Cadets

The three cadets are recruited by the Voltron Force to help battle evil when Lotor returns. The three cadets have a hyperactive nature and irrating egos at first, causing them to be burdens to the original pilots, but they gradually mature during their training. They needed to learn navigation, hand-to-hand combat, tactical combat, strategies, science, and trusting each other. The three cadets tended to work by themselves and think individually, but they begin to learn by working together, they can be able to piloting the Lions.

Contents

  • Daniel (voiced by Vincent Tong): Exclusive to Voltron Force, he is one of three new cadets for the Voltron Force. Of Asian descent, he and Vince were once cadets for the Galaxy Alliance, but were selected to be cadets for the Voltron Force due to their piloting skills. He also has a liking for going fast. This is evident by his VoltCom powers, which he can use to accelerate the speed of the Voltron lions, Voltron's formation sequence and Voltron himself. He's kind of impulsive, always getting into trouble; although many of his antics are beneficial to the success of Voltron Force. He sometimes gets jealous of Vince and Larmina because of their connections to Voltron, and tends to feel left out of the group. He was also jealous when Larmina became the first cadet to become a member of the Voltron Force instead of him. Daniel is often picked on by Larmina. Even so, he tends to worry for her and appreciates her company. There is a very strong possibility that he has a crush on Larmina but does his best to keep it under lock and key. Daniel's mind was once trapped within Voltron, forcing Vince to head into Voltron to rescue him. Because of this event, Daniel becomes able to talk to Vince telepathically and the two are able to share VoltCom powers. However, Daniel also developed a Haggarium infection because of this, leading to increased rage and terrible visions. Due to his Haggarium infection, Daniel was able to see into the mind of Lotor, using this ability to lead Voltron in combat to defeat him once and for all, curing the infection. Because of this display of leadership, Keith steps down as Black Lion pilot to Daniel in order to become King of Arus, fulfilling Daniel's childhood dream. However, due to him becoming overconfident in the series finale, he was forced to give the title back to Keith. Keith telling Daniel that the leader of the Voltron Force was something that had to be earned, but Keith told Daniel that he knows that Daniel will be ready one day. At the end of the finale, his Haggarium infection returns while piloting the Black Lion and it makes him attack the other lions.
  • Vince (voiced by Doron Bell Jr.): Exclusive to Voltron Force, he is one of three new cadets for the Voltron Force. Of African descent, he and Daniel were once cadets for the Galaxy Alliance, but were selected to be cadets for the Voltron Force due to their piloting skills. He also has impressive technical skills which helps Pidge out a lot and appears to have some kind of power that links him to Voltron. The reason of why Vince has it is currently unknown, but it has been revealed that the Voltron lions have programming that enables them to use Vince's power as a "Key" to allow Voltron to accomplish special functions when the situation calls for it, particularly to make new formations of Voltron with new powers by reconfiguring itself with a different lion to form the main body while having the black lion form a limb. This explains the true nature of Vince's power, and particularly why it tends to act on its own. It is possible that Vince is a direct descendant of the original creators of Voltron, who may also have had similar powers. Vince can use his power under his own will, but sometimes it takes a lot of concentration and effort. However, Vince is keeping his powers a secret from the Voltron Force because he does not truly understand it and he thinks he can figure it out himself. After Vince rescued Daniel's consciousness from within Voltron, the two are able to communicate telepathically and share VoltCom powers. Eventually, Pidge hands over officially piloting the Green Lion to Vince to remain in constant control of the castle's defenses.
  • Larmina (Voiced by Shannon Chan-Kent): Exclusive to Voltron Force, she is one of three new cadets for the Voltron Force. She is very skilled in hand-to-hand combat and is Allura's niece. While Allura is unmarried and an only child, the original Voltron series twice featured Allura's surviving aunt, Queen Orla. It is possible that Queen Orla is Larmina's mother, with 'Aunt' being a title of respect to an elder cousin. However, according to a recent book, Larmina is actually the offspring of Allura's older brother, Aldus. Larmina enjoys a good fight and hates to be left out of the action. She does not always think things through and is unskilled at piloting. Larmina is often teasing Daniel with insults. This may be a result of her hiding her crush on him as it is depicted at the ending of the episode Predator Robeast she had snapped various pictures of him and flirts. In various other episodes it shows them bonding, getting closer, and flirting. Larmina officially takes over piloting the Blue Lion after Allura resigns to be queen.

Vehicle Team Voltron (Rugger Team)

Air Team (Aki Team)

Air Team uniforms are dark blue, yellow, and white.

  • Jeff (Aki Manabu) (voiced by Neil Ross): North American-accented leader of the entire Vehicle Force and commander of the Air Team, Jeff is head-strong, occasionally quick-tempered, yet still a great fighter and a very capable leader, even if he does not always follow the rules. Although dialogue early in the series hints at something going on between him and Ginger, later episodes suggest a relationship between him and Lisa. He pilots the Command Jet Explorer (#1), which becomes the head of Voltron. In Fleet of Doom, it is revealed that Jeff and Keith had a friendly rivalry in their academy days.
  • Rocky (Kai Shinobu) (voiced by Lennie Weinrib): Italian-accented member of the Air Team who loves to eat. He pilots the Strato Weapons Module (#2) that forms the upper body of Voltron. Rocky was a sparring partner of Hunk in their academy days.
  • Wolo (Shota Kreutz): An alien, blue-skinned member of the Air Team who is generally not prominently featured in the series. Wolo is quiet and introspective and is prone to daydreaming. He pilots the Advanced Recon Helicopter (#3) that becomes the right upper arm of Voltron.
  • Chip (Yasuo Mutsu) (voiced by Neil Ross in the 1980s series, Gabe Khouth in the 2011 series): Member of the Air Team, and the youngest member of the Vehicle Voltron Force. Chip is Pidge's twin brother (Though not in the Dairugger series). Although not often prominently featured except in one episode, Chip can be described as the brains of the Vehicle Force, much like Pidge is to the Lion Force. He pilots the Advanced Recon Helicopter (#4) that becomes the left upper arm of Voltron. Chip appears in the final episode of Voltron: Legendary Defender as Pidge's robot companion.
  • Ginger (Patty Ellington) (Voiced By B.J. Ward): Member of the Air Team. She is a brave, strong-willed pilot, at one point electing to enter a battle despite having a severe concussion.

