* ActorAllusion: In a bit of a roundabout way. Hunk's original voice actor provided the voice for a [[SpinoffBabies young]] [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone]], and in "The Hunkyard", Hunk can be seen grilling up Fred's token Giant slab of ribs.
* FollowTheLeader: Possibly a coincidence, but there's quite a few similarities to ''WesternAnimation/SymBionicTitan'', such as [[MeleeATrois the multiple sides]], one being led by a GeneralRipper and another using crazy fauna as soldiers. But then you could argue that ''Sym-Bionic Titan'' took plenty of cues from the original ''Voltron''...
* FranchiseKiller: The cancellation of the show led the franchise to reboot on TV in 2016 with ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'' after it was rebooted for the comics twice (the early 2000s Devil's Due run and the 2010s Dynamite run), thus ending the 28-year original continuity, even though the first SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/VoltronTheThirdDimension'' was considered CanonDiscontinuity by this show.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** There was a Lion Voltron remake by Kickstart Productions that was slated to be released in fall 2005, but never came about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9pTzoV3mlk beyond a reel of an animation test for it]]. It seemed to take cues from the Devil's Due comic series, with the space mice depicted as robots and Allura with darker hair and uniform. Kickstart eventually went forward on a new production, which turned out to be this series.
** A second season was planned and almost went into production but it didn't materialise due to complications with budget funding, as confirmed in a [[https://letsvoltron.simplecast.fm/54 podcast]] from ''Let's Voltron''.
