The Robotech stuff is great! Can anybody do Voltron, Defender of the Universe? (The version composed of Lions, not that other silly one.) THANKS! --Bill. Wil...@Dartmouth.EDU

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. Chris -- Christopher King
