Chistian Carnival 127: Voltron Edition

Voltron is a gestalt robot made up of five smaller man-operated mechanoid lions. He is known as The Defender of the Universe. But, as the theme for this Christian Carnival he is the defender of the Blogosphere. Mind you, I arbitrarily put you into lions so don’t get upset if you’re not operating the Red Lion or if you secretly want to sit in the Blue Lion. All the Lions are really cool and so are their operators. So Ready to assemble! Activate interlocks! Dyna-therms connected. Infra-cells up; mega-thrusters are go! Let’s go voltron force!
