The '''Masterpiece''' toyline is a series of collector-focused ''[[Transformers brand|Transformers]]'' toys, all based upon classic ''[[Generation 1]]'' toys, but with today's advanced engineering techniques. ''Masterpiece Transformers'' tend to be very expensive, with an average price of 10,000 yen (roughly $80USD at current conversion rates), and with Grimlock's cost purportedly rising to 13,000. Currently, the Masterpieces appear to be on a bi-yearly rotation, with a new one being released in the spring or the fall.

Though the ''Masterpiece'' line is largely developed by [[Takara|Takara/TakaraTomy]] with the [[Japan|Japanese]] market in mind, several releases have been made available in [[Australia]] as Target-[[exclusives]], distributed by [[Hasbro|Hasbro Australia]].
