I'm debating on making a new EDH deck based on a voltron commander and i'm wondering what are some aura's and equiptment i should make sure i run.
Colors aren't an issue right now, I just want to see all the possibilities.
Anything that i can't just find by looking up Voltron and copying half the equiptment from any decklist posted on here?

It all depends on what your commander is going to be. If it has built in protection (like Sigarda, Host of Herons having hexproof), some pieces aren't going to be as necessary. Not too many commanders that are preferred for voltron have built in protection, but it's something to consider when choosing.
Other than that, you're looking for hexproof (shroud is okay, but you're gonna be throwing stuff on your commander and shroud gets in the way), indestructible (Darksteel Plate is pretty much your best choice), mana efficient auras and artifacts (most power or utility for the amount of mana used to get them attached to the creature. Any of the mirrodin swords are a fantastic option), if your colors support mana reductions for either auras of equipment those can be nice.

Lightning Greaves and Swiftfoot Boots are some really go low costing equipments that will help you commander out

Geist of Saint Traft + Spectral Flight, Angelic Destiny, Elspeth, Knight-Errant, Darksteel Plate, Curiosity, Sigil of Sleep. The swords are good too, but giving your creature protection from a color will destroy all auras with that color :/

Hall of the Bandit Lord for any color, Shizo, Death's Storehouse for black and Flamekin Village for red. Basilisk Collar if you commander can deal non-combat damage.

So far it looks like i should go for Protection from REd black and Green inorder to not neglect some auras. unless there are any of those worthy of being ran in any color for voltron decks.

if you end up in blue Pemmin's Aura is a good one to have. It can provide, evasion, protection, and pump, as well as untap your commander to abuse any effects they have that require tapping.

Batterskull, Umezawa's Jitte, Sword of Fire and Ice, Sword of Feast and Famine, and Champion's Helm.
