  • What a nostalgic rush. This intro reminded me when life was much more simple. Their theme song was so heroic, it almost brings a tear to my eye. Kind of makes me wish they really DID exist.

  • I loved this show as a kid, but my dad actually got annoyed by it really fast. I remember him actually snapping at the tv while it was on one day and Voltron was fighting one of the big monsters, and my father saying "Do they EVER try something else???"

  • The only way this can get more awesome is if Devastator, Superion, Neutro, Optimus Prime, Megatron, Megas, and the Megazord all make surprise cameos!

  • @PunchSydeironReviews for your information.

    Super Sentai series, the original version of Power Rangers series came out in 1975. Golion, the original version of Lion Voltron came out in 1981. and both were made by the same Japanese movie company named Toei. plus there were tons of this kind of anime in the 1970s. Gatchaman (1972), Combattler (1976), Voltes (1977), etc.

    if you have never seen any Super Sentai, look at my favorites (Sunao).

    and if you live in the US, search "uncensored voltron".

  • @PunchSydeironReviews

    btw the first megazord was spiderman's leopardon. if you have an interest in it, search "japanese spiderman".

  • ah yes, Voltron. Where the Black Lion pilot wears Red uniform, Red Lion pilot wears Blue uniform, and Blue Lion pilot wears Pink uniform.

  • @kamuigaga Yes because predictable is BORING. 

  • Oh ho ho ho! So THIS is where the slow forming Voltron jokes come from!

    Robot Chicken, you dastardly mischievious little demon. Keeping old classics relevant by ripping on them. Nice

  • volcom commercial for the voltron intro?? coincidence??

  • @Unicron187 WHOAH seriously??

  • This and Transfomers practically epitomized the definition of EPIC during the 1980s.

    And yes, it's so damn epic, that Optimus Prime did the intro, and played the role of the Princess Alura's father.

  • Peter Cullen FTW!

  • I want to be six sitting on the couch watching this again. Being an adult sucks.

  • @wvhoblol Hahaha. I was just thinking the same thing. There were so many great shows back then.

  • @wvhoblol Watch the new one on Nick. they made a new one.

  • @SomeGamerKid Nono, you misunderstood him. He wants to be a kid and watch the GOOD cartoons he grew up with, not the shitpiles that rot the minds of today's youth.

  • @osuSX EXCUSE ME?two things wrong with that sentence.

    1) you obviously thought it was appropriate to swear at me. however you did not read the last part of my name. (please no swearing.)

    2) while it's true that COMEDY cartoons were a lot better back then, a lot of the action cartoons are pretty good nowadays.

    besides, you may not know it, but you're probably only saying that because you grew up with those cartoons. someone in my generation would probably like the newer cartoons better.

  • @SomeGamerKid 1) I didn't swear at you. I was referring to new cartoons as being *that word*. If my language offends you, sorry, but welcome to the internet.

    2) The only good action "cartoons" are anime.

    When you get older, you'll see the charm that old (pre-2000ish) cartoons had and realize how bad the current ones are too. It just come with age. I recommend watching Tom & Jerry on Boomerang to see what I mean :)

  • @osuSX OH no, i totally agree with you, old cartoons are awesome, but new ones are also good.

  • @wvhoblol Just because society saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaays you have to grow up and be an adult.........doesn't mean you have to. Adults have to MAKE the kid cartoons. Heck, they're probably watching the old shows right now. No one's stopping you, just go ahead and do it!

    There's a time and place for everything.

    As long as you know when to be an adult and not be a kid when filing your taxes then I say GO AHEAD! Enjoy being a kid again!

  • RACING THROUGH THE JUNGLE OF LIFE, A TRUE WARRIOR, A TRUE LION, A TRUE MAN NEVER HOLDS BACK, NEVER GIVES UP, NEVER SURRENDERS. HE STANDS AND FIGHTS FOR THOSE HE LOVES, FOR THOSE WHO LOOK UP TO HIM. SPACE, TIME, AN ARMY, NOTHING CAN HOLD HIM FROM HIS DREAM!!!! VOLTRON!!!! JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE ARE?!?!?

  • @RX78 You're all wet off this stuff lol

  • I love how the Futurama parody of anime shows (in the season closer "Reincarnation") basically lifted their music directly from Voltron. I knew I recognized it from somewhere. Hilarious stuff. Watch the episode if you like these old 80s anime shows. The episode nailed them spot on.

  • @chewbacca1010 In the episode where they go to a planet and robots start to evolve, one of the exhibits at the robot museum is a voltron lion. But one from the new series. It took me a few seconds to realize.

