Welcome to my tribute section for Voltron- Defender of the Universe! Hopefully you were lucky enough to experience this emmy award winning cartoon during the 1980's. If not then let me tell you somethin' kid, you missed one hell of a cartoon. This was my favorite childhood cartoon. It's so cool and I am very happy that I got to buy a reissue of Voltron in my local toystore (thanx Trendmasters!). Interested in seeing the REAL Voltron (not the new 3D computer animation version)? The Cartoon Network shows old school Voltron weekday afternoons during it's Toonami show. I am not going to write the time down here because they seem to change it every season; so check your TV listings. If you don't know what the show is about than read these next few paragraphs. If you know what's up with Voltron read this stuff anyway and if I wrote something that isn't actually true about the show, please send me an e-mail and let me know! ENJOY! Background Five Space Explorers land on Planet Arus desperately searching for help against the evil King Zarkon. They crashed on Arus because they had heard of the legend of Voltron, and they knew Voltron was the only way to defeat Zarkon and his army of Robeasts, evil robots that were quite large and quite destructive. Led by Keith, the Space Explorers were Keith, Lance, Pidge, Sven, and Hunk. They crash land on Arus after their ships were damaged in a fight with one of Zarkon's armies. They cross the barren landscape of Arus searching for help, still being hunted by Zarkon's army. They find a destroyed castle and hope that maybe there is someone there than can help in their search for Voltron. In the castle they find Princess Allura and her assistant Coran. They have the information the explorers were looking for. Princess Allura is the ruler of Arus after her father King Alfor died. Unfortunately for the explorers, when King Alfor died some of the secrets of Voltron went with him. After a long and desperate search (which I might add lasts about 3 episodes!) the space explorers find all 5 keys to the five robot lions that form Voltron. The Space Explorers began their new calling, they were now the Voltron Force! I left out many inportant aspects of the story. I did that so you would hopefully watch the cartoon and find out all the details. What I wrote is a summary. GO WATCH THE CARTOON! Trust me, it rocks! Some info on our heroes...

Some info on our heroes...
Keith- Leader and pilot of the Black Lion Keith is the leader, and because he is the leader he is always in a serious mood. The other members of the Voltron Force joke around and pick on each other, but nobody ever pokes fun at Keith, because he's the man. I am sure there are many Voltron fans out there that would disagree with me on this, but to me it is pretty obvious that Keith falls head over heals in love with the Princess. Only when he is alone with the Princess does Keith turn from the cool and confidant leader into a nervous and shy person. It is also pretty obvious that the Princess falls in love with him too. He is definatly her pick of the crew. Overall Keith is very sure of himself and is the natural leader of the Voltron Force. He is the pilot of the Black Lion which is the torso and head of Voltron. His lion is the most important of the five. The Black Lion's secret hiding spot on Planet Arus is the monument statue in front of the castle. Lance- Pilot of the Red Lion Unlike Keith, Lance is always joking around. Lance is the punchline guy of the Voltron Force. If the dialogue of the other characters creates a joke, it's almost a sure thing that Lance will finish it off. Lance is an important part of the force in that he is the sarcastic cynic the show needs. Lance is the pilot of the Red Lion which is the right arm of Voltron. The Red Lion is typically the lion that holds the Blazing Sword when Voltron is in battle. The Red Lion's secret hiding spot on Planet Arus is at the bottom of a volcano. Pidge- Pilot of the Green Lion Pidge is the little guy. Pidge is the member of the force that gets picked on the most. Pidge is also considered to be one of the smart ones on the show. Sometimes Pidge is the one who comes up with the plan. Although Pidge gets picked on a lot, when the crew is in a fight Hunk always helps him out. Pidge is the pilot of the Green Lion which is the left arm of Voltron. The Green Lion's secret hiding spot on Planet Arus is deep in the forest in a cave like spot. Sven- 1st Pilot / Princess Allura- 2nd Pilot of the Blue Lion Sven was the first pilot of the Blue Lion. He looked kind of like Lance, but he had a different voice. Sven thought up ideas for the crew to get out of trouble sometimes. What exactly happened to Sven is of much debate to Voltron Fans. Some people believe that he was killed, others say he was injured to the point where he couldn't pilot the Blue Lion anymore. Some say that he just disappeared with no explanation. My childhood memory makes me believe that he was killed, but he may have just disappeared. I don't think he was injured because if he was injured, how come we never saw him again? If someone knows what actually happened to Sven, please let me know. Princess Allura wanted to be a part of all the action. When Sven "disappeared", the force needed a new pilot for the Blue Lion. Much against Coran's and Keith's wishes, Princess Allura used her royal powers to become the new pilot of the Blue Lion. In case you are wondering why the princess joining the force was against Keith's wishes, it's because he was in love with her and didn't want her to get hurt in battle. The Princess wanted to be a part of the legacy her father created. She also thought that if she was a member of the Voltron Force, that would bring honor to her father. Which one do you think was cooler, Sven or the Princess? I choose the Princess, but there are entire webpages devoted to Sven if you disagree with me! The Blue Lion is the right leg of Voltron. The Blue Lion's secret hiding spot on Planet Arus is at the bottom of a lake. Hunk- Pilot of the Yellow Lion Hunk is the big athletic guy. He is not the brightest of the crew, but he is the toughest. Hunk is also the one that likes to fight the most. Hunk looks forward to kicking some Robeast butt. Hunk likes to pick on Pidge constantly, but also fights for Pidge in tough sitations. He's like Pidge's protective older brother. Hunk is the pilot of the Yellow Lion. The Yellow lion is the left leg of Voltron. The Yellow Lion's secret hiding spot on Planet Arus is in the middle of the desert in a cave like spot.
