#RetroBlasting #Voltron #GoLion
Growing up with both Voltron shows, I can really appreciate your commentary now as an adult and share most of the same views. I love how knowledgeable you both are about the history, mythology etc. Great job guys. Love the show.
The Star Wars vs Star Trek analogy was brilliant! And it explains why I like BOTH Voltrons.
I always like both Start Wars and Star Trek, and could never understand why people fought over them.
I used to tell people to just imagine that both took place in the same existence, and that the only difference
was that Star Trek took place in our galaxy, while Star Trek took place in a "galaxy far far away"
So yes, if you look at it like I did, it's easy to see why I liked both Voltrons. To me it was just two different shows,
that took place in the same universe.
Oh, and one quick Power Rangers story... Up on my toy shelf, among all my old G1 Transformers, I still have my
old Matchbox die cast lion VoltronIII (the big one that combines) Well one day my 8 year old my nephew was
asking me about it, So I said "Do you know who that is?" and he said "its a Zord" and I said "No, that's Voltron"
and he just looked at me, all sure of himself, and replied "NO, THAT'S POWER RANGERS, IT IS A ZORD!!!"
Needless to say, my heart just sank that day.
Wow, i genuinely learn so much about Voltron from these videos, i'm 35 and thought i knew it all. thumbs up
I'm sad I missed this panel. It was on my list but I got stuck in the vendor rooms. Thank you for posting this... GREAT JOB!
this is so great,so glad to have a chance to see these panels,since i can't be there in person.
In addition to the new Lion Voltron episodes, there was also a TV movie commissioned by WEP where the Lion and Vehicle Voltrons joined forces. It was released on DVD. Strangely, on the DVD they left in the commercial breaks: not the actual commercials, but black screens with no audio where the TV station was supposed put in commercials.
Fantastic panel M&M (: looking forward to Monday's panel vid.. Love you guys!!
The Golion opening theme may come across as simple math: "one plus one plus one..." but I've seen it as clever. These are pilots who, through much of the series must find ways of putting their own egos aside (much like GoLion before the Goddess split him up). It emphasizes one pilot plus another pilot, plus another make a powerful team in the form of this GoLion.
Great panel guys! As someone who's always preferred the original Beast King GoLion and the Japanese shows in general this was a treat! :) I had known about Voltron for years but being in the UK back in the day it wasn't very easy to see it. When I started getting more into mecha anime over the last 5 years or so I had heard of how the original show was much more darker and when I saw it, being more familiar with tropes and themes from many other similar shows, I instantly liked it alot more than Voltron. There's many underlying complexities sometimes in mecha that just aren't picked up, especially when the show is adapted for the western market. Nonetheless, Beast King GoLion is a great show! :)
I still believe that Beast King GoLion can benefit from having an uncut dub. That way, people who love Voltron can still watch Voltron, but can also enjoy the original version translated and uncensored.
looking forward to the video of the 1 season wonders. Voltron one of my favorites of my youth really enjoyed both of the videos from your panel thanks
videos keep getting better ,congrats ,by the way love melindas laugh
Really great work Mike & Melinda! I wish I could have been/ will be there tommorow. What I've love to do is come down for dragoncon, hang with you two for a bit, buy you two a great steak dinner, and discuss all things 80s lol. Who knows I might get a decent book idea out of it LOL
The TV station in my area didn't replace Lion Force with Vehicle Force after the lions ran through their episodes. Once the Lion Force run was complete, they just went into reruns. At that point, the station began airing Vehicle Force Voltron in the mornings before school, while the Lion Force continued to be shown after school.
I have still have the LJN motorized lions from when I was a kid. I also have a rerelease from 1997 of the original lion Voltron toy. (This was probably a tie in to that CG show.) IIRC, the '97 one was given to me by my brother who just bought it for the weapons that his original one was lacking.
The '97 one isn't quite colored correctly, though. E.g., Voltron's face is black instead of blue.
Thank You!!! Awesome Panel.
