonym for "redeco". "Redeco", however, is the term used by the people on Hasbro's Transformers team.
