Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFor the United States, there were a total of three Voltrons. Voltron I of the Near Universe was the Vehicle Force. Voltron III of the Far Universe was the "Lion Force." Voltron II, from the Middle Universe, featured three humanoid robots that combined into one multi-armed fighter. Toys based on Voltron II were sold in the US, but the show was not. In Japan, there was only Lion Voltron. The other two combiner robots were from other Japanese mecha shows: Dairugger (Voltron 1), and Albegas (Voltron 2).
- GoofsIn order to activate the Lions, each team member had to insert a special key. In many instances when Keith is starting the Voltron forming sequence, his key can still be seen on his tunic, but then is also seen on the panel of his lion, and then moves in the same way - left to right - as it already did when first being used to activate the Black Lion.
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the closing credits, the Black Lion stands up and roars.
- Alternate versionsIn the mid-1980s, CBS FOX Video released four Voltron tapes in Australia. Two of those tapes, titled "Voltron In The Castle Of Lions" and "Voltron Versus The Empire Of Drule", had several scenes cut out by the distributor.
- ConnectionsEdited from Beast King GoLion (1981)
Featured review
An underrated cartoon that is fun to watch
I was only 12 years old when this show began, but I can't remember what motivated me to watch it. However, I enjoyed watching it, and seeing it on the Cartoon Network a few years ago brought back a lot of memories. This show consisted of two Voltrons: one that is merged via robotic lions, while the other is formed by means of giant motor vehicles (planes, cars, and what have you). But in each episode, you only see one Voltron or the other. It's a fun cartoon to watch, but it's incredible that it managed to get away with killing a lot of characters. I think Voltron is one of the most underrated cartoons, and I'm not afraid to admit that. If you like animated adventures, I strongly recommend watching Voltron.
