The Robotech stuff is great!  Can anybody do Voltron, Defender of the
Universe?  (The version composed of Lions, not that other silly one.)

THANKS!

Actually, I believe it was 3 robots, that joined to form a robot with 6
arms.  I didn't mention it, because it's pretty obscure.  The only
reason I know about it is because when I was a kid, I bought the
Matchbox version of Voltron, and on the back of the box it depicted all
three, and I remember the 6-armed Voltron as striking me as VERY
strange!

Yeah that is the only reason I knew about it myself:)
saw at it at Toys R Us (Never saw Voltron 2 tho)

According to the cartoon, the Voltron team consisted of five robotic lions,
one of which acted as the main body, and the other four were limbs.

I actually saw Voltron 2 in stores!!
I own 1 and 3 myself.  I never saw 2 on the cartoon, though.
