  • Vehicle Voltron is JDM!

  • final saw this, now i understand why my parents were calling it junkyard voltron

  • well,if you look at the unused gestalt from transformers, (the design that never being made into toys) there's an autobot gestalt using 15 robot like vehicle voltron. And there three teams in it, racing, rescue and construction.

  • (sorry, ignore that last comment; meant to search not post!

  • Bionic six

  • Hold on guys, something's not right! Let's take it back to Step 6!

  • Lions are more epic

  • LOL...they forgot to say FORM CHEST...for the jet to fix itself there...lol...classic...brings back awesome childhood memories

  • I agree- this Voltron is good as sucking on a slice of lemon! Especially once it was butchered by the American studios (no offence to any Americans out there) I watched an episode of this on some naff promo dvd oohh geez where do i start?! A two minute time limit in Voltron mode because the nuclear power core can't give more than that?!! Nice excuse to keep the fight scene short and incorherent... The original i.e Dairuuga? (speel check) most defin. kicked better ass.

  • Not as epic as the Lion Voltron

  • I just nutted.

    WAY better than the lion voltron.

  • I remember a Robot Chicken sketch where they kept screwing up the transformation sequence on this one that all the officers were dead when they went to go save them.

  • @CaptainAshSpearow Hold on guys, something's not right! Let's take it back to Step 6!

  • @PadihamPhantom thats from robot chicken isnt it?

  • Especially considering dainty A- and B- pillars are a mark of Japanese cars :)

  • those car feet must be incredibly tough considering what they hold, not too mention the glass in the windows and windsheild

  • Anybody here remember when they appeared together in a special episode? I think it's considered a movie.Don't remember wht the name of it was though.

  • @81carlos Yes, it was called Fleet of Doom and it was rather good!

  • I like the Vehicle Voltron better., more impressive and faster assembly than the Lion Voltron plus I love the way it formed the blazing sword by merging the two rotoblades together forming as if it were a lightsaber. Unfortunately World Events really screwed up with the cuts and changes to the original Dairugger XV and made this vehicle series hard to follow. As a result Lion Voltron was by far the better series and most remembered.

  • @sjdrifter72 but the vehicle voltron was just a BETTER voltron. to this day watching them form voltron still gives me goosebumps.

  • and for the record I am 35. .

  • The only problem I had with the Vehicle Voltron was that it could only stay in robot form because it needed solar energy.

  • Just so you know, supposely the technology for Vehicle Voltron was developed after humans from Earth captured and studied Lion Voltron.

  • Ever notice how Lion Voltron always got his ass kicked for a while before making a comeback, and Vehicle Voltron (I always called him Spaceship Voltron) just kind of dispatched whatever poor bastard got in his way...

  • What was the japanese name version of this?

  • @misora25chan

    Dairugger

  • Why negative comments about Vehicle Voltron? That's so childish. Do the research: Many adults over 30 prefer Vehicle Voltron series due to the more realistic, serious story plot lines (military strategies, political struggles, espionage, technology problems), while majority of young people like the fantasy type plots comic relief - (Nanny & the mice), teen qualities of the 5 pilots and the animal-like qualities of the robot Lion.

    Neither version sucks. Both have their pros and con features.

  • @ACLTony

    then why does that same age group like gundam wing over the original gundam, which is far more militaristic and has a far deeper storyline with more dynamic characters?

  • i drive a car to work daily but if i drove a lion to work every day that would different

  • I ALWAYS DREAM 2 HAV A VOLTRON DIE-CAST METAL TOY WHEN I WAS A KID. :-/

  • Vehicle Voltron =EPIC FAIL!

  • Vehicle Voltron looks hard to assemble because of all the vehicles, and the lion Voltron was more easier with the 5 lions.

  • thisw voltron SUCKS more like a go-bot n like a go-bot it BLOWS

  • @doocatee25

    LMFAO!!!! This is the greatest youtube comment ever!

  • Lion Force Voltron got his power from 5 elements. But Vehicle Force Voltron only had 5 minutes of nuclear power. I'd take Lion Force.

  • The Lion Voltron is more popular than the Vehicle Voltron. The Lion one is more fantasy while the Vehicle is more scientific technological. I wonder if Vehicle Voltron roller skates in those car feet.

  • @van76 Yes. He just rolls on the wheels on the cars from the land team that form his feet. I remember seeing it happen in one episode when I was a kid.

