I know most of you have seen this TV series during its roll during the 80s era. For some who don’t have any idea about this cool robot, listen up and drop those catalytic converters first!

Voltron is a colossal mecha robot that was first introduced in the 1980s animated television series "Voltron: Defender of the Universe". After a successful launch, there was a second series made in the 1990s using CGI methods. The 1980s Voltron TV series was inspired on a couple of unclearly-related Japanese anime series GoLion and Dairugger XV that were formerly created by Toei Animation & Bandai. The anime was later on edited and dubbed into English by the North American television production and distribution company World Events Productions.

The robot Voltron is composed of several teams, parts and vehicles. We have the allies, land, air and sea team. This time, let’s meet the team stationed in land with their awesome vehicles! Check this out courtesy of WikiPedia.com:

The Land Team:
Cliff: Leader of the Land Team. He has a well-built Australian accent, and from time to time is likely to have a ironic funny side. He pilots the Jet Radar Station (#11) that figures the lower torso/hips of Voltron. Lance and Wolo tugged him into the pool when he first arrived to the academy.

Cinda: Member of the Land Team. Similar to Lisa, Cinda is too is nice and kindhearted, particularly when it talks about the environment. She comes from the same water planet as Cric. She pilots the Rotating Personnel Carrier (#12) that forms the right forearm of Voltron.

Modoch: The biggest member of the Land Team, who can best be illustrated as the "gentle giant." Just like Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets! Anyway, he maneuvers the Armored Equipment Carrier (#13) that forms the left forearm of Voltron.

Marvin & Hutch: Best buddies and members of the Land Team. This duo is frequently seen together. They are often seen playing cards or scuffling with each other. They pilot the All-Terrain Space Vehicles (#14 and #15) that form the right and left feet of Voltron, respectively.
