Lion Voltron or Voltron: Defender of the Universe
Lion Voltron - 5 robot lions coming together to form Voltron.
When people say Voltron: Defender of the Universe (DotU) it's usually referencing Lion Voltron, but it does apply to Vehicle Voltron, also. There's a movie, "Fleet of Doom" - this movie is where both VV and LV come together to defeat those bad guys... ;)
This is certainly my favorite version of Voltron, and I know quite a bit about the entire series. I have all the DVDs of both Voltron and its original version (GoLion) - and have watched them more than once. ;) I don't want to give away too much of the series, so I'll leave it to you to check it out yourself. :)
Aired: in Japan 1981; in USA 1984
Number of Seasons: 2
Number of Episodes: GoLion - 52; Voltron - 72
The first 52 episodes of Voltron were made from the original GoLion; the second 20 episodes were commissioned by World Events Productions to air in the USA. Due to the levels of violence and the graphic nature of GoLion, it could not be aired as it was on American television in the 1980's. WEP used the footage from GoLion, cutting out the unusable content, and pieced together an entirely new series in Voltron. This included making the story and dialog up as they went because they had no English translation for the original Japanese version.