  • Comment removed

  • too many parts and too fast forming, no epic ness, if that is a word, LOL!

  • The parts above the torso is still believable that it could move... but I've been wondering how the lower portion could move since it looks like it's been put together like building blocks

  • In the 90s I found a gold KO Dairugger in TRU for $10. While I have several GoLion Voltrons, that one just fits the bill fine. Good enough for me.

  • Interesting info: Vehicle Voltron (aka Dairugger 15) was an entirely different series when it was first aired in Japan. It was originally not a Voltron until it was redesigned to be merged with the first Voltron series (Lion) and aired as a sequel in USA.

  • @edeligonul

    And Lion Voltron was called Beast King GoLion.

    World Event Productions was hot to import so they tied all the titles as a Voltron (which was suppose to be a trilogy series but Dairugger killed the intrest)

    A real fun fact was that the series WEP initialy screened was Daltanious. They enjoyed the series but couldn't recall the name so they told Toei "the one with the lion". Confused they sent GoLion which was never screened, but WEP loved it so much they ran with it instead.

  • i want to form the head...

  • I had the vehicle voltron toy as a kid and that thing kicked a LOT of ass. It was just as awesome to play with as it was to see in this video.

  • The lion Voltron toy had lots of nice lead in its paint. Vehicle Voltron was healthier. ;)

  • lion VOLTRON PWNS this one

  • @raveakidd - I enjoyed watching both Voltrons, but to me, Vehicle Voltron was a hard charging battle mech. This brute has a cooler blazing sword, spinning lazer blades that fly like boomerangs and slice through objects like miniature swords, solar combat spears, solar whip.......even with 5 minutes of energy this brute is one serious combat machine! Lion Voltron is more fantasy oriented, while the Vehicle series dealt more with politics, governments and military campaigns. More realistic.

  • @ACLTony yeah,the vehicle voltron owns the cheesy lion voltron hands down.the lions were for children.the vehicle was more sreious.

  • Cant we all just agree both FAR better than stealth hamster...er stealth "voltron". look it up.

  • Man we used to call this Voltron "Car Voltron" back in the day. We thought this shit was wack. It was way too much shit going on in this version for our young asses to keep up with. This shit was like Robotech, with like 20 different muthafuckin' characters every goddamn episode. At least, that's how I remembered it.

  • @inzzo3000

    You don't know shit broseph.

  • @pinoi78 are you offended? lemme guess... you got pictures of the princess on your wall that you masturbate to. i said I was a fuckin' kid, of course I didn't know shit then. I'm sorry that I don't have the MINT CONDITION diecast voltron displayed on a shelf in my mother's basement, which, the basement, of course, doubles as my "bachelor pad." In your case, bachelor pad is a euphemism for "the virgin's lair." Simply put, YOU ARE A FUCKING GEEK!!!

  • @inzzo3000

    U MAD.

  • Dairugger all the way.

  • vehicle voltron kicks ass

  • @luisadrego26

    Vehicle voltron SUCKS ass. 

  • kool

  • Had the videos for Lion Force Voltron and Vehicle Force Volrtron favorited, but it seems as though that individuals account has been suspended or deleted.

  • That's some classic shit man.

  • Reminds me of the old Diaclone toys.

  • EL LEON ALADO¡

  • What was the name of the robot show with the girl robot with rocket tits? And another kid on it made a robot out of junk.

  • @k9feces the name is MAZINGER Z ¡

  • @k9feces Mazinger Z (1972) and Great Mazinger (1974)

    :

    watch?v=w3AVjw-cjiU

  • lion voltron

  • bueno este tampoco me gusta y a este voltron e sacas al y se desarma

  • I I remember watching the movie where they both teamed up. That was some classic shit.

  • Japan sure loves their robots that combine to form bigger robots.

  • am i the only person who doesn't remember anything but the lion voltron?

  • I have a rare version of the lions the vehicle one i remember viewing on TV alot. wish i could have afforded one when i was young but back then when i saw the toys it was like close to 40 bucks i think . in the early eighties and rather high quality product too.

  • I have to say even though I loved the Lion Voltron more, I thought the Explorer ship in the Vehicle Voltron was awesome!

  • He's a great big phony.

  • I had the toy of this one when I as little. It was HUGE and awesome, until some dumb ass friend of mine broke one of the legs. Little kids are so stupid. Haha...

