  • The 80s gave us many memorable animated T.V. series, and surely, we all have fond memories of certain cartoons from that golden era. One such cartoon was the famous 'Voltron' that was released in 1984 and took us for a ride in a universe of science fiction, fantasy, and robots! Created by Ted Koplar and Peter Keefe, this cartoon was released under the name 'Lion Force Voltron' and had two seasons. Later, there were many adaptations and reboots, including an extensive Netflix series that did justice to the show. However, today we will explore the original animated version and tell you everything there is to know about the Voltrons.

    Ah yes... giant mecha battles and 5 champions in loud primary colors that fought against space menaces... popular before the power rangers ever came into the scene.
    Also its great when you got the lion version and not the vehicles version of Voltron, but both are good in their own way.

    Fun fact, we all know this version of Voltron was from Beast King Golion (pronounced as Go Lion in the series). But originally this was supposed to be Future Robot Daltanious, however when World Events asked for three shows from Toei and requested "the one with the lion", Toei confused Daltanious with Golion and that is how we got that series instead. Although Daltanious wasn't that bad, it was not Golion. Golion did not do that well in Japan either at its original release. But thankfully that error was made.

      Netflix's Voltron Legendary Defender is a fantastic series, state of the art animation and clearly made with a lot of love for the source material (Voltron as well as the original GoLion and Dairugger). 78 episodes total. I used to wish they would make a live action movie, but now that this show exists, I think it wouldn't do the job nearly as well.

    It also robbed my grandad's wallet. I had the plastic Voltron, great for using your imagination. All 5 lions, but it was the cheap version. My cousin smashed it because she was a dik. I was crushed and my gramps knew I took that thing everywhere. We couldn't find it anywhere, but the mall had the large metal one that was like $57 at that time, which was a lot for a toy in the mid-80s. He didn't know the difference between the two so he just grabbed it and bought it. Tell you what, my grandad was my hero for a lot of reasons, but I knew at that moment that I was his favorite grandkid, because he never bought sh*t for any of my cousins or my sister ever. That Voltron got sold by my evil aunt when I went to boot camp, so whoever bought a near mint Voltron in 1992 from an angry lady at a yardsale in Ohio, I hope you kept it.

    A) they won the same way every time-- vertical slice down the middle, so annoying...
    B) more importantly, the friggin monsters they had to fight got cooler, and deadlier and stronger and just better looking each week....
    ONE of them had to win, at least once, come on!
    Or the head bad guy had to have had SOME sorta scouting report on Voltron and could've told the beast, "watch out for the big ass jumping sword strike-- it killed my last 78 monsters, but I got a good feeling about you, ESPECIALLY with this sword info!
