Big Bad Beetleborgs (and later Beetleborgs Metallix) was a short-lived television series from Saban that featured three kids; Roland, Drew, and Jo. When they freed the humorous phantom ('Phasm') Flabber from the pipe organ he was trapped in, he thankfully agreed to grant them one wish, and they all wished to become their favorite comic-books heroes, the Beetleborgs, after accidentally being turned into rats. However, the kids found their wish had its consequences as the evil Magnavores from the comics were also unleashed.

With its younger protagonists and greater leanings toward comedy, the show seemed intended to mainly appeal to younger children than Saban's normal audience for the Power Rangers series. However, the absurdity of the show seemed to appeal to all audiences and because of it, the series rivaled Power Rangers in ratings. However, the show was unceremoniously cancelled due to the end of the Metal Hero craze in Japan, which ended after the Beetleborgs Metallix season, which meant Saban could not rely on more Japanese footage to continue the series.

The combat footage for the show was used from Juukou B-Fighter (first season) and B-Fighter Kabuto (second season), without using the dark and moody tone and the adult protagonists from both series. It was seen by some as an introduction to tokusatsu and henshin. Reruns aired on UPN Kids in the 1998-99 season.

Storyline

On a dare, Roland, Drew and Jo enter the supposedly haunted Hillhurst Mansion with bullies Van and Trip. Hillhurst turns out to be inhabited by real monsters, but one of them, a ghost ("phasm") named Flabber, proves to be friendly and in gratitude for the children freeing him from a pipe organ, grants them one wish. They wish to become the heroes of their favorite comic book, the Big Bad Beetleborgs. Flabber grants them this wish, but his magic does more than expected and also brings the Beetleborgs' opposition, the Magnavores, to life.

At the end of the first season, the Magnavores steal a picture of a new villain, Nukus and bring him to life to get his help in destroying the Beetleborgs. Nukus helps them out by planning devastating attacks and creating the ultimate monster, Borgslayer (a hybrid of all the Magnavore monsters), but is secretly plotting to get rid of the Magnavores. He tells Van and Trip how to defeat Borgslayer, and its destruction sweeps the Magnavores back into the comic book. Flabber is in the process of collecting the Beetle Bonders from the kids when Nukus challenges them himself, but as Art Fortunes (the comic's creator) warns them; Nukus is too powerful and destroys their armor, weapons and powers.

This kicks off the second season, Beetleborgs Metallix. Nukus teams up with Art's brother Les (who was the one who drew Nukus), who creates new villains and monsters for him. Art in turn creates new powers, armor and weapons for the kids.

Characters

Beetleborgs

The Big Bad Beetleborgs

• Beetleborgs / Beetleborgs Metallix / Mega Spectra Beetleborgs: Nukus and Vilor were later upgraded with Mega forms. To counteract this, the Beetleborgs were given an upgrade by Roboborg, who fused their current powers with their original ones, creating the Mega Spectra Beetleborgs.
  • Andrew "Drew" McCormick / Blue Stinger Beetleborg / Mega Blue Beetleborg / Chromium Gold Beetleborg / Mega Spectra Chromium Gold Beetleborg (Wesley Barker): leader of the Beetleborgs, armed with telekinesis, which he activated by pointing at an object and nodding his head. Drew's Blue Stinger armor received a "Battlizer" like ugrade after he used the machine that powered the Shadowborg on his original armor. His armor was modeled after a goliath beetle.
  • Roland Williams / Green Hunter Beetleborg / Titanium Silver Beetleborg / Mega Spectra Titanium Silver Beetleborg (Herbie Baez): armed with super speed, which he activated by snapping his fingers. His armor was modeled after a stag beetle. His family owns the comic book store where the 3 kiddie heroes spend a good deal of time throughout the episodes.
  • Josephine "Jo" McCormick / Red Striker Beetleborg / Platinum Purple Beetleborg / Mega Spectra Platinum Purple Beetleborg (Shannon Chandler, Brittany Konarzewski): armed with super strength, which she activated by cracking her knuckles. Her Red Striker armor was modeled after a flower beetle, and her Platinum Purple armor after a ladybug.
• Josh Baldwin / White Blaster Beetleborg (Warren Berkow): armed with invisibility, which he activated by dusting his hands. A new Beetleborg was created when Shadowborg stole the Beetleborgs' powers. The White Blaster Beetleborg succeeded in getting the Beetleborg powers back. However, it was soon discovered the White Blaster and Shadowborg were linked in like yin and yang - if one was destroyed, the other would lose his power forever. Shadowborg is destroyed by the Mega Blue Beetleborg. With Shadowborg's destruction, the White Blaster Beetleborg lost his powers. His armor was modeled after a hercules beetle.