He is the pilot of the Communications Module (#6) that becomes the torso mid-riff section of Voltron.
  • Lisa (Haruka Kaga) (voiced by B.J. Ward): Kind and compassionate member of the Sea Team, Lisa is wise beyond her years. She is very knowledgeable of ancient cultures, and always seems to know the right thing to say to others. She is in an undefined relationship with Jeff. Lisa pilots the Space Prober (#7) that becomes the right thigh of Voltron.
  • Tangor (Saruka Katz) One of the members of the Vehicle Voltron Force who is usually treated as an underused background character. Tangor pilots the Space Prober (#8) that forms the left thigh of Voltron.
  • Shannon (Tatsuo Izumo) (voiced by Michael Bell): Irish-accented member of the Sea Team. Like Ginger, he too fights for a noble cause, as his brother is a prisoner of the Drule Empire on Planet Doom. Blunt and opinionated, Shannon is noticeably more cynical and less optimistic than his teammates. He pilots the Multi-Wheeled Explorer (#9) that becomes the right lower leg of Voltron.
  • Zandee (Barros Karateya): Another member of the Vehicle Voltron Force who is usually treated as a barely used background character. Zandee pilots the Multi-Wheeled Explorer (#10) that becomes the left lower leg of Voltron.

Land Team uniforms are red and white.

  • Cliff (Walter Jack) (voiced by Lennie Weinrib): Cliff is the leader of the Land Team. He has an Australian accent, and tends to have a wry sense of humor. Cliff is generally laid-back in nature, but is not afraid to confront others or voice his opinion when necessary. He pilots the Jet Radar Station (#11) that forms the lower torso/hips of Voltron. It is later revealed that Lance and Wolo once yanked Cliff into a pool as a way of welcoming him to the academy.
  • Cinda (Moya Kirigas) (voiced by B.J. Ward): Member of the Land Team. Like Lisa, she too is kind and compassionate. Cinda is athletic, at one point able to easily scale an escarpment.

  • Modok (Mack Chukker) (voiced by Michael Bell): Large member of the Land Team, who can best be described as a "gentle giant." However he can be reckless at times, not always following protocol. Modok pilots the Armored Equipment Carrier (#13) that forms the left forearm of Voltron.
  • Marvin (Tasuku Izu) (voiced by Michael Bell): Member of the Land Team, Marvin is often seen together with his good friend Hutch, either playing cards or brawling with him. Marvin typically is the team's source of comic-relief. He pilots the All-Terrain Space Vehicle (#14) that forms the right foot of Voltron.
  • Hutch (Kazuto Nagato) (voiced by Peter Cullen): Member of the Land Team, Hutch is often seen together with his good friend Marvin, either playing cards or brawling with him.

Lion Voltron (Golion)

A sentient robot created by King Alfor on Arus to fight against the armies of Planet Doom.[ citation needed ] Among Voltron's weapons are the Spinning Laser Blade, Lion Head Attack, Lion Torches, Sting Ray Missiles, Ion Darts, Eye Beams, Electro-Force Cross, Lion Lariat, Electro-Saber, Argon Force Field, and the Blazing Sword, his ultimate weapon. Voltron was later separated into the five Lions by Haggar.[ citation needed ] In the first-season finale of The Third Dimension, Voltron was destroyed, but recreated in the beginning of the second season, and would go on to be reconfigured into Stealth Voltron whenever he passed into another dimension.

In Voltron Force, due to Vince's mysterious powers, Voltron can reconfigure himself with a different lion to form the main body while the Black Lion becomes a limb. Additionally, Voltron can use Daniel's VoltCom powers to boost the speed of the lions, his formation sequence and himself. With Larmina's VoltCom powers, Voltron gains improved hand-to-hand combat skills and a Blazing Katana which he wields alongside his Blazing Sword. Also revealed in Voltron Force is that many planets have had connections to Voltron's creation – Arus, Earth, Balto, and Ariel.

In Legendary Defender, Voltron was the ultimate weapon in the universe created by the inhabitants of Altea and Daibazaal but was scattered across the universe on Alfor's order to keep it out of the hands of the Galra Empire. The Black Lion remained inside the Castle of Lions, inaccessible unless the other four were recovered, while the other four were hidden on various planets, with the Blue Lion ending up on Earth. The Red Lion was later found and captured by the Galrans, but rescued by Keith after he bonded with it. These versions of the Voltron Lions will only bond with particular pilots, with the Red Lion notably refusing to bond with Keith until he had proven himself. In this version it was Allura herself who created Voltron, [3] and her life force is tied to the giant robot and its Lion components all the while her father, Alfor created the Black Lion. Each Lion has the ability to fire laser blasts, and each provides a unique weapon to the united Voltron form that is unlocked by each Paladin's use of their Bayard; a massive sword can also be formed by combining all of the Bayards except the black one. When the Black Bayard is returned, the sword is revealed to take on the form of the Blazing Sword.

