Yeah, but Voltron was a cartoon ripoff of Sentai, the series in which the Power Rangers are based off of (and really, in the early days of Power Rangers, the only non-imported footage was the stuff shot with the actors). In fact, the animation company who did the original Voltron series in the 80's was a subsidary of the people who'd done Sentai since 1975. So pppbbbbbttttttt!!!
I'll take my gold star now.
And to repeat something previously said in this thread: Power Rangers has evolved from the early days of bad acting, imported fights, and using action figures for the zords into something worth watching (and you can write it off as your requirement for Saturday morning cartoons). I'd urge all old fans to check it out. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
