Lion Force Voltron and Vehicle Force Voltron team up! When the evil King Zarkon aligns with Viceroy Throk of the Drule High Command to create an invincible armada: the Fleet of Doom! All hope seems lost. Wreacking havoc throughout the solar system, this unstoppable menace has plans to rule the known universe, starting with the Galaxy Alliance's secret base on Planet Acura. The only force capable of taking on this challenge is the unprecedented team up of the mighty Defenders of the Universe, The Voltron Force! For the first time, Lion Force Voltron, led by Keith (voiced by Neil Ross : GI Joe, Transformers) and Vehicle Force Voltron, led by Jeff, must form their Blazing Swords together to battle the deadly alliance. But what will happen when Zarkon's maniacal heir, Prince Lotor, unleashes his own robotic abomination in the form of a Robeast version of Voltron? Will the combined power of Vehicle and Lion Force be enough to stop the onslaught of the Fleet of Doom? Featuring the voices of Jack Angel (Spiderman), Michael Bell (Duke- GI Joe), Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime - Transformers) and BJ Ward (Scarlett - GI Joe) and the late Lennie Weinrib (H.R Pufnstuf), Fleet of Doom is a MUST HAVE for any 80's cartoon afficionado's collection!

Summary: One of the worst movies ever
Comment: This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and I'm a Voltron fan. Save yourself some pain and buy one of the tv show's box sets instead. There you will get a true Voltron experience.

Summary: The Fleet of Doom
Comment: This meeting of the 2 Voltron forces, Lion and Vehicle, is the introduction to the Vehicle Voltron season. Lotor and his Drule counterpart combine their fleets into a mighty armada set to destroy the Galaxy Alliance base on a hidden planet. Both forces are sent to stop the attack that doesn't happen near the end. Has some sappy moments of the Keith and Princess relationship after the witch Haggar kidnaps her to another dimension that Keith follows in order to save her and rejoin the rest of the Voltron force. It's not the greatest collaberation of these 2 teams but it's fun.

Summary: Voltron Fleet Of Doom is a must have dvd!
Comment: Voltron Fleet of Doom is a must have dvd! I like the story and animation in this Voltron movie! It combines both Lion and Vehicle Voltron together in one hour. I think this animated movie is great! My only problem with this dvd is the video quality. the fleet of doom movie is good and very watchable. the video quality for the special features is a different thing. the Lion Voltron and Vehicle Voltron intros are of poor quality. I do not understand why special features video quality is not that great. I have no complaints about the fleet of doom movie but I think they should fix the video quality for the special features. C+

Summary: Voltron DVD
Comment: Almost perfect (9 out of 10). I would've given it a 10 out of 10 except they forgot to cut out all the 'dead space' when they deleted the commercials.

Summary: Um, isn't DVD supposed to be BETTER than VHS??!!
Comment: I have to agree with Brian's comments. I only wish I had read it PRIOR to ordering this catastrophe of a DVD. The only reason I didn't give it a rating of 1 is because of the simple fact that it is a great "movie", and to rate it based on the quality alone would be unjust. Now here's my 2 cents on this release. The quality of the video and audio both reminded me of an old school "Laserdisc" that is suffering from extreme laser ROT. And Brian wasn't kidding when he referred to the EXTREMELY annoying 15 second or greater "fade to black" that seems to last an eternity during what apparently is supposed to be a "commercial break". It reminded me of when I watched it back in the 80's on regular broadcast television. The thing that I REALLY regret, is parting with my mint condition VHS of the same title. I hate to say this, but the VHS was far SUPERIOR to this pathetic excuse for a DVD. There was no 15 second lag between "breaks". In fact it was a very well edited and smooth running "movie". Not to mention there was an additional episode ta boot. I shudder to think how they will translate "Voltron I" (Vehicle Force) and of course "Dairugger XV" (Original Vehice Force), the ones that we really want to see anyhow, because we all know the Vehicle Force was FAR superior to the Lion Force *lol*. Hopefully enough of us fans will send WEP enough "hate mail" and they will actually listen and give this classic feature the remaster treatment and 5.1 audio mix that is well deserved! I really could care less about extra features, I just want a smooth running DVD translation without black screens that is at least on par with the VHS. Luckily I was able to track down an unopened VHS of it online for a fair price. At this point, the VHS translation is the way to go. DO NOT BUY THIS DVD, YOU WILL BE DISAPPOINTED! You've been warned! =)
