Me, classic animation like this, can’t be compared to cg animation of today’s anime, and not to mention those iconic mechanical sound effects is priceless.
Think about this, starting late, next year, Saturday morning cartoons will begin to make a gradual return to broadcast TV, as CBS has announced it'll compete with MeTV's SatAM classic cartoon block as it's ending its broadcast agreement with Litton Entertainment and this news can have a domino effect- both ABC and NBC will eventually follow suit. Reforming the CTA of 1990 will be the very best way to ensure this re-transitioning. That being said, since Universal owns Voltron, NBC execs will look at this special and commission an hour-long Voltron reboot with the first hour with the Lion force and the second with the Vehicle unit. The next era of Saturday morning cartoons is dawning on broadcast television- stay tuned. Additional info will follow over time!!!
When they both team up ..I always get the chills...lol.. just like when I first watched this back when I was a kid. I'm 46 years old and I'm still loving this👍🏻💯 same with he man thunder cats gi Joe all the 80s cartoons. Great time to be a kid.
same sentiment here. we both have the same age..i think we'd watch this @ same time, long time ago because this was only aired one time when were both young..maybe were 12 years old at that time.
I’m 56 and nothing more enjoyable than watching this classic anime with your grandkids, and telling them this how anime in those days are made, I am still after all an Otaku fan.
I remember every morning before school, I'd watch Saber Rider and then Voltron. I used to be disappointed when it was vehicle Voltron episodes. But, when this movie came out, I was blown away. Being a kid in the 80s was the BEST.
I never seen 2 voltrons in one cartoon scene before. I must've missed it when i was a kid. But looking at this, i jizzed when voltron vehicle formed his blazing sword and then followed by voltron lions sword, it's like double whammy that I never thought would happen 😂 i turned into 8 year old me again haha.
I’ve always loved how Lion Voltrons blazing sword formed- but God it’s still sooooo badass how Vehicle Voltrons blazing sword forms as well! 2 spinning laser blades come together and combine to form the blade- just awesome! 🤘🏼
Remember the 2 teams were mentioned in both shows before like during the episode where the Lion Voltron attacked Planet Doom and after they won the team was relaxing in a field of flowers and Pidge mentioned he was going to write to his brother and then we see the Explorer and her fleet and in that large room where we see the Vehicle Voltron team talking about letters they got and Jeff joking about getting a message from someone on the top deck and Chip told them he got a letter from Pidge saying how things were going on Arus and if they might get back together or Galaxy Garrison sending them to another trouble spot and in an episode from the Vehicle Voltron series the team was talking about letters and Chip was expecting a letter from Pidge but it never came and he nearly got in trouble with the Air team when he wasn't present to launch and Lisa reminded Jeff that Chip and Pidge weren't just brothers they were twins and at the end of that episode Pidge's letter finally arrived and Chip was reading it where Pidge mentioned what they were doing on Arus from Pidge working with the Space Mice to their positions on the Voltron force with Pidge saying 'I pilot the Green Lion and form Voltron's left arm which part are you on your Voltron you should be the head you were always the brains' that part still makes me laugh and remember at the beginning of this as the Castle of Lions in Spaceship mode was heading out and they were talking and they showed flashbacks of both teams at the space academy with Chip and Pidge talking about their height where Chip was standing on his tip toes to Lance and Wallo being at the pool and yanking Cliff right in to Hunk and Rocky practicing their karate to Allura imaging things with herself and the girls and showing an image of Ginger with a crown of flowers on her head to Keith and Jeff having a shooting match that neither one of them won because they were both crack shots.
Man when I first saw this and seeing Lotor pilot the Super Robeast it reminded me a lot of the episode 'The Sincerest Form of Flattery' where Lotor challenged Zarkon to a duel for control of Planet Doom and he ended up losing and even stated he wanted revenge on the Lion Voltron even stating he would become a Robeast to do it and that was when Haggar revealed the Giant Robot she built to exploit weaknesses in Voltron and Zarkon stated that she wanted Lotor at it's controls and ir's funny that ths episode we finally get to see that Lotor piloting a Robeast that was built to do just like the 2 Voltrons 4 Robeasts combining into one man that was something.
