I forgot this existed

Did anyone else watch Beetleborgs in their youth?

Yep, along with Power Rangers and VR Troopers. All I can really recall is the store they were always in. Their base, I think.

Beetleborgs is pretty underrated. I don't mind the whole kid hero concept as much as other people did. I like the "show within a show coming to life" plot. Loved it when Digimon(sorta) did the same thing years later.

I remember having the White Beetleborg arc on VHS.

I watched B-Fighter. And its not very good. Only good thing about the show was Black Beet/Shadowborg being a main villain. Other than that, its a pretty generic "Kid of the week" toku.

but that theme is still rockin'. BIG BAD BEETLEBORGS!

When the hell did they get a giant robot

>>15419647
I loved the designs, and thought the story was absolute rubbish. I wondered why they didn't do a Captain Scarlet and have the show be more serious. I also hated that they only showed the models and the vehicles at the end.

5-10 year old me would have absolutely psycho over Winspector/Solbrain in retrospect.
>>
>>15419647
I loved it even more than Power Rangers as a kid.
>>
>>15422310
Given that, MBE's enthusiasm over subbing that will gradually lower, very slowly.

The other only good thing is that crossover at the end, right?
>>
>>15422612
>I also hated that they only showed the models and the vehicles at the end.
Never really watched Beetleborgs, but the footage of the vehicles is very limited in B-Fighter. It's almost all stock with the same clips being used every time. That would probably be why they didn't use it.
>>
>>15423732
See, with me, I didn't mind stock footage; Thunderbirds launch sequences, the Angels launching off Skybase, etc all great stuff. In retrospect, knowing what happened, sure, I understand. But as a four year old, I was wondering. To be fair, I also thought the same about Power Rangers, as well as things like 'Why are they using fists and swords when they have guns?' And 'Why don't they have real villains and are adult men and soldiers instead of teenagers?'

Yes, even before I knew about robot anime, before I was even five, I had become muh mature gritty military sci-f guy.
>>
>>15422310
The kid heroes wasn't a bad idea, and "we want to be our favorite superheroes" was neat, but for FUCK sake who thought the wacky monster mansion was a good idea?
It was SO out of tone with the armored heroes
>>
>>15420009
This.
I don't remember the shows at all. I have rewatched some mighty morphin in my adult life.
I rented the VHS of beetleborgs when I was a kid and all I remember is a few stupid rhymes from bad guys
>"Lucas - Mucas - make me wanna puke-us"
And
>"you'll be mega blue when I'm done with you"
I have no idea why my brain held onto that as valuable information but I still recall those lines situationally

Who can forget this?
>>
>>15424007

I think i remember reading the monster mansion thing was supposed to be its own show, but for some reason they merged the idea with beatleborgs. Maybe to save costs or something?
>>
>>15424175
Well Saban is allegedly the jewiest of jews when it comes to cash, so i can see that. But they're totally diffrent tones and concepts it's like mixing sailor moon and the walking dead

I remember having a toy of the gun they had when they were Metallix that used cards you insert in the back to change the sound it made. Each had numbers on it but I also had one with a picture of fire on it. Don't remember where that one came from.
>>
>>15423720
The Blue SWAT+Janperson+B-fighter one? Its not very good either. It used that one monster the Beetleborgs defeated before becoming Metallix. Literally the only interesting thing about it was Kabuto(The White Beetleborg) needing to use a real gun to fight alongside with the rest. Which is also odd cause that would mean he counts as a Metal Hero as well. All the footage used for the White Beetleborg was American made. Kabuto was more of a comic relief that would show up for 2-3 episodes.

Unless you are talking about the B-Fighter+B-Fighter Kabuto one, then I don't know. I haven't seen B-Fighter Kabuto. But I have a feeling it might fare better I guess.

>>15424007
Thats one thing I don't like either. I think it would've been better if they scrapped all that. Except for Flabber.
>>
>>15424286
> But I have a feeling it might fare better I guess.
I doubt it, it apparently wanks Kabuto pretty hard over the rest of the cast.

Overall, Blue Swat's second half was the beginning of MH's spiralling downfall.
>>
which is better, this or B-fighter?
>>
>>15424437
>>15422310
Black Beet is the AbareKiller/Kamen Rider Ouja of the season though. There are some good fight scenes with him. But the rest of the show is nothing special.