The Astralborgs

• Astralborgs: 4 Beetleborgs who helped the heroes while the Mantrons were around. Created by Art Fortunes as a child when he and Les worked together on their only collaboration, the Lost Comic.
  • Dragonborg (voiced by Doug Stone): Modeled after a dragonfly, leader of the Astralborgs. Had a voice like Sean Connery.
  • Fireborg (voiced by Gene Holliday): Modeled after a firefly.
  • Lightingborg (voiced by Richard George): Modeled after a cicada.
  • Ladyborg (voiced by Barbara Goodson): Modeled after a butterfly.

Allies

• Arthur "Art" Fortunes (Rigg Kennedy): Creator of the Beetleborgs comics, who shows up time and time again with new ways to help the kids.

• Flabber (Billy Forester): When Jo accidentally hit the organ, it played three notes that released Flabber. Happy to be free, Flabber granted the kids one wish and with gave them the power to become the Beetleborgs. However, Flabber's magic left a door in the comic book world open and the Magnavores escaped. Acting as an advisor and best friend, he offers needed magic to the kids when fighting the Magnavores and Crustaceans, although his magic doesn't always work the way it should. He is the head of the Hillhurst Mansion and works to keep the house monsters in check. The producers of the show said that he was based on Elvis Presley, although most viewers thought he resembled Jay Leno more.

• The House Monsters: The residents of Hillhurst Manor, they cause as much trouble as the villains, terrorizing the kids when not doing anything else. They make frequent appearances in the ending credits, doing their antics.
  • Frankenbeans (David Fletcher): Called "Frankie" for short, he is a strange, lumbering Frankenstein-type monster. He was once kidnapped by the Magnavores, and held by ransom in exchange for the Beetleborgs' Beetle Bonders. Dr. Baron von Frankenbeans, his creator, showed up in a few episodes.
  • Mums (Blake Torney): Mums is a 5,000 year-old Egyptian mummy, but he can unwrap his bandages to reveal a "Grim Reaper"-like form under his bandages. He has 703 brothers and sisters. In one episode, two archaeologists came to return Mums to the crypt in which they found him in order to get rid of a curse placed on them.
  • Count Fangula (Joe Hackett): Loosely modeled after Count Dracula, Count Fangula is a vampire, a not so good one, but a vampire nonetheless.
  • Wolfgang "Wolfie" Smith (Frank Tahoe, voiced by Scott Page-Pagter): Wolfie is a werewolf and is treated more like a family dog than a monster at Hillhurst. Only Fangula can translate what Wolfie is saying most of the time. Probably the bravest and most cunning of the Hillhurst Monsters because he's the only one of the group who tangled with the bad guys at least once.
  • Little Ghoul (Lina Godouse): A Jawa-like addition to the Hillhurst group in season two, she lives in the basement and rarely comes out. A niece of the Grim Reaper, she is a grim reaper-in-training who loves collecting. She also has a short temper, which scares the other monsters even more than her true appearance under her hood. She has little to no respect for anyone; she does, however, have a great deal of respect for the Astralborgs.
  • The Pipettes (Traci Bellusci): A multicolor spirit-like trio of ladies who live in the pipe organ. They act as Flabber's back-up singers. They stop appearing midway through the first series.
  • Ghoulum (voiced by Dan Letlow for one episode only): A living stone statue type monster that resides in Hillhurst Mansion who often had little to say or do other than what statues do best, stand in place. While not the most active monster of Hillhurst Mansion on rare occasions he would join in on the other monsters' mischief. In one episode, he was accidentally exposed to a 'Bad Potion' turning him evil and causing him to grow into a giant under Noxic's control.
• Karato (voiced by Richard George) and Silver Ray: Two other comic book superheroes that the kids are fans of. When the Magnavores released an army of monsters while trying to kidnap Art Fortunes from a comic book convention, the Beetleborgs were afraid of being able to beat them all by themselves. Flabber agreed to use his magic on just that one occasion to summon other superheroes from the comics to help.

