Voltron Lion: Hunk Profile ( Yellow Lion Profile )

Hunk is the strong-man of the group, piloting the Yellow Lion that forms Voltron's left leg, and wearing an orange uniform in the original series, and a metallic yellow uniform in Voltron: The Third Dimension. He is about 24-26 years old. He may look tough and mean, but he has a soft heart, especially when it comes to children. He is never late for a meal. Though his friends tease him about his appetite, most of Hunk's bulk is muscle. It is revealed that he eats "-'Fruit Loops' (almost)every morning".

The larger of the group, Hunk was always ready to go charging in with his fists. He also had a kinder side - more like a big teddy bear.

Voltron Lion: Sven Profile (Blue Lion temporary pilot)

Sven did not stay long with the team, as he was injured in a battle with the evil witch Haggar early in the series. In the original Japanese version, Sven died at this point, but in the American version he was only injured and taken to another planet which had better hospitals than those on Planet Arus [Planet Altea]. As it turned out, Zarkon's forces attacked the planet where Sven was recovering, and Sven was taken captive along with other citizens of the world. Sven and some of the others were then sent to Planet Doom [Planet Galra], where they were used as slaves. Sven, useless as a slave because he was still weak, was thrown in to a cave by himself and left for dead. Then one day Princess Romelle was thrown down a hole by Prince Lotor, where she met Sven who helped her to escape. He didn't want to go back to Planet Arus because he felt that he had failed the Voltron Force. Princess Romelle told him to call them, but he refused. She kept on telling him, so that he eventually calls them through a comlink, and when he does calls Planet Arus everybody is glad to see that he is OK. So the Voltron Force goes out to save them, and Sven and the Princess escape by taking one of Zarkon's ships. They get out of Planet Doom while Voltron is on his way. When they finally catch up to Voltron, Lotor brings out a RoBeast which almost defeated Voltron, if it wasn't for Sven and the Princess. So, after the battle they return to Princess Romelle's planet and Sven tells Keith that he is going to stay with the Princess.... and Keith told him....."Remember you will always be with the Voltron Force...and when you want to come back you will be welcomed...." And that's what happened to Sven.

Pidge was remarkably agile despite his outward geekiness.

What's the deal with Voltron?

2008 is just months away, but still Voltron is not announcing any cast, their production or studio.. if this happens I don't know if they can really release the live action film by 2008 and maybe they will move it by 2009. Anyways i'll be the one who will wait for the big announcement of cast and production, or maybe they already have and just don't want it to be announce yet.. hmmm.. what do you think?

Pharrell Williams Revisits The '80s With 'Voltron' Movie

You already know Pharrell Williams is obsessed with the sounds of the '80s.

Now the Neptunes producer is getting a chance to put his beats where his passion is as the producer of the soundtrack to the big-screen version of the 1980s giant-robot series "Voltron."

Williams, an executive producer on the film, will also score "Voltron: Defender of the Universe," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The movie is being produced by Mark Gordon ("The Day After Tomorrow," "Saving Private Ryan"), based on a story about five maverick pilots who have to travel to the planet Arus to learn how to operate the massive Voltron, which is made up of five smaller robots. The giant robot is Earth's last hope in the fight against the Drule Empire.

"Voltron" is not the only '80s robot flick on the roster. Steven Spielberg is executive producing a live-action version of "Transformers," which will be directed by Michael Bay ("The Island," "Armageddon"). That movie is slated for release on July 4, 2007.

"Voltron" and "Transformers" animated series both debuted in 1984, each spawning a huge toy phenomenon.

Voltron Live Action Update

In the past months Justine Mark's review of the latest script rewrite for Voltron Live Action was described as follows:

“The script has the tone, edge and dark elements of GOLION. Mark Gordon is going to have a bidding war on his hands with Voltron after TRANSFORMERS opens.”

GOLION was the source of inspiration for Voltron when it was created for the US Audience. This is dark, aggressive/violent and nto for the younger audience which Voltron was intended for. A Voltron that kicks even WAY MORE ass and I think is better than Transformers.

There are cast announced for this Voltron Movie. 2008 is still a tentative date because up to now there is still no big time new about voltron.

“This updated telling of the VOLTRON story follows a team of space explorers who travel to the planet Arus and learn how to operate Voltron, the last hope against the evil Drule Empire that has subjugated Earth and taken control of the universe.”

but regardless of when and who are the characters.. i'll be waiting here.. updating you guys!
