A third party Transformer toy is a transformable toy created / intended to be part of the Transformers series by an unlicensed 3rd party toy company. These toys can be completely original designs, new molds based on existing characters, add-on sets for existing Transformers toys.

Copies of existing Transformers molds are generally not regarded as third party Transformers, although the lines are somewhat merky because of examples of collector companies occasionally producing toys that copy some Hasbro/Takara mold work, while adding some original molding as well. One-Off customs are usually not considered third party Transformer toys.

Growth of the third party Transformer industry is largly due to rejuvenated interest in Transformers following release of the Classic line in 2006 and the 2007 Transformers film release. It was largly targeted at filling the gaps Hasbro's toys demanded by the collectors.
