Description: Voltron: Legendary Defender
From the same people who gave us Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, comes Voltron: Legendary Defender, a new re-imagining of the 80's anime classic, "Voltron: Defender of the Universe." This new story once again tells the story of five space explorers and their quest to pilot the five lions that form the powerful robot, Voltron and defend the innocent from the forces of evil.
In this new story, Keith, Pidge, Lance and Hunk are students training to explore the outer reaches of space. Their luck changes when they discover that dangerous extraterrestrial forces are after a mysterious force known as Voltron. Shiro, a space explorer has returned to warn the Earth of the impending threat of the Galra Empire, a lethal force that has dominated and enslaved most of the Galaxy. Together, they discover their destiny to pilot Voltron and journey through the stars with Princess Allura and her assistant Coran. While they have possession of the mightiest robot in the Galaxy, they are still faced with overwhelming odds, and a battle they might not survive....
