The Bayard is the weapon of the Paladins of Voltron, which takes a unique shape according to the personality of its wielder. There are five Bayards, each of which can unlock a different weapon of Voltron's robot form when plugged into a socket in the console of their lion's cockpit. Different weapons could also be unlocked by combinations of Bayards, such as a larger sword unlocked by four Bayards in tandem.
