Armored Fleet Dairugger XV

Armored Fleet Dairugger XV (Japanese: 機甲艦隊ダイラガーXVフィフティーン | Hepburn: Kikō Kantai Dairagā Fifutīn, "XV" read "Fifteen" | also referred to as Dairugger 15, Dairugger XV, Armored Armada Dairugger XV, Armored Squadron Dairugger XV, or Machine Platoon Dairugger.) is a Japanese mecha anime series aired from 1982 to 1983. It ran for 56 episodes (52 regular episodes and four recap episodes). In the United States, it 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).
