This has always been my favorite Voltron version. The lion force is iconic, but I hated the wimpy princess and silly mice. The plots made the first 20 minutes almost impossible to sit through and besides a few episodes, the final fight was always brief and repetitive. I never liked the magic-powers-theme that made Voltron more than a machine. Even the bad guys- showing up week after week doing the exact same thing got real corny. Even as a kid I knew this was kinda cheezie.

AND SO I always loved the Vehicle Force more. They were explorers going places. The individual lions were weak, but the 3 land, sea and air units were awesome and formidable. The 5 minutes of stored nuclear energy was a little weak though. Going forward...It made sense (like Gundam) that every fleet or division had only so many resources to support a robeast so it was logical for Voltron to be going one-on-one every week.

Firstly, these are the US edited versions so they toned down the gore by cutting scenes with graphic violence. Also they verbally changed all the soldiers to androids to be more gentle about death on the battlefield. They also say enemies escaped (never to be seen again?) that really died in the series. You can youtube or search for cut Voltron scenes and see how much more adult BOTH these shows were overseas.

Highly recommended for fans of Vehicle Voltron.
Okay Amazon, let's get the un-cut Japanese versions on here too.
