In case you thought Voltron couldn’t get anymore 80′s, I am here to prove you wrong.

…I really have been watching too much Macross 7 lately. A.k.a. the show that reached peak 80′s without even being produced in the 80′s (it’s actually a mid-90′s anime). In a nutshell, it’s the sci-fi giant mecha version of Mermaid Melody, with a side of space vampires, 80′s rock bands, a love dodecahedron, and some surprisingly decent music. I’m…not entirely sure I would recommend it, since it’s such a weird series, but I love it all the same.

So, here we have a Macross 7 AU of VLD, which you’ll probably see a lot more because I have a heck of a lot of sketches for it. Details under the cut.

In the year 2047, the deep space exploration fleet Voltron 7 (Macross 7, derp) is met with an unprecedented attack from the alien Galra (Protodeviln), who are after the quintessence (spiritia) of the civilians. Standard offensive methods aren’t entirely effective; however, one civilian, Keith, uses a custom VF-19 Excalibur to join the fray–not to fight, but to try and stop the fighting by reaching the Galra through music. Unbeknownst to him or his band, their music produces quintessence, and will prove instrumental in the survival of the universe…

The band, “GoLion” (Fire Bomber) is made up of 5 members: Keith: lead vocals, guitar (Basara)

Technical “leader” of the band, although it’s more of a co-leadership with Shiro. Was found and raised by Shiro, and lives with him in Akusho. Apparently some part Galra (Deviln), but it’s never made clear and isn’t considered an issue. A strict pacifist with a short temper and a passion for music. Owns a custom Valkyrie and is an ace pilot.

Pidge: secondary vocals, bass (Mylene)

Daughter of Mayor Colleen and Commander Holt, and perhaps as a result, an ace pilot. One-half Altean (Zentraedi) from her mother’s side. Has a pet named Rover (Guvava). Her brother, Matt (Gamlin), is in the military and generally doesn’t approve of her running off to join a band/holds a grudge against Keith. Said grudge has nothing to do with Pidge crushing on Keith (it actually has more to do with Keith getting in the way of battles). Lives alone, and spends most of her time in Akusho.

Lance: secondary guitar

Unfortunately the original Fire Bomber only had four members, so Lance is an original addition…ehehe. Rivals with Keith as always. Acts as a brother figure to Pidge, since she rarely sees her family and generally grew up alone.

Hunk: drums (Veffidas)

Altean, good friends with Pidge. Usually practices with Pidge if nobody else is there, and is always willing to lend an ear when she vents about Keith.

Shiro: keyboard (Ray)

Ex-military, after an accident which cost him his right arm and he was the only survivor. After an aimless period eventually found and raised Keith (In this AU he is a lot older obviously). The true leader of the band, despite Keith saying otherwise.

In addition, Allura (Akiko) is their producer, and a long time friend of Shiro (perhaps more?), and Coran (Dr. Chiba) has enlisted GoLion in researching Sound Energy.

As for Matt being in Gamlin’s shoes… I’m sorry. That will definitely remove the love triangle aspect of the original Macross 7. But I couldn’t really picture Lance being the strict kind of guy Gamlin is, even if he is Keith’s rival. So I went with Matt instead, unless someone can think of something else.