Villains

Magnavores

File:Magnavors1.jpg

The Magnavors

The villains of the first season, they were originally from the Beetleborgs comic until they were brought into the real world by Flabber on accident. Their hideout was within a crypt under the local cemetery. They have ability to bring monsters to life from their comic book world.

• Vexor (first played by Rick Tane and later by Kisu; voiced by Joey Pal): The leader of the Magnavors.

• Typhus (played by Kyle Jordan and voiced by Dave "Foots" Footman): Plant/Animal-like humanoid monster, prefers brawn over brain and his whale-like flatop is an extra mouth with which he eats.

• Noxic (voiced by Derek Stephen Prince): Android with coils for hair and white jacket. Can control machinery and other objects by removing his head and attaching it to them. Prefers to eat donuts all day long instead of doing Vexor's bidding. He has a older brother named Super Noxic, though technically Noxic was created first.

• Jara (played by Balinda English in U.S. Footage, and voiced by Rajia Baroudi): Female humanoid clad in red attire and white mask. She speaks with a Russian accent. Despite her face being remade 3-dimensional, she cannot consume junk food in the real world because the mouth on her mask could never open (she emphasizes this by saying that she has no mouth). She was bitten by Wolfgang in one episode and became a werewolf and enamored with Wolfgang, but by the end of the episode was returned to her normal form and retained none of her affection for Wolfgang.

• Magnavore Jet Fighters: Air-borne, wasp-resembling machine jets. Summoned to attack the Bettleborgs on several occasions.

• Scabs: Yellow-black goon squad. Unlike in most Saban adaptations, these grunt soldiers were barely used.

Crustaceans

The villains of the second season, based on the art work of Art Fortune's evil brother, Les Fortunes. They took over the Mangavores' hideout as their own.

• Nukus / Mega Nukus (Christopher Cho): A creation of Les Fortunes, the Triceratops-based Overlord of the 2nd Dimension. Hid away in Art Fortune's vault until the Magnavores took the picture and Vexor brought him to life. Nukus quickly set a plan to dispose the Magnavores and take over as the new villain. He broke Les out of jail to use the artist's skills to create deadly monsters that could be brought to life with the use of his sword. He had an advantage over the Beetleborgs as he destroyed both the paper he came out of and the copy Art Fortunes owned. Nukus also destroyed the Beetleborgs' original armor, weapons, and powers. He later gained a mega form, Mega Nukus, from touching Les Fortunes' transmographier device.

• Horribelle (Claudine Barros): Second in command of the Crustaceans, an insect-based sword-toting fighter and Nukus' right-hand woman. Like Nukus, she can summon a face-mask in battle. She also wields two swords that resemble mantis arms. She once rebeled against the Crustaceans by having Les Fortunes create the Astral Axe, so she could control its' powers. She has no mega form, unlike the main male villains.

• Vilor / Super Vilor / Mega Vilor (played by Kyle Jordan and voiced by Dave "Foots" Footman): Third in command of the Crustaceans, a fish-based, trident-toting fighter. He briefly gains a second form, Super Vilor, when the Mantrons arrived, and later a brief mega form, Mega Vilor, after touching Les Fortunes' transmographier device, though he somehow reverted back to his normal state.

• Lester "Les" Fortunes (Marshal Hilton): The black sheep in the Fortunes family, Art's younger brother. He was in jail when Nukus recruited him to his cause. Despite creating all the Crustacean monsters and their arsenal, Les never gets any respect or credit for it. At the end of the series, he goes back to jail for some peace and quiet.

• Dregs: Assorted monsters used as foot soldiers. Dregs came in two groups. One group was based off land animals and wore brown slacks and black boots (Spider Dreg, Stego Dreg). The other based off sea creatures and wore blue spandex pants and white boots (Fish Dreg, Jellyfish Dreg, Squid Dreg). Each group consisted of five different types of Dregs.

