Voltron II: Origins

Voltron II, according to the official Voltron website, was supposed to be Albegas, the "Gladiator Voltron" as marketed by Matchbox in the 1980's.

Before the days of Youtube, I had seen very little footage of the program, leaving a lot to the imagination. I had combed the web for any scrap of information I could get about the series and posted it on my original Albegas page, which is still out there at cox.net - they never took down our sub-accounts when we closed our main account and moved out to the country!

Meanwhile, today you can actually find whole episodes of Albegas (or Arbegas) on Youtube and on DVD if you're lucky... What's still lost to history is *how* the series would have been woven into the fabric that is the Voltron mythos. The stories will be left to fan fiction writers like myself, who are intent on bringing the full Voltron Trilogy to light!

If Voltron II were a webcomic, it might look a little like this (click on the image):

I made this from salvaged clips of Italian-broadcast Albegas found on Youtube and ripped music and f/x from Voltton. Enjoy!
