First Look At Netflix's New VOLTRON

You remember Voltron, right? Just in case you're not quite as ancient as I am, it was a cartoon about a bunch of astronauts flying around in color-coded space-lions, who then combined to form one giant robot named Voltron. And yes, it was just as awesome as it sounds.

Now Netflix have teamed up with Dreamworks Animation for a brand new animated series titled Voltron: Legendary Defender, and we have your first glimpse below.


The central giant robot of "Voltron: Legendary Defender"

Legendary Defender centers on five Earth teenagers — Keith, Lance, Hunk, Pidge and Shiro — who are thrown into the middle of an intergalactic battle and become the last line of defense for Arus and other planets against an evil alien force led by King Zarkon.

The first 13 22-minute episodes of Voltron: Legendary Defender will drop later this year, though fans will get a taste of footage Friday at WonderCon in Los Angeles.

@blackandyellow - Of course not, that'd be ridiculous.

No Sven, no watch.

@KingEmperor - Shiro IS Sven, though. In the original, they changed the Japanese character to Sven when mashed up and released in the States. They kept the personality but just changed the name and nationality. It's now back to Shiro, the OG.

I dont get how people could love Voltron but hate Power Rangers. Just like how people could love Marvel but hate DC and vice versa.

I would be more hype if we got something like this,







A live action movie.

DCeddie - the best theme song would be from The Galaxy Rangers unless you're talking symphonic then its Robotech:)

God, I used to love this show so much. My mate had the whole set of lion toys, I was so jealous. The vehicle Voltron that came first was even better though. (Yes, I am THAT old.)

Eat shit Power Rangers.
