And the loser of the month for June 2007 is...

Garrett!

This guy earns the Loser of the Month award for being so useless that even robeasts based on him, complete with Haggar's improvements and upgrades, still manage to suck.  This serves as a double loser award in a sense then, primarily to the robeast that did its best to earn it, and to the loser it was based on, Coran's son.

The real Garrett is wasting air and resources in another dimension with his mom, which is how we got the idea to base a robeast on him.  We took one look at this weenie in his froo-froo shirt, dopey cape, and pitiful face and figured a dork like that would fit in perfectly with the Voltron Force!  (By "we" I mean Haggar of course.  Don't blame me for that mess!  I wasn't even Fleet Commander then.)

So Haggar created a robeast in his image to infiltrate the Castle of Lions and do our evil bidding.  During her research, she found out that Garrett was in the other dimension to begin with because his mom took him and left her husband Coran back when he was a baby.  (Not that you can blame her, really.)

Oh sure, Coran tells everyone else that he just "sent her away for her safety" or something like that, but you know how those diplomats like to save face.  If that's true, why does he spend so much time drinking and moping and whining to their picture about how he wishes they'd come back?  Who knows, maybe he thinks that one day the picture will come alive like King Alfor's tends to.

But Coran isn't the loser this month, his son is!  Anyway, his son's robeast was supposed to gain the trust of the Voltron Force through the usual plan of showing up on the doorstep with a good sob story and suckering them in.  That he managed to do well (maybe when you suck that badly, being a pro at sucking up just comes with the territory) and our robeast Garrett got himself in good with dear ol' Dad, the Voltron Force, and everyone else in the Castle of Lions.  He scored the job of piloting one of the Voltron lions, replacing Princess Allura, and landed in the perfect position to bring the Voltron Force down from the inside.

So what did he do?  He got greedy, tried to push around Prince Lotor, and managed to lose everything and screw our plans like a horny Doom soldier let loose in a cheap brothel.

When the Voltron Force figured out what he was up to and cornered him, he blew his cover, started taking pot shots at everyone (even Nanny, possibly the one thing this guy did right, except that he didn't kill her) and by then even his Daddy wasn't going to fall for his lame "poor me, I'm just an innocent robeast and mean old Doom made me do it" act.

So Garrett the robeast got what he deserved - a fitting end, and as a bonus, this Loser of the Month award!

As for the real Garrett? 

"I'm afraid to say, he has been written out of the will."
