List of Voltron characters

This is a list of characters from Voltron.
The three cadets are recruited by the Voltron Force to help battle evil when Lotor returns. The three cadets have a hyperactive nature and irrating egos at first, causing them to be burdens to the original pilots, but they gradually mature during their training. They needed to learn navigation, hand-to-hand combat, tactical combat, strategies, science, and trusting each other. The three cadets tended to work by themselves and think individually, but they begin to learn by working together, they can be able to piloting the Lions.
Air Team uniforms are dark blue, yellow, and white.
Sea Team uniforms are navy blue and aqua.
Land Team uniforms are red and white.
A sentient robot created by King Alfor on Arus to fight against the armies of Planet Doom. Among Voltron's weapons are the Spinning Laser Blade, Lion Head Attack, Lion Torches, Sting Ray Missiles, Ion Darts, Eye Beams, Electro-Force Cross, Lion Lariat, Electro-Saber, Argon Force Field, and the Blazing Sword, his ultimate weapon. Voltron was later separated into the five Lions by Haggar. In the first-season finale of The Third Dimension, Voltron was destroyed, but recreated in the beginning of the second season, and would go on to be reconfigured into Stealth Voltron whenever he passed into another dimension.
In Voltron Force, due to Vince's mysterious powers, Voltron can reconfigure himself with a different lion to form the main body while the Black Lion becomes a limb. Additionally, Voltron can use Daniel's VoltCom powers to boost the speed of the lions, his formation sequence and himself. With Larmina's VoltCom powers, Voltron gains improved hand-to-hand combat skills and a Blazing Katana which he wields alongside his Blazing Sword. Also revealed in Voltron Force is that many planets have had connections to Voltron's creation – Arus, Earth, Balto, and Ariel.
In Legendary Defender, Voltron was the ultimate weapon in the universe created by the inhabitants of Altea and Daibazaal but was scattered across the universe on Alfor's order to keep it out of the hands of the Galra Empire. The Black Lion remained inside the Castle of Lions, inaccessible unless the other four were recovered, while the other four were hidden on various planets, with the Blue Lion ending up on Earth. The Red Lion was later found and captured by the Galrans, but rescued by Keith after he bonded with it. These versions of the Voltron Lions will only bond with particular pilots, with the Red Lion notably refusing to bond with Keith until he had proven himself. In this version it was Allura herself who created Voltron, and her life force is tied to the giant robot and its Lion components all the while her father, Alfor created the Black Lion. Each Lion has the ability to fire laser blasts, and each provides a unique weapon to the united Voltron form that is unlocked by each Paladin's use of their Bayard; a massive sword can also be formed by combining all of the Bayards except the black one. When the Black Bayard is returned, the sword is revealed to take on the form of the Blazing Sword.
In the Devil's Due comic series, Vehicle Voltron was created by the Galaxy Garrison after abducting Voltron from Arus and reverse-engineering it under orders from a Drule spy. The machine was named "V-15" within the comics, and was first deployed after Voltron to recapture him until they received new orders to support him. Among its weapons are the Solar Combat Spears, Ray Beam Whip, Electro-thermal Blast, Eye Beams, Wing Beam, Solar Wind Blast, and the Spinning Laser Blades which are used as precursor to the Blazing Sword. Unlike the animated series, which depicted the two Voltron Forces as being family members, as with Chip and Pidge, or longstanding friends, the Devil's Due comic showed Keith and Jeff as having an antagonistic relationship with one another due to Lion Voltron's accidental "sneak attack" on Vehicle Voltron during the robots' first battle together.
The government within the Voltron series. While some of its members help the Voltron teams, others have their own agenda.
The Drule Empire are the main enemies of the Voltron Lion and Vehicle Teams, ruled by Emperor Zeppo. They are at war with the Galaxy Alliance. Most of them are humanoids with light purple skin and red eyes. Among many planets in the empire are Drule, Doom, etc.
The villains of the Lion Voltron series, ruled by King Zarkon in the Denubian galaxy. In the Devil's Due comic series, Planet Doom is the center of the Drule Empire as the "Kingdom of Night".
The Drule Underground Rebel Force was founded by Bakki to liberate their home world's citizens from tyranny.
Monsters used by members of the Drule Empire and often sent to fight the two Voltrons of the Galaxy Alliance.
The Robeasts sent from planet Doom to battle the Lion Force, reared in gladiatorial combat, are humanoid monsters created through a combination of superscience and Haggar's magic, usually from prisoners of war though some of them are simply giant robots piloted by Doom soldiers.
In Voltron Force, a new series of Robeasts are produced by infusing apex predators from various planets with Haggarium. The resulting creatures are biomechanical beasts with the Haggarium enabling them to normally weaken Voltron with special abilities augmenting their natural talents.
The Drule Robeasts that battle the Explorer and the Vehicle Force are uniformly technology based and mostly piloted by Drule soldiers.
Exclusive to Voltron: The Third Dimension, evil counterparts to the lions based on dragons, the Dragons lived in an alternate dimension, but were so ferocious and destructive that they left it a desolate wasteland, forcing them to travel to other dimensions to steal food as well as structures within which to protect their eggs from their atmosphere. The most powerful Dragon is Black Draco, the black dragon. Five Dragons can merge to form Dracotron, an evil incarnation of Voltron with a superblast attack so strong, as indirectly stated in Third Dimension, that two blasts can destroy Voltron. In Third Dimension, the Dragons and Dracotron make multiple appearances and are destroyed each time, indicating that possibly any five Dragons can merge into a Dracotron.
Allies who joined Voltron in their fight against first the Galra Empire and later Honerva...
The Galra Empire is a 13,000-year-old empire that has been invading planets and stealing quintessence, an extremely powerful form of energy that they use to power their war machines. They are also known for saluting each other using the phrase "Vrepit sa," which means the "Killing Thrust". Their homeworld was Daibazaal.
A splinter faction of Galra who chose to leave the Empire when Lotor assumed the throne. His forces lead an invasion of planet Earth.
Lotor's four loyal female top generals who are each half-Galra. They would later join under Haggar for a while before returning to work for Lotor. When Lotor declared he would wipe out all his enemies, including the rest of the Galra, Acxa, Ezor and Zethrid, disturbed by this statement, abandoned Lotor for good only to be ejected from the Sincline ships by him for their betrayal and were left stranded in space. In season 7, Ezor and Zethrid became Warlords, while Acxa left to find her own path. At the end of the series, Acxa, Ezor and Zethrid joined The Blade of Marmora.
The Galra Empire employs Robeasts and mechas generally created by Haggar and her Druids, albeit simply called "Beasts" until Hunk gives them their more popular name in "Shiro's Escape." There is one noticeable distinction between Robeasts and Mechas: Robeasts are generally mechs powered and given life by the quintessence of a being's soul forcefully implanted into the beast and controlled by Haggar's dark magic while Mechas are generally mechs controlled by a pilot.
