Angry Robot

Voltron

How great was this show? Was just discussing it with a friend.

“Voltron was originally released in Japan under the name GoLion. The figure line is based on the U.S. version of the Japanese cartoon series, where five pilots combine their lion vehicles to form a super robot.”

Anything involving “lion vehicles” alone would make a great series.

Of course, the same is true for “form a super robot.”

Needless to say, these twin, winning TV premises form like Voltron as one unbeatable super-premise.

Voltron will be a sacrament in some super-religion of the future.
