Naruto Teams Up with Transformers. Believe it.
If you thought seeing the shinobi from Naruto team up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was wild, you haven’t seen anything yet!
In a surprising new crossover, Naruto is now teaming up with none other than the Transformers. Yes, you read that right – Konoha’s finest are joining forces with the Autobots and Decepticons (or Maximals & Predacons) in what might be a strange, but insanely cool collaboration.
Even though Naruto’s world of jutsus and giant animals seems pretty different from the robotic battles of Transformers, this new crossover promises to be exciting. On October 10, 2024, also Naruto’s birthday, Crunchyroll recently gave fans a sneak peek at what this epic mashup will look like.
Unlike the TMNT crossover, which will be a comic book series, the Naruto Shippuden and Transformers team-up is all about new action figures. Two of Naruto’s most famous creatures, Kurama (the Nine-Tailed Fox) and Gamakichi (the giant frog), are getting transformed into Transformers figures!
Transformers Naruto Release Date
These toys are set to release in April 2025 and will be priced at around $54.99 each. If you’re a fan of either franchise, pre-orders are already available online.

What’s Next for Naruto and Transformers?
We don’t know if there will be more figures, but I’d kill for a transforming Susanoo.
Both the Transformers and Naruto universes have a bright future ahead. On the Transformers side, fans were recently treated to the animated movie Transformers ONE, which was a hit.
While there’s no word yet on a sequel, Transformers will be returning to theaters with an exciting live-action crossover with G.I. Joe.
As for Naruto, the latest manga series Boruto: Two Blue Vortex is continuing the story, focusing on Naruto’s son, Boruto. The new series shows Boruto as a teenager, facing tough enemies and challenges, all while trying to set things right.
While there’s no news yet on when the anime will return, Studio Pierrot has confirmed that they’re working on four new episodes from the original Naruto series, which should be exciting for OG fans!
