From days of long ago...when I first watched VEHICLE FORCE VOLTRON, I vaguely remember one episode of the series that was dedicated to the history of the development of the Vehicle Voltron robot. Apparently, before Vehicle Voltron was completed (ostensibly using data that the Lion Force team sent back from Arus), the Galaxy Alliance had been experimenting with other giant Robeast-fighting robots, but none of them were successful. Does anybody else remember the episode in question and know its title?
That was episode 21 - "Meanwhile, Back at Galaxy Garrison."
In that episode:
- it is mentioned that the creator of Vehicle Voltron (using information from Lion Voltron) died and took his secrets with him. - The Garrison (although missing the information) continue to make other versions of Voltron, but continually fail. - Mongo is noted as a potential ally in the quest for peace with the Drules.
>> the issue regarding the missing information about the creation of Vehicle Voltron may have been a potential marker into the Albegas Voltron series. Maybe the secrets were eventually re-discovered. >> also it is not mentioned how the creator of VV died.

I haven't seen the episode in a while, but I'm sure the Alliance's attempts to create another Voltron were AFTER Vehicle Voltron's creation, not before.

This is why the Alliance were unable to successfully create another Voltron. Loran's (creator of VV) passing and his taking his secrets with him to the grave meant that the Alliance no longer had the vital data and information that was required to successfully create another Voltron.

His origins were never established. All that was mentioned of him was that he was VV's creator and that he took his Voltron secrets with him to the grave.

Had Vehicle Voltron been somewhat more successful than it eventually was, and more original episodes been produced (à la LV), they might've delved more deeply into this area...would've been interesting to find out about Dr. Loran's involvement in the whole affair.

Yes, I also remember thinking how much that "dull looking robot" looked a lot like the Decepticon "Shockwave."

The "high councelor" you are referring to may be Space Marshall Graham... I could be wrong. SGB?
