And we have the last in my Voltron marathon Lo-tron. This guy isnt in my preview I leaned about him after I was finished drawing the rest of these guys. Theres not really any good drawings of this guy online OR in the film itself; it was very hard to understand what was going on with the back of this guy.



Lo-tron is another anti-Voltron. The last one. Although there was a giant robot in the original series made in the image of Voltron he didnt split apart so he isnt up for consideration. Now, in the Fleet of Doom King Zarkon teams up with the Drules (who, in that film, are two different sets of forces) to defeat Voltron and Lo-tron here was made by the Drules and piloted but Lotor. He wields a LOT of weapons, including the Blazing Scimitar, and even his component parts are more powerful than the individual lions.



Speaking of which, they are: Rhino Beast, Scorpio, Beetle, Armour Beast (Armadillo), and a tiny skull ship. They mimicked the standard Voltron forming sequence, but it didnt really match up to the animation AT ALL. Still, Lo-tron was cool because he, like Vehicle and Gladiator, formed differently than Lion! This is something Draco, Voltrex, and Stealth never did. It made Lo-tron more unique as a robot to have this aspect carried over.



The Fleet of Doom was an awesome movie I remember always just missing it as a child. It would have awed me. As an adult I have to say that Im disappointed in the lack of Vehicle presence. Its a Lion Voltron episode that guest stars Vehicle and not a true crossover with equal portions of each. For what it is, and for the time, it works.



The one sore spot is Lo-tron himself. He would go years without an actual name. The first time I saw his name was as a chapter title on a FoD Italian DVD on a site and now its his name in a new game. So Lo-tron is his 100% official name. I dunno if it was coined by the DVD guys or if it was always supposed to be his name, but thats what it is.
