What happens

Armored Fleet Dairugger XV (機甲艦隊ダイラガーXV(フィフティーン), Kikō Kantai Dairagā Fifutīn; "XV" read "Fifteen") is a mecha anime series aired in Japan from 1982 to 1983 for 56 episodes (52 regular episodes and four recap episodes). In the United States, the 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 (themselves adapted from another, unrelated Japanese series, Beast King GoLion).
