VOLTRON INTRO

[purdoy25]

Wow these super robot stories always have these kinda 5 characters:

1. good guy with a strong sense of justice

2. a girl

3 a delinquent-esque guy

4. a small nerdy guy

5. a huge fat dude

[GearShotgun]

there should have been a cross over with Voltron and the Thundercats, i think the thunder cats piloting the lions would be pretty bad ass

[Gilmoreboy2007]

@GearShotgun Interesting combination, that would be cool to see!

[Primus2X]

What company makes the Voltron toys?

[footman005]

I tohught that voice sounded familiar :)

[wongsrowot]

voltron voltus gataman they all are japanese only dubbing in english

[GrandLordBaradar]

Optimus Prime is the Narrator because Voltron is an autobot :P

[TheVoltron05]

@dbzmaddox actually it is Japan who should do the remake and not AMERICA.

[totalymesmerizd]

hey man when they formed blazing sword..you knew i mean you KNEW IT WAS CURTAINS FOR THE ROBEAST..HE WAS LIKE AWW #$#$#@$@#$#@@$

[unstoppableExodia]

LoL how much more badass could a fighting robot be when it has lion heads for hands and feet. That muthafucka could maul 4 poor bastards and talk shit about their mama at the same time yo

[imafreak123bob]

When Voltron was doing his joining together thing, what was the bad guy doing?? just watching it happen?? it dose go for awhile.

[Holloway6151975]

what about Voltron with the cars maaaannnnnn.............lol

[genestarwindjf80]

Ahh this brings me back. coming home everyday after school watching Voltron and not doing my home work

[kenyoung1981]

Regardless of the fact that Voltron and Power Rangers were made by the same people- Voltron would kick Power Rangers ass. I mean honestly, that's all that really matters.

[Blueiceman79]

The Original Power Rangers

[TheMasterOfOmni1900]

That narrator is Peter Cullen AKA Optimus Prime.

[DrFrankLee]

Wu Tang should use this.

[2199]

stop watching when they didnt rescue Sven......he escaped on his on. The Joe team would have resuced one of theirs and freed the slaves on Planet Doom.

[AceCorona]

Does anyone remember what soda missiles were?

[dbzmaddox]

2011 voltron force suck ass they need stop remake my old classic to update they need to air oringial catroon 

[chrisserchrist]

they really failed at a catchy theme song....I mean what is a n 80's cartoon without a catchy intro??

[ultramegatrion]

Optimus Prime is talking about Voltron......that's AWESOME!!!!!!!

[BRAD123FUN]

as a kid, so cool

[hypergap]

Defender without fingers.

[braigus09]

Shush! Quiet all! Optimus is trying to tell a bedtime story.

[MrSalvatore1974]

Shit man they better make a fuckin movie

[MrKevinlclayjr]

@MrSalvatore1974, They are developing a CGI animated movie they showed photos of the lions on Ign.com and it looked EPIC man. The movie should come out in 2012 or so. Another film that will hit the big-screen is a "ThunderCats" movie it will also, be computer animated like the upcoming "Voltron" movie. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Movie was EPIC!!!! but, Dragonball:Evolution compared, to it was crap. Japum was talking about Street Fighter it also, made DBE look like crap.

[japum77]

They should do a movie of this! Unless they intend to ruin it.



[siruspernot]

@japum77 Uwe Boll probably asked to do this, people remembered Street Fighter, then slapped him across the face. If they were smaller than him he no doubt challenged them to a boxing match afterwards.

[videozfann]

80's cartoons ruled!

[spoonmonkey14]

The New Voltron Cartoon is shit.

[BrainTetsujin17]

@spoonmonkey14

the new voltron is an american cartoon, not a japanese anime. most american remakes of japanese movies / shows / anime are shit.

[spoonmonkey14]

@BrainTetsujin17

Well said mate.

[moviemetalhead]

simpler times indeed...

[lordteapot]

can someone explain how the good planets of a single solar system form a galaxy spanning alliance and maintain peace throughout the entire universe lol.

[Sonic3nKnuckles]

@lordteapot cuz they got Voltron, defender of the Universe, on their side. duh. Maybe, you didn't hear when they said this is the story of the super force of space explorers. lol

[MultiplexZYURANGER]

i am octumus prime! lol

[befron2044]

what happened to the dark blue guy? I thought that the tickled pink girl replaced him as the pilot of the light blue lion.

[weirdwatch]

@befron2044 She did, in one episode he was killed off (for real in Golion, not sure how they handwaved it in Voltron)

[befron2044]

@weirdwatch from what episode of Voltron did the princess pilot the light blue lion?

