The IGF-Atlas is a ship created by the Galaxy Garrison. It was created to defend the Earth from the Galra and was eventually used as a replacement for the Castle of Lions. It's powered by the diamond created from the crushed remains of the Castle of Lions. It can turn into a giant robot that is 20 times the size of Voltron.

History

The Atlas was created using the data Sam Holt got from Coran before he returned to Earth. However, they were unable to find a power source that was able to properly power the ship before the Galra Empire began to invade Earth. However, they were able to finally able to power it with the crystal that was created from the remains of the Castle of Lions.

With the Atlas, the Galaxy Garrison along with the Paladins managed to end the invasion and prevent the attempted destruction of Earth. Later, when a mysterious Robeast appeared it managed to support Voltron and managed to transform into a giant robot which was unlocked by Shiro.

Sometime later after Earth officially joined the Voltron Coalition the Atlas was seen being repaired, maintained, and updated by Coran and the Coalition.

Powers and Abilties

The Atlas possesses numerous small energy cannons along with main turret with twin larger cannons with firepower enough to destroy Galra Cruisers. As with its predecessor Castle of Lions, Atlas can form particle barrier around it as additional defense, which more powerful since it can withstand prolonged hit from combined beam of multiple Zaiforge Cannons. Even so, the formed barrier seemed to lacked the ability to fire energy blasts from itself.

Atlas' greatest ability is reconfiguring itself into a giant robot that is controlled by Shiro. In both robot and ship form, Atlas' hull is very durable, enable it to endure severe punishments greater than Voltron, which already near-indestructible, as it showed no outwards signs of damage from battle against the mysterious mech. In addition of immense strength befitting to its size, it can attack enemies from distance with wrist-mounted laser cannons.

Despite being incredibly powerful, Atlas does have a few weaknesses of its own, which make its overall power actually pale in comparison. The robot noted to be slow in movement (only slightly faster than Voltron) and suspectible to energy absorption. Not only that, during its employment, its abilities seemed more limited due to Galaxy Garrison's limited resources during its construction. As such, by the end of Sendak's invasion, Atlas is currently undergo several improvements.