• Worm Tanks: Giant worm like vehicles summoned to attack the Beetleborgs on several occasions.

• Crustacean Jet Fighters: Air-borne machines based on the design of the Worm Tank summoned to attack the Beetleborgs on several occasions.

Evil Beetleborgs

• Shadowborg (voiced by Bob Papenbrook): Black evil Beetleborg created by Vexor from ionic DNA and insectite material stolen from the Blue Stinger Beetleborg. Not only is Shadowborg created from the basic materials as Blue Stinger, but he is enhanced with some of the powers of the other Beetleborgs. Shadowborg can run faster than the Green Hunter, jump higher than Red Striker, and remain underwater for 51 minutes. Shadowborg's architectural armor is modeled after of a longicorn beetle, perhaps the fiercest warrior of the insect world. With his Shadow Claw, Shadowborg can cut through any substance known to this planet. Was finally destroyed by Drew in his new form, Mega Blue Beetleborg. Unlike his predecessors the Green Ranger (from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers), Red Python (from VR Troopers) and Roborider (from Masked Rider), Shadowborg did not need a brainwashed human to harness his powers.

File:Mantrons.jpg

The Mantrons

• Mantrons: Evil counterparts of the Astralborgs. Created by Les Fortunes as a child to rival Art Fortunes' Astralborgs in their only collaboration, the Lost Comic. They were there to aid Nukus in his plans to get Roboborg, who ultimately made it to the good hands of the Beetleborgs. In 'Roboborg' (part 8 of the Lost Comic saga), the Mantrons were finally sent back to the Lost Comic for good by the combined attacks of the Beetleborgs, Astralborgs and Roboborg.
  • Scorpix (voiced by Bob Papenbrook): Modeled after a scorpion, leader of the Mantrons.
  • Centipix (voiced by Lee Hondo Woodford): Modeled after a centipede.
  • Mantix (voiced by Ethan Murray): Modeled after a praying mantis.
  • Hornix (voiced by Bob Johnson): Modeled after a hornet.

Supporting Cast

The denizens of Charterville who often interacted with the kids. Most of which were Roland's family. Even after the strange occurrences that have been happening throughout town, they never acknowledged the battles between the Beetleborgs and their enemies. Everyone still remained ignorant to the fact that Beetleborgs and monsters were real.

• "Nano" Williams (Vivian Smallwood): Roland's grandmother, Aaron's mother, and Abbie's mother-in-law. Nano is one hip granny and a trained martial artist. When she's not running Zoom Comic's or practicing her moves, she's often seen riding her motorcycle. Nano often helps out the kids when they're in a jam. If nothing else, she enjoys teasing her son Aaron.

• Aaron Williams (Kim Delgado): Roland's father. He ran the comic shop full time and is often embarrassed by his mother's antics. Aaron was last seen during the Curse of the Shadowborg miniseries. He was called away on business, leaving the shop in the care of his wife.

• Abbie Williams (Channe Nolan): Roland's mother. She primarily works as a real estate agent. With her husband Aaron away, someone had to run Zoom Comics. Roland very much wanted his mother to run the store, but she and Nano don't really see eye to eye and she also did not know much about running a comic shop. With a little help from Flabber's magic, Abbie's heart opened up and rekindled fond childhood memories of a comic she once loved reading. Afterwards, she took over Zoom Comics for the remainder of the series.

• Heather (Elizabeth Z. Lund): Drew's crush. No matter what, Drew could never tell Heather what he really felt. Heather also helped at Zoom Comics and enjoyed comic books too, especially Beetleborgs. During the Shadowborg saga, she developed a relationship with new boy, Josh, much to the dismay of Drew. The Drew/Heather subplot was never resolved at the end of Beetleborgs Metallix.

