Voltron: Defender of the Universe

[TaxiHack39]

A New Horrible Menace threatened The Galaxy.......... Justin Bieber?

[ugmong]

1 of my favorite cartoons in the 80's

[bokixxx]

Yeah, I watched this when I was a kid...

Can anybody, please, tell me what was the name of the 80's or early 90's Japanese anime series with the kid that trows like a little David's star or something, and then some robot appears? Been trying to remember for a long time, but I can't. :(

[JoniZhivago]

@bokixxx "Slobodni Kralj"...? ;)

[stankovicivan]

@bokixxx Granzort

[SuperZalex]

Yeah! The first power ranger series i have seen!

[EnigmaEtDeus]

Damn, peter Cullen has a great voice (The narrator).

Hes done a ton of other voices/voice overs, most notably OPTIMUS PRIME.

[PoweredButchZ]

Voltron Defender of the Universe/Solar System/Galaxy/You Know.. Like... Space And Shit

[Barricade]

You know what would be badass? Optimus Prime meeting the Voltron team. The universe would implode from the sheer amount of awesome present in that location.

[seriousman006]

@Barricade reality itself would probably rip itself apart just from hearing tht idea

[andoc]

I liked vehicle Voltron better than Lion Voltron. I thought it kicked far more ass. That was just me thogh, every other kid loved Lion Voltron instead.

[mireaux7]

gotta love that kickass metallic sound effect when voltron puts his fists together to create his sword.

[venigmatic23]

The vehicle Voltron was called Dairugger XV if I'm not mistaken. I think that one was more versatile.

[taiko78]

Together with the `good` planets of the Universe.

[poggless]

Who's the narrator? Sounds like Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime)

[ChicoEdge]

I was thinking the same thing.

[ChicoEdge]

Yep, just looked it up. It was indeed Peter Cullen.

[weznilez]

man voltron was the sh1t back in the day...this was before all that CGI crap

damn i almost forgot this one. thanx...

[illpoppa]

actually voltron and power rangers are g force rip offs but i loved voltron also

[Frenchy1992]

This is a pretty good show..but thinking about it...it seems like a Power Rangers Prototype imo

[RX78]

Re : it seems like a Power Rangers prototype imo

super sentai, the original version of power rangers started in 1975. golion, the original version of voltron was aired in 1981. and both were made by the same japanese movie company called toei. toei also made dragon ball, sailor moon, yu-gi-oh, digimon.

in case you don't know the original version of power rangers, look at my favorites ( SUNAO )

in caes you don't know the original version of voltron, search " uncensored voltron "

[Frenchy1992]

ahh so power rangers(super sentai) are a prototype for voltron...i knew it was close

[PrimalWolf2006]

Optimus Prime !?!, don't you mean Peter Cullen, one of the greatest V.A's there is

[PrimalWolf2006]

Actually n9thnahledg i think blavo means voltron, there was a non-lion version too.

[koss911]

Nice, the original opening before the Princess replaced Sven as the Blue Lion's pilot.  I always liked Sven better.

[spankitbaby]

thanks

[hummtide]

VOLTRON BITCHES!!!!

[nyc14gauge]

How come Optimus Prime is narrating?

[kobun101]

THANK YOU!  I was wondering why that voice sounded familiar. Come to think of it, I think he also narrated the GI Joe theme too!

[Emphinix]

Stealth Voltron is so much better than the Power Rangers

[n9thnahledg]

Voltron's the original, the best. You're talking about GoBots, blavo.

[lekuzo]

I think blavo was talking about Dairugger XV-Voltron they were cars that transformed into a robot he wasn't refering to GoBots.

[blavo]

i looooved this cartoon. i didn't like the other voltron made up of the zillion little cars, tho.  i love the music!

[jewelledtiger]

This has got to be one of the best ideas ever! The music, the animation, everything! Thanks!

[boxoff]

WOW lame!

[Blakdawn]

FACT: power rangers ARE a Voltron RipOff!, One of The GREATEST Franchises from the Golden Era(the 80's) PERIOD!!

[kobun101]

Well, the first season MegaZord was anyway. :P

[digitallysick]

this was my fav!

[kevinhardy]

old school anime bitches

[kobura]

yeh that was shit indeed

the girl joined later when the black lion's guy died or something like that

[chuckles1972]

it was the blue lion she was the princess

[ComputerSTD]

Holy shit its Voltron this show was the shit

[chickothrottle]

FINALLY

[walasteyk]

I really like this show...Thanks for sharing =)

[Dopekid91389]

Fuck That Pussy Power Rangers Is Classic U Cant Compare None Aint Nothing to choose over from theyre both good

[Akuma2000]

The Megazord is a Voltron-wannabe and the Power Rangers would get their ass stomped by the Voltron force, my opinion though in case I offend any Power Ranger lovers out there, guys(or girls) it's just my opinion okay.

[Blakdawn]

FUCK Da Power Rangers!!! Voltron was the first and GREATEST!!! - know your History!!

[danae928]

Hey... am I nuts, or was there a girl in the team?

[FungleBum]

She's a princess who joins later isn't she? I havn't seen it for over ten years, I've got some story books and tapes somewhere too lol

[idlesloveslave]

voltron!!!!! i loved this show when i was a kid!!! but i only watched the ones with the lions. i hated the ones with the cars :p

[beejay1980]

Fuck Yeah......Fuck that Stupid PowerRangers BS!!!!

[janelanesbitch04]