  • I remember smoken pot and watchen this, wow man cool!

  • Voltron was so kick ass that Optimus Prime even made the intro for them!

  • VOLTRON!!  80´s cartoons rule damn it!!

  • Voltron was power rangers before power rangers was cool.

  • No matter how many times I see this, it just never gets old. True legends and classics neveer die!

  • the power rangers are a major rip off of voltron

  • @boomcrazy56

    in a word, the power rangers are not a major rip off of voltron.

  • They don't make cartoons this good no more

  • good times, great memories!

  • I didn't know Optimus prime did the intro.

  • i dont believe now i was watching this when i was a child :D thats my favorite cartoon :))

  • Now form the head! lol

  • I'm a child of the 80s and 90s and i love all of them shows. And as i watched them again now, i realized this is one of the most kick ass TV opening for a cartoon shows of 80s but of all time. Period.

  • This intro sucked

  • childhood where are you now

  • Gotta love Peter Cullen's (aka Optimus Prime) voice.

  • i dont know.. maybe because it's super bad ass...

  • waah namatay si VOLTRON... sa MCarthur ni Bob Ong ko hihihih

  • 63 people mated wit Hag and didnt activate their interlocks....

  • was power rangers inspired by this show? i see a lot of similarities...

  • Comment removed

  • I'm about to scare the hell out of everyone. I'm waiting for Hollywood to make a live action version of this. I'm just waiting, it's only a matter of time. Watch and see.

  • primes voice ftw!

  • voltron its best than transformers !!

  • I had the Voltron Castle of Lions. It now is big bucks on ebay. I loved that playset! Thumbs up for the more obscure shit of the 80s which I don't find this obscure but if i talk about it people don't know what I'm talking about, this is our childhood right here people

  • I liked that vocoder part.

  • Thanks! This REALLY takes me back to my childhood! Happy memories! Thanks again!

  • @RX78 interesting...

  • OH THIS IS WHAT EPIC MEANS. NON OF THAT GAY ASS CHUCK NORRIS SHIT.

  • Was this made in Japan, it looks more western style, I remember gaiking and some other huge ass robot cartoons but this one looks weird. Also power rangers ces into mind I guess they ripped the megazord idea from voltron.

  • Comment removed

  • @RX78 thanks

  • did u know they are making a real movie of voltron coming out 2013-2014 no lie look it up

  • @jingman3

    most american remakes of japanese movies/ shows/ anime are poor works.

  • SHHHH! Optimus prime is talking

  • 61 people can form my cack.

  • This is what Ezekiel saw when God landed on Earth.

  • The Power Ranger???? hahah XD

  • I can't actually believe at first that it's Peter Cullen who was talking at the opening!

  • Alright a few things here, 1-That narrator sounds just like Optimus, 2-Whle giant robots are cool, and anyone who says otherwise has clearly never stopped to imagine what their life would be like if they could ride one to work using the same highway as their boss and "accidentally" trip over his car. But who the hell would want to pilot a robot that not only takes FIVE people to activate, but one where even after you turn it on you can only control ONE limb! Stupid Power Rangers...

  • ЭТОТ МУЛЬТИК ОЧЕНЬ ХОРОШИЙ МНЕ ПАНРАВИЛОЬ

    

  • I Miss This Cartoon. It was one of my MOST Favorites on t.v. when I was a kid. :) They don't make cartoons this good anymore. can't stand sponge bob or that stupid purple dinosaur...what's his face. or many of them that are on today. I wish they'd make cartoons like this still. Much better for kids to watch this than the garbage today. that's My opinion.

  • @JenJui Your opinion is shared by many including myself!

  • This looks and just feels better than the terrible trailer, which they call "Voltron Force."

    I was born in the 80s and not to sound bias but the cartoons today, they are rather frail in comparison. The emotional connection just doesn't exist today. You've seen one cartoon today and you've seem them all.

    No wonder Hollywood has been on a remake 80s frenzy.

  • sooooooooooooooo i totally still have this toy in my room, in the drawer where i keep my power rangers zords.......love it

  • @SEXYCBO Soulmates?

  • transformers < Voltron

  • ah.. the days when you CARED about the cartoons.. after school..... not like these days.. throw away toons left and right.. /sigh..

  • wasn't there a girl, too?

  • Comment removed

  • @Hisara87 uh.. you DID see the .. hell.. i want to say ranger.. but you know what i mean.. the PINK one is the chick.. deh!