[weirdwatch]

@befron2044 from episode seven

[Captnspork]

@weirdwatch yeah, essentially he was "injured" and sent to a hospital to recover and was never seen again lol

[leftclickben]

...and I'll form the head!

[RX78]

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 V (1976), Voltes V (1977), etc,

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

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

[thenightmarebeforeha]

Am I the only one who thinks it's absolutely hysterical for Peter Cullen to be talking about a "mighty robot?"

[TheHeroTutorials]

I thought that Voltron was the coolest Mecha ever as a kid.

...until I saw Daizyujin (Megazord) and Dragon Caeser (DragonZord)

[HazMatMedia]

God I miss being nine.

[DIGIMON148]

@HazMatMedia you can watch all the seasons of voltron on netflix

[Expeditionwithbass]

I love how the 80's cartoons were. They weren't these sissy little shows of today. 80's shows were badass. 80's kids rule!!

[MrCaptezz]

What happened to cartoons like this

[OgreMECH]

Optimus Prime's the narrator of Voltron! Awesome!

[sdhubbard]

@OgreMECH I just noticed that right before I saw your comment. XD

[OliverKoolO]

@OgreMECH The Best I know that voice anywhere. lol

[SevenFootOne]

@OgreMECH Wow! Didn't notice that till now.. Awesome!

[maulerrw]

ROLL OUT

[Madams1977]

The "good" planets of the solar system? Damnit, Uranus.

[NinjaRafter]

Jesus Christ, these guys didn't know shit about astronomy.

THANK GOD VOLTRON WAS THERE!

[gdziejestmojpies]

OPTIMUS PRIME'S VOICE!!!!

[MennacetoSociety]

@gdziejestmojpies

omg yessss i was thnkin the same shit lol

[bigdaddyGordo]

Totally forgot optimus did the voice over for the intro....what a guy lol

[transfandude]

WAIT! voltron works for the alliance..... screw it im movin over the the idependants.

[ifartalot07]

@transfandude The Vehicle Force Voltron was fully controlled by the Alliance. Lion Force Voltron, however, is a different story all together. True, the team was the original Air Force squad, but they signed on to protect Planet Ares. Lion Force Voltron doesn't belong to the Alliance and they cann't legally lay claim to it. So yes, Lion Force Voltron works with the Alliance, but they don't own him.

[hildegarde07]

All hail Peter Cullen! Narrator of Voltron and the one and only voice of Optimus Prime. 

[TheSV3]

@hildegarde07 Peter Cullen. By any chance related (other than last name) to the late Bill Cullen of TV game show fame? Thanx.

[TheDo78t]

Optimus would WHIP Voltron

[DKDC316]

Always the best then that new one it suck.

[GRhoen1]

When optimus says he's mighty .

HE'S MIGHTY!!

[mgs4GOTPoldsnake]

lol optimus prime intro

[RobertsDigital]

After voltron was power rangers then today we have transformers...

[chiefBarbose]

@RobertsDigital we've always had transformers..i grew up with transfomer sheets on me bed as a we boy. my alltime favorite will always be Soundwave, had the coolest pets and voice

[chiefBarbose]

@RobertsDigital we've always had transformers..i grew up with transfomer sheets on me bed as a we boy. my alltime favorite will always be Soundwave, had the coolest pets and voice

[guncannon109]

OPTIMUS!!!!!!!!!!!

[kenrock2]

ITS OPTIMUS PRIME!!! Voice over...

[demrobinson9]

RoBreast prepare to be pimp smack by my blazing sword!

[sha370z]

i have the toy from the 80s

[Cococrash11]

It looks great.

[BmcC102]

Form feet and legs!

Form arms and torso!

And I'll form... the head!

I love how rhythmically he said it every time!

[SmooveLefty]

this cartoon was soooooo dope!

[graph180]

I love that over the top narration "LOVED BY GOOD, FEARED BY EVIL!"

[rainbow1892]

this is were they got Power rangers from this is a classic!

[RX78]

if you have never seen Golion, search "uncensored voltron".

[psykosel]

optimus prime was such a great leader, he thought it fitting to be the announcer of VOLTRON

[L0YD86]

I hope they never make movie ut off this,after what they did with transformers no thanks.

[alasdairgillis]

@StressedRobloxian ah yes but Power Rangers is a rip off of Voltron, nothing new under the sun

[RX78]

@alasdairgillis

the 1970s was the golden age of robot anime. if you want to see ancestors of voltron / transformers, search "robot anime history" or "robot anime op collection".

[MORPHINGTOON]

they should do a remake like they did with the thundercats but pleaaase not in cgi crap!

