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.

• Kurama & Gamakichi (2025)

• Accessories: Uzumaki Clan kunai, Flying Thunder God kunai, Rasengan effect part, Rasenshuriken effect part, 2 "chakra plate" effect parts
• Known designers: Evan Brooks and Mike Booth (Hasbro), Tomoki Tatsumi (TakaraTomy)

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, both of which can peg onto his hips for storage. 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.
