VOLTRON DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE ALL TINS SERIES
In The New '10s, Nickelodeon/ Nicktoons brought us Voltron Force, another CGI Lion Voltron Sequel Series that premiered in spring of 2011. In addition, Privateer Press released a Voltron tabletop miniature game based on its Monsterpocalypse ruleset. (How exactly a robot that big could qualify as "stealth" even when painted black is anyone's guess.) There have also been several comic book series based on Lion Voltron, including a series that basically retells the origins of the "Voltron Force" and their discovery of Voltron and more recently, a Robotech/Voltron crossover. In its second season, Voltron was redesigned as a "Cyber Stealth" model. This sub-series tends to have a slightly darker, more mature take on its plots. In the year 1998 as the Turn of the Millennium approached, Voltron was revived in the form of Voltron: The Third Dimension, a completely CGI animated continuation of the Lion Voltron storyline, set a few years into the future relative to the original, as there are important changes to the setting, but the character cast stayed mainly the same. World Events Productions took notice of this and decided to make the stereo sound of the series a big selling point: almost every store selling stereo television sets in the mid 80's used Voltron as a highlight of what stereo sound could deliver versus mono. Around the time of the show's production, the Federal Communications Commission was in the process of approving stereo broadcasting, yet most programs and cartoons back then were still being broadcast in monaural sound. Voltron was one of the first television programs to be produced and broadcast in stereophonic sound. This "Gladiator" Voltron was based on Albegas, which was intended to be used for the third season that never materialized. A third Voltron, "Voltron II", was also available. In the United States toy market, Lion Voltron was sold under the name "Voltron III", while Vehicle Voltron was sold as "Voltron I". note For the knowledgeable: Zarkon ( Lion Voltron's main villain) is in this continuity a vassal of the Drule Empire (the bad guys of Vehicle Voltron), the two short kids are now brothers, and the Galaxy Garrison of Dairugger has scenes cut into Lion Voltron in which they would talk about the situation, but never do anything about them, as there was no fight footage available that featured the conversing characters. While changes to the anime were not as severe as those made to Robotech, alterations were made to fit GoLion and Dairugger together. Later, the theme song for 2011's Voltron Force was done by rapper and hip-hop producer Swizz Beats., but anime fans love it too.

Voltron is still considered the combining mecha anime in mainstream American pop culture note a series of early 2000s "Sprite" commercials pitted rappers against King Zarkon. Voltron: Defender of the Universe is a Combining Mecha cartoon, created by World Events Productions in 1984 with recycled clips from the Toei anime series GoLion and Dairugger XV.
