Voltron
''Voltron: Defender of the Universe'' is an animated television series that features a team of astronauts that pilot a giant super Robot known as "Voltron". Initially produced as a joint venture between World Events Productions and Toei Animation, the original television series aired in syndication from September 10, 1984 to November 18, 1985. The first season of ''Voltron'', featuring the "Lion Force Voltron", was adapted from the Japanese animated television series ''Beast King GoLion''. The second season, featuring the "Vehicle Voltron", was adapted from the unrelated series ''Armored Fleet Dairugger XV''.
''Voltron'' was the top-rated syndicated children's show for two years during its original run, and spawned a follow-up series, several comic books, and a 1-hour special.
==Development==
The original series was created by Peter Keefe and John Teichmann in 1984 using material that they had licensed from the Japanese animated series ''Beast King GoLion'' and ''Armored Fleet Dairugger XV''. The producers had no means of translating the Japanese series into English, thus they surmised the plots, created all-new dialogue, edited out the more violent scenes and remixed the audio into stereo format. The series was an immediate hit in the United States, topping the syndication market for children's programs in the mid-1980s.〔
The Japanese ''Mirai Robo Daltanious'' series was originally planned to be adapted by World Events Productions as part of ''Voltron''. When requesting master tapes from Toei Animation for translation purposes, the World Events Productions producers requested "() ones with the lion." Mistakenly, Toei then proceeded to ship World Events copies of ''Beast King GoLion'', another "combining-robot" cartoon featuring lion-shaped fighters. Because the World Events producers greatly preferred ''GoLion'' to ''Daltanious'', the ''GoLion'' episodes were adapted instead, going on to become the most popular portion of the original ''Voltron'' run. A third version/series of ''Voltron'' based on yet another Japanese series, Lightspeed Electroid Albegas, was also in progress, but dropped when World Event Productions joined with Toei to make new ''GoLion''-based shows, due to that series' popularity over the ''Dairugger'' run.