  • Black Lion (Kurojishi): Piloted by Keith in the original series, the Black Lion forms the main body of Voltron. Later piloted by Allura in two episodes before being piloted by Daniel in Voltron Force. In Legendary Defender it is piloted by Shiro, having originally been piloted by Zarkon prior to his corruption, and is also briefly piloted by Keith. Unlike the other Lions, the Black Lion did not have a "closed" hangar. Throughout the series, the Black Lion's hangar is located on the large tower fronting the castle, which was previously occupied by a winged lion statue which hid it. When the Black Lion was first activated, this statue crumbled apart to reveal it, and the Black Lion folded its seldom-used wings. Among its various weapons are a Plasma Blaster, Cross Beam, Shoulder Cannon, Mouth Dagger, and a full array of Mk.1 Fang Missiles. In Voltron: The Third Dimension, it is shown that the winged lion statue literally morphs into the Black Lion when the lion is launched. In Voltron Force, Black Lion gains a "Tail Shock" and its hangar is the central tower of the castle, which opens to deploy the Black Lion. Additionally, the "default" configuration of Voltron is also known as Black Center. In all media, when the Black Lion forms the body of Voltron, his weapon is the Blazing Sword. In Legendary Defender the Black Lion was created from a comet that crashlanded on Emperor Zarkon's home planet.

  • Red Lion (Akajishi): Piloted by Lance, the Red Lion forms the right arm of Voltron. Later piloted by Princess Allura in one episode since Lance was using the Blue Lion to find the cure for the deadly flowers. Piloted by Keith in Legendary Defender. The Red Lion's hangar is located inside a volcano near the castle. Among its weapons are Dual Shoulder Triple Barrel Mortars, Lava Cannon, Mk.1 Fang Missiles, and a Curved Mouth Dagger. In Voltron Force, Red Lion gains a "Sub-Infrared Thermographic Optics", "Precision Laser" and can form the body of Voltron (known as Red Center) which uses the "Magma Pistols". In Red Center configuration, the Black Lion is Voltron's right arm.

    • Reconfiguration command (Voltron Force only): Form Red Center
    • Legendary Defender features: Fastest of the lions, fire breath, laser cannon on back, produces sword unlocked by the Red Bayard.
  • Green Lion (Midonjishi): Piloted by Pidge, the Green Lion forms the left arm of Voltron. Piloted by Keith in its first launch before the Black Lion was recovered, and has now been passed down to Vince in Voltron Force. The Green Lion's hangar is located in a forest near the castle. Among its weapons are Dual Shoulder Turret Guns, Mouth Dagger, and Mk.1 Fang Missiles. In Voltron Force, Green Lion gains a "3D Digital-Camouflage" stealth package, "Sonic Blaster", "Shuriken Tail",+kl "Boomerang Blade" and can form the body of Voltron (known as Green Center) which gives Voltron a Tech Ninja look with a "Boomerang Shield". In Green Center configuration, the Black Lion is Voltron's left arm. In Legendary Defender Pidge refers to the Green Lion as female, similar to how the character of Pidge is reimagined as a girl in the series.
    • Weapon form command (Voltron Force only): Form Boomerang Shield
    • Reconfiguration command (Voltron Force only): Form Green Center
    • Legendary Defender features: Cloaking mode installed by Pidge, energy cannon that causes spontaneous plant life growth, unknown weapon unlocked by the Green Bayard.
  • Blue Lion (Aojishi): Originally piloted by Sven until Allura became its official pilot; later passed down to Larmina in Voltron Force. Piloted by Lance in Legendary Defender. The Blue Lion forms the right leg of Voltron. Piloted in one episode each by Keith, Coran, and Nanny together, and a replacement pilot (who turned out to be an agent of Zarkon). Piloted once by Lance when he went off to a distant planet to find the cure by which to heal the Princess. Lance piloted the Blue Lion because the planet had a special magnetic field that only the Blue Lion could overcome. The Blue Lion's hangar is located underneath the moat that surrounds the castle. Among its weapons are Dual Shoulder Blockbuster Turrets, Mk.1 Fang Missiles, Sidewinder Claw Torpedoes, and a Holy Mouth Dagger. In Voltron Force, Blue Lion gains a "Freeze Ray" and can form the body of Voltron (known as Blue Center) which uses the "Titanic Trident", a double-ended trident. In Blue Center configuration, the Black Lion is Voltron's right leg. It is also shown to perform better underwater than the other lions, similar to the way black lion appears to fly faster than the other lions.
    • Weapon form command (Voltron Force only): Form Titanic Trident
    • Reconfiguration command (Voltron Force only): Form Blue Center
    • Legendary Defender features: Ice blasts, unknown weapon unlocked by the Blue Bayard.
  • Yellow Lion (Kijishi): Piloted by Hunk, the Yellow Lion forms the left leg of Voltron. The Yellow Lion's hangar is located inside a lion-shaped cave located in a desert near the castle. Among its weapons are its Plasma Flash Cannon, Radial Shogun Shoulder Blasters, Mk.1 Fang Missiles, and a Mouth Dagger. In Voltron: The Third Dimension, its hangar was redesigned to resemble a sphinx-like form instead of an ordinary cave. In Voltron Force, Yellow Lion gains a "Vibration Cannon", "Switchblade Claw Hammer", and a "Demolition Tail" as well as a prominent underbite which helps serve as a land plower and can form the body of Voltron (known as Yellow Center) which uses the "Wrecking Maces" twin flails. Voltron Yellow Center has the unique ability to deploy solar cell wings and recharge the robot when he's away from Planet Arus. In Yellow Center configuration, the Black Lion is Voltron's left leg. When Yellow Center is active, the background music is played in a more rock-inspired style, mirroring Hunk's personality.
    • Weapon form command (Voltron Force only): Rock Wrecking Maces ("Form Blazing Something" the first time)
    • Reconfiguration command (Voltron Force only): Form Yellow Center
    • Legendary Defender features: Heaviest armor of the lions, additional claws and a jet booster, shoulder cannon unlocked by the Yellow Bayard capable of single or multi-shots.

