Voltron Force Cartoon coming next year!

Variety reports that Nicktoons is developing 26 half-hour episodes of a new animated series titled "Voltron Force," about five space explorers who pilot robotic lions that combine to form Voltron, an invincible guardian sworn to defend the Universe.


The series will remain faithful to the old show, while introducing new recruits to fight alongside the original characters.


Mattel will tie-in with the 25th anniversary to launch toys based on the classic "Voltron" range, as well as action figures and playsets that revolve around an edgier, modernized robot.

WEP and Classic Media had been developing a live action Voltron: Defender of the Universe movie but writers, including Justin Marks, have yet to lock down the right tone, producers said.

All I have to say is this:

You better not screw this up Nicktoons. I'm still pissed about the cancellation of Wolverine and the Xmen, lol.

I can't wait to see this!
with WEP saying its going to be faithful to the old show I am confident that they will be one brand that pleases the 80s audience that loves this cartoon such as myself!
2011 will be a great year for Voltron with the new cartoon, new toys from Mattel and live action movie.. which may be in 2012.. not sure yet

Nice! Voltron has always been a fave, even vehicle voltron...
