An escape pod left Cybertron before crash-landing on a wooded planet. A Cybertronian ventured out from the pod into the forest and sighted a growling orange blur. After a ruckus involving a lot of roaring, Kurama and Gamakichi emerged into a clearing and transformed to robot mode before dashing away ninja-style. Naruto Collaborative reveal short

Running into Area 51.

• Kurama & Gamakichi (2025)

• Accessories: Uzumaki Clan kunai, Flying Thunder God kunai, Rasengan effect part, Rasenshuriken effect part, 2 "chakra plate" effect parts

Collaborative Kurama is an extensive retool of Kingdom Cheetor based on the tailed beast of the same name from the manga series Naruto, and comes in a two-pack with fellow Naruto character Gamakichi (though said two-pack is specifically branded as a Naruto Shippuden product). Kurama transforms in 14 steps from his nine-tailed fox beast mode into a robot mode based on Naruto Uzumaki himself.

Kurama comes with two different kunai: a single-bladed kunai branded with the Uzumaki Clan's symbol, and a three-bladed kunai based on the Flying Thunder God Kunai used by Naruto's father Minato. He also has blast effects modeled after Naruto's Rasengan and Rasenshuriken techniques, which plug into a port in the palm of Kurama's right hand. Completing the effect are two more effect pieces that sit underneath Kurama's feet, meant to give off the impression of an anime-esque "chakra aura".

Kurama & Gamakichi were revealed by Hasbro on October 10, 2024, and went up for pre-order the same day.

Notes

• Given getting sealed in other beings is the tailed beasts' whole deal in Naruto fiction, it's a little ambiguous whether the unnamed Transformer scanned the Naruto character Kurama for a beast mode or if Kurama is possessing them directly.
• In the Naruto anime, Kurama is voiced by Tesshō Genda in Japanese.