  • I preferred VV to LV when I was a kid but I haven't seen LV in over 13 years and VV in over 25 years lol. I feel old as dirt now.

  • Got enough cars for your own personal DMV if you ask me lion voltron would kick his ass

  • I wanted the Lion Voltron so bad for my birthday when I was younger. My mom got me this one instead. I had never even seen this one before.

    The disappointment lasts to this day....

  • As a kid, I preferred the Vehicle Voltron over the Lion Voltron; but watched both. I managed to buy the Vehicle Voltron set when I was a kid; but sadly lost them over time (heck I bought it in '84 or '85) Don't be disappointed; the Vehicle Voltron was more mature and better written! And Optimus Prime played Captain Hawkins!

  • still got complete whole lot !

  • i still have this action figures in my basement ...omg.. time goes fast

  • @tomkoolman I originally had the Air Rugger when I was kid, but I found a a complete Dairugger knockoff in a toy store when I first started college.

  • i had vehicle force voltron when i was a kid. stoked to see this on youtube.

  • lion voltron was bettr ~

  • What the hell is this junk? This is the lame version of voltron. Lion voltron FTW!

  • lol, they made a pun of voltron phrase on winx club when the super-sentai-like guys appeared, they where a mix of power rangers and the bird ones that i cant even remember their names, the last member of the team was a robot and the girl trow all parts to the sky and the guy joined all his parts together saying in the end "and i'll form the head" oh i loled soo hard and i like this voltron better, also they looked more like panthers, so "lion"s? i dont think so

  • The only 1 of the "LIONS VOLTRON" that even looks like a Lion is the Black cat(Main body & Head) because of its BUILD,Black lion is lot bigger and more-->STOCKYthan the other 4 cats-U are right about the other 4 looking more like PANTHERS-(or COUGARS,both cats have same body build, They just colored differently)

  • this voltron is cool but I perfer the orignal

  • botha rer diferents but so awsome at the same time  nice cartoon

  • yeah always call voltron... It's like the original power rangers with a messed up story... fucked up because of the title.

  • and i'll form DA HEAD mothafucka!

  • This lacks the majesty of watching the lion Voltron forming.

  • Vehicle Voltron was the first one i watched...and it will always be my favorite...it's so cool. thanks.

  • I saw Vehicle Voltron first as well and have always preferred that one. Strange for some reason because it looks like the Lion Voltron was actually the first season and Vehicle was teh second.

  • @quikfax: yeah, i never got to see many of the vehicle episodes...after they started the lions season, our local station ran it over and over again. there's just something about having three teams that makes it cool!

  • Itdepends on the TV NETWORKS in yor state,Could be they got the LION VOTRON first and shown it until the season ended-In the meantime,Network is trying to find SOME SHOW to fill those time slots to keep thier ratings up-So U got lucky to get to watch BOTH VOLTRONS in yor area-I got to to see the all 3 of the Voltrons-Even the very rarely seen 3RD VOLTRON(-GLADIATOR VOLTRON,It DOES EXIST!) MATCHBOX TOYS had diecast metal toys made of VOLTON 3,2 And 1 looooong ago-EBAY might have GLADIATOR VOLTRON

  • Wow classic. LOL I could never understood why they alwayse waited till the end to use the sword.LOL I am like just cut the little dance and pull your stuff out volty.

  • I just won a bet with the video, I told everyone there was a car voltron.

  • Make U even MORE MONEY >=)P Bet 5-10 X more same person that there was a 3RD VOLTRON-It was a GLADIATOR MODEL(had 3 robots that joined together,VOLTRON 3 was rarly seen in the USA,Due to poor marketing...But MATCHBOX TOYS did produce a FULL 3 ROBOT GIFT BOX,As well as the other 2 Voltrons gift sets-**SETS HAD METAL TOYS**,not the cheap plastic stuff we see in stores today! >=(p

  • Ive always liked the vehicle volton better

  • @ajones35 AMEN

  • @KronnangDunn

    Amen to what?!? Vehicle voltron was terrible.

  • @ajones35

    WHY?!?

  • @ooOmegaSupremeoo It was a little more reality based for me. :D

  • @ajones35 I agree

  • @ajones35 but lion voltron has lion head all over its body u gotta like it

  • Where can I watch him?

