Did You Know? That "shield" every Voltron toy comes with is actually a throwing weapon. It was never used as shield in the entire show.

[@brendanboiman]

Huh, neat

[@Icarus_Tactical]

Do you ever wonder what Pidge, Lance, Hunk, and Allura ever feel when Voltron is punching and kicking? Those are some heavy G-forces!

[@gammatron7819]

That is one determined Megatron...Someone get him a giant burrito for trying.

[@foldabotZ]

19:48 I'm guessing the Legend of Voltron, Defender of the Universe loved by good and feared by evil has not reached Cybertron. Despite Optimus knowing the legend.

[@michaeldummitt4675]

Think I'd have to murder the sounds after a couple of minutes of hearing them lol

[@MrBlaque2U]

Soon as you started changing them, the 84 theme song just BLASTED in my head💖😂!

[@blacksaber79]

OMG! I should not be eating Chinese food while watching this. So many corny, 80s phrases :D This brings back so many memories when I had this as a kid. Nice seeing an updated version. Great review, as always. (Now back to eating)

[@jehb8945]

The sound effects on this toy perfectly capture the 1980s cheesiness of Voltron and it is glorious I don't think they missed anything. I laughed so hard when Pidge said "I would be hurt if you didn't ask" I mean this is a toy that my generation would have absolutely have loved if such a thing would have existed back of the 1980s. They knocked this out of the park

[@Jcc2224]

"READY TO FOR-" "SSSHHHHH" Why didn't the Robeasts just do THAT to stop Voltron?

[@mvodinh]

Jcc2224 atk during transformation; many ppl on tumblr wonder about. Apparently when they see a transformation scene; they went dumbfounded and be like the fuck

[@ivoryscratch6000]

anyone else notice how classic and legendary defender sets seem to have the same combination parts so you could potentially mix and match

[@chucheeness7817]

That's some good nostalgiagasm right there. With the classic voices, oh my gosh. Just a waist swivel and this would be a PERFECT affordable Voltron. Those SOC and other metal builds are just outrageously priced.

[@reaverofsouls]

I had no idea this was a thing til I actually saw the Black Lion on shelves earlier today. It WILL be mine. Looks infinitely better than the current series Voltron.

[@tubalubsplaysdestiny9612]

For Red and Green pushing in the tail, if you go ahead and pull out the connector, that will give the tail more room to collapse in so it does not ruin it.

[@DJliammack]

16:24 I like the new voltron more I never grow up with the old voltron but side to side they look good like a father and sun

[@christopherwockenfuss8452]

It's "Son", not "sun".

[@davetriplett4779]

[@grahf4215]

I like the newer designs for lion mode and the older designs for combined mode. The newer lions just don't look as good to me as limbs but the black lion looks good in torso mode. While the older designs are much less dynamic and bulky, it's what makes the combined mode look better to me. It just looks a little more cohesive. You should do some follow up skits with DotM Megs and Wave along with Voltron when PotP Predaking comes out.

[@harvey648]

Some of your best dialogue yet, EmGo! Favorite line of the review "You [Voltron] can no longer be trusted!" LOL!

[@jhopper01]

I heard the new Voltron and classic Voltron are compatible with each other.(i.e. the classic green lion can attach to the new Voltron body etc)

[@christopherwockenfuss8452]

Joshua Hopper You heard right. I saw it happen in a review that someone else did.

[@Random42]

To bad Megs didn't try catnip.

[@alexanderarthurreviews3900]

I love that robot when I was a kid in the 80s

[@dantheplasticman9742]

Every time Emgo moved his hands towards the arms with the sound on: Bad idea central, population BAD IDEA

[@hushg2000]

Bought one at a vintage toy store from a recent trade in and love it. I did updated to my liking tho ... painting all the gray plastic with chrome 😜👍

[@DJliammack]

It’s a Cat astrophe For all of the villains lol

[@Shockwave-vo5ty]

DJliammack HAhahahaahaahahaha.......its not that funny anymore IMO....

