Voltron: Defender of the Universe

Monsterpocalypse is one of my favorite games of all time. The only thing that I truly dislike about it is the random starters and boosters that the game is packaged in. I stand by my original belief that this game would have been improved if it would have used non random boosters (you see what you get). Well this summer Privateer Press is addressing this issue by introducing the Voltron, Defender of the Universe battle miniatures game. Instead of random packaging this new standalone game will come with a preset group of miniatures taken from the Voltron universe. The game will cost right around $50 and will containe the following items:

1 Voltron figure

5 Voltron Lion figures

5 Voltron force Galaxy Garrison Cruiser figures

1 Lo-Tron figure

1 Lotor's Command Ship figure

4 Robeast figures

5 Lo-Tron Skull Ship figures

4 health tracking tokens

4 dice tracking tokens

24 dice

1 double-sided game mat

1 full color rulebook

Not only will this game use the basic Monsterpocalypse rules but it will also be fully compatible with the rest of the Monsterpocalypse line. Last year this game would have been an instant purchase for me but right now I’m being a little more discriminatory on how I spend my hobby dollars. Privateer Press has started posting previews of the game’s miniatures and that is pushing me towards picking this game up (So I can yell “Form Blazing Sword”!).
