Voltron has been going under a resurgence of lately, with the popular Netflix animated series “Voltron: Legendary Defender” picking up a second season soon after its first launched. DreamWorks Animation, who produce the series, were originally also in possession of the Live-Action rights to Voltron, and when they were acquired by Universal, it was officially moved over to their live action department.

Netflix and DreamWorks Animation have revealed the first Voltron trailer, which you can watch in the player below. In the series, the five heroes get their own lion bots and become “the last line of defense for Arus and other planets against an evil alien force led by King Zarkon.”
“We’re trying to keep as much of that classic feel to it as we can, because ultimately we have huge amounts of nostalgia for (the original) show,” co-executive producer Lauren Montgomery told USA Today. Continue reading
In our next versus round up we have kick ass combined robots! Voltron vs Devastator! Who combined as their giant earth moving robots beats the other? Voltron (lions) or the transformers construction bots, Devastator! So with that said who would destroy the other! We will let you decide!
The Voltron Lion Force (aka Voltron III and Voltron of the Far Universe) is the incarnation of Voltron composed of five mighty robot lions. Piloted by a team of intrepid space explorers and a princess, the Voltron Lion Force defends the planet of Arus against the hungry ambitions of King Zarkon's kingdom on Planet Doom.
This incarnation of Voltron was adapted from the Japanese Beast King Golion television show. Due to its success, the story and team has evolved beyond this origin into more original directions.
As Voltron was always marketed as a single series, "Lion Force" is not a canonical name, but is widely-used in the fandom to distinguish this incarnation from the others. Another common nickname is "Lion Voltron".
Devastator is an immensely powerful warrior, and in that sense the combination of the Constructicons into a merged being is a huge success. Mentally, on the other hand, he's very much less than the sum of his parts. Devastator's primitive psyche is limited to only the thoughts and actions on which all his components can agree, which results in raging bouts of destructive fury. Given the sheer power Devastator brings to these rages, Megatron has no complaints.
As an Action Master, he is partnered with Scorpulator.
Normally he is composed of the six robots...
• Scrapper (leader) — right leg
• Hook — upper body
• Bonecrusher — left arm
• Long Haul — lower body
• Mixmaster — left leg
• Scavenger — right arm
However, in at least one reality, he goes from being a six-robot combiner to a five-bot one, Hook and Mixmaster being replaced by Hightower. In another, he is rebuilt with a modular design that allows Hook to replace Scrapper as the right leg, and any robot built with a compatible design to form the head, including Prowl and Megatron.
