Third-party Transformer
A third-party/3P Transformer toy is a transformable toy created / intended to be part of the Transformers series by an unlicensed third-party toy company. These toys can be completely original designs, new molds based on existing characters and 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 murky because of examples of 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 largely due to rejuvenated interest in Transformers following release of the Classic line in 2006 and the 2007 Transformers film release. It was generally targeted at filling the gaps Hasbro's toys demanded by the collectors.
The list below are generally third-party producer, since the design itself normally being outsourced to another person/company.