Vehicle Voltron (Dairugger)

In the Devil's Due comic series, Vehicle Voltron was created by the Galaxy Garrison after abducting Voltron from Arus and reverse-engineering it under orders from a Drule spy.[ volume & issue needed ] The machine was named "V-15" within the comics, and was first deployed after Voltron to recapture him until they received new orders to support him.[ volume & issue needed ] Among its weapons are the Solar Combat Spears, Ray Beam Whip, Electro-thermal Blast, Eye Beams, Wing Beam, Solar Wind Blast, and the Spinning Laser Blades which are used as precursor to the Blazing Sword. Unlike the animated series, which depicted the two Voltron Forces as being family members, as with Chip and Pidge, or longstanding friends, the Devil's Due comic showed Keith and Jeff as having an antagonistic relationship with one another due to Lion Voltron's accidental "sneak attack" on Vehicle Voltron during the robots' first battle together.[ volume & issue needed ]

Allies

Voltron Lion Force

  • Chief Kalon: Exclusive to Voltron Force, Kalon is an ancient lion protector or Lion Rider of Planet Ariel. He and his lion riders protect the Krelshi, ghostly beasts that are an essential part of Ariel's "harmonious spiritual aura". After Voltron Force helps him maintain order with the Krelshi, he is in their debt. During Keith's plan to rescue political prisoners from "The Void", he is surprised when he finds Kalon in the "Black Hole" cell with him and plans to make his escape. In the final battle with Sky Marshall Wade, Kalon and his lion riders help out in the fight destroying Wade's robots in the process and takes Wade's pet lion into custody wondering why he was raised in such an evil way.
  • Coran Hieronymus Wimbleton Smythe (Strategist Raible) (voiced by Peter Cullen in the 1980s series, Michael Bell in the 1990s series, Ron Halder in the 2011 series, and Rhys Darby in the 2016 reboot series) Coran is Allura's royal advisor, in charge of the Castle Control, current Galaxy Alliance Ambassador from Arus and President of the Galaxy Garrison Council. He also advises the Voltron Force, and is very wise, though he can be very overprotective and opinionated at times. An example of this is in "The Lion Has New Claws" where he tied up Princess Allura just to stop her from piloting the Blue Lion. This could imply that he made a promise to Allura's father, King Althor to keep her safe, even if he goes to far. He is the commander of the Castle of Lions crew, once the Castle became battle-worthy, and especially once it transforms into the Flying Fortress. In Voltron: The Third Dimension, Coran remains the same as before but is now more affiliated with the Galaxy Alliance. His biggest role in that series came when the Voltron Force was on trial for treason; he spoke in their defense, which resulted in the Alliance finding them not guilty. In Voltron Force, he represents Planet Arus in the Galaxy Alliance and was the most vocal about reactivating Voltron when it was proven that Lotor had returned. Due to the Alliance being under the control of Sky Marshall Wade's regime, he has returned to Castle Control.
In Legendary Defender Coran is Princess Allura's advisor and the last known surviving male Altean in the universe following the destruction of their home solar system. Coran is noted for being somewhat foppish, goofy, and very much a traditionalist. He is often forgetful that the current Paladins have different customs, diets, and behaviors, but is at his core a dedicated and kind man. Though he comes off as kind of a ditz at times, Coran is a man of great experience. Coran is very concerned for the well being of the Paladins and Allura, as he is often trying his hardest to ensure that they are adequately fed, rested, and at peace.
  • Princess Farla (Aimee): Farla is the princess of Planet Lyra who gives Lance the seeds to the famed "Rose of Lyra" so that he can save the people on Planet Arus from the evil flowers sent by Haggar.
  • King Alfor (King Raimon) (voiced by Peter Cullen in the 1980s series, Tim Curry in the 1990s series, Sam Vincent in the 2011 series, Keith Ferguson in the 2016 series): King Alfor is Allura's deceased father, and the previous ruler of planet Altea. Years ago, King Alfor went forth to battle against King Zarkon and his forces in the Valley of Zohar on Planet Altea. He was killed on that day. His body was placed in a royal tomb located directly beneath the Castle of Lions. Nowadays, he returns to the world of the living in a ghostly form to give advice to his daughter to help her in her struggles to maintain peace on Arus and the surrounding galaxy. King Alfor is credited with being the designer of Voltron. In The Third Dimension, it was Alfor's rejection of Witch Haggar that embittered her to evil. She later got her revenge on him by using her magic to capture his spirit and implanting it within a Robeast, preventing the Voltron force from attacking. He was eventually released with the help of Allura and the voice of Queen Ariella.
