Originally launched to bring the legendary Trainbot Raiden to life, Transformers Masterpiece G (MPG)—short for Masterpiece Gattai (合体)—has grown into a bold new chapter in Takara Tomy’s Masterpiece series. While “Gattai” means “combine” in Japanese and reflects the line’s combiner-based origin, MPG now goes far beyond Raiden.

Today, MPG includes a diverse range of premium G1-style releases, including non-combining characters, retools, recolors, and new figures not previously represented in the Masterpiece line. Each release features the same collector-grade engineering, articulation, and screen accuracy expected from Masterpiece—often with enhanced team cohesion and character fidelity.

Explore a new generation of G1-inspired engineering with Masterpiece G Transformers from Takara Tomy. This specialized subline within the Masterpiece series updates beloved Generation 1 characters with sleeker transformations, anime-accurate proportions, and improved articulation—designed for collectors who want the best of both classic design and modern innovation.

Unlike earlier MP releases that leaned heavily on real-world alt modes and intricate transformations, Masterpiece G focuses on capturing the exact look and feel of the animation models from the 1980s cartoon. These figures prioritize screen fidelity, intuitive transformation, and dynamic posing—all while maintaining compatibility with existing MP-scale collections.

Why collectors choose Masterpiece G Transformers:

• Pure G1 Cartoon Aesthetics – Sculpted to mirror animation designs from the original Transformers TV series.

• Collector-Friendly Transformations – Streamlined engineering for faster, more enjoyable conversions.

• Modern Build & Articulation – Improved poseability, clean silhouettes, and expressive faces.

• MP Compatibility – Fits seamlessly alongside other Masterpiece figures for unified display options.
