Transformers: Masterpiece Movie Series (トランスフォーマー マスターピースムービーシリーズ Toransufōmā Masutāpīsu Mūbī Shirīzu) is a spinoff line of The Transformers: Masterpiece focusing on the live-action film series, with toys designated MPM-##. This line originally consisted of detailed redecoes of Leader-sized toys from the 2010 Transformers toyline for TakaraTomy's market, and was canceled after only two releases. It was later revived in 2017 for the 10th Anniversary of the first movie, this time featuring all-new molds. The revived line was released in conjunction with Hasbro, with the toys co-branded "Hasbro" and "TakaraTomy" on their packaging.

Following the (near) completion of the first film's cast in 2024 with the release of Brawl, there was consideration of ending the line. TakaraTomy would take over the line without Hasbro, relaunching the line at the end of 2025 as Masterpiece Movie Series Next, designated with MPMN-##.[1]