I have a job interview in about an hour. I got on to youtube to specifically watch this. It's freakin voltron! The most powerful robot (or in this case, robots) ever. His freakin' power is epic and the bravery of the voltron force (both lion and vehicle voltron) is just what I needed.
The one part that still makes me laugh after all these years was the part when those Galaxy Garrison soldiers took on the Robots of Doom and were shooting them and as the robots were hit the funny sounds being made as they exploded was freaking hilarious.
PIDGE (Lion Voltron) and CHIP (Vehicle Voltron); should have gave each other a hug!! Afetr all (According to the Voltron story line); they are brothers!!!
This was on tv Sunday afternoon and I sat and watched this entire thing . I remember how I felt in my heart when both voltrons came together and fought the end boss.
Ever since I was young, when 5:34 played I always got hyped up to the equivalent of "shit's gonna get real" lol. The way the Vehicle team just goes flying out ready to kick ass, gets the energy going all the time. Still does. Air Team all the way!
5:39 - "Vehicle Teams - Launch!" ..... - 'Aye-aye Optimus! Let's ROLL OUT!!' lol I love how several of the same voice actors were used for a variety of the great 80's cartoons like GI Joe, Transformers and Voltron!! It was always amazing to hear Cobra Commander whenever Starscream would talk back to Megatron on Transformers!!
I grew up watching both Voltron shows too and when this came out I was surprised that they had 4 Robeasts that could do the same thing as the Lion and Vehicle Voltrons could combine into one giant robot now that was a shocker and I'm even surprised Haggar didn't think of doing that against the Lion Force Team I mean she had the Lion Voltron' blueprints and with all the giant robots she built to fight the Lion Voltron she didn't think of creating Robeasts that could combine.
Man even though this was a movie it sure would have been awesome if they did an episode of both the Lion Force Voltron and the Vehicle Force Voltron teaming up like if the forces of the Drule Empire that didn't want peace like they showed in the last episode of the Vehicle series were to go to the Diamond Galaxy and were to join forces with Zarkon and lead an all out attack on Planet Arus pushing the Lion Force to their limits and they managed to send out a call for help and the fleet of the Explorer and the Vehicle Force were to arrive to help out now that would have been an awesome episode to see of the t.v. series.
But still no word on what happened to "Gladiator Voltron" Made up of 3 different robots. Last I heard due to the success of Lion Voltron and the lack of fanfare of Vehicle Voltron. The powers that be chose not to air the Voltron from the near universe. Shame. I would have liked to see it.
Dont get me wrong I grew up with Go Lion and it has a special place in my heart. But Vehicle Voltron totally saved Lion Voltron's beacon. I really home Dreamworks gives Vehicle Voltron a series like the Legendary Defender series.
Right let's do it! Active interlocks. Dynatherms connected. Infrocells up, Megathrusters are go. LET'S GO VOLTRON FORCE! Form feet and legs! Form arms and torsos! And autoform the head!
This was made especially for the North American Voltron audience/fans. In reality Go Lion (Lion Voltron) and Deirugger (Vehicle Voltron) are two completely, separate animated series. I've always enjoyed both shows and leaned towards Vehicle Voltron more because of the more realistic plots.
Sorry pal I hate to rain on your on your parade, but the combining giant robot of the Voltron as well many anime giant combiner robots predates all those classic sentai giant robots, likethe Mighty Morphine Power Rangers Zoards
both voltron's fighting side by side love the form up routines sold have loved for the explorer to be a bigger part with there voltron team but they where the lest favored and this is shown here then again they had a short power range when formed so that could also explain why ashort part but a favored memory all the same lets go voltron force.
