I don't think I'd call Pacific Rim a "remake" of Voltron. It owes some of its inspiration to many of the old mecha shows, though. The homage is intentional, and something Pacific Rim has no problem flaunting.
Pretty sure Super Sentai put pilots in a giant robot a year before Voltron first aired, too.
(The new Voltron cartoon on Netflix is amazing, btw! Very well-written.)

After launching five different toy hunts, I finally tracked this dude down.
