From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend. The legend of Voltron: Defender of the Universe! A mighty robot, loved by good, feared by evil. A force of space explorers, Kieth, Lance, Hunk, Pidge, and Sven are sent to find the last princess of planet Arus, Allura, and the keys to Voltron. Together they find the five robot lions that make up the legendary robot. King Zarkon, an evil warlord, rains down destruction across the universe. But our heroes form Voltron at the last moment, and begin a new war against his cruel empire...Lol

Myself and my brother will sit in front of our old TV waiting for 4:00pm when NTA will start. First multiple colors will display on the TV. We always get excited when we saw that, then comes the national anthem and then a break down of all that will happen for the day.

Good old days!

Same here!
Those multicolour vertical lines - like a vertical rainbow 🌈 - made us happy and showed that the station would open soon. Then the anthem, then the Duty Continuity Announcer would read the programmme schedule till midnight when the station would close...

Easily the best action cartoon of all time. We used to steal downstairs at 5pm on Tuesdays for it when my dad was having siesta. Once we hear him waking up, we would all take off to our study table upstairs and be cursing our bad luck.

You've just brought back some of my childhood memories, during those days there was a girl in my class at Adisa Bashua primary school surulere Lagos who has it as a toy, it was fascinating seeing my darling Voltron on the desk of my and it was fun seeing her dismantle the robot into five huge lions. I never forget how I kept record of the time and days Voltron and other programs are aired, it was so much fun.
This is not an affair of Indomie generations cannot relate because Indomie came into existence in the late 80's. I ate it as a child

Make I try something, hope I still remember

From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend; the legend of Voltron, defender of the universe, a mighty robot, loved by good, feared by evil. As Voltron's legend grew, peace settled across the galaxy. On Planet Earth, a galaxy alliance was formed. Together with the good planets of the solar system, they maintained peace throughout the universe, until a new horrible menace threatened the galaxy. Voltron was needed once more. This is the story of the super force of space explorers, specially trained and sent by the alliance to bring back VOLTRON, DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE

The story of voltron never seemed to end.
There was one episode that a robeast blocked Voltron's blazing sword for the first time.
It think that story lasted for about 3 or so episodes. I never remember the end of it.
-
Anyway, in recent times, Dreamworks made a version.
Voltron Legendary Defender.
The graphics are on point. Voltron is even behaving like IronMan somehow. l
But the story is not just sweet like the original Voltron.

Voltron: Defender of the Universe

Thanks to YouTube and other video sharing platforms, we can still watch these cartoons and hugely popular programs like we did when we were younger back in the 1970s and early to late 1980s... Surreal. That's mad cool though.
