i loved voltron!

also loved superted and danger mouse.
miss those days

kai, u guys have just taken me back to those days when my best moment on tv was watching
voltron and superted

could not resist droppin in on this thread.

i had a friend then who actually thot we could build voltron, we had a group and somehow we believed in his vision, we planned to use it to change nigeria, doin stuff like digging the ground of desert areas with one of the lions till we struck water, sad thing dreams dont come true.

voltron---defender of the universe, thank you for the memories

why's everyone waxing nostalgia about that dude of a robot?
sure, voltron was a monster hit in the go go 80s
but man i'll take the 90s over any decade to be a kid
yes, prove me wrong, but that decade witnessed the dizzying evolution of video games and explosion of cable TV
which translated to a ton more options, more fun, and yet another reason to flunk my exams, lol @ lawyer

geeez, almost forgot bout that, men its quite a long time. brings back so much memories, still one of my favorites. loved pitch and his lion, i used to be pitch among my friends. our Voltron was an old mango tree back in kaduna NNPC quaters. those days, still the best. no worries, just fun and fun and food. its good to be a kid. abeg where i fit download current episodes if they are still in circulation

@all
u guys are making me cry heavily. I did lots of crazy things in those days because of VOLTRON. I killed a dog with my bicycle on my way from school around 3:55pm, i repeat primary 5 twice bco7 of voltron, my brother was involved in an auto accident on our way back from school & i left him dying on the road just to go & watch voltron ( he died & i never cared because of voltron). I dey dream see voltron back then. The song is still very much on my head.

I also love superted & this cartoon of the kid from a little planet that comes to earth with a comet. "LITTLE PRINCE" I think dats the title. I luv d song.

NTA SHOWED VOLTRON LAST YEAR DECEMBER ONE AFTERNOON I ALMOST MELTED.

Those days guys,if u missed voltron,u may as well miss school the following day cos you will not be able to talk
In short oo ni lenu

VOLTRON ROCKS!!!!!!!
After watching voltron, it was time for us to go and act our own episode in the backyard. We were already five in number--4 girls and a boy.

The annoying thing then about voltron was that the episodes were so religiously followed and if nepa or your mother sends you on an errand and you miss that episode, it was better for you not to come to school the next day because the topic during the whole break time was all about voltron destroying that robeast and how he did it. Meanwhile you would be so ashamed that you cant even contribute to that episode and just be watching them gloat over the episode as if your life was about to end for not watching it and the kin swear you go give nepa or your mama no go get part 2 all because of voltron, lol, God punish voltron and all the robeast, lol

VOLTRON HAD ALL OF US BUT YOU BRO ARE CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYYY

lol happy viewing

I loved watching VOLTRON. Methinks that the present day TRANSFORMERS and POWER RANGERS are copyright versions of Voltron-they just stole and duplicated the whole Voltron concept.

Even nowadays, guys who are do-gooders are referred to as "Voltrons", especially the 'Bobo nice' who claims to be escorting his female colleague back to the female hostel at night, in order to 'protect' her from the menace of cult guys.

@maymurph
men i no go lie u, Voltron turned me into another thing back then. I nearly find way enter TV just to go form voltron too. I never missed any of the episodes. I go lock myself inside room dey watch am, make my mama scream, bang at d door even threaten me with starvation, if voltron no finish & until them show NTA advert, i no dey stand up.

LOL, i feel u man, i was as badly addicted as u were, i even told my baby brother that i had my own voltron lion and that i use to fly it over the school, poor boy, he believed me. then again, that cartoon made me catch an interest for science. i started trying to do many inventions of anything that comes to my mind and my kid bro grew up to join the dream, we both went on to become science students and join all kinds of science clubs or invention clubs and finally went to a federal tech university and both still digging in our science lives outside and within nigeria.

there are several things i used to wonder bout voltron

1) y must he wait till the end to form his blazin sword?
2) y dont d bad guys attack while he is busy forming into voltron?
3) how did this cartoon end?

Mehhnnn! I remember NEPA was too baaaad back then,I missed some episodes & school was a really sad expeience the next day.

FORM BLAZING SWORD !!!!
Tan-tan-ta-ra

i cant believe navigating nairaland and missing this thread.LLLLLOOOOORRRRDDD!!!!! Voltron had me running non-stop from school.after normal school at 2pm we had lessons till 4pm and voltron started 4-4.30 pm.i ran alot those days.i would not even wait cos from3.30 i started getting nervous.

