Check Out the New Voltron

When I was little, my older brother and I used to fantasize about finding a secret compartment in our home that led to an ancient vault holding the Voltron lions, where we and three friends would learn to fly them and become the Voltron Force. It was silly, but exactly the kind of thing that all boys dream about. Plus, it had an undefinable quality about it that exuded cool. Nicktoons is rebooting the character for a new generation starting June 16th, and here’s a first look at it. Personally, I’m surprised to see very Earth-like cities, streets, and inhabitants in Voltron’s world. Nick says that this new Voltron Force Read more »

New Voltron Cats Are Ready to Kick Some Butt

Those of you who were kids (or semi-kids, if there is such a thing) in the 80s will know all about Voltron. Robin gave us a taste of Voltron recently and wrote about Voltron Force on Nicktoons and the game. If you were one of those who got all excited about that news, here is some eye candy that will make your day. To be honest, I was not that big of a Voltron fan. For one thing, our parents didn’t believe in the crap that was shown on TV. Whatever TV I got was from my cousins, who watched Voltes V instead of Voltron. (Now Voltes V is a Read more »

Are You Ready to Form Voltron?

When I was a kid, my brother and I used to watch Voltron: Defender of the Universe every day. There was something that oozed cool about it. Maybe it was because it had a bit of anime-inspired sophistication to it; it didn’t talk down to kids the way other cartoons did. Or it could have been those big honkin’ lion robots. Yeah, it was probably the robots. In conjunction with the upcoming Voltron revival, Voltron Force, which will be airing on Nicktoons in 2012, THQ has secured the rights to create video games based on the property. Despite the enduring popularity of the brand, only one video game has ever Read more »

Voltron movie a go

Another blast from the past is going to be made into a movie. The hit 80′s cartoon series Voltron is going to get live action treatment in Hollywood. The new movie will receive a moderate budget and will reportedly use more “cost-efficient” technology similar to the ones used in making 300 in order to get more savings. Max Makowski has been attached as the director of the Voltron movie. For those who don’t remember it, Voltron was an anime series that tells the story of five survivors of an alien attack who pilots five lion-shaped robots that join together to form a big sword wielding robot.
