Voltron AU

Voltron AU is an AU (alternate universe) within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom. In this AU, the characters of RotBTD are portrayed as characters from the popular DreamWorks/Netflix cartoon Voltron: Legendary Defender. This is considered a sub-scenario to Sci-Fi AU.

About the AU
Spawning from fanart, this AU places the Big Four, and other such characters in the fandom, as characters from Voltron: Legendary Defender. While the AU forces on the DreamWorks/Netflix version the most, the earlier versions of the Voltron series can still be included.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Hiccup can be portrayed as Pidge, cause of him being an expert with machines, with a miniature Toothless playing Rover. He can also be cast as Shiro cause of his prosthetic leg, it could also mean that Toothless can serve as the Black Lion, as the Night Fury is sometimes featured as a black cat for modern related crossovers.

Jack Frost
Jack can be portrayed as Lance, due to his sly, cunning nature. There is also the fact that the powers of the Blue Lion are very similar to his own. While his time as a loner and has wondered about his past, can also portray him as Keith

Merida DunBroch
Merida can be portrayed as a female Keith cause of her fiery temper. While being a princess that is ready to take part in a fight, could even have her as Allura.

Rapunzel Corona
Rapunzel can be portrayed as a female Hunk, because of her kind and loving nature and with one of her hobbies being cooking. Rapunzel being a princess can also cast her as Allura, with Cassandra or her father's advisor Nigel as Coran.

Big Hero 6
This team of heroes are the characters who are most commonly used in the AU, mostly due to the similairies between the two franchises (teenage heroes in colored suits, the presence of futuristic technology, etc). Though the fans' interpretations may vary, the characters are portrayed as follows: Tadashi is often portrayed as Shiro, Hiro is commonly cast as Pidge, GoGo as Keith, Wasabi as Hunk, Fred as Lance or a male Allura for fun, and Honey Lemon as Allura (Baymax is often portrayed as Voltron himself).

Heathcliff can serve as the Coran of the team, as he works for the family of one of the team members and does what he can to help them out; as he had assisted them in the testing of their gear and picking them up from Akuma Island in a helicopter. While Hiro's bot fighting bot, Megabot can be placed as the Rover of the team, as both of their screentime was short lived; as Rover sacrificed itself for Pidge and Megabot becoming a "toy" when Hiro put bot fighting behind him.

Hiro Hamada
Hiro's biotic skills and being a younger sibling that looks up to his older brother, commonly portrays him as Pidge. Being the leader of Big Hero 6 can also portray an older version of him as Shiro. Fans have also cast him as Keith, for the style of Keith and Hiro's dark hair, and the purple and black color scheme of Keith's Blade of Marmora uniform and the red on his Paladin suit, which matches the color scheme of Hiro's hero suit when they are bind together.

Queen Elsa
Elsa can very possibly be portrayed as Allura. Due to her leadership skills, for being the Queen of Arendelle and with the Blue Lion having ice-like powers; as Allura came its Paladin when Keith was filling in for Shiro while Lance came the Red Lion's Paladin.

Princess Anna
Anna could be portrayed as a female version of Coran, for her being silly and funny with a determined nature. While Anna being a princess can also portray her as Allura.

The Guardians
The Guardians can serve the five (counting MiM) Paladins that pilot Voltron, to keep the universe safe. They could even be former Paladins that passed the task onto five other warriors that make sure that Voltron's power is being used for good. The Moon Clipper can serve as the Castle of Lions, as it is both a starship and a home.

Dragon Riders
The members of the Berk Dragon Training Academy can be placed as the Paladins of Voltron, as they each ride a different colored steed, that are sometimes featured as cats for modern related crossovers and AUs. Since Hiccup is the leader of the Dragon Riders and rides a black colored steed, he can be portrayed as Shiro, while Hiccup's expertise of machines has fans place him as Pidge. Astrid being the second in-command of the riders can portray her as a female Keith, while Stormfly's blue colored scales can also cast her as Lance or Allura, as Allura later became the Paladin of the Blue Lion. Fishlegs' body form and his caring heart can place him as Hunk. Snotlout's pride and caring about his looks portrays him as Lance, as he later became the Red Lion's Paladin and with the lion's main color matching the shade of Hookfang's scales. Because of Barf and Belchs' green colored scales, fans cast one or both of the Thorston twins as Pidge, while not caring too much about their actions and not being very bright about something's can also cast them as Lance.

With the riders as the Paladins their dragons, Toothless, Stormfly, Meatlug, Hookfang and Barf & Belch (which counts as one dragon), can be featured as the five Lions that form Voltron.

Tip Tucci
Tip can be cast as the green Paladin, Pidge. Due to Tip's determination to find her family, with an alien and cat by her side, and with green being seen as her main color (due to her green hoodie).

Boov
Due to the sci-fi world of both Home and Voltron, and being a alien race that had their ways of life changed after encountering the human race, their original home planet can serve as one of the many planets that were conquered by the Galra Empire. To escape slavery the Boov, led by Smek, abandoned their home and went in search of a new home that is safe from the empire. Should they encounter the Paladins, Oh would listen to what they have to say about fighting back for their freedom, while Smek (being the coward that he is) tries to get his kind to keep on running; until the Boov saw the courage of the Paladins and the power of fighting back when they put their fears aside.

The Gorg
The ruthlessness of the Galra Empire and sci-fi universe of both Home and Voltron, can be the reason for the Gorg Commander being the last of his kind, as the empire invaded their home plant for the power within the Gorg's super-chips. To keep the pod that keeps the next generation of Gorg safe, the commander built an army of drones to fight any Galra fleet he may come across in his travels to find a safe place to raise the young Gorgs.

Defenders of the Wing
Due to their dark clothing, living by their code, carry blades and fight those who wish harm on others, can easily portray the Defenders of the Wing as the Blade of Marmora. A group of Galra resistance fighters that work together to take down the empire piece by piece.

Moana Waialiki
Moana can possibly be portrayed as Pidge, due to Pidge's mission to find her missing father and older brother, as Moana was originally given ten older brothers that she went in search of when she learned that they were in danger, in one of the original layouts of Moana. While learning her leadership skills from her father and prefers to be part of the action rather than standing in the safety area of the sideline, portrays her as Allura.

Flynn Rider
From the way that Flynn takes great pride in his looks, his "rival like battles" with Cassandra and becomes a true team player when he helps his friends, can portray him as Lance.

Drago Bludvist
Due to Drago's tragic past and how it turned him into the man that he is now, and had assembled an army to conquer the world, can easily portray him as Zarkon.
