Credit for the idea and thumbnail goes to TheDigger1. And on a sidenote; this is probably my most wanted villain-themed fight. Once, these two men were considered the protectors of the universe, leading a group of combining mecha pilots, while also piloting machines of their own, to defend all innocent life from harm, with Lordgenome being the leader of the Spiral Warriors, and Zarkon being the leader of the Voltron Paladins. However, they ended up betraying their friends and comrades, slaughtering all of them before taking over as the tyrannical rulers of their respective worlds. Thousands of years later, and a new group of heroes has waged a war against their empires with a combining robot of their own, taking on the same roll that they played back when they were good guys. While they were originally content to just send their troops after these new heroes, sit back, and watch, they eventually decided to take matters into their own hands. Both were pretty much the strongest people in their series at the point they were introduced in, being strong enough to take on the main characters' mecha with their bare hands. Their immense power is said to be due to them possessing massive amounts of life energy, Spiral Power and Quintessence respectively, which is also the reason why they've survived for so long. They also possess giant mecha of their own, with similar designs and abilities to that of the main characters' mecha. Despite all their strength, they ended up being defeated in an extremely close fight by the main heroes. While Lordgenome took over the world because he thought it would help humanity, Zarkon took over because of his selfish lust for power.
