As a kid who loved the old anime I say why not. It can't be any worse than bayformers.

Obligatory



"And I'll form the head!" I want that transformation sequence adapted beat for beat.

I like Voltron......Who knows what they will do with it.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

A Voltron film as been rumored for years I think. I'm surprised it didn't happen when bayformers hit at the box office.

Loved this cartoon as a kid, even got the massive part plastic/part die cast metal toy from Santa. Was quite heavy but cool as fuck.

No match for Ulysses though which I can still watch, was never tempted to go back to Voltron for some reason.

I wonder why they never sold Ulysses toys here? Weird as the show was very popular. Monkey Magic as well, bizarre missed opportunity.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid, and I loved the OG metal lion Voltron where the legs were so heavy they would sometimes fall off the black lion.

 

[sol_bad]

As long as they release it in the cinemas I am OK with this.

Someday we'll get over the 80s. A SilverhHawks movie next?



Wasn't Seth Rogan trying to make Thundercats happen again?

I know he's producing another TMNT and Darkwing Duck.

 

[jason10mm]

Rocket fists and rocket boobs versus BLAZING SWOOOOOOOOOORRRRRDDD!

In this thread you've advertised Voltron and now SilverHawks. That clearly makes you my long lost brother

Of course I grew up on "Lion" Voltron, but as a kid my mind was blown when I found out there was an alternate Voltron -- one made of vehicles instead of mechanical Lions.

EDIT: should've read J jason10mm 's post first

 

[Fbh]

eh, we already got a decent modern Voltron from the Netflix animated show. It even did the mandatory woke elements fairly well.

I don't really expect much from a live action version.

We all know who the original Voltron bae was though:

 

[jason10mm]

Nah, the OG Bae is definitely

Though we all know who is the most freaky in the sheets

I remember thinking it was okay. I watched three seasons of it think but I literally couldn't tell you what happened at all.

 

[AJUMP23]

Where is my Go BOTs movie?

That had a pretty cool opening

Your right it did. But they were overshadowed because transformers were cooler.

I swear she was my first crush when I was a small child

I really enjoyed it.
It's not perfect and it definitely started to run out of steam towards the end, but overall it's a fun show with good characters, nice animation and a good mix of action, humor and a bit of drama.
It has a bit of an Avatar vibe going on as I think it's the same animation studio as Korra and one of the writers/producers of the last airbender worked on it.

And it does the woke stuff pretty well too. Yeah the obligatory multicultural cast is there but it's in a context that makes sense, and yeah the obligatory gay character is there but he's pretty cool and neither his story nor personality are defined by his sexual orientation.

 

[Revolutionary]

Remember when people thought the Cloverfield trailer was actually Voltron?



"It's a lion, it's huge!"

I remember. Voltron would have been better than that shakey cam mess.

My friend threw up watching cloverfield. .

Yeah I think pidge being transgender or non binary was literally like a few lines then it wasn't really brought up again that I remember. I'll get back to it one of these days.

 

[farmerboy]

Will watch.

 

[RoboFu]

It. Plus be as bad as their series was.

 

[Flutta]

She’ll prob be a vageater in this new version

 

[akimbo009]

This thread fills me with so many feels.

This show will suck, but I'll be here for it.

 

[sol_bad]

Oh yeah.
Netflix show sucked. So much boring story, not enough giant robot action. I think I watched about 13 episodes and then I was out.

First 5-6 seasons were good, but then it just got lost. They started adding all new characters. The whole Lotor story line just fizzled. Sadly the last few seasons were not that interesting. My kids lost interest and I wasn't complaining.

Yeah the last 2 seasons were kinda meh, they should have ended the show sooner.
