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.

Check out this original G1 Transformers Grimlock review. Grimlock itself is in amazing shape for being so old. This Transformers video review shows how to transform Grimlock from robot form to dinosaur form.

Grimlock is the most powerful of the Dinobots. Grimlock generally conciders himself superior to Optimus Prime but still follows the Autobots direction.

Awesome video of a custom Optimus Prime costume. Original G1 looking Optimus Prime. Not really something you could actually walk around in, it looks more like a statue.

This costume is really a piece of work, even the neighborhood stop and take a look while Optimus gets dressed.
