FYI: The "5 vehicles combine into a giant robot" concept was a very popular cartoon concept in Japanese animes WELL BEFORE Voltron. The later ones got even more than 5 members, went up to 15 and was the most outrageous of the concept (adapted into the latter Vechicle Team Voltron in Western media) iirc .

Voltes V was first aired in '77. While the original Lions Voltron came out years LATER in the mid-'80s. So can't claim plagiarism.

This is properly licensed (by TOEI Japan) trailer made by a Philippines studio, so it's legitimate and not fan-made.

"Voltes V" ws the immediate followup of "Combattler V"

I grew up with these cartoons in their original Japanese version but dubbed into Cantonese while I was in Hong Kong.

And why don't we have a live action official Voltron? We only got animated ones. Live action Transformers exist.

Animaniacs is one of the best recent reboot of them 80's toons. Far better than Looney Tunes, He-Man Thundercats, Voltron and other reboots.

That was awesome as hell. *doublepromote

Always loved Thundercats as a kid (along with Silverhawks and Voltron, etc.) and been getting my kids into them as well.

Just saw that they added the original series to Hulu.

Your video, Voltron Force Lacks Teamwork Skills, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

American Voltron, but it came from Japan!

*kids

I hope it will be good. Voltron Force was OK.

I don't understand.
When you say you never cared for "these films", what do you mean? You could not be referring to just the two crouching tiger hidden dragon films, because you haven't seen the second one, it's not out yet. Are you referring to Chinese films made for American audiences in general, or something else?
If you mean Crouching Tiger specifically, I'll disagree with that opinion. I thought Crouching Tiger #1 was great, and I also quite enjoyed House of Flying Daggers, which was a bit similar to me.

That said, my first choice of Chinese fantasy action films (that I've seen) would be Holy Weapon aka Hopy Weapon aka Holy Shit! Now that was some good insanity Kung Fu, and included a flying all virgin Kung Fu version of 'crippletron' (a bit like Voltron, but instead of a giant robot made of spaceships or other smaller robots, it's a giant person made out of regular people) and a human Cuisinart named Super Sword. Now THAT was some insane awesomeness.

And Voltron.

Ah, that's pretty clever. It does, however, look massively more expensive than just collapsing the building, probably including the cost of cleaning up any collateral mess or damage. Presumably it's cost effective here though, so what do I know (I imagine, for instance, if you were collapsing that building, you would have to evacuate the nearby buildings for several days around the actual collapse, which could be really expensive in lost business).

Anyways, this is a step closer to Voltron coming, picking up the building, and just hurling it into space to be swallowed by the sun, and I'm all for that bright future.

shinyblurry, the flaw in your thinking is that somehow this Bible is a perfect work and completely true word of God, and yet there are so many different versions. You can't even come close to agreeing on the basic concept of what is God. How is your Trinity correct, but the Catholic church is wrong, and the apostles are wrong, but somehow YOU are correct.

God spoke to me and told me that when Jesus, God (the old cranky Jewish one), and the Holy Spirit get together, they (like Voltron) form a being know as Thor. It is true and indisputable. There is no way you or the New Testament can dispute this revelation. You may call it the Trinity or something, but I have seen the true form and name it takes, it is know as Thor (head of Jesus, body of the spirit, mighty smiting arms of father God)

The real problem with your nonsense is that a child molester who murders old ladies and is also a serial killer... just has to say a few words and poof, he is as pure and spiritual as you are. I'm not sure how that sits well with you.

>>You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only -- James 2:24

Also, Jesus likes to contradict himself even from the same author within mere paragraphs of one another:
>>If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. -- John 5:13
>>Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true -- John 8:14

That silly Jesus, he is like a quantum Jesus, true and untrue at the same time.

Ah, that takes me back. The original Transformers. Helps me forget about the Michael Bay exploding car commercials.


Ditto. Also, the newer animated Transformers suck! I wished I kept my 1980s/80s toys since they are worth a lot! I still have my Voltron from it though!