I loved Vehicle Voltron!
Good Voltron 101. I love the origins behind our favorite shows. I think the uniform color has to do with command rank. Red=Leader, Blue = Second and so forth.
Great video team.
Will the 1 season wonders be uploaded as well? I really love these, thanks for taking the time to film, render and upload them for us to watch.
One more thing i didn't hear you mention about the Matchbox lion Voltron was that not only did they strip the toy of weapons, missiles, sword, they went a step further and removed the springs in all the launchers so there was no chance of you finding a projectile from another toy and use them.
While I fully admit I'm really only a fan of Legendary Defender (the reboot), it's interesting to learn the history behind the old series and how it was adapted in the US.
Now, I have a hunch that in the roboot the Garrison might know more about the aliens then they let on, maybe even trying to make an alliance with the Galra (Druil). Also, I really hope Lotor and some of the other older Voltron characters come back in the new one. I really hope that Shiro doesn't die in the new one.
27:04 This is kinda funny in hindsight considering the Legendary Defender series that came out this year and the Power Ranger reboot movie coming out next year.
Just saw the new Voltron on Netflix and I think it's great!
Heck Yeah!!! had the Legend of Korra team put together something awesome!
Yes, it is outstanding. A must see for Voltron fans.
While Super Sentai predates Golion, the design of the Daizyujin from Zyuranger (the Dino Megazord from MMPR) was definitely inspired by Golion. Tsuyoshi Nonaka (the costume/mecha designer of Zyuranger) admitted as much in a Toei site years ago.
From Santiago de Chile, congratulations for such an interesting panel of "Voltron". Here in Chile the TV networks show many of the shows you talk in your conference but not "Voltron"... although at the eighties you could find some of it's toys at very high price (something that you could find in the US for US$10 you could find them here for US$30 or US$50) but the show was never shown by any TV station... that I can remember now. For many years I though that Voltron was a comic and it wasn't until the mid 90's when I first came to Europe I could discovered that it was a TV show when I discovered the VHS and Laserdisc. Between 1995 and 1998 there was a TV show called "Maldita Sea" ("Dammit" in English) show some sequences and with the development of the DVD, Blu-Ray and Internet we have the possibility for the first time to see what "Voltron" was really about. Thank you for all the information and I wish that one day you could come to Chile to make one of your conferences.
+Gaspar Gajardo I'd love to come to Chile! Maybe get some practice with my Español...
Good and interesting panel!
Hay I love your videos so much
+ACT- Shorts thanks!
Please more vintage Star Wars figures. Love the yellow light saber video
Gladiator Force Voltron received a single pilot episode which aired in late night television probably once on Channel 11 in St. Louis. I know because as a child, I watched it on TV. It never appeared again.
+awkenney What is the name of the Japanese anime version of it?
+Jon Stewart Kousoku Denjin Albegas (aka Albegas)
I found it. I could only found one episode. It was pretty good.
Great panel I had a vehicle voltron and I loved it (never got Lion Force because it sold out every christmas time) and I always used some of my Inhumanoid monsters as bad guys to fight Voltron
I don't see why Vehicle Voltron get all this hate, I loved it and as a kid I wanted that one way more than the lion Voltron
When I was a kid I got the Yellow Lion for my b-day and it had the weapons
Did you explain how the name "Voltron" came about? (I thought I heard you mention in this or part 1). Or is it "unknown" but likely based on American syndicator taking "volt" (as in an electric volt) and "tron" (as in electron).
Hey are you guys going to be at the ECCC in April if so what day so I can purchase my ticket for that day
Totally love the vids of the Con panels you post. If I can't be there I at least can watch it. I was wondering if you recorded the season 1 80s cartoon panel that you mentioned in the last few minutes? Have you thought of doing videos about Jem and Holigrams, Dinosaucers or Dink the little dinosaur?? Thanks for posting this. I had a blast watching it.
We're doing that panel tomorrow and it will be recorded. :)
ohhh ok. I thought this was from weeks ago. LOL. my bad. Happy Labor Day! Can't wait to see it.