Tan-tan-ta-ra

guy this lline fit scatter my head oo.

i also enjoyed the very real (to me o) robinhood later at 6pm.dr who 6.30, super-cop (jack stone) 7.30. victor and hugo (clapperboard saturdays) etc.

to answer some of ur questions, the wait for the blazing sword is to add affect to the end of the evil beast/ro-beast. as for the y the bad guys dont attack b4 it was formed. well, i have seen an episode where the ro-beast attacked and it cause it alot, when the lions come together, there is this force field that is generated it is super hard to breeak through. how it ended, i cant remember but it was after they found the other guy, lance, who we thought was dead and was replaced by the princess in the blue lion. but cant remember everything for sure, if i do i will holla.

@modups
well i kinda remember the last episode, (i didnt finish it tho cos nepa struck)
the bad guys attacked the castle and then the pple in the castle vexxed and after fighting off the attack they decided to retaliate and the whole castle turned into a warship(scouts honour!) they flew to the bad guys castle and there was a firefight, the last i remember is the prince and the leader of the voltron both fighting and falling down(u kno how they do it in films now, )the rest is very unclear but i know i was really tripped,

Ahh, Man, where do I start,

I was Blue Lion, we even formed a secret written language that could only be decoded by our Voltron Team.

I don't know if we are all really missing Voltron or our childhood. I'm sure kids of today will be raving about their play stations and pokeman in the next 15 years like we are now and similarly criticizing the tastes of the next generation. It's all good.

Loved Voltron, Superted, Atom ant, Danger mouse, Terrahawks, Speed racer, Fraggle Rock, Secret Service, many more

Superted


Oya pple, update

I feel sorry for kids of these days
they dont know how to have fun ooh

Sometimes most of the Voltron scenes have badly dubbed lines that would make one laugh if watched now in our era.

The one that comes to mind is a scene where Hunk (The Yellow Lion Pilot) and the rest of the Voltron Lion Team rescue a girl by the name of Twyla, an escaped slave from Planet Doom and Zarkon, Hunk wants to take the fight to Zarkon, but Keith nips the idea. But when that little slave girl plants a bomb in the missile room to blow up the castle and is stopped, the Kid Gloves are off, as the Voltron Team have to go up against, Twyla's big (butt ugly) robeast Brother ( Can Voltron get out of this alive without any of us laughing ourselves to death?)

In this scene you have Zarkon cursing the Witch Haggar for her stupidity then praising her for her stupidity! and then in the Slave girl scenes Twyla was saying "I don't want to hurt you, but if you don't stop chasing me, I will get my big brother on you, (and he's a robeast!!!) No Stay back! I'm warning you!!!, Oh look ,Here comes my big evil robeast brother now!, He will kill you all! (then having Hunk try to reason with a robeast some 200 to 2000 times larger then he is, Keith: It's too late for that, We Need VOLTRON!!!!! " (blimey! what do you think?)

Just repeat that scene where Princess Allura is laying out on a blanket, trying to get a strapless tan (and almost giving Nanny a major coronary in the process).

I'm watching voltron on youtube.com now.

That witch would mix juju and technology together.

.

nuttin compares to cartoons of way back especially voltron, muppet babies ( yes nanny) ovid video with bobo and that snake and i can still do the fraggle rock dance step, growin up was fun,will i do it again if i had the chance.in a heart beat

There were 5 lions-black,red,yellow,green,blue, which one come be pink lion??  besides na black and white tv set most of us get as at that time :-) i loved voltron sha .The black lion was my favorite-keith. cos he forms the head and controls all the other parts of the big guy, ah the blazing sword(which is pronounce "suword" by many at the time) crazy thing wud cut through anything even steel robots and the likes

My fav scenes are when they get ready to join together.

Voltron

Thank you all for bringing back the memories of VOLTRON. It was and is still the best cartoon ever not only for me but my other siblings too. Do you know we can watch voltron and forget about food. if i can get Voltron now even now that am married i will still watch it cos am a cartoon addict so is every member of my family. VOLTRON FOREVER. i wish i can pass it as a legacy to my children.