In Legendary Defender he scattered the Voltron Lions across the known universe before uploading his consciousness into a computer in the Castle of Lions, which allows him to continue advising his daughter. This AI was later destroyed after it was corrupted by energy from a Galra energy crystal. Zarkon later claimed that Alfor scattered Voltron because he knew it would allow Zarkon to become even more powerful.
  • Manset (voiced by Garry Chalk): Exclusive to Voltron Force, Manset is a crustacean-like alien smuggler and friend of Keith who was once a political prisoner of the Den Resistance imprisoned in "The Void", a floating prison operated by Sky Marshall Wade. He was broken out of prison by Keith and escaped into obscurity, not to be heard from again until he is seen helping out with the relief effort by importing food and supplies for Planet Ebb. He also provided backup for the Voltron Force by supplying one of his airships filled with Krelshi, ancient lion riders in the final battle with Wade. Manset has a few ideas how to get Voltron back home, and gives Voltron Force the "friends and family" discount with the shipping. It appears Manset has gone legit, as his smuggling days may be over...for now. [4]
  • Nanny (Senior Court Lady Hys) (voiced by B.J. Ward): [1] Nanny is Allura's over-protective caregiver, who always wants to make all of Allura's decisions for her. Like Coran, Nanny fusses over the Princess and is bent on keeping her away from all harm. In Voltron Force, she cares for Sven's infant son while he is in self-exile on Crydor. In Go-Lion, she was killed during an attack on the castle.
  • Prince Bandor (Prince Alor) (voiced by Neil Ross): Co-ruler of planet Pollux, along with his older sister, Princess Romelle. Became heir apparent after the death of his older brother.
  • Princess Romelle (Princess Amue) (voiced by B.J. Ward): Princess Romelle is Allura's cousin, who lives on the planet Pollux, where she co-rules with her brother, Prince Bandor. She is a dead-ringer for Princess Allura, in terms of physical appearance although Romelle's voice is lower than Allura's. Romelle was once a slave of Lotor, until Sven came to her rescue; together they fight for her people against the Drule Empire. She and Sven become engaged and live "happily ever after" on Pollux.
  • Queen Ariella: First Queen of Planet Arus in The Third Dimension. She first came to Arus from another planet and was found and raised by the five lions before they became Robot lions. It was said they she constructed the Castle of Lions. Now deceased, she appears to Allura as a spirit, much like her father does, and reveals to Allura a way to recreate the five Lions after they are destroyed. She explains that the five lions can never really be destroyed, as their spirits will always be with Arus.
  • Space Mice (Platt-Chuchule and others): The Space Mice are pastel-colored mice displaying a human-like level of intelligence, who were Princess Allura's friends as a child. They are often mischievous, but sometimes helpful. There are five Space Mice, though the fifth mouse is rarely seen until later episodes, perhaps because of not being born, or being too young to leave the nest at first. There is a large light blue mouse, a large pink mouse, two medium-sized light blue mice, and a much smaller light blue mouse. The English dub was very inconsistent with the names of the mice; names used for various mice included Chitter, Cheddar, Cheeser, Cheesy, Pip, Squeek, Mousie, Prince, Toady, Inky, and Suki. Toward the end of the Lion Force Voltron series, the Space Mice wear orange Voltron Force uniforms and pilot a machine called the Mouse Plane, which can transform into a comic-looking Mouse Voltron. In the Devil's Due comic series, the Space Mice were cybernetic robots constructed for Princess Allura by her father. The robotic Space Mice are continued into Voltron Force; they returned as organic beings in Legendary Defender, where they were inside Allura's stasis chamber with her for 10,000 years and thus developed a mental connection to her.