+RetroBlasting sweet

To be fair, the animation of Lightspeed Electroid Albegas actually looks pretty awesome. It just seems like a less interesting Gattai robot combination
Aw, I was hoping you'd mention the colors of the suits related to the pilots' names. Each name was a metal. So you had bronze, silver, gold, etc.
+Geoffrey Linehan Yeah, I thought I might lose the audience if I went into a lot more of the Japanese backstory - I personally love it, and I do think the metal names are pretty cool (although it makes them sound very similar to each other!).
It does.
Very interesting to have watched this after I have already seen 4 season's of Netflix's Voltron: Lendary Defender.
good panel, i didn't know a lot of that stuff about voltron. But I was just wondering why you didn't mention the crossover movie for lion force and vehicle force? or did you did I just missed that part.
+Greg Hohman We only had an hour and when you get rolling you sometimes can't fit everything in.
+RetroBlasting understood, can defiantly understand that.
Great panel! I love the reactions in the room when you showed the Golion and Albegas clips. And the Star Wars/Star Trek, Original Trek/Next Gen analogies actually do make sense. I do have problems with Lion Force though, and maybe it's just me as an artist but I really didn't like the animation. The designs were OK, the story and characters were OK but for some reason I can't get around the quality of the animation.
I wish you guys would do a review of Saber Rider
+dgftw it is in development
I don't remember who made it. But I remember getting Voltron from Meijer when I was a kid. It had all the weapons for the lions, shot missiles, had the sword and shield, and had parts on the lions that opened for the missiles. It was cheaper then the other Voltron that my friends had. I remember still wanting the one without all the stuff, Meijer had both of them at the time. When I told one friend of mine about it he said "oh you got the knock off Voltron".
+Ghost sadly I no longer have that one. Just the one that didn't come with the other stuff or have parts on the lions that opened.
+Ghost I do still have the sword, and maybe some of the lion weapons.
So they ran to the same problem MMPR would have been ( Dairanger but also as Vehicle Force, Saban was scared to change the cast and the Dinosaur theme )
I'm surprised you didn't mention that Gladiator Voltron , while missing a show, did have their Chogokin toy released in the states. I sadly remember passing on it despite it being cheaper than the Lion and Vehicle sets because, as you stated no show meant I had no godly idea what it was supposed to be.
+tony jackson We mention the three toys at the beginning of the panel, with graphics and discuss the roman numerals...
+RetroBlasting ahh thought you just mentioned the series never aired here. If you ever get a chance, the story of Animax would be a fun video.
Yes, that's because this is Part 2 of a two-part panel.
We got Albegas (canceled 3rd Voltron show) dubbed and broadcast in Arabic.
"The cat doesn't know what hit it."
I actually like the vehicle force. That is I liked it when I got older as a child I only wanted to see the Lion Force. As for Voltron Force.... I can't get into that right now.
And on the subject of names... any idea what "Dairugger" comes from? "Dai" means big in Japanese, but "rugger" ("ruggaa" prob in original japanese) means nothing. Maybe it is "Japlish" for "rugged"?
Dairugger Roughly translates to "15 Rugby players" it's a pun
Hey can you do an uncanny xmen action figure and animated series episode? Thanks!
it's funny the extent to which Japanese freely uses loan words. I believe most school kids studied English in grade school, but it is a bit like American TV liberally and randomly giving programs Spanish titles. ;) "La Flecha" for CW's The Arrow. >:-D
Voltron who? Melinda looks so fucking hot here!
Vehicle voltron was a nice show, just not very memorable to me. Went a long time before i saw it again and it's still just ok.
voltron dw comics answered why vehicle voltron looks like he doe's earth reversed engineered lion voltron
I was lucky.. my Voltron got to face off against my Shogun Warriors Godzilla
You guys need to make your way to Ohio!
Xdddddd
The Nanny from Go-lion died. Good. I hated her.
