I preferred the lion voltron over the car version. I remember when they replaced the lion version abruptly with the car cartoons, that was the first feeling I had of being jipped as a kid
I miss this Voltron. I used to have both. Looking back now I think the transformation would make more sence if the damned trucks just STOPPED moving!!! Woulda saved a ton of time. I mean, he could easily be disrupted during mid sequence.
@ClockworkWielder i liked the vehicle one better, apart from it being the first voltron i remember watching, i just always thought it looked cooler, plus traveling through space was more interesting than defending the same planet day after day
i too like both version but if you ask me who is the better good looking woman hands down it would be Ginger of the vehicle force especially in the 1 scene when they were given a little R&R and they all went swimming or something like that and she wore that black bikini.man did i ever got a hard-on on that scene.
@ClockworkWielder You're not alone. I didn't like Lion Voltron that much, but I was immediately captured by the vehicle version. It just felt and looked cooler to me.
@andoc Really because I liked the lion voltron more than Vehicle. Too many pilots to remember in the lion one. Also remember which Voltron lasted longer. Lion lasted longer.
Let me add, I preferred Lion except for one glaring thing that used to irk me, when they replaced Sven with Allura for the Blue Lion. It was silly when she got involved with the team, just stay in the castle and rule your people along with those stupid mice. Sorry if this seems sexists but that's how my friends and I felt back then and I know I can't be the only who feels this way
15 freaking vehicles to form Voltron??? That used to kill me when I watched this growing up. Can you imagine in REAL time how long it would take them to unite to form Volton.
Para mi la version de autos fue mejor que la de los leones, tal vez fue porque casi no transmitieron la version de leones y la de autos si, ademas tuve el juguete de voltron vehiculos pero el gusto me duro solo 2 dias porque perdi la mitad del robot. lastima!!
you know this the only form of voltron where the leader's vehicle forms the head in the Lion voltron the black lion that Keith piloted it forms the head and torso
@ClockworkWielder No you aren't the only one. I loved Vehicle Team and thought Lion Team with the silly pastel mice and princess crap had nothing over epic space wars.
Lion Team is more fantasy, Vehicle more Sci Fi. And I have always been bigger into Sci Fi than fantasy.
This was just lame way way WAY!!! o many pieces to make voltron.. I mean come on I can see 5 lions forming a robot but like 15 cars ....the best part is that no bad guy was ever able to single out and attack one of the cars while attempting to position for formation priceless FTL.com
@DarkAsylum316 They actually did. I remember one episode dealing with the girl who piloted the fighter that covers voltron's chest being singled out, and having to overcome the trauma of that. I think the only problem was that you had 15 characters, and couldn't get to know them as well as lion voltron's cast.
DAIRUGGER XV and GO LION are two different animes called Voltron in the states,and they are NOT related.It's like saying Mazinger Z is the same as Optimus Prime.Both series were good.
This Voltron isn't bad. Lion Voltron is the iconic version. I have to admit that the action scenes were faster and weapons looked cool. Only two main problems for me - one is too many vehicles to combine. If something goes wrong with just one vehicle then they cannot combine, second is Vehicle Voltron/Dairugger only has 5 minutes of power once he is formed. That's the reason why battle s are fast. He doesn't have time to fool around. Wonder why Drules couldn't figure that out.
Even though the lion voltron assembling is much better,this voltron looks like he ready to whip some ass..LOL.Especially at 0:26-0:30.And I always liked when they revealed this version of Voltron's face at 0:17-0:18.Classic cartoon at its best.
Sorry guys, but I kinda disagree....think about it.....15 vehicles.....they combined to form land, sea, and air teams....and to top it off, they also formed Voltron I....don't get me wrong, Voltron III was the most popular of the series, and years ago I bought the lion set first , but I just think there was more play value with the vehicle set.
Original Voltron looks the best. I miss both of my two versions of Voltron toys from back when I was a kid. A lot of the parts were metal. They were quite heavy for a kid to carry around. =)
If you guys would google this the wikipedia page explains everything. They didn't do it "to sell more toys," it's a completely different Japanese TV show that the translators re-edited and combined with footage from other shows to make it "Voltron."
I feel the sorriest for her (the pilot was female). Think about it, she gets attached to the front of armor like a sacrificial lamb, with her cockpit clearly visible and in an easy to strike point.
@shadowsam619 vehicle one would be better if it were fewer damn pilots and fewer vehicles... 5 lions were pushing it but got the job done..... all those cars and planes are just stupid...for that why not have the robot already assembled to save time or have atleast more robots ?
@yourneighbahoodpusha lolz mate voltron lion force comes first then theres voltron vehicle and then voltron gladiator which was not very popular, just for the record
What I find is that when you're a kid, you tend to like Lion Voltron better because it's a simple, fairy-tale story of good vs. evil that appeals to most kids. Vehicle Voltron, however, appeals more to adults. Watching it now as a grownup, I realize that VV had layers of sophistication in its political subplots that went WAY over my head when I was a kid, but that I appreciate now.
You know...how much would it suck to be the small torso part. I mean everyone else gets to be something cool and its all like HAY GUIZE I"M THE TORSO PUCK!
Just for the record, I couldn't tell which one was my favorite; Lion Voltron or Vehicle Voltron. I've always liked them both equally. But there's no doubt that Lion Voltron is WAY more popular.
That's Voltron 1 (the "Near Universe Voltron", built after Galaxy Garrison consulted with King Alfor of Planet Arus) The Lions Voltron is Voltron III (aka "Voltron of the Far Universe"). Voltron II ("Voltron of the Middle Universe") was never translated for American fans, since Voltron I did so poorly compared to III.
@cootmaster The story I've read was there were 3 Voltrons. King Randor created the Lion -Voltron defended Planet Aries. When the Galaxy Alliance began exploring for other planets they asked King Randor to help them and he designed a 2nd Voltron, the vehicle Voltron and the when Earth was under attack from the Drool Empire a 3rd Voltron composed of 3 humanoid robots were built and could combine their powers. After the 2nd Voltron didnt catch on that much the 3rd series was never aired in the US.
I used to love the way Voltron used to finish his enemy with a sword. I was so much impressed that used to take a strong, thick stick & annihilated all the plants in our yard in "Voltron" style. I can't tell what happened after that
I remember one episode where this Voltron is forming and the one leg doesn't get formed right away during their attack. Just one of my favorite memories.
I preferred the lion voltron over the car version. I remember when they replaced the lion version abruptly with the car cartoons, that was the first feeling I had of being jipped as a kid