• Trip & Van (Todd Hurst & Patrick Seaborn): the comic relief of the series. The brothers constantly pestered the kids daily lives by flaunting their wealth and self-acclaimed superiority. Trip was the smarter of the two, whereas Van was a bit slow. They sometimes cooked up schemes to get richer, humiliate the Beetleborgs, or simply to cause mischief; often getting their unwitting chauffeur, Dudley, involved. They dared Drew, Roland and Jo to enter Hillhurst Mansion, which led the three to becoming Beetleborgs. Like Bulk & Skull from Power Rangers, they always got their just deserts through hilarious and zany gags. In the final episode of Big Bad Beetleborgs, as they fled Charterville, Nukus forced them to go back and tell the Beetleborgs how to defeat Borgslayer. They did, not telling them who told them to say it, then left town and never returned.

Beetleborgs Metallix

• "Bugging out" - in the first two episodes of Metallix (or the last two episodes of Big Bad BeetleBorgs), Drew and his teammates use Flabber's book of spells (or Phasm Handbook) to try and change him back to normal after Nukus traps him into a giant block of ice. One spell gives all three the power to change into somewhat larger versions of their respective insects (about the size of their fists), then revert back to human. By saying "Bug out!", they change into bugs. To become human again, they say "Bug back!" The trio are able to use this ability in either human or Beetleborg form, and will never lose it.

• Battle Vehicles: The B.V.'s are the Beetleborgs' heavy artillery to use when the city is attacked by Crustacean Jet Fighters & Worm Tanks. Housed in the Beetle Battle Station.
  • Chromium Gold B.V.: Chromium Gold Beetleborg's B.V.
  • Titanium Silver B.V.: Titanium Silver Beetleborg's B.V.

Battleborgs

File:Roboborg vs Boron.jpg

Roboborg VS Boron

• Roboborg (voiced by Michael Sorich): Arrived on Earth when all eight of the Astral Coins were reunited with the Astral Sword. Roboborg is summoned when the Chromium Gold Beetleborg holds the Astral Sword in the air and shouts “Roboborg!”. It wields a weapon called Robo Sword, with which he can perform the Robo Cyclone.

• Boron (voiced by Y.I. Otta): Les Fortunes created the Astral Ax, the evil counterpart to the Astral Sword, and with it Roboborg's evil counterpart, Boron. Used by Mega Nukus to summon Boron, simply by shouting out, “Boron, Arise!”. In the battle against Repgillian, the Beetleborgs tricked the Crustaceans into giving up the Astral Ax so it could fall into the hands of Titanium Silver Beetleborg. Boron then switched to the side of good.

Production

It was not uncommon to see cardboard cut-outs and wall decorations of the Beetleborgs characters on the walls of Zoom Comics where the 3 kids worked. Other decorations used included the costume heads of King Sphinx of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the original head from the monster costume Kappa from Ninja Sentai Kakuranger (The monster was used as "Parrot Top" in MMPR) which was used to create the costume Malevex. Toys from the Bandai Beetleborgs toyline could also be seen in various displays. Including the Special Edition Deluxe Shadowborg figure, in an episode which preceded Shadowborg's character ever appearing on the show.

Like other adaptations, some of the original source footage was altered for Beetleborgs. The Input Magnums, the original B-Fighter's guns, looked very realistic due to the black-and-silver coloring. In Beetleborgs, the gun's colors were changed to bright red and purple. However, the colors of the guns changed from time to time due to the blending in of the B-Fighter footage. Similarly, the American version of the toy was done in red and purple colors instead of the Input Mangum's black and silver coloring. In Metallix, the Input Cardgun colors remained unchanged (grey and black), but the toy line changed the weapons to a white-and-blue color scheme.

Big Bad Beetleborgs and Beetleborgs Metallix ultimately ended because the Saban crew were left with no more Juukou B-Fighter and B-Fighter Kabuto footage to adapt. Their predecessor, VR Troopers also ended for the same reason. Ironically, B-Fighter Kabuto was also the last series of the Metal Hero genre to air on Japanese television in Japan.

• Various monsters from both Beetleborgs seasons were re-used as enemy monsters in The Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog. Some of them included Scorpix, Shellator, Emily the Seed of Evil, Fangula Bat Monster, and 3 monsters from B-Fighter Kabuto that were unused in this series (an ant monster, an anemone monster, and a porcupine/stingray monster).
