* [[EvilCounterpart "Dracotron"]], the dragon equivalent of Voltron, seems like a shout-out to [[KillerRobot Lo-Tron]] from the ''Fleet of Doom'' TV special. Or perhaps even [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Serpentera]] from the later seasons of ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers''.

* The American original creation of [[https://voltron.fandom.com/wiki/Stealth_Voltron "Stealth]] [[SuperMode Voltron"]] can be considered the MidSeasonUpgrade trope[[note]](common in many SuperRobot shows)[[/note]] in action for a WesternAnimation series. It also helped start the more rounded design trend of Voltron in later series.

Here are the shout-outs found in ''Voltron: The Third Dimension''.

* In one of the episodes of the series, the use of drones to pilot the robot lions instead of the Voltron Force is reminiscent of when, in ''Series/ChoujinSentaiJetman'', the Jetmen were grounded and replaced with the [[AntiHeroSubstitute Neo-Jetmen]].
