Voltron

Voltron was a really cool 80s cartoon, that has made various comebacks over the years, but they were never as good as the original. Here is the opening sequence, which will fill you in on the story's background.

From days of long ago...

Now that you've watched it...you'll remember that Sven (in the white and black uniform) was killed, and Princess Allura took his place in the blue lion. This was one of my favorite cartoons back in the day. There was a little bit of romance (Princess Allura and Lion leader, Keith), a really cool robot, and of course, the whole thing took place in outer space. From reading various episode guides, it appears the cartoon was never really given a finale, yet has returned in two different formats. One featured vehicles that joined to form the super robot, the other featured three teams, land, water and air (each with like 5 members).
Is it airing now: not that I can find
