"Voltron: Defender of the Universe" film/TV

[Dr Mordrid]

It's early on yet, but here's the concept art for the film.

Screenplay: Thomas Donnelly & Joshua Oppenheimer (team: Conan, Doctor Strange)

There's also a new TV series, Voltron Force, coming in 2011

The concept art makes it look like they are heading slightly in the same direction as the Transformers movies; i.e. less solid blocks, more exposed mechanical parts.

Have no idea what to think about it though. Loved the TV show as a kid and I had all the toys (lions and vehicles and spaceships/jets/whatever), but it's barely watchable now. It could be a really awesome movie or it could be another Transformers or GI Joe.

Is it just me or are the lions a lot larger than they were originally?

[Dr Mordrid]

1 arm = 1 lion, but perhaps a bit larger proportionately.

Not enough to go into a canon frenzy over IMO.

One thing I'd like to see them do that they really did not do in the original cartoon but they did somewhat in the 3rd Dimension and the comics was to show the lions having some sort of instinctual behavior. Not full personalities but maybe just behaviors. Other than that the third Dimension should not be used in any other sense as inspiration for the movie.

Looks like the image was mirrored except for the Statue of Liberty. Sorry fanboy reaction.