    I've only watched the robot lions!

  • So was fleet of doom only created in america, cause I read an aricle saying it never broadcaste din Japan.

  • It was commissioned by the guys who made Voltron out of GoLion and Dairugger. They paid Toei to make a crossover movie of the Voltron series, so it was made in Japan, but for US audiences, and it has nothing to do with either Dairugger or GoLion.

  • I know in Japan both Lion Voltron and Vehicle Voltron are two seperate shows with no connections. But in america the combined both series toegther, so where does the film Fleet of Doom fit in?

  • The two series were combined to meet the number of episode requirements required by the networks. (65 episodes was the minimum amount of episodes to meet the kids programing). The fleet of doom was made using various footage to tie the two series edited together to try and tie the two differnt series together.

  • The lion Voltron was much better!

  • The Lion Voltron is the "more iconic" version of Voltron, meaning it is the one that most Americans think of when they think of Voltron.

    Lion Voltron was more "fantasy"-oriented, whereas Vehicle Voltron was more "technologically"-oriented.

    I personally like them BOTH.

  • So do I! Personally I could never decide which one I liked better. So I like them both. But as you and I both know, most American fans are strictly Lion Voltron fans. But just for the record, I think they're both awesome.

  • If you still have your Vehicle Voltron, like this post. :) (*likes my own post*)

  • i need the episodes lol

  • I love vehicle voltron but the only problem that I see is that they are way too many and it's idiotic to expose one of the cockpits on the chest of voltron

  • lol this reminds me of Robot Chicken

  • it should, they did a parody of vehicle voltron before.

  • Though I loved the Lion Voltron more, who didn't. I still liked the Vehicle Force Voltron too, more now, than when it use to come out. I loved it when they teamed up in that fleet of doom episode, the (2) Voltron Forces, you can't beat that.

  • lol metalkrush would like to give some head to Voltron.

  • gatsiangnat fan loves to get get fucked by the robeast, while his mom gets gang banged by the hobbits lol!

  • It's not even the real Voltron. It's just that stupid vehicle one.

  • The lions were definitely better, but voltron vehicles will always have a special place in my heart.

  • Does anyone know of THE THIRD VOLTRON-This is a 3 robot team that combined to form a 6 armed robot...I know the VOLTRON TOY existed because it was PRODUCED BY MATCHBOX(Bodies made out of die-cast metal-You dont see stuff made like that today!!)-And I only saw that **RARE VOLTRON 3 cartoon** series aired 1nce cause network canceled after 1 season-Look on EBAY FOR VOLTRON METAL-BODY TOYS

  • I guess its dartanias. search " dartanias op ed " on youtube.

  • correction

    its albegas. search " albegas op ed "

  • They did release toys (I had one as a kid). According to the official site, they scrapped plans to release "Gladiator Voltron" due to the poor reception of Vehicle Voltron and just continued to run with the Lions.

  • Grew up with the original Voltron - where they had robotic lions and THE original Princess Allura - there's nothing better than that.

  • Define ORINGINAL-If you can still find BOTH VOLTRON 1 and II DELUXE BOXES on EBAY,you will see that on those boxes,VOLTRON 2 is the LION VOLTRON,so it is not the first Voltron many people mistake it to be-Just as there can only be 1 VOLTRON 3 GLADIATOR ROBOT(look on YouTube-ALBEGAS VOLTRON) that didnt sell too well.

  • Aye, I have Voltron: Defenders of the Universe on DVD and the collection I have are where they are using the Lions as part of Voltron, so I am not sure if it is only season 1 or seasons 1 and 2 together.

  • Actually Lion Voltron/Beast King Go-Lion first aired on March 4, 1981 while Vehicle Voltron/Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV first aired on March 3, 1982.

    I remember when it aired here in Michigan; the story went that Lion Voltron came first and Vehicle Voltron was the next generation with the previous series' kids.

  • AND l'LL FORM THE HEAD

  • i remember this one ...... 17 years ago

  • Hahah no doubt man.

  • Lion Voltron was better.

  • No it wasn't.

  • Yeah it was and the one most remembered and popular.

  • 1 of main reasons why people liked the 5 robot lions is because its DESIGN WAS SIMPLE(If you want NOSTALIA CLASSIC-LION VOLTRON will always be chosen). But if you enjoy a puzzle challenge more complex? Then that 15VEHICLE VOLTRON is top choice

  • WAAAAAY better, this vehicle Voltron is crap.