[@zeusthefox1585]

Boi

[@Tebitots]

I remember my older brother owning the original die-cast Yellow Lion... It was really heavy and shiny, and only contained a scant amount of plastic. Bad thing was, the due to the climate here, the metal turned brittle. Same thing happened to our die-cast Gordian (another mecha with the same gimmick as Baikanfu).

[@orianpax87]

GOOD VOLTRON I ALSO LIKED THE VEHICLE VOLTRON SET

[@ThePlank1991]

funny how Voltron has a surprising amount of articulation, yet Bandai can't seem to give Super Sentai/Megazords much if any...

[@danielcollins9502]

Hasbro will do better when they get the Rangers license

[@ventusgale6203]

i know it late but you know sentai toys is all about combining gimmick right ? Also voltron combine is very simple and add in the nature of the lions themself of couse they make the combine form have good amount of articulation while some of sentai toys have quite complex combination or very odd transformation that impossible to add any articulation to the combine form

[@davidsimon1324]

I now own this very one. it is so awesome!!! I just bought it today. its the most awesome voltron of them all. I think. I bought a smaller one in like 1985 or 1984 and I still have it today, but I lost the sord to it.

[@thecasualreviewer2148]

As a kid I never could collect them all. It always got on my nerves. The stores were always sold out of the black one; therefore I never could combine them. Really pissed me off as a kid. Later on Transformers came around and I forgot all about Voltron, LOL!

[@adolhein]

*LET'S GOLION!*

[@adolhein]

XeviousD *Shirogane dies* minus one *Princess Farla steps in as the replacement pilot* PLUS ONE!

[@HPTBANDIT]

I wasnt crazy about this edition at first but it's really growing on me.

[@cobaltssfans]

I want this Voltron toy back in the day when I was a kid (that was almost 15 years ago), I mean the old Voltron robot but couldn't afford one. But this new one appeared now, I want to get it.

[@christisrisen6774]

I had to Modify mine at the Elbows to get movement I just couldn't believe they built this without it

[@Emerald-yq5kz]

Love classic voltron toys and the cartoon

[@jordangarner87]

Activate interlocks,dynotherms connected, infercells up, mega thrusters are go. GO VOLTRON FORCE!

[@TheSonOfRyan]

still better than the mattycollector.

[@autobotjazz1972]

this is a blast from my childhood, looks great

[@tahirasuleman]

FORM FEET AND LEGS FROM ARMS AND BODY AND I WILL FORM THE HEAD GO VOLTRON those were the good days

[@eccentriccalico9488]

I love how Pidge sounds less gremlin-like for once here. X3

[@reneeklein9187]

Hey ego long time fan before mascot could talk just wanted to say keep up the good job with you no matter what

[@warp849]

The 80s really liked Robots and cats. There was this, Thundercats and the Transformers.

[@Dezlagrate]

EmGo, I can feel the sanity slipping from you in this vid! >^.^

[@davidturner3704]

My one gripe with any Voltron toy is in the cartoon, the lion legs disappeared. I assumed they were covered by panels and I wish a toy replicated that.

[@Ryekenhoshin23]

When you get the Power of the Primes Predaking, you need to do a skit referencing how Megs has moved on from Voltron and has a new love! lol

[@praxusprime5392]

It almost seems like half of every episode of the original show was spent combining into Voltron.

[@inazumanfrash]

I wanted Megatron to sing the meow mix jingle.

[@lostalone1271]

Voltron don't need no foot and hand parts. Also Emgo arguing with talking toys could be its own channel.

[@pureblood_ALPHAMALE]

So FREAKING COOL

[@HiHi-ge8uj]

I love Voltron

[@c.o.n.collectingofnostalgi889]

The Princess sounds like Nicole Watterson from The Amazing world of Gumball episode the fight when she says "let's be friends"

[@diversediversions]

Finally!

[@studiotk4]

So the limbs are interchangeable between the black lions. Mine are swapped out, and oddly they look better that way.

[@dthousand1501]

I like the sounds on this better

[@christisrisen6774]

The Best Non Dicast Voltron available. I lucked out and found him Complete for 100$ plus small Shipping cost

[@AssaultRider555]

Wait this is the old one. The new one is the one that could have any heads right?

