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 superforce of space explorers.
Specially trained,
And sent by the alliance
To bring back....VOLTRONDefender of the Universe.

Loved this show as a kid.
I wouldn't be opposed to have a reboot done, provided they keep the classic theme and set to finish the series and not go the way Thundercats 2011 did leaving us hanging halfway through the series. (Damn you Cartoon Network)

Or said space explorers could also have been... "Entrusted by the Alliance, With the ancient secret of how to assemble... VOLTRON, defender of the universe."

Anyone pick up that History of Voltron book that came out last year? I skimmed through it at the bookstore. It's well written and gives a lot of information on the series, as well as all the other versions (which weren't actually Voltron outside the US). Including this one, which I actually wanted when I was a kid.

I really wonder why the bad guys in that show never got the message that the giant robot thing wasn't working out.

Sure, she had some faults about her, but she had some good qualities about her. Or are you talking about his brother. Which in case, he was kind of a dick. Granted, he died too.

But I feel that Golion was much better than Voltron.

I remember when people were convinced Cloverfield was a Voltron movie for some reason.

Cloverfield would have been awesome if it was Cloverfiend Monster vs Voltron, and you replaced the Clover monster with Godzilla. And replaced the found-footage parts with traditional footage. And replaced the small monsters with xenomorphs. And replaced the main characters with the Ghostbusters.
