In light of the recent box-office success of the Transformers movie, 20th Century Fox has announced plans to boost production of their Voltron live-action movie and franchise.  Fox is hoping that Voltron will appeal to the same masses with equal success. Like Transformers, Voltron was an anime series from the 80s which sparked a large market of figurines, comics, spin-offs and fans. It focused on a team of five pilots flying lion-shaped mechs which joined together to become Voltron, a sword-weilding mech used for the sake of defending the galaxy from evil forces.
