Reading the name changes at the end of that doesn't seem right - while I remember watching it as "G-Force", I really only remember the names they're giving in the BoTP column.
I bet you waved you arm in a 3 quarter circle after touching your LED watch and yelled G-FORCE! Then waited for your spaceship to turn into a giant fire bird.
I know I did.
I think I was around 6 when I watched it - late 70s - and I
do remember having my mom make me a cape.
Reading the wiki entry for
Battle of the Planets gives me a probably reason I remember the show as 'G-Force' but remember the BoTP teammate names shown on the G-Force wiki entry:
Battle of the Planets casts five young people as G-Force, consisting of Mark, Jason, Princess, Keyop, and Tiny.
The timeline also makes more sense for when I'd have been watching.
I loved that show - and always thought Voltron was a ripoff from it - a highly formulaic team of 5 teens, each piloting machines that combined to make a mega-evil-fighting super-whatever. Each team was the same - 1 girl, 1 "popular guy", 1 "lone wolf" guy, 1 little nerdy guy and 1 jovial fat guy.
Doesn't mean I didn't watch every last Voltron episode I could glue my eyes to, too