  • @TheTraveler12 deh... in entire opening there is only one scene in which she apeares(I haven't see that, don't know how),so I was wondering where is she, since that kid obviously gets more kredit then her.

  • 60 people are doushe bags

  • @DANNYKRC there not doushe bags they just need to take some of that genetic enhancement shit like in the up coming movie '' rise of the planet of the apes'' once they have evolved then they will realize how stupid they were to vote no

  • @avatarhammer true true

  • Hahaha! Intro done by Optimus Prime...Nice!!!

  • power rangers parents!!!

  • @1983tracyann for your information.

  • @RX78 Omg I totally forgot about that. I've seen a few clips on youtube. Ok let me rephrase that, voltron was my power rangers before power rangers aired in the US.

  • I came here to show my kids the original opener music. This is so much better then the new one on Ntoons. They agree.

  • Is green a girl....if so, I find her HOT!

  • @921144666 Um...sorry to say...Pidge(green one) is a boy

  • @demonangel918 Dang it!  Of course...

  • @921144666 I used to think he was a girl when I was little,because the clothes threw me off...but the voice was all geek boy lol

  • @demonangel918 I used to watch the show as a kid, but I forgot what the green one sounded like. I just find the smart nerdy type of girls to be pure HAWTNESS! And, he kinda sorta maybe resembles the smart nerdy type...kinda! ;-)

  • @921144666 If you heard his voice,you might want to strangle him lol. As a lady, I love the smart,nerdy type myself.

  • @demonangel918 lol! Does the Green one have the nerdy Urkel type voice? :-) Wait a minute...does that character even portray the smart nerdy type?!? I don't even know! I'm just going by looks. He could be the most manliest character out of any 80s cartoon, and I wouldn't even know. :-D

  • @921144666 He portrays nerdy all the way,he was the computer savvy short person lol. He had a urkel kind of voice too lol. He was no way manly...especially with that head band lol

  • @demonangel918 That's it! I'm going to Best Buy right now and buying the first season of Voltron! I can't take it any longer! I must see why I loved this show soooooo much when I was five years old! And, I am going to root for Pidge the entire time!! :-D

  • @921144666 yes.. hes hte smart one.. and with a nerdy voice.. the 80's were awesome.. cartoons then are 1000 times better than the shit now.. other than justice league from cartoon network..

  • @TheTraveler12 WELL SAID! Bring back the 80s vibe in todays cartoons! Gotta luv the 80s!

  • My names is Optimus Prime... and this is VOLTRON!

  • and how much do they look like g-force

  • this is like a mix of transformers a thundercats lol and new age power rangers lol

  • The guy who is narrating sounds like optimus prime

  • @TRAINDALEK001 It is. Peter Cullen did the narration for Voltron.

  • The new Voltron Force show is quite good and at least follows the original story line... but it adds a bit that might take some getting used to. The only part I object to is, even though they kept the anthem in there, it's nothing in comparison to it's original. This one still gets my blood pumping! Let's Go Voltron Force!!!!

  • and i'll form my head

  • Hello, I'm looking for the name of a very similar anime show to this one... there was a team of guys and each guy had a robot - a car, a fighter plane, a mechanized horse and together they could combine and form a blue robot... I used to watch that as a child and I would appreaciate if anyone let me know the name of that show. Thank you:)

  • I'd take Tom and Jerry over this any day

  • Activate interlock

    Dyno therms connected

    Infracells up!

    Mega thrusters are go!

  • Wow Optimus Primes voice actor does the intro. I like how Starscream and Cobra Commander are the same. And Lois Lane is Lady Jaye lol

  • AND I'LL FORM...THE HEAD!!! =)

  • @WesCivilz Dang you beat me to it.

  • @CocacolaCowboy1919  haha, love that part...

  • Remember watching this when I was a youngen,but now I see Nickaloaden re-made the series it looks horrible they should had left it alone and aired the old series,cause Old Skoo Cartoons Kick's ass

  • How many people had to restrain themselves when they came back home after college, traveling, etc only to find that mom threw out all your (GI. Joe, Transformers, Mask & Voltron) action figures.?

    She used up all her "mom passes" on that one mistake.

  • I loved voltron. Wish I still had the action figures

  • in case you don't know, Peter Cullen(Optimus Prime) voices the intro. ^_^

  • I highly doubt the new show, Voltron Force, will be as good as the original here.

  • And il form the head

    ....noooo ......

    I thought you were taken a skit

  • I love this cartoon...I'm 48 years old and have watched this cartoon since it started in 1984...Voltron kicks ass and will not be denied....FORM BLAZING SWORD!!!!!!!

  • mass effect.
