The Transformers: MPG (トランスフォーマー MPG) is a spinoff line of The Transformers: Masterpiece, with toys designated as MPG-##. The series's title is an abbreviation of "Masterpiece G", with the "G" standing for Gattai (合体, "combination"), "Giant" (巨大化 kyodai-ka), and "Great" (グレート gurēto).<ref>MPG hub on the TakaraTomy website</ref>

Beginning in 2022, the line launched with a series of The Headmasters Trainbots that combine to form the first official Masterpiece combiner. These figures feature an emphasis on vehicle mode accuracy, being produced in collaboration with TOMIX, the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Rail transport modelling|{{#if:train department|train department|Rail transport modelling}}]] of TakaraTomy's [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}scale model|{{#if:||scale model}}]] oriented subsidiary Tomytec, and licensed by a bevy of railway manufacturers. Accordingly, the figures are mostly functional model trains at the HO scale,<ref name="FigureKing285">Figure King 285: Interview With MPG-01 Raiden Development Team – English Translation at Soundwaves Oblivion</ref> which also puts them at the right scale for robot mode in terms of cartoon-accuracy. This was followed up with Masterforce headliner Ginrai in 2024 and Godbomber in 2025, with the addition of redecos for Shattered Glass Optimus Prime and Jetfire based on the characters' previous Masterpiece molds.

With the end of Masterpiece in 2024, MPG will serve as TakaraTomy's singular toyline for such "high-end" product. Notably, the aesthetics of MPG figures (sans redecos from the Masterpiece line) feature a more intricate hybridization between the cartoon designs and their toy equivalents, making them closer to the earlier Masterpiece figures before cartoon-accuracy became the standard design philosophy for the line in the second half of the 2010s.

Fiction

MPG has received a smattering of fiction in the Japanese market, thus far largely focused on the initial Trainbot project.
