Voltron - Verteidiger des Universums

For the United States, there were a total of three Voltrons. Voltron I of the Near Universe was the Vehicle Force. Voltron III of the Far Universe was the "Lion Force." Voltron II, from the Middle Universe, featured three humanoid robots that combined into one multi-armed fighter. Toys based on Voltron II were sold in the US, but the show was not. In Japan, there was only Lion Voltron. The other two combiner robots were from other Japanese mecha shows: Dairugger (Voltron 1), and Albegas (Voltron 2).

The opening narration states the Galaxy Alliance was formed by "the good planets of the solar system." This phrasing suggests both that Earth and the other planets sharing the sun are the entire alliance, and that some of those worlds are not friendly.

At the end of the closing credits, the Black Lion stands up and roars.

In the mid-1980s, CBS FOX Video released four Voltron tapes in Australia. Two of those tapes, titled "Voltron In The Castle Of Lions" and "Voltron Versus The Empire Of Drule", had several scenes cut out by the distributor.