The only reason Lotor lost to the Space Explorers and both Voltrons is because he was celebrating too early and thinking he already won for a super villain he was a complete idiot you should never celebrate a victory till your enemies are beaten first and don't gloat about it laughing like an idiot you should strike down your enemies first then celebrate.
What i like about our generation we always knew what they were doing they would call out the weapons and path they were doing generation x is the smartest
My favorite is Lion Voltron he looks cooler, he has wings and his Blazing Sword is far more badass. I also like the simplicity of just 5 lions to make up voltron. Vehicle Voltron is too complex with 15 separate vehicles and 15 pilots. I also never liked his cone shaped head, the way the cars on his feet looked or how his sword looked.

Who’s 40+ and still here reminiscing about Voltron in 2023? 🥺
The kids today don’t know what a real cartoon or quality anime really is!
Me, classic animation like this, can’t be compared to cg animation of today’s anime, and not to mention those iconic mechanical sound effects is priceless.
you know it got real when Optimus Prime shows up to a Voltron fight 😂
I am..
I Do
When the two Voltrons met. The moment everyone wanted to see.
Think about this, starting late, next year, Saturday morning cartoons will begin to make a gradual return to broadcast TV, as CBS has announced it'll compete with MeTV's SatAM classic cartoon block as it's ending its broadcast agreement with Litton Entertainment and this news can have a domino effect- both ABC and NBC will eventually follow suit.

@@michaelpowell5266 Maybe Albegas can finally become the 6-armed Voltron also.
I always saw the Voltron lion force as America and the Voltron Vehicle force as Great Britain. You like cousins.
The mash up we had to have!
They still had one more reserve team in the pocket.
When they both team up ..I always get the chills...lol.. just like when I first watched this back when I was a kid. I'm 46 years old and I'm still loving this👍🏻💯 same with he man thunder cats gi Joe all the 80s cartoons. Great time to be a kid.
I am 40 years old but I still get excited!!! GO VOLTRON!!!! This was equivalent to Avengers assemble during my time!
same sentiment here. we both have the same age..i think we'd watch this @ same time, long time ago because this was only aired one time when were both young..maybe were 12 years old at that time.
i'm 42 & yeah same
heheh im 43 this is my chilhood robot
I’m 56 and nothing more enjoyable than watching this classic anime with your grandkids, and telling them this how anime in those days are made, I am still after all an Otaku fan.
The Vehicle one is much nice in its form. heheheheh, i have the toy when i was a kid.
I remember every morning before school, I'd watch Saber Rider and then Voltron. I used to be disappointed when it was vehicle Voltron episodes. But, when this movie came out, I was blown away. Being a kid in the 80s was the BEST.
Two Voltrons fighter together, oh man I’m getting goosebumps from all the excitement. 😊
I never seen 2 voltrons in one cartoon scene before. I must've missed it when i was a kid. But looking at this, i jizzed when voltron vehicle formed his blazing sword and then followed by voltron lions sword, it's like double whammy that I never thought would happen 😂 i turned into 8 year old me again haha.
It’s always great to hear the great Peter Cullen
I always liked how the vehicle team didn't mess around when forming Voltron.
Peter Cullen: "Autobots...transform and... whoops! Vehicle teams, launch!" Lol
Both Voltrons together, I wish the 3rd Voltron was in this series, these 2 shows are definitely amount my favorites as a child
I’ve always loved how Lion Voltrons blazing sword formed- but God it’s still sooooo badass how Vehicle Voltrons blazing sword forms as well! 2 spinning laser blades come together and combine to form the blade- just awesome! 🤘🏼
Yessss!!!! Love the the way V.V. forms his sword
it doesnt matter wich voltron u like best lets all agree 2 voltrons are better than 1 voltron
They did a really great job editing both Voltrons together. You would never know both version where from 2 different series.
This movie was actually made using US original footage.