S.S. Explorer crew

  • Commander Hawkins (Shinji Ise): (voiced by Peter Cullen): [5] Commander of the S.S. Explorer, it is Commander Hawkins who gives all the orders to the Vehicle Voltron Force. Firm and hard working, Hawkins is determined to make peace with the Drule Empire, despite how many times they attempt to backstab him in the process.

The most powerful Dragon is Black Draco, the black dragon. Five Dragons can merge to form Dracotron, an evil incarnation of Voltron with a superblast attack so strong, as indirectly stated in Third Dimension, that two blasts can destroy Voltron. In Third Dimension, the Dragons and Dracotron make multiple appearances and are destroyed each time, indicating that possibly any five Dragons can merge into a Dracotron.

Human Enemies

Voltron: Legendary Defender

Team Voltron

Voltron

  • Voltron: is the defender of the universe created by the inhabitants of Altea and Daibazaal after a comet of trans-reality ore landed on the planet Dailbazaal. Zarkon's wife, Honerva, however, became obsessed with the Quintessence found in the reality rift, but the exposure was damaging her health. In order to save Honerva, Zarkon attempted to bring her into the rift using Voltron so he could save her with the Quintessence, but the overexposure killed them, forcing Alfor to destroy Daibazaal in order to close the rift after the end of their funeral. However, Zarkon and Honerva were then resurrected, but had become changed and corrupted by their ordeal. Zarkon flew into a rage at Alfor and the Alteans for the loss of the rift, sparking a war and the beginning of the Galra Empire. Zarkon desired to capture Voltron so he could use the robot's power to create another rift and obtain an infinite amount of Quintessence. This led Alfor to scatter the lions across the universe to keep it out of the hands of the Galra Empire and tied Allura's life force to the giant robot. [3] The Black Lion remained inside the Castle of Lions, and was inaccessible unless the other four were recovered, while the other four were hidden on various planets, with the Blue Lion ending up on Earth. The Red Lion was later found and captured by the Galrans, but rescued by Keith after he bonded with it. These versions of the Voltron Lions will only bond with particular pilots, with the Red Lion notably refusing to bond with Keith until he had proven himself. Each Lion has the ability to fire laser blasts, and each provides a unique weapon to the united Voltron form that is unlocked by each Paladin's use of their Bayard (i.e. the red Bayard unlocks Voltron's sword); a massive sword can also be formed by combining four out of the five Bayards; when the Black Bayard is returned, the sword is revealed to take on the form of the Blazing Sword. The Lions also appear to be sentient and can connect to the life force of the Paladins. During the final battle against Honerva, the Balmerans used energy to merge Voltron with the IGF-Atlas. At the end of the series, the lions left for parts unknown, awaiting the day that they are needed again.
    • Black Lion: Piloted initially by Shiro and later by Keith, the Black Lion forms the main body and head of Voltron. The pilot for the Black Lion has to be a natural born leader, able to keep his head cool at all times, and those who would follow them without question. Another way to pilot the Black Lion is to have the potential of being a leader, as seen when Keith was able to pilot the Black Lion at the beginning of season 2. In seasons 1 and 2, Shiro had to fight Zarkon's bond with the Black Lion. This strong connection between Zarkon and the Black Lion, that Zarkon used it to track the Castle of Lions. There was also a risk of Zarkon taking control of Voltron through the Black Lion. Shiro was able to strengthen the bond between him and the Black Lion, reducing these risks. After Zarkon's death, these risks were eliminated.
      • Legendary Defender features: Shield formed by wings, expanding wings, mouth blade, Black Bayard unlocks sword which can become the powerful Blazing Sword. When used with the Red Bayard Voltron's wings become boosters. When used with the other 4 Bayard's the sword becomes a Scimitar. The Black Bayard, along with the Blue Bayard, are the only ones who have never unlocked a weapon for Voltron without need another Bayard.
    • Red Lion: Piloted initially by Keith and later by Lance, the Red Lion forms the right arm of Voltron. The pilot for the Red Lion must rely on instinct than skill alone. Another way someone to be chosen to pilot the Red Lion, is someone who puts the needs of others above their own self glory.
      • Legendary Defender features: Fastest of the lions, heat resistance, magma beam, back mounted rail gun, produces sword unlocked by the Red Bayard. When used with the Black Bayard, Voltron's wings become boosters. When used with the Green Bayard, Voltron can wield dual swords. When used with the other Bayard's, Voltron's Sword becomes a Scimitar.
    • Green Lion: Piloted by Pidge, the Green Lion forms the left arm of Voltron. In Legendary Defender Pidge refers to the Green Lion as female, similar to how the character of Pidge is reimagined as a girl in the series. To pilot the Green Lion, one must be both intellectual and daring.
      • Legendary Defender features: Cloaking mode installed by Pidge, "Vine Beam" that causes spontaneous plant life growth, arm cannon unlocked by the Green Bayard. When used with the Red Bayard, Voltron can wield Dual Swords. When used with the other Bayard's, Voltron's sword becomes a Scimitar.
    • Blue Lion: Piloted initially by Lance and later by Allura, the Blue Lion forms the right leg of Voltron. The requirements to pilot the Blue Lion has never been explained, but the best guess is that one must deeply care for the lives of others.
      • Legendary Defender features: "Ice Ray", sonic blaster, unknown weapon unlocked by the Blue Bayard. When used with the Yellow Bayard, Voltron can use missile launchers. When used with the other Bayard's, Voltron's sword becomes a Scimitar. The Blue Bayard, along with the Black Bayard, are the only ones to never unlock a weapon without the use of another Bayard.
    • Yellow Lion: Piloted by Hunk, the Yellow Lion forms the left leg of Voltron. To pilot the Yellow Lion, one must care deeply about others, and has a kind heart.
      • Legendary Defender features: Heaviest armor of the lions, additional claws and a jet booster, shoulder cannon unlocked by the Yellow Bayard capable of single or multi-shots. When used with the Blue Bayard, Voltron can used missile launchers. When used with the other Bayard's, Voltron's sword becomes a Scimitar.
  • IGF-ATLAS: The IGF-ATLAS is a battleship, it was built by Pidge's father to replace the Castle of Lions. It original was nonfunctional because of its lack of a power source, this was resolved by using a crystal made from the Castle of Lions. Like the Castle of Lions the ATLAS has hangars for all five of the Lions and can Charge them. The ATLAS can transform into a giant robot. The ATLAS also has the ability to combine with Voltron. The ATLAS originally lacked any close-range weapons, but when combined with Voltron, it can wield a Great Sword. When combined with Voltron, the ATLAS can also travel to other realities. What became of the ATLAS at the end of the series is unknown, but it is now probably being used as a base for the next generation of Legendary Defenders.

Voltron Coalition

Allies who joined Voltron in their fight against first the Galra Empire and later Honerva...

Galra Empire

The Galra Empire is a 13,000-year-old empire that has been invading planets and stealing quintessence, an extremely powerful form of energy that they use to power their war machines. They are also known for saluting each other using the phrase "Vrepit sa," which means the "Killing Thrust". Their homeworld was Daibazaal.

Fire of Purification

A splinter faction of Galra who chose to leave the Empire when Lotor assumed the throne. His forces lead an invasion of planet Earth.

