Pentalion is a team of fictional characters and third-party Transformers created by Keith's Fantasy Club as an homage to the Voltron lion team.

Keith's Fantasy Club

Each of the five Pentalion members turn from robotic lion to microcassette.

They can all fly and can combine to form the Pentacube.

Development

The mold used for Keith was designed by Eagle's TF. Keith was named after the pilot of the black Voltron lion from a suggestion by Mathew Robert Ignash, who also wrote the biography. The Pentalion team was named from a suggestion by Gerette Marie Ignash.

DubK Toys announced their Voltron themed lion set from Keith's Fantasy Club on their Facebook page in January 2014.[1]

Reception

The Good Morning, Cybertron! podcast for January 27th, 2014 discussed the Keith's Fantasy Club Voltron themed set in the news.[2]

The Shattered Cast Uncut podcast for January 30th, 2014 discussed the Pentalion team in the news.[3]

Fictional biography

When any of the Pentalions are inside a robot capable of holding one of their cassettes, the robot gains their skills, knowledge and powers.

Together the five cassettes combine to form the Pentacube, a mysterious and immense power source.

Lion #1 Black Lion - Keith is the leader of the team. A brilliant strategist who has vast tactical knowledge. Armed with deadly Cross Missiles.

Lion #2 Red Lion - Lance is the fastest lion of the group, with Pinpoint accurate Heat Missiles.

Lion #3 Green Lion - Pidge, the scientist, has enhanced senses and is armed with brutal Spike Missiles.

Lion #4 Blue Lion - Allura had mental powers giving her control over non-living machines. She is armed with powerful Thunderbolt Missiles.

Lion #5 Yellow Lion - Hunk is the strongest lion of the five, and comes armed with fierce Plasma Missiles.

Toys

  • Keith's Fantasy Club Pentalion (unreleased)
Five recolors of Justice Iron Paw, which was based on a custom kit made by Eagle's TF. Turn from robotic lions to microcassette. Comes with case, collector card and instructions.
Limited to 500 pieces.
The microcassette mode of this toy is thicker than a normal microcassette, meaning it may not fit inside some toys that only hold one microcassette. It will fit into toys that are designed to hold multiple cassettes at the same time by taking up the space of two tapes.
The Pentalions are recolors of the mold used to make Evil Iron Paw, Justice Iron Paw and Night Stalker.
