    OMG! I love this shirt. I love Voltron! It's the only toy series I got the entire collection for. And I only like the lions, not the cars. They served me well till I tried to make Voltron go through a brick wall. Guess who won that battle #vitruvianvoltron

    @I see the light. It burns!: I also had the lions Volton. I was by far my absolute favorite toy for a long time before I started getting really deep into LEGO. #vitruvianvoltron

    @Kaiser-Machead: Absolutely... the show always annoyed me a little, but I was enthralled with the toys themselves. A little part of me felt like they were a more erudite and mature version of the various combining Transformers. Not that I could express myself that eloquently when I was 11, but still... inside, I knew. #vitruvianvoltron

    @met2art: Well the build quality was certainly greater than the modern Transformers toys. There's one sitting in the window across from my office right now, and I so freaking want it, but it's awesome to see one again in person, albeit from far away. #vitruvianvoltron

    @Kaiser-Machead: The articulation and heft of those metal lions was incredible. Hours and hours of imagination-fueled battles against virtually every other toy I owned, and Voltron always won. When I played Voltron, the team never waited until being near total defeat before deciding to use the sword as a last resort... my team always pulled that baby out first and kicked some serious ass without delay. #vitruvianvoltron

    @ZLevee: Lion Voltron > Vehicle Voltron, but technically, they're not even related. In Japan, they're two totally different series.
    There was a plan to have a third Voltron here too, before the Vehicle one killed the franchise... I don't recall what it was though.

    @Brain.wav: You might be referring to "Gladiator Voltron". the 3 robots combining into 1 big robot Voltron. I had one of the toys. Apparently it was derived from soemthing called "Lightspeed ElectroGod Albegas"

    I can see Original Voltron being sponsored - especially that it was composed of 25 cars. Kind of like NASCAR Voltron.


    The idea of Lions Voltron being sponsored makes me want to garrote Midge with the string from one of Princess Alura's used tampons.

    Lion Voltron was first

    And there was a third one with three robots that combined we didnt see in the US
