When Voltron entered the trap, she subsequently split Arus defender into five. She used her formidable magical powers during an assault on Planet Arus to lure Voltron into a trap by altering her appearance into that of a beautiful 'space goddess'. Voltron was separated into five separate lion robots by Haggar, Zarkons witch.
However, the lion version was a bit easier to follow as there were not as many characters in that one as there were a total of fifteen characters driving those vehicles. They seemed to flip to much between the lion and vehicle cartoon to much so it got confusing. I saw bits and pieces of this series, just not enough to get into it like I did another Japan robot anime "Tranzor Z". This show would have three incarnations of the mighty robot, the Lion one which would be the most popular, the vehicle one which was not as popular, but was known, and the three humanoid ones that never saw a release in the United States though oddly enough their toy was. Join Keith, Lance, Hunk, Pidge and Princess Allura on 72 unforgettable adventures in the original Voltron: Defender of the Universe Lion Force.I liked the cartoon okay, loved the toy that was released along with it as I always like the toys that would join together to form one big robot that was super powerful.
"Hundred Beast King GoLion" was a one and done in Japan. Over there, or"Hyaku Juuoo Goraion" a.k.a. Version being The Lion Force of Voltron the Defender of the Universe.Here's the thing, Voltron: Defender of the Universe has two seasons but only one of those was shown in Japan. The one thing that sucked about the toys was that they never really made any cool bad guys for you to buy to fight with your voltron toys, I mean the ones they made for the lion one were tiny in comparison to the robot when fully formed.The Voltron Lion Force (aka Voltron III and Voltron of the Far Universe) is the incarnation of Voltron composed of five mighty robot lions.Piloted by a team of intrepid space explorers and a princess, the Voltron Lion Force defends the planet of Arus against the hungry ambitions of King Zarkon's kingdom on Planet Doom.I do not claim ownership of any version of Voltron or its based Anime known as.
The show itself is your typical monster of the week Sentai show. There was actually a third and toys were made for it but they never did the localization for it and it never showed up on TV. And when that was done they found another show, that was kinda like it and turned that into another Voltron. So much so that they commissioned the Japanese company that made it to make a second season. Then it was brought over to North America and it became a smash hit.
And the Chick in the Princess. The Brain / Small Guy in Pidge. You have the Big Guy in Hunk. You have the Lancer oddly named Lance who's the hothead. You have the Leader, Keith who's brave and stalwart.
So in this it's a lot like Battle of the Planets VS Gatchaman. Whereas in the original he straight up dies. For example one of the original members, Sven, was defeated and had to go recuperate on some other planet. A lot of cuts and edits were made and in some cases episodes were chopped up and reassembled to try to make a coherent whole. They fight, can't get a clear advantage and must form the Blazing Sword which ultimately saves the day. The baddies send a giant RoBeast to cause havok and destruction.Then they form Voltron and we can all remember the sequence as it's burned into our collective memory.
And the new version which seems to be doing much better but it lacks a lot of the magic that the original had.Voltron: Defender of the Universe is the 1984-1985 half-hour animated series produced by World Events Productions(aka WEP) that introduced Voltron to the world. There were new characters introduced to this but I never really got into it. Then there was another version where the original Voltron Force had been retired and some of the members were even in hiding due to reasons. There was the terrible CGI abomination. They have since tried to reboot the show three times to my knowledge with varying degrees of success. It's not great story telling but it was fun for the time.
This version takes you there when watching it, makes you feel like you are with the people as they fight for honor!! If you haven't seen the original, PLEASE see it before you do the "reboot/remake"When I think of all the great robot cartoons, I always come back to the five lions that form the great robot VOLTRON'. 280mm Material: ABS, PVC.Don't listen to the reviews on here from the past two years because they have really only watched Netflix's butcher up reboot!! This is the best version of Voltron, (unless you can get the Japanese version that's unedited) that there is!! It's got everything a great show should have and then some!! It leaves out a lot of "normal" everyday dealings as much as possible!! It doesn't sit on having love interest, it just gets down to what the show is about!! It also is not a PC show & that makes it go right!! They got a voice cast that goes with the characters they are voicing!! Like the "reboot" has a female voice the kid, a different cultured person voicing the white princess, & a Asian person voicing Kieth, (that reminds you of getting a scam call from a heavy accented guy from India saying his name is Grant).

The Black Lion by lightning, the Red Lion by magma, the Green Lion by cyclone, the Blue Lion by water, and the Yellow Lion by the sands of the desert. Each one was powered by an element of planet Arus. Instead she split him into 5 parts, each a large robotic lion. Voltron, a mighty robot who defended peaceful planets and justice in the galaxy seemed invincible until an evil witch, Haggar, tried to destroy him. ∟orm feet and legs, form arms and body, and I will form the head!' Once this happens one of the great cartoons of the 80's is in full flight. I have never forgotten the transformation that takes place by the lions for them to be Voltron.
The many storylines that were thought up for Voltron were really good. Now sent by Galaxy Garrison after another terrible battle, five space explorers flee from planet Doom to find the secret to restoring the super-robot known as Voltron. Arus, not being protected by Voltron, is consequently defeated by the forces of the evil Zarkon.
Other remarkable pictures from this cartoon include the Castle of Lions, Planet doom, and the many ro-beasts that Zarkon has Haggar release on Voltron.The story has some interesting characters. Voltron is such an impressive looking robot when he is formed, as are the individual robot lions. This cartoon also has fine graphics and pictures. With something like 50 or more episodes being made, they really did have some inventive ideas to which they portrayed. There also the great bravery that the Voltron force has, which is second to none.
Voltron has many fine voice-overs from people such as Peter Cullen, Neil Ross, Jack Angel, Michael Bell, B.J. His only desire is to rule the universe, with his adversary's including Witch Haggar, Zarkon's own son Prince Lotor, commander Yurak, and his evil brigade of fighters and ro-beasts. King Zarkon is an evil man, treating people with contempt and has no conscience while he is doing it. The baddies have some weird and wonderful people. They have been through so much with Planet Arus. When they discover the castle of lions, we also get to meet two fascinating characters, that being Princess Allura and her trusted advisor, Coran.
You have shows such as the mighty morphine power rangers' that was a series I did not like. There have been many spin-offs to try and top Voltron. Their voices have also been used on other cartoons such as the transformers and other Voltron series, with some being used on some movies as well.
Innocent days spent in front the TV, barracking for Voltron to defeat the evil forces of King Zarkon. This cartoon brings back so many memories from so long ago. Sure it might have some of the same people voicing the same characters, but the show itself does not have the same nostalgia' which accompanies Voltron, defender of the universe'.

My favorite Voltron characters in this show are:Keith,Allura,and Sven. Favorite Characters in the series. And before watching the final collector's tin,I re watched the others again all the way through. I really enjoyed watching it all over again when I bought the collector's tins,with the DVD'S.
I also want to dedicate this show in memory of Lennie Weinrib,(the voice of Hunk,and Prince Lotor),because he was a great man for doing this show,and others. I gotta say that the voice actors(Peter Cullen,Jack Angel,Neil Ross,Michael Bell,and others),have done a good job doing this show,and their work was amazing. He is the coolest,and his Blazing Sword is awesome.
