Okay I'm thinking about this again and went into the notes (mistake, I know) but want to discuss a bit more.

So OP is noticing a divide in how fans engage with voltron versus other mecha, and while as a fan of big robots I obviously agree the robot should've gotten more attention, I do think it's kind of ahistorical to complain about right and wrong ways of engaging with mecha anime (not that I think OP is necessarily doing that, but I saw some of that in the notes) when the original Gundam 0079 run was explicitly stated by Tomino to be kept alive by young female fans who were making transformative fanworks of charma.

That said, the amount of people noting that they don't see a lot of fanart or attention paid to X robot franchise's mecha is missing part of the picture? Mecha in the JP market are and always have been vehicles for selling toys, and their success is gauged by toy/figure and dvd/bluray sales. that's ultimately the goal and it permeates into the story structure of the genre. While I'm sure there were targets for toy sales for VLD, I wonder whether streaming numbers were much more of a target (someone who is more familiar with the industry should come correct me on this) and that does fundamentally change what the writers and marketing team are directed to prioritize.

Also like. have you seen commission pages in general? a lack of fanart on the mech doesnt necessarily mean no one likes it, it just means no one wants to spend their relaxation time trying to draw mecha hahaha.

Weekend sketch prompt (Vehicle Voltron):

Ginger and Lisa enjoy ship leave in a fey alien lagoon.

(I ship them, but platonic is fine too)

I wish there had been more set up for the girls in VV, ah well we will have to make it up ourselves!

I'm only a little afraid to try and replicate the vehicle voltron background style

A picture I posted on deviantART a month ago. Chip from voltron! He's in a really warm universe right now but that won't stop some angry aliens from being cold.

What do you mean s5-6 didn’t go like this

I wanted to appreciate the ladies of Vehicle Voltron a bit. So, I went about looking at screenshots and redrawing them in the style for my VV/VLD AU.  I’m gonna be honest, I really like the Vehicle team. I love how distinct and different the characters are. And I love that the girls all look so different from one another and do their parts to help with the team, even keeping them in line it seems.  So! Here’s the the ladies! 

I’m going to be honest, I liked the slight changes made to the characters, from uniform design to appearances. I definitely had changes for Cinda. I had the basics, but with changes, especially the ears and hands, showing more like she is from a water planet as is said in the cartoon. And the spot on her forehead, making it a bit different works, too. 

Also! I wanted to give a shoutout to @voltronfandomhag​. You do wonderful work with providing information on the characters that has helped me so much in my research. You also provide wonderful screenshots. I was gladly able to check the screenshots you shared of these ladies to use for my redraw. Thank you very much. 

Anyway! I hope y’all enjoy these. Until next time.

So for any OK KO fans, the Hue Troop are an obvious parody of Power Rangers/Super Sentai, though people make Voltron comparisons too...there’s just one problem, of all the fanart I’ve seen of the Hue Troop and their vehicles, none of them show a combined robot mode. I’ve decided to correct that, and created this, the Hue Troop’s Megaborg!

More Vehicle Voltron Insanity because I have no soul

Gotham Burgers and the Talk of Home

Here’s another fanfic and fanart that I did on Shiro from VLD and the Red Hood/Jason Todd from The Batman. It goes something like this:

Between the clear nights of Gotham and the mix of human ruckus and machinery of automobiles and heavy construction vehicles way below on the streets, lies the top buildings and roofs. Whether Gotham General Hospital or Wayne Tower, every roof top from the end of slums to the filthy rich penthouse, holds its secrets hideout and room of endless escapism. It was to no surprise that sightings of the Red Robin, a fierce urban legend that said to be haunting the many roofs of Gotham City, were most common at any near crime scene. He won’t be far. Murderers, robbers, rapist and the occasional corrupted banker and politicians were best be warned. The Red Robin won’t be far.

Both of them made it far enough from the clutches of the lunatic Scarecrow. They saved the gauntlet, and the ending mission was a success. Shiro couldn’t stop smiling to the vigilante, whom many fear except for a few. Few that believes in justice and death. For those who do not fear death, does not fear the Red Robin.

“Here, take this,” on his hands were paper bags, slightly greasy and torn, “Rest. You need it.”

Sat on the cold, concrete floor, Shiro took the bags and placed it aside. He rubbed his robotic arm and the stings that’s been endangering the mission had long gone. Knocking on it for a few times seems to do the job. He wished he could take it off, but this dimension did not have the technology especially a Galra one. Of course, even if this is Earth, this is a different Earth. He came to like it. This Gotham City.

“What is it?” he opens the bags and took out a rounded aluminum foil. It smells unlike anything. It smells good!

“Gotham’s best burger, probably the best in the world. Eat it. Bet your sorry ass version of Earth ain’t having this beast!” and The Red Robin took a huge chunk of his burger. He sat on the chimneys, soot cleaned away. Shiro unwrapped it, and took a bite. He can’t believe that the bloodthirsty anti-hero is speaking the truth. The burger, as Shiro making out its flavour of lettuces, tomatoes, an inch-thick beef patty and slices of cheese with a sauce he didn’t know, is a scrumptious. Back at the Garrison, Shiro never had these despite classmates invited him over. He was never that adventurous for food.

“Actually, you’re right. This is so good!” Shiro took another bite, “I never had any burger before in my life!”