[graph180]

@MORPHINGTOON

Already exists. Look for "Voltron Force".

[TheDo78t]

I love that Optimus Primes voice is the intro

[shadowg3]

When I was like 5 I watched this shows in the Saturdays , I wasn't even aware this shows were anime hahaha

[TheEcat777]

Thumbs up if you had the real Voltron toy growing up that was like 2 feet tall, all metal w/ sharp edge corners and weighed a ton. not like the pussy ass toys they have on the market today.

[da40flyer1]

@TheEcat777 Still have mine! Safely tucked away in storage and still has all it's parts!

[StoneSkinGilgamesh]

(I'll get it right one of these times...Dammit, I'm talking to my boss after today about rearranging my schedule >.<)

Oh, I was talking about how Transformers didn't really have anyone that would combine like this (Okay, I think they had Devastator, and maybe one Autobot equivalent, but that's it). Also, the 'Bots and 'Cons both were fully automatonic (means they didn't need pilots like Voltron or the Megazord). Sorry about the confusion.

[alasdairgillis]

@StoneSkinGilgamesh actually there were several, besides Devastator - the Stunticons combined to form Menasaur, the Aerial bots combined to form Superion, the Combaticons formed Bruticus, the Terrorcons formed Abominus, they even had the Protectobots that formed Defensor, and that's only G1, it got ridiculous there's dozens now.

[StoneSkinGilgamesh]

@alasdairgillis O__O...I can't believe I forgot all about those guys! Well, I think I can blame that on how many times I had fallen on my head growing up. (never did quite learn that hanging from a tree branch and trying to swing like I had seen monkeys do was a bad idea >_>)

[GamiCross]

My left ear enjoyed this.

[etiscool1]

That's Optimus Prime's voice, and this was before Transformers?

[Scarletbull]

Transformers + Mazinger + Voltron = Awesome 80's cartoons! The list is too long!

[RX78]

@Scarletbull

1972 - Mazinger Z

1985 - Tranzor Z (US version of Mazinger Z)

[BrainCreep]

I only enjoyed the first story arc with the finding of Voltrons parts. After that it became just a grind. How many f-ing giant space monsters were there? And with that damn ray they used to make them so huge, why didn't they just shrink Voltron and just squash it?

[RealityDefenseLeague]

Defender of the Universe..not planet..not solar system, no folks not even galaxy...defender of the UNIVERSE. Now that's responsibility.

[pcrepair76]

Optimus had a part time job Introducing other bad ass robots

[StoneSkinGilgamesh]

@StressedRobloxian If you want to get technical, it's more like Power Rangers as a cartoon. Transformers never really did that, they were already robots.

RX78 put it best, though, and seeing as I need to get to work again (Early lunch, good and bad if you had to get up at 5:30), I'm just going to leave it at what (s)he said.

[scaii100]

hollywood's doing a voltron movie.....Another cartoon from my childhood (im 17) that has become a victim of hollywoods profit

dragonballz, street fighter, avatar the last airbender, scooby doo 1 & 2, the flintstones and so fourth etc.

has any one of these franchises recovered from any of these live shit movies ( my opinion)

[AFMountaineer2000]

Could Voltron have been more badass and the answer is no. I only hope that the live action movie thats been recently announced is capable of living up to the show.

[ermonski]

form feet and legs, form arms and body and I'll form the head!!!

DEVASTATOR! DEFENDER OF THE DECEPTICONS!

[whiskey7pete]

These guys would've destroyed those p*ssy power rangers

[DragoneyesLC]

This was the start of my love for anime!! I still love this intro even though I'm 21 now. =)

[MultiAlgojo]

weii..dulu brahi ngat crite ni..puko 8 ari jumaat..

[docdisco81]

This were cartoons! Not that shit they broadcast today!

[rahnshen]

OMG IS THE NARRATOR OPTIMUS O_O

[ronjr77]

@rahnshen yep that the voice of optimus from the cartoons and movies

[MKnightslasher123]

voltron vs optimus prime vs gundam's

[SuperCartiel]

please do not flag this as spam:

GET VOLTRON FROM AMAZON.COM!!!

[Huussi6]

This is still giving me hell of a lot of goosebumps

[ThePlaidman1985]

Has anyone every seen the show that they used for this? I believe it's called Beast King Go Lion. Man it is really different from this show.

[undeadskullz4]

I used 2 watch this on Sunday morning before I went 2 church and my brains were exploding in another galaxy during mass

[spazke]

Voltron was needed once more !!!!!!! EPIC

[tonkaaaaa]

@pfrias & @ WHOOSHY100 : Thanks for the response guys. I wasn't 100% sure if what I remembered from the first episode happend.