Remember the 2 teams were mentioned in both shows before like during the episode where the Lion Voltron attacked Planet Doom and after they won the team was relaxing in a field of flowers and Pidge mentioned he was going to write to his brother and then we see the Explorer and her fleet and in that large room where we see the Vehicle Voltron team talking about letters they got and Jeff joking about getting a message from someone on the top deck and Chip told them he got a letter from Pidge saying how things were going on Arus and if they might get back together or Galaxy Garrison sending them to another trouble spot and in an episode from the Vehicle Voltron series the team was talking about letters and Chip was expecting a letter from Pidge but it never came and he nearly got in trouble with the Air team when he wasn't present to launch and Lisa reminded Jeff that Chip and Pidge weren't just brothers they were twins and at the end of that episode Pidge's letter finally arrived and Chip was reading it where Pidge mentioned what they were doing on Arus from Pidge working with the Space Mice to their positions on the Voltron force with Pidge saying 'I pilot the Green Lion and form Voltron's left arm which part are you on your Voltron you should be the head you were always the brains' that part still makes me laugh and remember at the beginning of this as the Castle of Lions in Spaceship mode was heading out and they were talking and they showed flashbacks of both teams at the space academy with Chip and Pidge talking about their height where Chip was standing on his tip toes to Lance and Wallo being at the pool and yanking Cliff right in to Hunk and Rocky practicing their karate to Allura imaging things with herself and the girls and showing an image of Ginger with a crown of flowers on her head to Keith and Jeff having a shooting match that neither one of them won because they were both crack shots.
2 Voltrons transforming.
Those were the days.
Had the Lion Voltron as a kid. Always wanted the car Voltron though.
I had the match box lion force. Actually I still own it. Japanese made too.
6:46 is the BIGGEST nerdgasm of ALL TIME. I dare ANYONE not to get chills when both Voltrons for the Blazing Sword back to back. FIRE! 🔥
The way both Voltrons' leaders say "and I'll form DA HEAD." LOL
Man when I first saw this and seeing Lotor pilot the Super Robeast it reminded me a lot of the episode 'The Sincerest Form of Flattery' where Lotor challenged Zarkon to a duel for control of Planet Doom and he ended up losing and even stated he wanted revenge on the Lion Voltron even stating he would become a Robeast to do it and that was when Haggar revealed the Giant Robot she built to exploit weaknesses in Voltron and Zarkon stated that she wanted Lotor at it's controls and ir's funny that ths episode we finally get to see that Lotor piloting a Robeast that was built to do just like the 2 Voltrons 4 Robeasts combining into one man that was something.
That formation track is second to none. My childhood hoodoos conquered right there and there! 💪
when villain finally knw the flood the good guy with multiple beasts...
but stil failed terribly...
I have a job interview in about an hour. I got on to youtube to specifically watch this. It's freakin voltron! The most powerful robot (or in this case, robots) ever. His freakin' power is epic and the bravery of the voltron force (both lion and vehicle voltron) is just what I needed.
Howd the job go?
i knew nothing about this movie but cool to see two voltron working together!
Wow I teary eyed and goosebumps while watching. Wahahahehehehehehehe
The one part that still makes me laugh after all these years was the part when those Galaxy Garrison soldiers took on the Robots of Doom and were shooting them and as the robots were hit the funny sounds being made as they exploded was freaking hilarious.
PIDGE (Lion Voltron) and CHIP (Vehicle Voltron); should have gave each other a hug!! Afetr all (According to the Voltron story line); they are brothers!!!
We're in motion commander.
Ready to form Voltron!
Let's do it, team!
Form feet and legs!
Form arms and torsos!
And Autoform the head!
GO VOLTRON!
This was on tv Sunday afternoon and I sat and watched this entire thing . I remember how I felt in my heart when both voltrons came together and fought the end boss.
