Armored Fleet Dairugger XV Episode 1 - Galactic Clash

Six months into her mission to map the galaxy, the Rugger Guard reaches the eighth potential planet on her mission and launches the Rugger teams to explore it for possible colonization. Just as her crew sets up a base on the planet, the Rugger Guard is attacked by a fleet of the Galveston Empire. Aki and the Rugger teams' fresh combat training is put to the test when the Galveston fleet launches a Battle Machine during the assault.

The reason is that I added this video is that this series was heavily edited to become part of the Voltron series. The Dairugger footage was the primary source for the "Vehicle Voltron" episodes, though various footage was also inserted into the more commonly known "Lion Voltron" episodes.

As a series this actually has a better story line than Beast King Golion and avoids the creepy space mice whose rendition of the Can Can dance is something best avoided, though the most popular episode did have Princess Fala getting a spanking which must appeal to some people.
