A [[Sequel Series]] to the original 1984 ''[[Voltron
After [[Never Say "Die"|defeating]] the evil King Lotor years prior, the Voltron Lions went berserk during a celebration, killing none but terrifying all, and leading to their decomissioning as part of the Galactic Military. But when an exiled occult scientist finds a way to revive Lotor, the Lions are needed once again.
The Voltron Force, including a trio of new cadets, will journey to new worlds, find new powers, and uncover ancient secrets in their newest battle to save the universe!
Take a look at the [[Voltron
----
Line 39:
* [[Black Best Friend]]: Odd case in where the Black guy is the best friend of an Asian guy.
* [[Book Ends]]: The end of "Defenders of the Universe" has Daniel piloting the Black Lion and the seat changed then Daniel pulls ahead. "Black" ends similarly but extends it, {{spoiler|showing his Haggarium affection and attacking the others}}.
* [[Casting Gag]]: This isn't the first time an [[Transformers Generation 1|Optimus]] [[Transformers Armada
* [[Character Development]]:
** Keith: [[Standardized Leader]] ----> [[Took a Level In Badass]]
** Lance: Hot-Headed Rebel ----> [[Cool Teacher]]
** Allura: [[Faux Action Girl]] ----> True [[Action Girl]] and [[Badass Princess]]
** In-series happens to [[The Big Guy|Hunk]]. In the first few episodes he was mostly silent (bordering [[Living Prop]]) except for a few one liners here and there. Then came the episode [[A Day in
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The hole in the center of the Black Lion.
* [[Cliff Hanger]]: The end of "Black", {{spoiler|Daniel attacks the others with the Black Lion}}.
* [[Combining Mecha]]: The titular mecha, just like the original. But it acquires new transformations with other lions serving as the robot's centerpiece.
** And by the Season Two episode "Rogue Trip", the cadets upgraded their junkyard mechs to form their own [[Combining Mecha]], nicknamed "Awesometron". {{spoiler|It is destroyed in the episode "I, Voltron" in order to defeat the Wade-Kala "Lider" robeast, albeit temporarily.}}
* [[Composite Character]]: ''Voltron Force'''s Voltron is a mix from the [[Voltron
** This incarnation of Voltron is able to have [[Multiform Balance|different abilities depending on which Lion is the head]]. Thus it has the traits of [[What Could Have Been|the proposed but unproduced]] Voltron 3rd series, a.k.a. "Gladiator" Voltron, that would have been adapted from ''[[
* [[Continuity Cameo]]: Pidge's brother Chip, the pilot of the Advance Recon Helicopter (#4) that becomes the left upper arm of Vehicle Voltron, appears in the episode "Brains".
** Allura's Nanny appears at the end of the episode "Ghost in the Lion".
Line 58:
** In "Joyride to Doom" Lotor smashes a statue of his father, King Zarkon, the [[Big Bad]] of the original series.
** The Castle of Lions' spaceship mode in "Black".
* [[Conspicuous CGI]]: Similar in appearance to ''[[Speed Racer:
* [[Cool Bike]]: Daniel's personal vehicle.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Wade, though only the Voltron Force seems to actually care.
Line 65:
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: Maahox
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: Wade takes his "anti-Voltron" policy at the Academy ''very'' seriously -- Danny (and Vince) received latrine duty for a month just for asking about the subject, and Pidge joked that Danny could be expelled for possessing an old photo of the team members.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Evil Knockoff]]: Wade extensively studied the Black Lion so he could make his own copies of the technology, including a gigantic Grey Lion (large as Voltron itself) posessing [[More Dakka]], and several other robot lions patrolling his moon base. He also created smaller human scale versions.
** Maahox created 5 Robeasts that can combine into the Voltron-like "Predator Robeast."
Line 78:
** [[The Big Guy]]: Hunk
** [[The Chick]]: Allura
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Possibly a coincidence, but there's quite a few similarities to ''[[
* [[Foreshadowing]]: Since "Dark Blue," Green Center has been constantly alluded to.
** And it's seen the light of day on episode 14 basically as a sword-and-shield-totin', masked ninja Voltron.
Line 84:
* [[Four-Star Badass]]: Wade is a villainous example.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Vince spends most "Brains" rattling off zombie movie tropes that relate to the team's current situation.
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]/[[The Resenter]]: The reason why Wade hates Voltron? {{spoiler|[[Refused
* [[Gundamjack]]: Wade pulls this off in episode 13.
* [[Hard Light]]: The weapons made by Voltcoms.
Line 122:
* [[Mad Scientist]]: Maahox
* [[Magical Negro]]: Vince is even called "magic man" in light of his mech-empowering ability.
