Cadets

The three cadets are recruited by the Voltron Force to help battle evil when Lotor returns. The three cadets have a hyperactive nature at first, causing them to be burdens to the original pilots, but they gradually mature during their training. They needed to learn navigation, hand-to-hand combat, tactical combat, strategies, science, and trusting each other. The three cadets tended to work by themselves and think individually, but they begin to learn that piloting the Lions is better when they work and think as a team. It was later revealed that the three cadets were recruited to eventually replace some of the original pilots.

Air Team (Aki Team)

Air Team uniforms are dark blue, yellow, and white.

Sea Team (Keats Team)

Sea Team uniforms are navy blue and aqua.

Land Team (Walter Team)

Mecha

Lion Voltron (Golion)

A sentient robot created by King Alfor on Arus to fight against the armies of Planet Doom. Among Voltron's weapons are the Spinning Laser Blade, Lion Head Attack, Lion Torches, Sting Ray Missiles, Ion Darts, Eye Beams, Electro-Force Cross, Lion Lariat, Lion Saber, Argon Force Field, and the Blazing Sword, its ultimate weapon. Voltron was later separated into the five Lions by Haggar. In the first season finale of The Third Dimension, Voltron was destroyed, but recreated in the beginning of the second season, and would go on to be reconfigured into Stealth Voltron whenever he passed into another dimension.

In Voltron Force, due to Vince's mysterious powers, Voltron can reconfigure himself with a different lion to form the main body while the Black Lion becomes a limb. Additionally, Voltron can use Daniel's VoltCom powers to boost the speed of the lions, his formation sequence and himself. With Larmina's VoltCom powers, Voltron gains improved hand-to-hand combat skills and a Blazing Katana which he wields alongside his Blazing Sword. Also revealed in Voltron Force is that many planets have had connections to Voltron's creation - Arus, Earth, Balto, and Ariel.

Vehicle Voltron (Dairugger)

In the Devil's Due comic series, Vehicle Voltron was created due to the Galaxy Garrison reverse-engineering the original Voltron after abducting him from Arus under orders from a Drule spy. The machine was named "V-15" within the comics, and was first deployed after Voltron to recapture him until they received new orders to support him. Among its weapons are the Solar Combat Spears, Ray Beam Whip, Electro-thermal Blast, Eye Beams, Wing Beam, Solar Wind Blast, and the Spinning Laser Blades which are used as precursor to the Blazing Sword. Unlike the animated series, which depicted the two Voltron Forces as being family members, as with Chip and Pidge, or longstanding friends (as shown in an episode at the end of the Lion Force run and in the "Fleet of Doom" special, which brought both Voltrons together; however, the Devil's Due comic showed Keith and Jeff as having an antagonistic relationship with one another, particularly with regard to Lion Voltron's accidental "sneak attack" on Vehicle Voltron during the robots' first battle together while the Fleet of Doom special made out the two commanders as good friends.

Others

Robeasts (Deathblack/Mechblack Beastmen-Combat/Battle Machines)

Monsters used by members of the Drule Empire often sent to fight the two Voltrons of the Galaxy Alliance.

Planet Doom Robeasts

The Robeasts from planet Doom send to battle to Lion Force, reared in gladiatorial combat, are humanoid monsters created through a combination of superscience and Haggar's magic, usually from prisoners of war though some of them are simply giant robots piloted by Doom soldiers.

Robeasts in Voltron Force

In Voltron Force, a new series of Robeasts are produced by infusing Apex predators from various planets with Haggarium. The resulting creatures are biomechanical beasts with the Haggarium enabling them to normally weaken Voltron with special abilities augmenting their natural talents.

Drule Robeasts

The Drule Robeasts that battle the Explorer and the Vehicle Force are uniformly technology based and mostly piloted by Drule soldiers.

Dracotron

Exclusive to Voltron: The Third Dimension, evil counterparts to the lions based on dragons, the Dragons lived in an alternate dimension, but were so ferocious and destructive that they left it a desolate wasteland, forcing them to travel to other dimensions to steal food as well as structures within which to protect their eggs from their atmosphere. The most powerful Dragon is Black Draco, the black dragon. Five Dragons can merge to form Dracotron, an evil incarnation of Voltron with a superblast attack so strong, as indirectly stated in Third Dimension, that two blasts can destroy Voltron. In Third Dimension, the Dragons and Dracotron make multiple appearances and are destroyed each time, indicating that possibly any five Dragons can merge into a Dracotron.

Human Enemies
