Has anyone noticed that the Voltron pirate crews bear a marked resemblance to
the Kra'Vak?

Computer Generated? Did they redo Voltron? I know they've been Showing it
around 4 on that Toonami thing on Cartoon network. That was like the 70's or
something wasn't it? didn't think they did much computer generation back then.
I also don't remember pirates in the show. just a bunch of "Robeasts" I love
that show though:)

It's a Transformer like Computer Generated show that comes on Sunday mornings
at 0800 EST (Hey I have a 1yr old dso I'm up!) The graphics and effects are
great and tehy ahve cool space battles. The "Enemy", directly resemble the
kra'Vak

So, the show is called "The Voltrons"?

Ano... has this any relation to the old anime shows that were imported into
the US in the early 80s as Voltron?

The new series is completely computer animated (just like War Planets, Beast
Wars, Reboot, etc) and is making the syndication rounds. The current Voltron
is picking up from the end of the original GoLion (the original title from
Japan before it came to the States and got Dairruggar 15 added to it and was
renamed Voltron).

The original Voltron (the GoLion and Dairruggar 15 mixed show) is still shown
on Cartoon Network.

Is this possibly the reason for the (is it Sprite?) commercial with rappers in
the voltron lions? I couldn't quite figure out why that was showing up now.

Any information on when/where this new version is playing? (You've got
me interested now. Though I'm not all that fond of computer animation that
looks like computer animation, just says to me they're too lazy to do it right
the old way)

Yes Chad, it has been completely made over and is on (UPN I think) Sunday
mornings 8am EST. It's followed by another excellent computer
generated transformer-like show called "Beast Wars". This show has great
story lines and lots of main characters get killed off.