“Shit, you are living in a sorry-ass Earth after all! Either that or you’re just a boring leader Shiro!” he took a small laugh at his tease. Shiro took another bite and looked into the stars above. Its scattered, yet its there.

Jason saw him being quiet,and felt bad for the guy, “Look, Shiro I wasn’t gonna make you all sad,” he took another sip of the soda, almost half-empty. “You miss home. I get it. We got your bayonet, now its just waiting for the right moment, right? The moment you return to the place you came from” Shiro shook his head, looking at the figure sitting higher than him. The chimney no longer smokes, but the skies were filled them, leaving a patch for the stars. “We’ll just wait then. I’ll wait for you.”

Shiro had been meaning to ask this since he encountered Jason in the park. He didn’t look in the eye, “Do you, uh, have a home, Jason? Where do you live? Do you have a family?” and Shiro took another bite. Jason was taken aback and looked at the guy, his back turned. Another sip, another bite.

“Yeah, like yours Shiro. I have four other brothers like me. Orphans. Taken in by our father. They, uh, a part of my life too. Just like your Voltron family.”

Shiro turns and smiled. Jason smiled back. The burgers are left with crumbs and the foil.

“I am gonna miss the burger Jason,” and Shiro sees Jason smiled again. The bayonet glows. It is time.

“Say hey to your family,” Jason stood up as the light gleamed from the bayonet, “thanks for sticking around.”

And Shiro’s smile was the last thing the ruthless vigilante saw. The winds blew the wrappers away, along the cloud that now covers the last patch of stars above.

Oh happy day!

Hazar and Dorma, iconic space siblings, now in chibi form!  Photo taken right before toppling the Drule government, probably.

What, what d’ya know, I finished the Vehicle Voltron section of the show. Episodes 46 through 52. Some episodes I didn’t end up writing notes down with my thoughts, but that’s fine.  So, shall we continue?

Episode 46. I’ll admit, I was hopeful at the mention of meeting with ex-leaders. I wasn’t surprise to find out that it was just another plan to try and stop Voltron and company. Oh well, to be expected. 

Episode 47 at first caught me by surprise when other Drules were kidnapping Dorma. But at the mention of not wanting soldiers finding them made me hopeful for them to be Hazar supporters. Having rebel Drules is grand! Makes me think of VLD with the Galran rebels in the Blade of Marmora. 

Ah, here we go, episode 48.  Throk: “The rebels are a bunch of weaklings.”  Robot: “The rebels just defeated one of our best battalions.”  Ah, that comedic timing.  And then the mine attaching itself to Ginger’s ship. First off, I personally don’t know if I’d cry. I’d probably shout some expletive's myself, but I’m far from PG, let alone PG-13 at times. And if this were Pidge? He’d probably be “wanna find out if Hell exists? Let’s go together!” and crash right into the enemy. I’m sure the chaotic kid would do that. Yeah, ship exploding, crash landing, unable to focus, memory issues, tired... I’m no doctor, but I think she could have at least a concussion. And really shouldn’t go back to sleep after a battle with that. Someone get Ginger to the med bay!

Okay, no notes on 49, so we’ll skip to 50! And if I leater told me to trust them, that the planet definitely was NOT going to explode, and that it was pretty much just traitor propaganda... I wouldn’t be inclined to trust them. Then again, I don’t trust many people myself, but that’s besides the point.  And I admire Hawkins, wanting to save the Drule people at any cost. This be a good man right here.  And Throk’s bringing out all the shiny new toys to stop the Alliance and Voltron.  Earthquake and a robeast falls down the crevice into lava. Bye bitch! “And those robeasts are gone. Thank goodness we don’t have to worry about them.”  You just had to jinx it, didn’t you? Robeast crawling out like “surprise, bitch!” 

Hi episode 51. By episode 51. Hi episode 52. Evacuation time. Time to get the hell off of a time bomb of a planet. And it’s cute seeing the vehicle team working hard to help the others.  But unable to get everyone on the first ships was really breaking my heart. And they’re just so scared!  Commander Steele is ready to take a risk for the sake of the Drule, wanting to help out. Good on you, commander! Good luck! And when he and the reinforcements arrived, I actually teared up a bit. 

But the tear was gone quickly because of Chip. He was adorable rubbing his eyes. And then his glasses fell down his face. I couldn’t be emotional seeing that, it just made me grin.  And seeing Hazar shed that tear.  Enjoy your new home, everyone! Be at peace!

I really enjoyed this. Getting to see the vehicle team in action. It makes me wish we got more seasons of VLD or a spinoff to have the vehicle team or even actual Chip, not a robot as an Easter egg, in VLD. But alas, it isn’t so. But that’s why some of us write fanfics and draw fanart.  Anyway! Going back to this. I definitely enjoyed this. Yes, I probably missed parts and what could have been references in VLD, but that’s what happens when I’m multitasking with drawing.  I think one of my favourite parts with this was the villains. In the lion force, villains are pretty much black and white, there were no in betweens and changing, at least not that I remember/noticed. But here, we saw the change in others. It was nice. And it feels like VLD probably got inspo from that when working with the Galra. I like to think that and I love it. 

Anyway, that concludes Vehicle Voltron. I should be able to start season three tomorrow. So excited!  Well, until next time!
