Who would have thought that Kurama and Gamakichi would ever join the ranks of robots in disguise? Well, anything is possible in the wild world of Transformers crossovers, where even iconic Street Fighter characters can turn into vehicles. That’s right, folks—Naruto’s universe—specifically, Naruto: Shippuden—has officially collided with the Transformers universe, and the results are oddly intriguing and wildly interesting!
Introducing the Transformers Collaborative Naruto Shippuden X Transformers set, where Kurama and Gamakichi take on an entirely new challenge—converting into robots. Kurama shifts from his familiar 9-tailed fox form to a robot in 14 steps, while Gamakichi hops (you’re welcome!) between robot and toad mode in just 12. Equipped with accessories like kunai, chakra plates, and a summoning scroll, this mash-up is packed with enough ninja flair to keep both anime fans and Transformer collectors on their toes.
If haven’t already noticed, those are possibly new molds. I don’t know what other Transformers fans think, but this might be the most genuine crossover—right up there with the Monster Hunter collab figure we saw last month. We didn’t mention the other crossover with the Godzilla franchise because, well, it was beyond terrible. Imagine Grimlock being forced into looking like Gojira. A nightmare! And Laser Optimus Prime as—wait for it—Kiryu, aka Mechagodzilla. What!? Horror! Horror! 🤮
Packaged in a scroll-inspired box straight from the Naruto universe, this set is not only a toy but a work of art—or at least a very cool conversation piece. If you’ve ever wanted to see how a giant, mystical fox and a toad would look if they were secretly robots… well, here you go.
Folks who desire to have mechanical Kurama and Gamakichi in their collection can pre-order the Naruto Shippuden x Transformers Kurama and Gamakichi Figures from Hasbropulse.com for US$54.99. The product is expected to ship starting April 01, 2025. Yes, of all days, it had to be that day. Rest assured it will not be a prank on you.
