This game stinks
Someone needs to make an online game where each player controls a single limb of a giant voltron-ish robot, and players can't talk to each other except by yelling a predetermined set of nonsense anime special attack names.

in power rangers sometimes they would just defeat the monster in their power ranger suits to show off one of their new weapons or something. always felt bad for those monsters.

Yeah. they loved breaking out some weird move where they'd combine all the guns they never use into a super gun just to blow a guy away, then never do that move again. total chump move to not even give the villain the dignity of a megazord death.

I like how the robots come apart on the shows yet they never show you a person using an individual lion or dino robot. they can't wait to combine that poo poo.

Because Voltron was a bad show, OP.

Because the episodes usually started with a slice of life sequence depicting the characters engaged in something mundane, OP. It would not have been appropriate to form Voltron during those times.

Why didn't the bad guys send more than one monster at a time? I mean, you seem to be failing at the 1 or even 2 monster at a time scenario. Why not give it a month or so, let the Rangers think they've won, stockpile the monsters and then unleash about 5-10 at once?

That or if you know the Power Rangers' identities, just reveal them to the world or step on their school.

Or write horribly disturbing erotic fanfic about them.

This is also why Voltron couldn't form at the beginning. They negotiated strict rules about that sort of thing.

They didn't make the big robot because the amount of strain caused on individual parts is much higher when they are all together.

Think about it this way, the amount of strain on one of the individual lions when it's just zooming around on its own is far less than when that same lion needs to support the entire Voltron structure. If they were always in full Voltron mode, the whole thing would be broken in no time flat. That's why Voltron is only every assembled for very short periods of time.

Devastator isn't a Transformer, he's the result of a combination of 6 of them. He's not a real person, he's just the group think that comes from the Constructicons working together to control one massive powerful body

I want to see a lower-middle class Bond who devotes all this non-mission time doing nothing but reading old upper-class books on dressing and ettiquitte, the proper way to eat a fancy meal, practicing one liners in his flat to his audience of house cats, all waiting for the call to come in that MI6 has an assignment.
