#Armoured Fleet Dairugger XV

[ang-900]

Their relationship is so funny, anyone else get a dysfunctional father-son dynamic between them?

Bonus content from me studying how to draw them/a screenshot from the wip:

Kinda cursed, I think. ☠️

Voltron Defenders of the Universe I am a huge fan of this cartoon since I was a kid and I was lucky to hold the Iron Diecast 84 Volton model figure in my hands Beast King GoLion and Armoured Fleet Dairugger XV

"It Would Be Nice If These Damn Aliens Stopped Attacking Us So We Could Colonise This Planet" - It's Dairugger XV

“It Would Be Nice If These Damn Aliens Stopped Attacking Us So We Could Colonise This Planet” – It’s Dairugger XV

I was interested enough in Armoured Fleet Dairugger XV to keep watching past a point I’d usually give up a series that was not interesting me. It was a super robot show I was not familiar with outside of knowing that it was perhaps the biggest-crewed robot of that era of super robots (with fifteen pilots), that it was (seemingly uncharitably) parodied by Robot Chicken for the length of its stock…

What I Want To See More On Tumblr

Tumblr is a sharing/social networking blog site that has a variety of content.  However, there is content that also needs more recognition, and I see little to none of that content; probably because it is underrated and not very many users talk about or mention it.  Of course, there will be plenty of opportunities to add more content, and I still have more information that must be voiced, but it would be nice if others take action and start expanding the site with extra and unlimited content (whether it be pictures, videos, audio, photographs, artwork, fan media, quotes, chats, weblinks, entertainment and media reviews, recaps of different works, memes, tutorials, self-help, GIFs, messages, etc.) as well.

(Please note that I may also do some of these, myself, but I encourage others to do so, as well; there are plenty of users who are more skilled and knowledgeable than I am.)

When it comes to content, I leave overrated stuff alone, and yearn to increase underrated stuff, even content that may be overrated in many areas, but underrated in others.  I also encourage differing opinions of such content; people can like a certain content that others hate, and vice versa; I have no problem with that; just as long as no one harasses, bullies, trolls, denigrates, or threatens others who do not think the same way they do.

I also encourage alternative sites for content, as well as many more websites solely for entertainment purposes.

For everyone else in Tumblr, as well as many others in other websites, be creative, bring up new ideas and opinions, teach people something interesting, make what you like, encourage other people to do the same, and be cordial and respectful to one another.  I wish you the best of luck.

Yeah I love you pre-VLD iterations of Voltron, but they all have these weird lips for some reason.

Voltron: The Third Dimension (1998-2000) tries to retain these lips but due to the uncanny models in general it just doesn’t work very well. I don’t recall this one changing during battles, and if it did then the quality is too bad to tell or they just don’t emphasise it with closeups.

Vehicle Voltron (or Armoured Fleet Dairugger XV) also appears to have these lips. I’m not sure if they change with his emotions though.

Glad to see some love for these more obscure iterations.

Okay, so I have been looking at different Voltron pictures lately and been binge watching Voltron Defender of the Universe, and I have been realizing, that back in 1984, they made Voltron have actual lips. I mean, look at the head, look at his lips and you will see that he has full lips that actually move, I'm pretty sure, on their own. Then you look at the head to Voltron Force's (2011) head:

The Voltron in 2011 also seems to have defined lips as well, not as big as the 1984 version, but you can see that the artist did make sure to put it on there. But then if you were to compare the head to Voltron Legendary Defender Voltron's head:

You see that his lips are thin, like an actual robot's, and I'm pretty sure, they always stays in that frown whereas back in 1984, the Voltron's expression changed depending on the situation.

Just something that I have been thinking about...

[ang-900]

The Original Voltron Adaptations Vs Their Original Japanese Counterparts.

Beast King Go-Lion:

Go-Lion/Voltron's backstory is that he got split due to his hubris after thinking he could take on the space goddess.

Voltron is a sentient being who lived long before time.

Voltron's title is king of the beasts.

All the pilots, save Fala/Allura, are from Earth.

All the boys are effectively in the same boat as VLD Shiro and have the gladiator backstory.

Earth is dead and gone, consumed by World War 3 by the start of the show.

Allura is canonically 16.

Raible/Coran's a strategist.

Altea/Arus's people were assumed to all be destroyed (especially the royal family), but they're all hiding out.

Allura's parents and siblings are executed by Daibazaal/Zarkon's hand while she was a year old baby. Zarkon didn't know she existed.

Hiroshi Suzuishi/Pidge is descended from Ninja.

There's so much blood and gore. People get cut in half vertically and horizontally. We get the privilege of watching people drop dead on screen with these horrifying faces and screams. Zarkon and Sincline/Lotor drink blood, too.

Honerva/Haggar has this bs called occult science.

Akira Kogane/Keith and Allura are so slowburn to the point it might not exist between them.

King Raimon/Alfor's ghost comes back from the grave to tell the paladins how much they suck.

Pidge threatens to eat the space mice twice.

Shirogane Takashi/Sven dies and and a later episode introduces his younger brother, Ryou/Sven, who was captured as a slave among others before Earth was fully destroyed.

Cannibalism

A tragic side character commits suicide at the end of an episode

Amue/Romelle's older brother is willingly turned into a robeast. Her older brother and father are both murdered by the Galra during a battle with Voltron.
