    Yeah, they just came clean on this. Turns out the plans are regular sized, but they'll just look really big when Voltron's involved.

    Old school Transformers when I hear "Me Grimlock SMASH" and "Autobots, transform/roll out" do the same as well.

    Personally, I always loved Vehicle Voltron more than the lion counterpart (yes, I know, two separate shows in Japan, but this here's 'Merica).

    Of course, that proclamation is usually met with widespread derision and whispered supports from a minority.

    In my mind, it's just a cooler world in which to set a show. Plus, Vehicle Voltron has a 1979 Jeep Wagoneer for a foot.

    The full list of reasons: [www.geeksix.com]

    @Joshua: Vehicle Voltron has a 1979 Jeep Wagoneer for a foot. I think you may have just identified why most people prefer Lions.

    Maybe. (Laughing hysterically to self!)

    If you're going to sell out, be the biggest sellout possible.

    Voltron: Twilight
    Voltron: Day of the Living Dead
    Not Voltron XXX

    @ManchuCandidate: Voltron: Twilight would be great. It would be 30 seconds long and consist of the following:

    "Oh Im such a wistful shiny vampire, its such a drag.

    Hey whats that giant lion robot thing doing?"

    I'm probably going to go nuts for this, but I would really love it if somebody brought back DYNAMAN from Nite Flite on Friday nights back in the 80's.

    With the ratio of crap-to-good that comes from Robot Chicken, you truly can't expect anything less because you can only go up from here.

    @KatherineDust Mite: Robot Chicken reminds me of Mystery Science Theater 3000 in that the density of jokes is so high that they can't all be gems, but there are still enough good ones to make the overall experience funny as heck.

    @The Curse of Millhaven: Agreed. That's how I describe it to my friends, too. With an episode only lasting fifteen minutes, even one good sketch can make up for some of the far lamer ones, that are probably someone else's cup of tea. Watching a series in a row, you're bound to find some sketches you absolutley love, too.
    MST3K had two hours to deliver the funny in an episode, so even if one joke missed the mark, there were plenty more to laugh at. The worse the movie, the better the jokes, too.
