February 2019 – Lions and Pilots and Bots… Dot Com!

By the end of “Lions’ Pride Part 2,” the final episode of Voltron Legendary Defender‘s seventh season, Voltron and the Galaxy Garrison have defeated Galra commander Sendak and his occupation of Earth, and they have destroyed an unusually powerful Robeast of mysterious origin. The planet has been devastated, but its people remain strong, and they open their world to beings from throughout the universe who have struggled and fought against Galra oppression.

And they come. Let’s take a look at the new arrivals from other worlds.

Although it’s difficult to recognize the species of many beings in this establishing shot, it’s easy to spot some Balmerans and Olkari.

N-7 (artificial intelligence), and Captain Olia and her two children (unknown species). The third being from the right is an Unilu with a distinctive headband, who was seen in episodes as early as “Begin the Blitz.”

In no particular order: Slav (unknown species), an Arusian, Balmerans, a masked rebel (unknown species) who helped to free Matt Holt, Olkari, Nyma (unknown species), Ozar (unknown species), Olia (unknown species)

In the left foreground, an Olkari ship (I think). In the background, Balmera X-95-Vox, as seen in the first season (but rotated, so it’s less recognizable).

Blades of Marmora (who are, of course, Galra), Olkari, a Taujeerian, Puigians, Captain Olia, and a Balmeran, on whose shoulder is a (presumed) child of an unknown species
