wo1verin3 writes "Voltron is coming to theatres!. While details are sparse, we do know it will be produced by Mark Gordon ('The Day After Tomorrow'). I'm still waiting for the DVD sets." From the article: "The 'Voltron' animated TV series debuted in 1984, about the same time as Hasbro's Transformers toy line, igniting a morphing robot phenomenon. According to sources, Voltron has generated $750 million in worldwide licensing and nearly $200 million in toys and merchandising since 1984."

My mother still has a picture of me on my first day of grade school... with my brand new Voltron backpack.
Fressssh!
Not every argument requires reduction to absurdity.
1. I'll form the head!
2. Form blazing sword!
3. ???
4. Profit!
No. That's like saying why should they make a new Transformers movie when they already made "GoBots meet the Rock Lords."
Just so you know...

After all, knowing is half the battle.
Go, Joe!
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
will be released directly to DVD as gay porn. Come on folks, all of these shows are blatently homo-erotic.
I am such a karma whore but here you go just tell them you got served
Sorry about the writing. Robot fingers, you know? Cliff Steele in DOOM PATROL #23
... Voltron got served on the dance floor! [Hilarious WMA mini-movie].
Tiller's Rule: Never use a word in written form that you've only heard and never read. You will end up looking foolish.
I still remember wanting a Voltron so bad before Christmas that one year. And luckily I was in Sunday School at that time so my prayer skills were sharp and I put them to good use.
Needless to say, God told my parents to buy that thing.
Finance tutorials and more! Understandfinance
if Voltron somehow ends up fighting Iraqi Robeasts, though...
You're in luck. In this new, updated Voltron, there is no fighting. All of the issues are worked out through peaceful diplomatic negotiations. Intelligence is perfect. Politicians seek the best for all people, the media is educated, fully informed, interested in presenting the truth, and restrains from oversentationalizing everything. Wealthy corporations pay workers to stay home and protect the environment and everyone recycles, writes Open Source Software, and whistles while they work.
Worse... "My Buddy." (Is the commercial jingle stuck in your mind yet? Bwuhahahahahhah....)
For a while they covered up the Voltron name with stickers that said Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. They sold zillions of Voltron toys this way.

Can stand against the dreaded Slashdot effect!
the future is but past forgotten
Lets take bets on what TV franchise from the 80's they will bastardize next. I've got $50 down for He-Man. Paris Hilton can be Skeletor.
Mod me down with all of your hatred, and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
My native country of Elbonia! We think it is the coolest new show since 'Different Strokes' (last year).
So for all you AC's who mock this fine show, I just have this to say: "Watchu talkin' 'bout Willis?"

Skeletor was just your run-of-the-mill bodybuilder. But he wanted more. And as his ambitions grew and festered, so did his muscles, because he had started taking 'roids. But soon, the drugs took over his life, his personality...even his face grew gaunt, frighteningly so. His gym buddies came to fear his skeletal visage and budding megalomania. It seemed that he was not content just to win all of the bodybuilding contests with his 'roid-honed physique, no, he wanted the world.
He took to playing with swords and necromancy. As the drugs exacted their toll, tearing away the last shreds of Skeletor's humanity (and the remainder of his face,) the transfigured bodybuilder retreated to the dark castle he had bought with the winnings from the Mr. Eternia competition. And there he resides today, conducting his ghastly experiments on the deceased, and plotting against the living, his tragic life a grim object lesson for steroid users everywhere.
C called.
It wants it's *pointers back.
wbs.
Huh?
