VR Troopers

I saw a few episodes of these, but I don't remember much. Just really bad special effects for VRT and that one girl who had super strength but only in her pinky (or maybe she just used the pinky to exhibit just how super her strength was) in BBBB.

Was a huge fan of MMPR, didnt really get into VR troopers. Watched some of Masked rider and Beetle borgs.

A couple of years ago I watched the cybertron pilot which was basically what would become VR Troopers, but it started Jason David Frank from MMPR. Was funny to see

Also, didn't they live with, like, a mummy and a werewolf for some reason?

I think they got their powers from reading comics at a haunted house and then they kept hanging out there...for some reason?

a ghost living in a haunted mansion granted them powers from a comic book, but I think the side effect was the monsters becoming real, too or something.

I remember the girl from VR Troopers played in an episode of Power Rangers. she and Tommy had a thing.

Didn't each of these ripoffs crossover in a Power Rangers episode at least once?

I definitely remember Masked Rider. Not sure about the rest but they were Saban IPs so they must've been injected for marketing reasons.

Rip off is kind of an overstatement considering most of these had the same production company in both their American and Japanese versions.

SSSS was based on Gridman, made by Tsuburaya which made Ultraman, so definitely not lol. >_>

As a kid I loved VR Troopers almost more than Power Rangers, but going back its almost impossible to watch. They spliced together 3 different Japanese shows to make it and it shows. Some of the worst editing youll have seen in your life. >_>

Power Rangers had a crossover at the start of Season 3 to introduce Masked Rider, and the start of that series began after those events. However neither show acknowledged the other afterward.

Same with In Space and TMNT: The Next Mutation.

Sentai on the other hand has crossovers with Metal Heroes and Kamen Rider all the time. Usually movies. Ressha Sentai ToQGer vs. Kamen Rider Gaim as an example.

A real shame, cause it was genuinely good sentai. And the toys were fucking amazing. 11" fully articulate models with integrated armor. As in, the full armor was in individual pieces that you could latch onto the body, so that there was no loss of articulation. I'm a diehard MMPR kid, but Rohan was the best humanoid action figure I ever had.

I never saw Alien Fighters on TV. Of all the others mentioned I saw Masked Rider the least. Power Rangers was always my #1. SHSSS was my second favorite. Watching Syber-Squad now the action is still great and I love Tim Curry, but the other characters are over the top. The acting in Troopers and Beetleborgs didn't age well.

I remember an Alien Ranger thing happening. Didn't Billy(the blue ranger) have a romantic relationship with one?

The final 10 episodes of Mighty Morphin S3 was the Alien Rangers "mini series". Towards the end of Zeo David Yost had issues behind the scenes when it was revealed he was gay and stand-ins were used to play Billy. When the character was on Aquatar he sent a transmission saying he had fallen in love with someone from the planet and would remain living there for the time being. Billy was never seen again on TV from that moment, and David left the show.

Yep, there was an alien ranger arc that lasted for all of 10 episodes (I guess it was to use the remaining kakuranger footage), and in zeo it seems like billy did end up hooking with one of them. Also, tbh, MMPR season 2 is the textbook definition of production issues

I thought those motorcycles were a hilarious addition to the show, lol. I think this was around the time I was far less vocal about still watching Power Rangers lol.

Kim was my first crush, but I thought Catherine was cuter. still, she wasn't Kim and I could never feel the same connection, lol.

I found it funny they cut out the motorcycle scenes from the Zyuranger footage, but still marketed the toys as Battle Bikes. I guess they didn't want to show too much of Japan to keep the illusion of the show being set in California. I think they only appear in the background of one episode. The one with the Samurai Fan Man.

Then later they brought out original Thunder Bikes toys for S2, and the Shark Cycles for S3 which were in the show (briefly).
