Didn't know they were doing another one. Last one I recall was the 3D CGI a few years back. Just saw the trailer, looks interesting, might give it a try. Also your notes on the new show seems to borrow elements from the CGI show

I'm not sure why hearing Pidge say "pretty sweet upgrades" bothers me...
Not 100% sure I like this new show.
Seen a couple of eps. Overall: eh...
Though the ep that ran Friday (caught the tail end of the repeat Sunday morning) has a new twist: The Main body can be any of the Lions. For Example: As the Lions were about to form Voltron to take on the Monster of the Week, a change occurred to put Yellow Lion as the Body (with two Chain Maces in place of the Sword) to get the MotW in to a state where they could then switch back to normal config to finish it off.
I don't know if it's the overall art design, the Speed Racer: Next Gen animation look, or just the overall story concept that has me not to enthused about this show. Then again, maybe I'm getting a little too critical in my 'old age'...
Thank you for the time...

i saw about the 15min of the 1st episode and i dont mind the animation, but i just did not care for the storyline at all.

Thank You Devs for Merits!!!!
The animation for this is about as bad as some low rent flash animations I've seen posted to newgrounds... I just can't get into it for that reason. Same reason I didn't watch more then ten seconds of the new Speed racer show.
It's never a good sign when decades old cartoon shows outshine your production values.

-Robeast attacks
-Lotor Does Villain Exposition about how he must have Allura
-Lions go out to attack and get butts kicked
-"Let's Form Voltron!"
-Voltron gets its butt kicked a little
-"Form Blazing Sword!"
-Robeast Death
-Some Comedic action / comment
-roll end credits
-only about 3-5 episodes didn't follow this pattern but all the rest followed this formula.

Any Lion can now form the body of Voltron? Anything to sell new toys..... I remember the old series, there was no way for any but Black Lion to form the body so it sounds like all 5 Lions must have been rebuilt completely.

Well, let's just say that Voltron and it's original anime series GO LION are a bit...different...

At :41 on the trailer you can see someone (Pidge?) wearing what looks a lot like a Green Lantern outfit.

@Inquisitor
Its growing on me. I just WISH they'd learn from Chaotic (which the first season's animation of that show almost mirrors this one) And use slicker and animation SOON. The lions look great, and I dig the new concept of the "hidden feature" but it needs some work.
Now playing on Nicktoons:
Couple of things to note:
-Story takes place about 10-13 years after the original series (my guesstamite)
-Voltron was decommissioned after an incident where the Lions were sabotaged during a victory celebration for their "final" defeat of Lotor. (Needless to say he gets better)
-Pidge, Hunk and Lance work for Galaxy Alliance.
-Kieth has gone renegade
-Allura still runs Arus
-First 3 episodes deal with getting the group back together and recruiting 3 new members of the team.
-All in all not a bad show (though not a great show either), hate the Animation Style but the CGI Lions and Voltron are pretty cool.
