This Vehicle Voltron (aka Voltron I and Voltron of the Near Universe) is a giant robot consisted of fifteen vehicles created on Earth, that were divided into three teams of five, known respectively as the Land, Sea, and Air Teams. Each team was specialized in gathering data or fighting in their area of expertise. Each group of vehicles could combine into a super vehicle, with each combined formation differing amongst the three teams.

Voltron: Defender of the Universe cartoon continuity[]
Vehicle Force sub-series[]
Vehicle Voltron was originally conceived and created to function as a backup for the original Voltron. Its design was based on the plans of a human scientist, Dr. Lauring.
Devil's Due Publishing comics continuity[]
This Voltron was part of a crash program instituted by the Galaxy Garrison to reverse-engineer the original Voltron Lions after abducting them from Arus under orders from a spy for the Drule Empire.
It was first deployed after the original Voltron to recapture it until its pilots received new orders to support him. It was accidentally "attacked" by the original Voltron during the robots' first battle side-by-side.
Weapons[]
Blazing Sword[]
A sword that's almost exactly the same as the original Voltron's. The two hands touch each other and forms the sword. The blade is often used to slay Robeasts, usually by slicing them in half.
Wing Beam[]
Shoots destructive rays of energy.
Gyro Blades[]
Forms two discs of energy that can be thrown at an enemy.
List of Pilots[]

- Out of all the versions of Voltron, this Voltron consists of the largest amount of separate vehicles.
