'''Kenzan''' (ケンザン) is an Autobot police car and leader of the [[Swordbot]] [[Swordbot Samurai Team|Samurai Team]]. He can combine with [[Jinbu]] and [[Ganoh]] in various configurations. With Kenzan as the top, '''GoKenzan''' (ゴウケンザン ''Gōkenzan'') is formed. After the arrival of [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Exprime]] on [[Earth]], he also gained the ability to combine with Optimus and the [[Swordbot Shinobi Team|Shinobi Team]] leader [[Gekisoumaru]]. With Kenzan forming the head, shoulders, and arms, the combined form is called '''DaiKenzan''' (ダイケンザン ''Daikenzan'').

*'''Kenzan''' ([[June 22|6-22]]-[[2013|13]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''G01'''
**''Accessories:'' Two swords, kabuto helmet/weapon

: Part of the second wave of [[TakaraTomy]] ''[[Triple Combination: Transformers Go! (toyline)|Go!]]'' toys, Kenzan is a roughly Voyager-sized toy that transforms from a Japanese-style police interceptor into a samurai-styled robot, even including a robotic [[wikipedia:Chonmage|chonmage]] topknot! He can also form the top, middle or bottom of the Swordbot Samurai Team's three combined robot forms. He has two swords (with [[5mm post|5mm]] handles) that can be held or stored on tabs on his backpack or shoulders. He also has essentially no lower torso, with his legs and ''kusazuri'' flap masquerading as his abdomen.

:His ''kabuto'' helmet is worn in GoKenzan form to form the super-robot's head. It can also transform into a large, ungainly double-barreled cannon which can attach to Kenzan's back or, via 5mm post, be held by the robot or mounted atop the police car.

:Kenzan features complex electronic lights and sounds. In vehicle mode, pressing the Autobot-symbol button on his roof activates flashing lights and a repeating siren. Transformation into robot mode triggers a shout of "Transform!" and the classic transformation sound. In robot mode, pressing the same button triggers a number of phrases (in Japanese, natch). The button's functionality changes when held down: in police car mode, it now activates yet another phrase, while in robot mode, it triggers shouts by all three Swordbot Samurai to combine, followed by a musical "combination sequence" tune that plays until a) his kabuto is snapped in place, b) the button is pressed again, or c) his batteries run out. This music is accompanied by a strobing three-color LED.

:Once a combined form is completed, the kabuto attached determines what clips further presses of the button will play, but they are all dialogue delivered by the appropriate voice actor of the top third of the combination. In addition, GoKenzan's dialogue is punctuated with a blue LED, GoJinbu's with yellow, and GoGanoh's with red. The combined robot mode is armed with a giant melee weapon formed from all of their individual melee weapons, as well as an aesthetically-questionable, but proportionally less ungainly blaster/cannon made of the unused kabuto helmets.

:Upon his initial release, Kenzan included his [[Mini-Con]] partner [[Zan]] when purchased from a large number of retailers (including [[Amazon|Amazon Japan]]).

He has a "spinner" in his chest that depicts various symbols of the expression of his face, his twin swords, and a Japanese character. He comes in a three-pack with equally small, super deformed versions of [[Jinbu#BeCool|Jinbu]] and [[Ganoh#BeCool|Ganoh]].