  • Commander Sendak (voiced by Jake Eberle) – A ruthless and fearsome commander within the Galra Empire, Sendak was ordered to capture the Lions and destroy the Paladins, marking the first battle that the team has had with him, and tries a second time by infiltrating the Castle of Lions when still on Arus and almost succeeded if it not been for the efforts of Pidge. Sendak has a cybernetic prosthetic left shoulder and forearm connected by an energy binder that allows him to attack from a distance, using his arm like a flail or to pull himself over great distances. He was captured by the Paladins and placed in suspended animation in an effort to glean his mind of information, only for Shiro to apparently dispose of him out of paranoia. It is later revealed in season five that Sendak survived and Haggar selects him as a possible contender for the throne following the death of Zarkon since she was ineligible as a contender due to her being an Altean. He becomes leader of the "Fire of Purification", his own armada made of Galra who have joined with him after the empire was broken apart. While the Voltron Paladins are missing in action after defeating Lotor, Sendak leads an invasion of planet Earth, capturing many of its citizens and leaving it mostly in ruin. The Galaxy Garrison manages to put up a fight, but are overwhelmed until the Voltron Paladins finally make it back. Sendak is building six cannons that, when their firepower is combined above Earth's atmosphere, will completely destroy the planet. Voltron and the Galaxy Garrison fight back and destroy the cannons and cripple Sendak's command ship and sending it crashing to Earth. Sendak puts up a last stand, but is ultimately killed by Keith.
  • Lieutenant Hepta (voiced by Matthew Mercer) [17] – One of Sendak's officers. He is killed by the Lions after he fatally wounds Admiral Sanda.

Lotor's Generals

Lotor's four loyal female top generals who are each half-Galra. They would later join under Haggar for a while before returning to work for Lotor. When Lotor declared he would wipe out all his enemies, including the rest of the Galra, Acxa, Ezor and Zethrid, disturbed by this statement, abandoned Lotor for good only to be ejected from the Sincline ships by him for their betrayal and were left stranded in space. In season 7, Ezor and Zethrid became Warlords, while Acxa left to find her own path. At the end of the series, Acxa, Ezor and Zethrid joined The Blade of Marmora.

  • Acxa – see Voltron Coalition
  • Ezor (voiced by Kimiko Glenn) – Has the ability to camouflage like a chameleon and is very agile and acrobatic. She is shown to be rather cheerful and is said to be the most friendly out of the generals. Also shown to be close with Zehtrid. After Voltron's battle with Lotor, Ezor became a pirate warlord with Zethrid and later captured the Paladins three years later, interrogating them on Lotor's fate out of fear that Lotor would come after them in revenge. She was believed to be killed in an explosion, but survived.
  • Zethrid (voiced by Jamie Gray Hyder) – She possess great strength and is highly capable at physical combat. She is also bloodthirsty and craves violence. After Voltron's battle with Lotor, Zethrid became a pirate warlord with Ezor and later captured the Paladins three years later. After Ezor left her, Zethrid led a crew of Galra in an attempt to get revenge for Ezor's leaving her, by attempting to kill Keith before being taken in by the Atlas. After seeing Ezor, Zethrid decides it would be best to help the coalition.
  • Narti – A quick, strong combatant, she also uses her tail as weapon. She has psychic powers and is able to manipulate others' minds by touching them. Because she is unable to talk on her own and has no eyes, she uses her psychic connection with Kova to communicate and see. Lotor ultimately kills her upon discovering that Haggar is spying on him through her.
    • Kova – A catlike alien who was originally Honerva's pet that now serves as Narti's eyes. Kova soon returned to Haggar's presence following Narti's death.

Other Galra

  • Haxus (voiced by Robin Atkin Downes) – Sendak's chief underling. Falls to his death taking Rover with him.
  • Commander Prorok (voiced by Keith Ferguson) – He is a commander working directly under Zarkon who prefers to employ the overwhelming force of the Galra fleet to subtle plans in order to capture Voltron. Following an act of sabotage that allows the Voltron Lions and Castle to escape Galra Central Command, Prorok is punished by Zarkon, despite being innocent, and taken away for interrogation by the Druids, Haggar's order of dark magicians. He is then used by Haggar to give life to a new Robeast that tracks Voltron to a cluster of xanthorium, home to a Galra rebel base. Prorok's Robeast form displays the ability to draw the xanthorium into itself to use as fuel for a powerful laser, as well as drawing Voltron and other objects into its gaping maw. He meets his demise when Ulaz sacrifices himself by crash landing his ship into his Robeast form.
    • Subcommander Ylvik – He is under Prorok's command.
  • Commander Morvok (voiced by David W. Collins) – A sadistic, cowardly, and obese commander who robs an entire planet of resources before leaving the inhabitants to die. He is then called upon by Zarkon to capture Voltron, and despite attempts at worming his way out of it is forced to comply with the order. His ship is destroyed shortly after he orders the preparation of his escape pod.
  • Varkon and Vrepit Sal (both voiced by Fred Tatasciore) – An overweight Galra mall cop who idolizes Emperor Zarkon, and a Galra restaurateur who initially captures Hunk after he is unable to pay for a meal but later employs him to prepare food in his restaurant.
  • The Warden (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) – A villainous Galra with cybernetic implants who oversees the prison of the genius Slav; this prison is also where the Warden keeps his pet yupper Laika. The Warden is equipped with a pair of cybernetic arms in addition to his normal ones, and has a system to inject himself with a substance that greatly increases his size and muscle mass. This enhanced form makes him a greater menace to the Voltron Paladins who come to rescue Slav, but with Slav's aid they are able to make their escape.
    • Laika (voiced by Neil Kaplan) [18] – a massive dog-like alien, she is the Warden's pet yupper.

