| - Redecoing is a form of repurposing used in television production and toy production that involves modifying an existing design (but not going as far as physically changing the sculpt or form as in retool) to create new concepts or characters. In toys redecoes and repaints differ in that redecos also change the base plastic color used, while repaint only changes the paint.
- A redeco, or recolor, 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 One 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 at Hasbro. Additionally, the term "repaint" is technically wrong in almost all instances of a same-mold-new-colors toy, as typically more than the paint applications are changed when a toy is redecoed.
