This incarnation of Voltron was adapted from the Japanese Dairugger television show. Though less successful than the Lion Force incarnation, the story and team have been further developed into more original directions in the few further expressions of the property. As Voltron was always marketed as a single series, "Vehicle Force" is not a canonical name, but is widely-used in the fandom to distinguish this incarnation from the others. Another common nickname is "Vehicle Voltron".
