* In the stop-motion sketch comedy series Robot Chicken, Voltron has appeared "You Got Robo-Served", Voltron is forced into a dance competition against a {{Robeast}} ([[https://www.ebay.ca/itm/175847704587 Scorpious]] from the Panosh Place toyline).

Both of the songs danced to (the original "Work It Out on the Floor" and its [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong legally necessitated]] replacement) contain references to the cartoon series.
** The sketch "Voltron Force Assemble!" parodies the Vehicle Force Voltron trying to rescue a space station under attack from a Robeast (also Scorpious), but the transformation takes an incredibly long time. Upon finally arriving, they are far too late; the surviving commander kills himself, grieved that it wasn't the "real" Voltron, "just that stupid vehicle one". The sketch "Voltron Boner" sees a "Pink Lion" (piloted by a stereotypically effeminate Paladin) combining with Voltron forming said body part during a battle with a Robeast (yet again Scorpius).