  • Commander Trugg (voiced by Laura Post) [19] – A Galra commander who goes at war against Ladnok during season 5 and is later killed by Ranveig's weapon in "Bloodlines".
  • General Branko (voiced by Ike Amadi) – A Galra general who planned to take the throne following Zarkon's death. He was the one in charge of the Galra occupation of Olkarion and the enslavement of their people, forcing them to build a weaponized cube. He returned following Zarkon's death to lay siege to Olkarion once again with a weapon that turned the very forest of Olkarion against its people. It was ultimately defeated by Voltron and his ship was destroyed.
  • Letch – Branko's chief underling.
  • Commander Sniv (voiced by Nolan North) – A Galra commander who planned to assassinate Haggar, but ended getting killed by her himself.

  • Doctor Haggar (voiced by Grey Griffin)
  • Fentress (voiced by Kari Wahlgren)

Robeasts & Mechas

The Galra Empire employs Robeasts and mechas generally created by Haggar and her Druids, albeit simply called "Beasts" until Hunk gives them their more popular name in "Shiro's Escape." There is one noticeable distinction between Robeasts and Mechas: Robeasts are generally mechs powered and given life by the quintessence of a being's soul forcefully implanted into the beast and controlled by Haggar's dark magic while Mechas are generally mechs controlled by a pilot.

  • Gladiator Robeast – A bulky Robeast infused with the soul of a Galra Gladiator named Myzax who was previously defeated by Shiro. He possessed a powerful arm cannon based on his gladiator weapon, capable of producing an energy orb that he could fire and then control, using it to strike at enemies when they attempted to attack him. However, Haggar either did not or could not improve upon the design, and Shiro's memories of his early battle enabled the Voltron pilots to defeat the Gladiator and destroy him.
  • Laser Robeast – A Robeast imbued with the life essence of a lizard-like alien, with the ability to fire powerful energy beams from its eyes, a port in its torso, and several ports along its lengthy arms. Its ability to fire multiple blasts at once or concentrate them all into a powerful orb proved a formidable threat to the Voltron Paladins, with the combined blast proving stronger than Voltron's shoulder cannon. However, they were able to use the cannon's multi-shot feature to hit all the ports at once, and managed to land a devastating blow to the Robeast, which was later encased in crystal by the Balmera that they were fighting on. However, the creature later revived (albeit now headless), having undergone a metamorphosis in which its power was increased and it gained a pair of massive Balmera crystals corrupted by its energy as shields. However, by working together, they were able to breach its defenses and finish it off with Voltron's sword.
  • Prorok Robeast – A Robeast created using former Commander Prorok, it resembles a mechanical version of his head with a pair of arms and is larger than the fully formed Voltron. This Robeast has the ability to produce a tractor beam from its mouth, which it can use to draw in heavily unstable materials to fuel its laser weapon or to draw in enemy targets such as Voltron. An attempt by the Paladins to destroy it by crashing it into an explosive asteroid proved fruitless, and it was only the sacrifice of Ulaz, a member of the Blade of Marmora, that saw this Robeast meeting its end, crushed by an artificially produced singularity.
  • Zarkon's Mecha – A powerful and monstrous construct created solely for Zarkon's personal use against Voltron. Every subject who tested it was killed prior to Zarkon piloting it into battle himself, because the test subjects did not have the strength of dark quintessence inside of them. It shared Voltron's ability to produce weapons when unlocked by a Bayard, specifically the Black Bayard that Zarkon retained as the Black Lion's original Paladin, such as an energy sword and a segmented chain weapon. It seems to have had additional abilities based on those of the Black Lion, such as a massive pair of wings that allowed it to fly through space at high speeds and that could form shields capable of neutralizing Voltron's shoulder cannon blast. It was also capable of deflecting a full power blast from the Castle of Lions' weapons, but proved unable to stop the Black Lion from recovering the Black Bayard from Zarkon; it retained its weaponry despite this loss. It was finally destroyed after Shiro used the Black Bayard to unlock Voltron's Blazing Sword, which Voltron used to cut through and destroy the armor, and nearly killed Zarkon.
  • Olkarion Tree Beast – A self-replicating organic wetware that acted like a computer virus upon the Olkari's tree mechs, fusing a large number of them to form a colossal weapon which then proceeded to attack the capital. it was designed by Olkari scientists during Commander Branko's occupation of Olkarion, and upon hearing Voltron had returned to the planet, Branko released it in an attempt to destroy the Voltron Coalition.
  • Sincline Ships – Spacecraft that Lotor had constructed in secret using ore from the second trans-reality comet. Uniting all three Sincline ships combine into a Voltron-esque Sincline Mech, piloted solely by Lotor when he used the Sincline mech for a final battle against Voltron, demonstrating the Sincline Mech's ability to enter the quintessence field at will. Voltron was able to replicate this technique for a final showdown within the quintessence field. Voltron channeled all of its energy into one huge blast that destroyed Lotor once and for all.
  • Komar Mechas – After finally defeating Sendak and liberating Earth from Galra occupation, Voltron was suddenly attacked by a mysterious mech of unknown origin. It appeared similar in style to Lotor's Sincline mech, but also had the ability to drain quintessence, in the same way as Haggar's Komar. With help from the Garrison's IGF-Atlas, Voltron was able to destroy it. After recovering the pieces, the Garrison discovered the power source of the mech: a female Altean named Luka. Honerva has built more of these Robeasts which are piloted by her Altean acolytes infused with the strength of her dark entities.
  • Honerva's Mecha – This is based on the Komar Robeasts, enhances her magic, and has wings that allow her to pierce the barrier between realities. She later merged her Robeast with the Sincline Mech to gain the comet ore that allows her to travel between realities. It is powerful enough to fight equally with the merged Voltron/Atlas mech.
