From untold reaches of the universe... Came a legend.
The legend of Voltron.
It's live action. And it takes place on earth: "a post-apocalyptic tale set in New York City and Mexico. Five ragtag survivors of an alien attack band together and end up piloting the five lion-shaped robots that combine and form the massive sword-wielding Voltron that helps battle Earth's invaders."
I know, I know: Transformers was cool.
But...
I dunno about this.
