    I always liked the 2 Voltron shows as a kid - Thundercats too. The recent Voltron re-hashes didn't impress me much. Don't know if I'll ever buy these though - Robotech and He-Man were my favorites along with Transformers. Probably in that order.

    I guess I'm just simple that way. You should see my wife roll her eyes at me. She's got it down to an art.

    Every Voltron fan knows there were 2 Voltrons - the Lions (more popular in North America) and the Vehicles (more popular in Asia apparently).
    The reason is most anime shows in the 80's were composed of a group of similar shows that aired previously in Japan. In the USA so many episdoes were required back then for networks to commit to airing them so the anime gurus got around that by overdubbing dialogue, modifying stories a bit, and basically putting 2 separate shows into one theme under the same name.
    So there was the Voltron Lion Force show, and the other one too...

    Having seen most of the two series again as an adult, the Vehicle Voltron was the more engaging of the two.

    There was a mini-series/movie where they both teamed up against the mutual bad guys later on....read more here:

    Thanks for the links Kex. Nice clips. Looks familiar, but still not coming back. It's always been the one with the lions that I can remember.

    I had Felix, and Jonny Quest was a wuss. But I loved Top Cat. He was cool. I met Yogi last week. What was the name of those Hanna Barbara heros? The one with the giant globs that could stretch into anything.

    Gotta run

    Worf goes into corner and falls on Baatleff thereby ending the eternal suffering caused by this ill intentioned thread....

    Easy big guy. I took many breaths inbetween. And I'll never make this mistake again.


    (It's a good thing I replaced his Baatleff with a fuzzy, stuffed copy)