* [[Mecha
** And in one episode, a [[Mecha Mook]] disguised as {{spoiler|Coran}} infiltrated the castle to blow it up.
* [[More Hero Than Thou]]: Keith and Lance arguing who gets to rescue Coran from Wade's abandoned moon base.
Line 137:
** [[Glass Cannon]]: Blue
** [[Stone Wall]]: Green
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted twice in less than fifteen minutes.
{{quote| '''Sky Marshal Wade''': [[Blatant Lies|"Lotor is dead!"]]<br />
(''later'') '''Vince''': "I like the simulators--all the fun of flying, none of the death." }}
Line 175:
* [[Rule of Cool]]: When Danny and Vince meet Pidge and Hunk, Hunk is using a welding torch... and Pidge points out he isn't actually welding anything. Hunk acknowledges this, saying he just wanted to make a "cool introduction for the cadets".
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: Even when Lotor comes back to life, the scars he received from the first time the Voltron Force killed him with the Blazing Sword are still there.
* [[Send in
* [[Shapeshifter Baggage]]: While the five lions are all relatively the same size as each other, whichever lion forms the centerpiece of Voltron's robot mode becomes noticeably larger as a result and the Black Lion decreases size as well when it becomes a leg or arm.
* [[Shout-Out]]: Larmina and Hunk's favorite band, Stereo-Lactic, is visually reminiscent of [[
** One scene has Voltron averting a nasty fall by [[Astro Boy|firing up rockets with all four limbs.]]
* [[The Something Force]]
Line 185:
{{quote| '''Wade:''' "The lion becomes the tamer."}}
* [[Straw Fan]]: Dudley.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: One of the original ''[[
** Subverted in Episode 13, where the original theme without any remixing is used during Voltron's formation.
* [[Take That]]: A rather brutal one against fans of the classic series who dislike the cadets. Episode 15, "Dudley, Voltron's Biggest Fan" is about an obnoxiously voiced fanboy of Voltron's classic adventures (IE: The original series) who runs around wearing Keith's old outfit, complete with helmet, insults changes like the Voltcoms, writes creepy Princess Allura fan fiction, and {{spoiler|pilots of a replica of Voltron that resembles its 80's design}}. [[Word of God]] states this episode was conceived prior to the series debut anticipating a backlash against the cadets and Voltcoms.
** That same episode also has a slightly lighter one against ''[[
* [[Tank Goodness]]: Vince's personal vehicle.
* [[Theme Tune Rap]]: Yes, it has one, done by professional rapper Swizz Beatz.
Line 199:
** Actually discussed in the episode itself on how the enemies never attacked when Voltron was transforming before.
* [[True Companions]]: Explicitly invoked by the adult members of the Voltron Force at least every second episode.
* [[Two Guys and
* [[Tyrant Takes the Helm]]: Sky Marshal Wade's overall goal for the Alliance.
* [[Unnecessarily Large Interior]]: The inside of the Lions' cockpits are ridiculously roomy.
Line 216:
*** [[Cool Sword]]
*** [[Dual-Wielding]]
*** [[Elegant Weapon for
*** [[Laser Blade]]
** [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: Green Voltron's Boomerang Shield. As the name implies, it can also be [[Throwing Your Shield Always Works|thrown]] as a [[Deadly Disc]]. (Green's also been seen to use the Blazing Sword, but it seems to mainly be a back-up weapon for it.)
** [[Prongs of Poseidon]]: Blue Voltron's Titanic Trident. Allura even calls it "Poseidon-esque" during its introduction.
*** [[Double Weapon]]
** [[Simple Staff]]: Larmina. Turns into a [[Nunchaku]] and [[Blade
** [[Super Empowering]]: Vince doesn't get a weapon, but arguably has [[Heart Is an Awesome Power|the strongest power]], given that he enables Voltron's mode changes and lets it overcome the Haggarium [[Kryptonite Factor]].
*** Vince also has [[Psychic Powers]] such as: [[Mind Over Matter]] (in the episode "[[Incredibly Lame Pun|Coran, Coran]]"), [[Technopath]] (in the episode "Dark Blue").
*** [[Hollywood Hacking|Hollywood Weaponized Hacking]]: This is pretty much his ''weapon'', given that he's made [[Mecha
** [[Wolverine Claws]]: Daniel's Voltcom. Includes [[Grappling Hook Gun|grappling claw-lines]], a [[Flechette Storm]] ability, and [[Super Speed]].
*** Though he still winds up [[Late to
** [[Whip It Good]]: Wade produces this {{spoiler|when he takes control of Voltron}}.
* [[What Happened to
* [[Who Is Driving?]]
* [[Wraparound Background]]: Lampshaded by Larmina and Allura in the episode "Brains" as the Voltron Force runs through a mall to escape the Baltans. Lance justifies it by saying all malls have multiples of the same stores.
