The IGF-Atlas is a giant warship constructed by Samuel Holt and the Galaxy Garrison using a combination of Earth and Altean technology recovered from the Castle of Lions. The ships can transform into a giant robot that dwarfs Voltron.
History[]
The Atlas was created using the data Sam Holt got from Coran before he returned to Earth. However, they were unable to find a power source that was able to properly power the ship before the Galra Empire began to invade Earth. Eventually, they were able to power it with the crystal that was created from the remains of the Castle of Lions.
With the Atlas, the Galaxy Garrison along with the Paladins managed to end the invasion and prevent the attempted destruction of Earth. Later, when a mysterious Robeast appeared it managed to support Voltron and managed to transform into a giant robot which was unlocked by Shiro.
Sometime later after Earth officially joined the Voltron Coalition the Atlas was seen being repaired, maintained, and updated by Coran and the Coalition. Around six months after the victory over the Galra, the Atlas was fully repaired and ready to lead the mission to free the last worlds under Galra control.
Weapons & Abilities[]
According to Samuel Holt, the Atlas has been out fitted with Earths's most advanced technology. The Atlas houses many powerful weapons. On its starboard and port side, it houses multiple cannons that deal heavy damage. The ship also had a fusion cannon in the middle. At the front of the ship there is an EMP laser cannon. It can house the lions ,MFE-Ares Fighters, and Coalition transport/fighters. The ship first flew after being powered by the Garrison's particle barrier but fell immediately after take off. Later Coran powers the ship with the diamond that was left over from the destruction of the Castle of Lions, which allows it to transform into a giant Voltron-esqe robot. During the final battle against Honerva, the Atlas merged with Voltron through the energy channeled by the Balmerans.
Despite being incredibly powerful, Atlas does have a few weaknesses of its own, which make its overall power actually pale in comparison. The robot noted to be slow in movement (only slightly faster than Voltron without upgraded wings) and susceptible to energy absorption. Not only that, during its employment, its abilities seemed more limited due to Galaxy Garrison's limited resources during its construction. As such, by the end of Sendak's invasion, Atlas is currently undergoing several improvements by the coalition.
