JUKO BEETLE FIGHTER
(Beettleborgs)

(1995)
Teenagers form up to save Earth from the Jamal Dimension, by transforming
into the metallic Beetle Fighters. A sequel followed known as "B-Fighter
Kabuto". The Saban company in the USA, adapted the series into an English
language version by cutting out all the non action scenes, and replacing these
scenes with American actors and dialogue, then dubbing the action scenes into
English. The first series was called "Big Bad Beetleborgs" and the next
was "Beetleborgs Metallix", which was an adaptation of "B-Fighter
Kabuto". Saban also released three telemovies, edited down episodes of
their two television series. These movies were "Beetleborgs: Curse of the Shadow Borg", "Beetleborgs: Vampire Files",
edited episodes from "Big Bad Beetleborgs"; and "Beetleborgs Metallix: The Movie" edited episodes from "Beetleborgs Metallix".
