Voltron was a Japanese anime seen in Television series aired from September 10,1984 to November 18,1984.The first titled Voltron: Defender of the Universe.
A remake of the series, Voltron: The Voltron: The Third Dimension, was made in the 1990s using CGI techniques. The 1980s Voltron series was based on two unrelated Japanese anime series Beast King Go Lion and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV (both originally produced by Toei Animation & Bandai). The anime was later dubbed into English and edited by the North American television production and distribution company World Events Production. The dub was not a direct adaptation, however, due to much violence being removed from the original Japanese series.
The first season was based on the 1981 series Beast King Go Lion ( Hyakujūō Goraion), and the anime, featured a team of five young pilots commanding five robot lions, which could be combined to form Voltron. In this undefined future era, the Voltron Force was in charge of protecting the planet Arus (ruled by Princess Allura) from the evil King Zarkon (from planet Doom), his son Lotor, and the witch Haggar, who would create huge Robeasts to terrorize the people of Arus. Despite being the first of the two robots to appear on American television, the "GoLion" version of Voltron was regarded as "Voltron III" within the toyline because, within the original planned "three-Voltron" continuity, Arus was the furthest setting from Earth's side of the universe ("Voltron I" being intended for the Near Universe, and "Voltron II" for the Middle Universe).