Ever since I was young, when 5:34 played I always got hyped up to the equivalent of "shit's gonna get real" lol. The way the Vehicle team just goes flying out ready to kick ass, gets the energy going all the time. Still does. Air Team all the way!

I love how several of the same voice actors were used for a variety of the great 80's cartoons like GI Joe, Transformers and Voltron!! It was always amazing to hear Cobra Commander whenever Starscream would talk back to Megatron on Transformers!!
Vehicle space Voltron is my favorite, all episodes are original and amazing!!! The Drule Empire kinda reminds me of the Star Wars Chiss Ascendancy.
I grew up watching both Voltron shows too and when this came out I was surprised that they had 4 Robeasts that could do the same thing as the Lion and Vehicle Voltrons could combine into one giant robot now that was a shocker and I'm even surprised Haggar didn't think of doing that against the Lion Force Team I mean she had the Lion Voltron' blueprints and with all the giant robots she built to fight the Lion Voltron she didn't think of creating Robeasts that could combine.
I loved this episode! Both Voltrons are badass!
It's so been eons since I last seen two voltorns together.
These resonate because it was a time we knew evil existed and fought it .
Keith, and Allura should've told both nanny, and Koran, leave me alone! If I want to marry Keith, I will!
I remember pretending I was sick so I could stay home and watch this. I think the only time it aired was in morning on a particular weekday
I would like to see three Voltrons together.
Three?
I remember this so well two voltrons taking on the fleet of doom
Man even though this was a movie it sure would have been awesome if they did an episode of both the Lion Force Voltron and the Vehicle Force Voltron teaming up like if the forces of the Drule Empire that didn't want peace like they showed in the last episode of the Vehicle series were to go to the Diamond Galaxy and were to join forces with Zarkon and lead an all out attack on Planet Arus pushing the Lion Force to their limits and they managed to send out a call for help and the fleet of the Explorer and the Vehicle Force were to arrive to help out now that would have been an awesome episode to see of the t.v. series.
Happy Birthday Voltron 40 years of Defending the universe 🎉
But still no word on what happened to "Gladiator Voltron" Made up of 3 different robots. Last I heard due to the success of Lion Voltron and the lack of fanfare of Vehicle Voltron. The powers that be chose not to air the Voltron from the near universe. Shame. I would have liked to see it.
Dont get me wrong I grew up with Go Lion and it has a special place in my heart. But Vehicle Voltron totally saved Lion Voltron's beacon. I really home Dreamworks gives Vehicle Voltron a series like the Legendary Defender series.
He really did
Right let's do it!
Active interlocks.
Dynatherms connected.
Infrocells up,
Megathrusters are go.
LET'S GO VOLTRON FORCE!
Form feet and legs!
Form arms and torsos!
And autoform the head!
even tho this movie was like 10fps it was still cool enough for us to love it.
The form blazing sword scene was epic.
This was made especially for the North American Voltron audience/fans. In reality Go Lion (Lion Voltron) and Deirugger (Vehicle Voltron) are two completely, separate animated series. I've always enjoyed both shows and leaned towards Vehicle Voltron more because of the more realistic plots.
still totally made in Japan. if anything then is cleaner like it always is for the movies. :)
What?
I like the Vehicle Version of the series' season 2.
I wish that a live action Voltron were produced. There was a proposal, but then it fell flat.
Two Voltrons: Both Lion and Vehicle Force.. I love this. It's like the animated version of the MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS.
Voltron both versions well before Rangers though
Sorry pal I hate to rain on your on your parade, but the combining giant robot of the Voltron as well many anime giant combiner robots predates all those classic sentai giant robots, likethe Mighty Morphine Power Rangers Zoards
2:58-3:48 & 5:34-6:15 you could hear me scream in joy as a kid and when they formed the blazing swords! The joy was incredible!
ROFL! It's not fair, they ganged up on me!!
Vehicle And Lion Voltron!
The Ultimate Team!
