Voltron Legendary Black Lion

The Black Lion forms the head and body of Voltron. Paladin Shiro escapes from the Galra after being forced to fight as a gladiator. He is the leader of the Paladins which allows him to pilot the Guardian Spirit of Sky. In the show the Black Lion has the same mouth cannon and tail blaster as the other lions but because this version transforms those details are slightly different. Shiro is also able to manifest a blade the Black Lion holds in its mouth similar to ones that came with the original Voltron toys. As this lion is bigger than the others and has electronics the only accessory it comes with is a pilot Shiro. The lights and sounds are more for Voltron than the Black Lion so we'll save those for next time. Ditto the torso mode.





If you open my mouth all you see is face.



Pointy Tail



Wings that function more as rocket boosters.



Calf stretch


Tippy toes.







Because of the electronic guts the Black Lion's cockpit opens sideways


Shiro does dress in black, but not that much black.

  1. It's funny that Shiro is both the Black Lion pilot AND dresses all in black, since Shiro means white in Japanese. Probably because of his hair lock?

    1. Yeah, it's actually from GoLion. The black suited pilot (who originally flew the Blue Lion) was named Takashi Shirogane so they made him Shiro for short. Also Shiro can apparently mean castle, price, or yakitori intestines as well as white. I don't know what kanji they had in mind.
