Coming courtesy of JoBlo.com, we’ve got a few Voltron concept pieces to share with you. These were apparently sent to them by Atlas Entertainment, who have been involved in a number of projects since the mid-nineties including 12 Monkeys, Three Kings, Rollerball, Get Smart, and the upcoming(?) Season of the Witch. The production company is putting together a pitch for another attempt to start up the nostalgic giant metal dudes franchise to compete with the Transformers cash-machine. Putting pen to paper on the script is the up and coming duo of Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer, who have heat from a number of unreleased films like Dr. Strange and Conan that they’ve written.
I can already imagine the teaser…
EXT. DAY – CITY STREET
A hummer jerks, shifts and wiggles, emitting motorized sound effects. As the shuddering gets more intense, it becomes clear the SUV is about to transform.
SUDDENLY, a building-sized robotic foot stomps the shit out of it.
TITLE: SIZE DOES MATTER…
…ESPECIALLY FOR ROBOTS
To be honest, in a battle between brainless robot franchises, Voltron would win by virtue of being about bigger things- what other metric would matter? Michael Bay’s gonna be pissed he threw in with the wimpy, scrawny, dinklage-bots.
I’ve attached the photos below, and you can head to JoBlo to see ’em in high-res. Hop back into the CHUD Message Board and give your take on the artwork, once you do. Will a constantly magic-hour, gritty, large-scale Voltron work for you? Is there room for a second brainless robot franchise, or will they have to step it up in the story department?
Enjoy CHUD bubbles.

What's up with Robot Cloverfield?
The least they could do was make their own designs, because right now that looks exactly like Optimus Prime,
Please don't ever do "CHUD bubbles" again. If you absolutely have to, at least try and make them funny because GODDAM.
I'm writing a screenplay about the go-bots. It's an indie drama.
This better not be my beloved Voltron! This looks like shit on a stick. BTW- I agree with Jack Deth…those "CHUD bubbles" are like cummy bubbles on the lips of Jenna Jameson
Yeah. The watermarks are bad enough. Please spare us.
Tried to look at the pictures but some douchebag scribbled some insanely unfunny shit on them. Is it a requirement for CHUD writers to have awful senses of humor? Christ, and I thought Devin was bad.
bill, my Rock Lords coming of age comedy will go head to head with your idea.
WTF, guys?! I like the CHUD-bubble about the robot lion trying to fuck the Statue of Liberty. The first one sucks, though. Maybe it should have been something like, "Stop stomping buildings and I'll gobble you robot knob, bro."
Nope. not funny either.
