Transformers Masterpiece
The Transformers Masterpiece series of toys is made by Takara and in the U.S., Hasbro. This line of Transformers Toys is a spawn of the original Transformers G1 series of toys by the same companies. The Masterpiece series has been made to look like the original series, but these toys don't transform in the same way.
There are only a total of seven Transformers that were recreated under the Masterpiece line of toys. These Masterpiece Transformers also have a unique numbering system that us the two letters MP followed by a dash and number. They number 1-8 (the Optimus Prime Masterpiece Transformer was released twice with two different numbers.) These are as follows:
- MP-01: Convoy (Optimus Prime)
- MP-02: Ultra Magnus
- MP-03: Starscream
- MP-04: Convoy (Optimus Prime)
- MP-05: Megatron
- MP-06: Skywarp
- MP-07: Thundercracker
- MP-08: Grimlock
As you can see the Transformers that were used in the Masterpiece line are all collector oriented. That is, the original toys of these characters were the most sought after by collectors.
If you decide to collect these, go after the second version of Optimus because he has his trailer in this version. In the first version the trailer is made of cardboard.

A cool way to show off your love of Transformers is by showing off a Transformers Poster in your room or home. There are lots of different kinds to but so we will discuss a few of them here.
The most popular of the posters for Transformers out right now are the Transformers movie posters. Since the movies have been so popular even people who are not fans of the old Transformers series of cartoons are putting up transformers posters. Especially of Megan Fox.

Movies (and by extension movie posters) based on former television shows have largely been huge hits. Batman is a great example that immediately comes to mind. The success of children’s shows like Transformers and Batman reincarnated as hit films for adults have movie goers wondering if hit adult television shows are next in line for the big screen. Perhaps the global success of Sex and the City will inspire a studio to finance a Sopranos movie or an epilogue movie to the Lost final season (ABC’s hit show concluding in 2010).
There is also a good variety of posters of the original Transformers out there that are not hard to come by and can go a long way towards showing off your total Transformers geekness. G1 Transformers posters are the best and usually have some very cool scene from the original series of cartoons that are fairly obscure. This is a G1 Transformers Poster of Optimus Prime beaten up and down:
