Having chosen the Japanese source material, WEP's plan was to create syndication package consisting of three Voltron incarnations: Upon viewing GoLion, Ted Koplar, president of WEP, decided that it had the most promise. The Japanese production company, however, accidentally sent Beast King GoLion instead of Daltanius. ДЄ tentative deal was struck for WEP to examine 3 series: Daltanius, Albegas, and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV.

WEP staffers, including Ted Koplar, WEP President, attended an international programming convention in Caan, France, where they saw footage of some Japanese anime series that they thought, once translated and localized, could appeal to a North American audience. Main article: List of Voltron: Defender of the Universe episodes Origin of the Series As this Japanese origin made it very difficult to include the sort of lesson-themed episodes or post-episode moral/education shorts common to many other American cartoons of the 1980s, the writers would occasionally work a very brief scientific lesson into an episode whenever it was relevant. In addition, further edits removed any cultural indicators of the show's Japanese origin, as WEP thought this would hinder American children's' reception Besides making changes to unify the two originally unrelated series into a common universe, edits were made to comply with US children's television standards which prohibited scenes of death, religious references, and gratuitous violence. The Japanese source material endured much editing in the conversion to its American incarnation.

The series' content is actually translated and edited from two Japanese anime series, Beast King GoLion (Lion Force episodes) and Armored Fleet Dairugger XV (Vehicle Force episodes). Though the Lion Force incarnation is far more well-known, the series as originally broadcast consisted of episodes featuring both the Lion Force and Voltron Vehicle Force.
