bullet::::- black lion ("kurojishi"): piloted by keith in the original series, the black lion forms the main body of voltron. later piloted by allura in two episodes before being piloted by daniel in "voltron force". in "legendary defender" it is piloted by shiro, having originally been piloted by zarkon prior to his corruption, and is also briefly piloted by keith. unlike the other lions, the black lion did not have a "closed" hangar. throughout the series, the black lion's hangar is located on the large tower fronting the castle, which was previously occupied by a winged lion statue which hid it. when the black lion was first activated, this statue crumbled apart to reveal it, and the black lion folded its seldom-used wings. among its various weapons are a plasma blaster, cross beam, shoulder cannon, mouth dagger, and a full array of mk.1 fang missiles. in "voltron: the third dimension", it is shown that the winged lion statue literally morphs into the black lion when the lion is launched. in "voltron force", black lion gains a "tail shock" and its hangar is the central tower of the castle, which opens to deploy the black lion. additionally, the "default" configuration of voltron is also known as black center. in all media, when the black lion forms the body of voltron, his weapon is the blazing sword. in "legendary defender" the black lion was created from a comet that crashlanded on emperor zarkon's home planet.

bullet::::- sky marshall wade (voiced by garry chalk): exclusive to "voltron force", he is a dangerous, arrogant, crazy, corrupt official who simply wants money and power, having the highest seat of power in the galaxy alliance. originally a galaxy alliance cadet, wade tried to become a voltron pilot, but he was rejected because the black lion found him unworthy. rejected and humiliated, this caused wade to go insane. it is revealed that he deeply saw voltron as simply power and not as defender of the universe and this is one of the reasons why he was not worthy enough to become a voltron pilot. from there, he engineered the lions' being outlawed by sabotaging them to go berserk and took the black lion to reverse engineer its technology so as to create his own robot lion that he could control via virtual interface along with his remote controlled robot soldiers. however, during his attempts to reverse engineer the black lion, wade was unable to fully understand its technology because voltron was created by both science and magic. coran tells the voltron cadets that wade "wanted to be better than voltron". when the voltron force reassembled, wade used his robot lion to try to eliminate them, but his creation was absorbed by kala, and he was rendered unconscious throughout the remainder of the fight. he later reappears with a dual-pronged effort to destroy the voltron force, who make many efforts to expose his crimes and free the alliance. some of their successes to defeat wade include stopping him from mining on a defenseless planet and freeing political prisoners from his maximum security prison. wade even bad mouths the voltron force simply because they are the pilots and not him out of jealousy. using a cordite bullet to take control of voltron, wade interfaces with it and christens it "wadetron" while attacking a city nearby. though his plan failed and he is finally arrested for his crimes, wade learns of his mental link to kala and is later freed by her as he allows himself to be assimilated into her lider robeast body so he can use its ability to fuse with voltron. at the end, wade was defeated and vince tells wade that he was never meant to be part of voltron and he never will.