[WHOOSHY100]

@tonkaaaa

Yes she did... Good memory dude!

[kendallgirl23]

why do i feel like that the people who created the oringal power rangers copy Voltron

[RX78]

@kendallgirl23 for your information.

[Emporerofkortoph]

@RX78 Ehhhh, its really more Super Robo than Super Sentai...

[hellsphinxjr]

@RX78 uncensored voltron?

[BleachOD]

@hellsphinxjr Go-Lion. This is actually a dark and bloody series. Characters that "went away" actually died and lothar kills a lot of people. Remember Nanny? Lothar shot her ass and killed her. I have the original series. If you want let me know

[BleachOD]

@RX78 it's easier if you search Go-Lion that's original name. I wonder if I should upload --I have the original uncensored Japanese version --if anyone ones. Holla at me

[RX78]

@BleachOD

the official trailer of Golion is not availble outside US.

[tmungaz]

Remember when..? They still do! The XMen, Green Lantern, Spidey, Fanta 4, just have it on loan. Voltron is needed now more than ever, get onto that movie screen!!

[mario0218]

i may have not been born in the 80's i was born in 94, but i still remember watching this show, i dont even know how but i remember lmao XD, and i grew up with transformers animated and stuff like that so it wasnt all that bad.

[tonkaaaaa]

AHAAAAAAA! MY EARS! :-)

Why would I watch some NickToons remake, when the original is 100 times better?

Can someone confirm this question. (In the original Voltron did the Princess replace the dude wearing the black suit because he got killed in the first episode?)

[pfrias]

@tonkaaaaa - Sven got seriously injured. And when he recovered he joined Allura's cousin Romelle on Planet Pollux. In the Japanese version he was killed according to the Wiki.

[BLUamnEsiac]

Ah, the goodness was my childhood. For anyone that doesn't already know, Voltron pioneered stereo audio in US television broadcasts.

[spartankrypto]

Voltron is soo bad ass that even his feet scares evil >.<

[J90lude]

@spartankrypto hahaha

[sonicrocks57]

back when most cartoons didn't suck.

[jrc6k2]

power rangers aint got sh it on Voltron

[Sagemaster00]

OW IT HURTS MY LEFT EAR!!!

[gc3k]

STARRING OPTIMUS PRIME

[GGGHALOUNIT]

The Ro-Beasts must have clicked the Dis-like Button??? Damn Ro-Beasts!!! : D

[ColoqueNombreAqui]

Voltron vs Megatron ¿ Who is gonna be the winner? XD

[Dreaklock]

@ColoqueNombreAqui Voltron steps on Megatron?

[Dreaklock]

Volton vs Godzilla would be epic!

[DJGENEX71]

I really liked Voltron, now they are re-making it...cool to hear Optimus Prime do the intro! lol

[Eurika407]

Oh my God - seeing this intro got me teared up - ONE OF THE BEST CARTOON EVER!!!

[km01]

I told so you... there were five guys first!

[cjsdharma]

they should NEVER make this into a movie, i think they'd try to compare it to transformers, which it is NOT, although transformers was good, voltron is in a class all by itself

[lotsaspagehtti]

Optimus prime is the narrator!

[Gilvader210]

Still one of the best goddamn intros ever! And who tha' Fuck put thumbs down for this?!?

[Gilvader210]

Still one of the best goddamn intros ever!

[josefblack]

Voltron was narrated by Optimus Prime?

[chattjedi]

To me one of the top 5 cartons of the 1980s.

[DetMcNichols]

I remember all of this and remembered how I wanted to build an exo armor like this..........

[FirebyrdXX]

This was my first anime EVER! At like 6 years old 19 years ago lol

[dickmjavil]

Earth is good?

[VicmelEpres]

see this is the original voltron id ont like the other one so many parts required and is that peter cullen voiceing the intro

[Akutsuki1985]

does anyone realise that the narrator is Optimus Prime?

[director2k1]

Good old days of my childhood.

[meg5493]

always loved the green one :3

[MrRider117]

[ArcticMan94]

IT TASTES LIKE MY CHILDHOOD

[416Danny]

AWESOME!!



[pepe6666]

man this gives me endorphins every time

[chrno269]

I think I remember this....did the guys who control Voltron have to find each tiger which were hidden in certain places?

[zerutuby]

now form... the head.

[projectstarlancer]

Voltron as introduced by Optimus Prime!!! Old school.

[redbemani]

@projectstarlancer Greatness works together! : D

[urblegend79]

@projectstarlancer Gotta love it!
