Captain Power - Soaron

Another of Lord Dread's evil henchmen who provided many an excellent target during the show was Soaron, Sky Sentry:


The animation techniques used to create the effect of Soaron swooping in to attack Captain Power were pretty awesome for the day, and the grating metallic sound effect used whenever he was on screen gave an immediate sensory cue that bad news was coming, and to get your ship ready for some combat!

While watching my dvds of Voltron this evening, I decided to research the voice actress for Princess Allura, and came to learn very interesting things about B.J. Ward. She is responsible for an astonishingly awesome array of 1980s female character voices, including Scarlett from GI Joe, Velma Dinkley from Scooby-Doo, Smurfette from The Smurfs - and she is still working in 2007, both in cartoons and video games! In terms of more 'mature' pursuits, she has also sung on broadway, and has released several albums - and she was a Playboy Bunny! She is definitely added to the hopeful list of 'People who would be invited to the ParryGamePreserve-con' though she may be quite too famous!
