When I was a kid, I learned about Voltron late. I started watching the show during its second season with Voltron I, aka “Vehicle Voltron.” It wasn’t until later that I was interested in Voltron III, aka “Lion Voltron,” known as GoLion in Japan. I like the SF epic space fleet battles of Vehicle Voltron rather than the more fantasy, heavy metal aesthetic of the Lion Voltron. I found some neat “Dairugger Fifteen” stuff on Pinterest.<\/p>\n\n\n