[@daryl4225]

Would be so good if they created a metal classics version of this with the shoulders fixed

[@DJliammack]

5:10 looks like voltron needs a hand

[@nealstark185]

You can put the Legendary Defender limb lions on the Classic Black Lion and vice versa

[@xboxgamerJ16]

I wish playmates wouldve released a black lion with Sven sounds

[@vpotter2010]

Do the lions still have the weird gimmicks... like blue with the metal head part lifting and the yellow "ears" opening?

[@CP-sg9qk]

Looks good....i wonder if they will make a prince lotar ro-beast robot like in the animated movie?

[@andrewhubbard1728]

awesome video as always dude.

[@rorylumley4727]

Legendary defender lions are my favorite design but orginal voltron is my favorite design wise

[@Apollocus]

I own the original voltron and you had to push on the arms to move them without moving the shoulder on the body

[@El_Bastardo]

I was totally sold until I saw the arms move... is that really the only way to move them? I'm sticking with the anniversary edition.

[@KameRiderGeatsfeverzombie]

The puns

[@kornkixassman4645]

now we need vehicles voltron to join this lion voltron

[@Random42]

This would have been a great review for Mascot.

[@aaronmauer7225]

the main thing I do not like is it does not have a bicep swivel. I painted the greys silver and the weapons chrome.

[@eaitch9771]

xD lol god damn it keith shut up XD i love see this over and over again it my favorite program.

[@hoofstermon2982]

REEEEEEE-READY FOR---(SWITCH OFF)

[@LovableAmy]

Was there a re-release of this in the 90s? Because mine didn't have sounds & also the green & red lions' tails folded like the blue & yellow lions' tails.

[@snitchbug]

it’s remade in the style of the original, so no

[@flametubexz]

Can you switch the limbs between the two Voltrons

[@wittlebits988]

Pretty cool

[@intraverseneptune1476]

I used to own a Voltron back in the 80's. Was Voltron featured in some cartoon?

[@emgo316]

Yes, Voltron was in a cartoon called Voltron.

[@intraverseneptune1476]

@@emgo316 Just watched an episode, a life long mystery solved thanks.

[@shirothenoodle1810]

[@Griffingterra]

Aw you didn't show them crossing Lions from both versions...

[@jameshansen2746]

I haven’t picked it up yet, but something I haven’t seen commented on in this set is the paws. On the legendary version they were kinda rubbery and less than ideal. Is that the same on this one or are they firm plastic with better ratchets?

[@emgo316]

rubbery as well although they are a bit stiffer.

[@mechafan1178]

I'm gonna stick with my soul of Chogokin Voltron

[@leslietano5281]

I like Voltron

[@dthousand1501]

Got to get it

[@mstiefan6996]

Wow...So I'm guessing they couldn't just use sound clips from the 80s cartoon? Cause those were clearly not the VAs from the cartoon talking. Also, no classic Voltron theme when forming Voltron. T_T

[@DarioDIAGO]

hard to pull legs out while pressing the button!

Will any of you join the Beast Wars Forever movement? The goal of this movement is to let Hasbro know that we want more Beast Wars centric stories, toys, cartoons, etc. Use #Beastwars on all of Hasbro's social media pages, IG, FB, Twitter, Tumblr, KZbin etc. Together we can make this happen, I know it sounds crazy but sometimes crazy works.

[@TheGreenThunder1607]

would've been funnier if there were sven lines on this

[@hoodedmullet8194]

When mine is fully combined, at it says is "form arms and body." None of the other quotes are working for some reason

[@hushg2000]

It doesn’t like you ... only reason I can think of

[@mathwhiz1986]

what sounds would it have made if the green lion was attached before the red lion

[@emgo316]

can't say for sure. as I said in the vid, the phrases are random.

[@mrcscrn0]

Did they release vehicle voltron

[@shahzainrizvi6785]

Why dont you use TLK megatron in your skits now?

[@JoeExoticReddo]

Combine moonracer with Optimus Maximus

Sir emgo316 if you like anime robots of the 80's you should try one of asia's favorite Votis V robot or Daimos

Are the other lions avalible retail yet besides the black one?
