Voltron - Defender of the Universe - Collection Three Summary Kieth, Lance, Hunk, Pidge And Princess Allura Have Sucessfully Awakened The Legendary Robot Guardian, Voltron. After Countless Battles, They've Pushed Back The Forces Of Evil King Zarkon, Freeing The Princess's Home, Planet Arus, As Well As Their Sister Planet, Pollux. But They Couldn't Save The Princess Of Pollux, Romelle, From The Clutches Of Prince Lotor. The Voltron Force Is Dedicated To Defense, And Are Unable To Launch A Full Scale Assault On Planet Doom To Rescue Romelle From Lotor's Pit Of Skulls. Then, A Batch Of Slaves Arrives On Planet Doom, And With Them Romelle's Last Hope. It's A Former Member Of The Voltron Force, Now A Dedicated Revolutionary Bent On Toppling King Zarkon: Sven!

Like Robotech, Voltron is a cut-and-paste combination of unrelated series created for American TV. Part of the early wave of "Japanimation" that helped to build an audience for anime in the U.S., Voltron also contributed to the fad for transforming robot toys. The episodes inCollection Three, the "Green Lion" set, originally aired in October and November of 1984. Four young stalwarts from the Galaxy Alliance, Keith, Lance, Hunk, and Pidge, pilot the lion-mecha that link to form the giant robot Voltron; Princess Allura of the planet Arus took over the fifth lion after Sven was wounded in battle. After being missing in action for some time, Sven (who talks like Wally Walrus) reappears in episode 41, but stays on planet Pollux with Princess Romelle as an ally of the Voltron Force. In each episode, Lotor, the son of King Zarkon, and the evil witch Haggar concoct a new scheme to destroy Voltron and seize control of Arus--only to be defeated by Voltron between the last commercial and the closing theme song. Comprised of re-edited footage from Hyakujuo Go-Lion ("Hundred-Beast King Go-Lion") and Kikou Kantai Dairugger XV ("Armored Fleet Dairugger XV"), the episodes have obviously been assembled like mosaics, with extensive dialogue covering the gaps in the visuals. Like Robotech, Voltron has a special place in the hearts of adults who watched it as kids. For younger otaku, it's an example of how far Japanese animation has developed in the intervening years--and how much more sophisticated its audience has become. (Rated 7 and older: violence) --Charles Solomon
