These fighters are: Ted Koplar assembled a team in Los Angeles to transform Go-Lion into what would become Voltron.

Since they had no means of translating the Japanese series into English, Keefe and Cofod surmised the plots, commissioned writer Jameson Brewer to write all-new dialogue, edited out the more violent scenes, and remixed the audio into stereo format.

[1] The Japanese series Future Robot Daltanious was originally planned to be adapted by World Events Productions as part of Voltron.

Mistakenly, Toei then proceeded to ship World Events copies of Beast King Go-Lion, another "combining-robot" cartoon which featured lion-shaped fighting robot starships.

[10][11] Though airing in syndication, which offered other anime shows such as Robotech greater freedom to deal with subject matter such as death that were off-limits in most US network children's programming, WEP's adaptation of Voltron was heavily edited to conform to the more conservative standards of children's television in the United States, as well as the standard name change of characters and concepts in Go-Lion and Dairugger.

Lionsgate Home Entertainment released or re-released some episodes of the show on VHS in four numbered volumes in 2001.

Produced in an anime-influenced style with CGI Voltron action sequences, featuring a whole new cast with Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos, both known for their work on Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel The Legend of Korra, as showrunners.