  • u should see the vehicle Voltron part in Robot Chicken, you'll laugh ur ass off

  • I had this toy. My parents got me THE WRONG VOLTRON when I was a kid.

    Then I got the real voltron.

  • What's that WRONG version. I want to know that detail.

  • As a child I was kinda disapointed that they got me vehicle Voltron instead of the Lions Voltron.

    I was a kid. I didn't even know they had a vehicle voltron cartoon. Seeing it now I still think it's better than alot of kid cartoons today. But anyways..

  • To lifer4164

    That's too bad. But in Japan, Vehicle Voltron toy was more expensive than Lion one. Vehicle one was about 10,000 yen. This was most expensive toy in 20 years ago at least as far as charactor cartoon category. Could your WRONG voltoron devide into15 vehicles?

  • Hahah I'm not going to argue about Voltron pal.

    I just liked the Lions better, thats all.

  • @namuchiZDK I still have my vehicle voltron set... still in really good condition!

  • I had this toy to. The plastic clip that held the hands together broke off when I pressed the "fire" button to release the hands. It was a late run toy whit poor quality made plastic.

  • If you had a chance to own same copy with everything it had that came with it-Would you buy it?(And as for that plastic clip that broke off?-Plastic Models best friend is KRAZY-GLUE=)...) All VOLTRON METAL TOYS are now selling on EBAY

  • Voltron where were you? Its not even the real Voltron.. its just that lame vehicle one... (gunshot to the head) scene end

  • This was Voltron's gay younger brother

  • It's not even the real voltron...

    it's just that stupid vehicle one..

    *commits suicide*

  • When i was younger (16) i bought Both Lions & the Vehicles b'cause i thought they were the coolest thing of the 80's great vid my friend. Brings back a lot of memories.

  • i liked both voltrons, but i guess they were apples and oranges in a way. if you like cars as a kid you were more into the vehicle voltron. if you were a nature boy you prolly liked the lions better.

  • I always wondered... they wer ein space, why did they have cars?

  • The reason they had cars is when they would try to exsplore other areas the five members of the land team would unite thier vechiles together to form a special machine to exsplore the surface of a new planet while the sea team and air team would unite their groups to form vehicles that would help them exsplore from underwater and in the air.

  • And this one looked better. :P

  • I prefer THIS Voltron over the lions.  The robeasts were more ro than beast, and the bad guys were not really bad, they were more like protecting their territories. Plus most of the lion episodes were boring. :P

  • as said on that ep of robot chiken

    "that aint the real voltron"

  • the lion voltron had 5 lions this thing has like 20 vehicals

  • Close-Actually HAS 15 VEHICLES(And pain in butt to form Voltron=)...Buy full scale 15 vehicles FROM EBAY

  • I prefer the lions over the vehicles.

    Oh, how I miss the '80s.

  • He had some pretty sweek kung-fu moves for a big robot. Loved the toy but as soon as you lost one part, the whole thing went to shit....

  • Vehicle Voltron. Musta been the GM version....

  • i had the lion collection, the other one was never that popular. Do anyone remember the crossover with both Voltrons ??

  • Well acroding to what i have found out is the one made of the five lions was temporarly brought back to earth in order for the others to get the way to make the other one from the fifteen vehicles. Then the only other time you see the two togetehr is in that "Fleet of Doom" special where both of them must work together to beat the joined froces of the Viceroy of the Drule empire and King Zarkon.

  • damn you're good !!

  • if you go back to the original source you will find that the vehicle voltron is the original version, and the lion version is the third incarnation of voltron.

  • Source please.

  • This is how I get ready for work in the morning...I have no job.

  • there were 15 pieces, 3 teams, 5 vehicles to each team, land, air and sea team, they could each form a sort of 5 peice larger vehicle. I think there was an episode where someone was missing and they formed the robot without an arm or something, needless to say voltron got his ass kicked for a while and then the missing vehicle miraculously showed up they reformed and the rest is history...

  • as long as this intro is if they put it to fight the lion voltron he would have had his ass kicked.

  • ok imagine these guys:

    they need all those cars, ships, submarines and all that shit. then some good day one of the pilotes comes and caches a funking cold so they are screwed no voltron and i thinck i was like 15 of them