The story of Voltron Defender of the Universe as told by Optimus Prime the greatest storyteller ever. Tell me I'm wrong
It does probably help that I own an original 1984 panosh place 15 inch Voltron, still in excellent condition from when I was a rugrat.
I still own my original 1985 matchbox Voltron lion force which was made in Japan.
It seems like the Vehicle Force assembles twice as fast as Lion Force.
both voltron's fighting side by side love the form up routines sold have loved for the explorer to be a bigger part with there voltron team but they where the lest favored and this is shown here then again they had a short power range when formed so that could also explain why ashort part but a favored memory all the same lets go voltron force.
You know it's a real crime we never got a combining toy of Lotor's "Voltron"
WOW!!!! That's a SUPER RO-BEAST!
One of the rare cases where The Original Voltron in its robot form gets beaten
They jipped the Vehicle team out of screen time. The least they could do is have the overrated Lion team play the Face in Peril.
So, now, LOTOR'S forming the head?! Is this some kind of sick joke? 'Cause it's funny... sort of.
Pretty funny how the space version was jacked and kicked major butt!
VOLTRON DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE 40TH ANNIVERSARY!
1984-2024!
LET'S GO VOLTRON FORCE!
There's been one in development for awhile using the Lion Voltron. Haven't heard anything in some time
Whoa, dudes! The new show was right! It really does take 36 seconds to form Voltron!
That was a funny almost 4th wall break when they realize it's a combat weakness
I love Lion Voltron. Never saw Vehicle Voltron till now.
If only Gladiator Voltron got a series
12:45 "It's not fair they ganged up on me!"
Well, you should of thought about that before you went to battle.
If this was Golion the look on Zarkon's face at 13:33 would be, "I just flirted with my mother!"
The only reason Lotor lost to the Space Explorers and both Voltrons is because he was celebrating too early and thinking he already won for a super villain he was a complete idiot you should never celebrate a victory till your enemies are beaten first and don't gloat about it laughing like an idiot you should strike down your enemies first then celebrate.
The vehicle teams are the best
They should find the original artists to draw up voltron for a classic but new movie 😊
Wish I still had my old voltron toys probably worth some bucks now😊 I wouldn't sell tho😊
now to finish them
soon they'll all be mine
finish them!
is lotor just saying random things?!
The voice of the leader of the fleet sounds just like Optimus Prime.
Well it’s the same voice actor the great Peter Cullen.
That’s almost the equivalent to Power Rangers Ultrazord.
Its not fair they ganged up on me 😂😂😂
Wow she did that just to troll his son. "Help him in his hour of need" huh?
What i like about our generation we always knew what they were doing they would call out the weapons and path they were doing generation x is the smartest
8:32 Form leg & feet, form arm & torse, & I'll form head.
Love this
This was cool
That moment when you realize Optimus prime was the narrator 😮
No he’s the voice of the Fleet Commander of the Earth Expeditionary Forces.
the real heroes…the editors
My favorite is Lion Voltron he looks cooler, he has wings and his Blazing Sword is far more badass. I also like the simplicity of just 5 lions to make up voltron. Vehicle Voltron is too complex with 15 separate vehicles and 15 pilots. I also never liked his cone shaped head, the way the cars on his feet looked or how his sword looked.
Possibly due to the fact that each Voltron depicts its respective team. Lion Force are soldiers. Vehicle Force are soldiers but primarily explorers.
girl i got you
Zarkon "Well who are you?" lol
Falcon Cannons!
Neutron Beams!
Go lions best voltron
Love Pete Cullen voice
3:51 & 6:44 Why don't Voltron and Voltron just play kickball or something with the robeasts?
Did they ever sell the evil Voltron as a toy?
Were both Voltron's team leaders voiced by the same person.
Iirc, these are supposed to be the first and third Voltrons. Where’s the second?
EPIC!!!!!!!
Yaaasaasssssss!!!!!!!¡!!!!!!
cool
We want to see vultron lose lol
