Big Bad Beetleborgs

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 70.95.86.1 (talk) at 23:18, 2 June 2006 (→Trivia). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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 book superheroes, 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. The combat footage for the show was used from Juukou B-Fighter (first season) and B-Fighter Kabuto (second season). 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.

Characters

Good Beetleborgs

  • Andrew "Drew" McCormick - Blue Stinger Borg/Chromium Gold Borg (Wesley Barker), armed with telekinesis, which he activated by pointing at an object and nodding his head. His armor was modeled after a goliath beetle.
  • Roland Williams - Green Hunter Borg/Titanium Silver Borg (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 three characters spent a good deal of time in the episodes.
  • Josephine "Jo" McCormick - Red Striker Borg/Platinum Purple Borg (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 Borg (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 - Four 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.
  • Mega Spectra Beetleborgs - Nukus and Vilor get an upgrade, going Mega powered. So, to even things up, the Beetleborgs are given a power-boost by Roboborg, fusing their old powers with their Metallix ones, creating the Mega Spectra Beetleborgs.

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. 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 an 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) - An 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.
    • Ghoulum (voiced by Dan Letlow for one episode only) - A livng 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 and Silver Ray - Two other comic book superheroes that the kids are fans of. They are released from the comic book universe by Flabber to help the Beetleborgs battle escaped monsters released by the Magnavores at a comic book convention.

Magnavores

The villains of the first season, they were originally from the Beetleborgs comic until they were brought into the real world by 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 (played by Kisu and voiced by Joey Pal) - The leader of the Magnavors.
  • Typhus (voiced by Dave "Foots" Footman) - Plant/Animal-like humanoid monster, prefers brawn over brain and his whale-like flatop is an extra mouth he eats with.
  • Noxic (voiced by Derek Stephen Prince) - Android with coils for hair and white jacket. Can control machinery and other things 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 brother named Super Noxic.
  • Jara (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).
  • Magnavore Jet Fighters - Air-borne machines resembling wasps. Summoned to attack the Bettleborgs on several occasions.
  • Scabs - Yellow-black goon squads summoned to fight the Beetleborgs on rare occasions.

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 (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 had. 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.
  • Vilor (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, Ptera 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 six 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 meterials 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. The Mantrons are:

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 Nolen) - 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. Afterwords, 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 desserts 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 then left town and never returned.

  • "Bugging out" - in the first two episodes of Metallix, 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 stamping one foot and 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.

Assault Vehicles

  • Beetleborg Attack Vehicles
    • The A.V.'s are the Beetleborgs' heavy artillery to use when the city is attacked by Magnavor Jet Fighters. Housed in the Beetle Battle Base, minus Gargantis.

  • Beetleborg 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.

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!".
  • 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.

Trivia

  • The end credits of Big Bad Beetleborgs featured a sped-up sequence with Flabber and the House Monsters running around Hillhurst Mansion.
  • The character of Jo McCormick, portrayed by Shannon Chandler, was replaced halfway through the first season by Brittany Konarzewski. It paralleled, to an extent, the situation in B-Fighter, when the original Reddle, Rei, left the team and was replaced.
  • Karato and Silver Ray footage came from the Jukkou B-Fighter Metal Hero teamup special. Karato is actually the metal hero Tokusou Robo Janperson; and Silver Ray is Gungibson, another Janperson character. The villain 'Goldex' was actually the psychotic and villainous Billgoldy, one of Janperson and Gungibson's enemies.
  • The Assault Vehicles were recreated in CGI for new action footage and the footage was re-used for several episodes.
  • Billy Forrester, who portrayed Flabber, won an episode of the game show The Weakest Link.
  • A character in an episode of The Simpsons was named Art Fortunes.
  • During one of the 'Monday Headline' segments on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, a picture of Flabber was sent to Leno, which got laughs from the audience, while Leno was a bit peeved.
  • Beetleborgs Metallix was canceled because the producers were left with no more B-Fighter Kabuto footage to adapt.
  • B-Fighter Kabuto ended the Metal Hero franchise in Japan due to poor ratings and criticism from fans of Juukou B-Fighter over the show.
  • It is believed that the Tokusatsu series B-Robo Kabutack, a children's series with minor links to the two B-Fighter series, was to be used as the source footage for a third season of Beetleborgs, but was scrapped due to the cancellation of B-Fighter Kabuto and Beetleborgs Metallix.[citation needed]
  • The costumes for Shadowborg, Ladyborg, Lightningborg, Dragonborg and the Green Hunter Beetleborg were re-cycled for the Power Rangers: Wild Force anniversary special episode, Forever Red, in which they represented the remaining generals of the Machine Empire.
  • 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, Seed of Evil, Fangula Bat Monster, and some other unnamed and unused monsters.
  • Some of the Beetleborgs monsters appeared in Power Rangers. Terror Bear, a Stego Dred, and Triplesaurus Rex were seen at the Onyx Tavern in the Power Rangers: In Space episode "Flashes of Darkonda" (a monster with Hammerhands' body and Mean Screen's hands was there). Triplesaurus Rex, Torch Mouth, Ultra Vulture, Crimson Creep, Unctuous, Furocious, Porkasaurus, Kombat Knat, Cataclyzmic, LottaMuggs, and Aqualungs were seen during the PRIS episode Countdown to Destruction. Ultra Vulture was seen at the Onyx Tavern in the Power Rangers: Lost Galaxy episode "Heir to the Throne" with Furocious at the auction there in "Protect the Quasar Saber". Hagfish, Seed of Evil, and Torch Mouth were seen in Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue as they appear in the Shadow World in the episode "The Fate of Lightspeed Pt 2.".
  • There were rumors of a possible Big Bad Beetleborgs/Power Rangers team-up for several years, but it never materialised due to contract disputes. Contributing to the rumor were photos depicting both Turbo Rangers and the Metallix Beetleborgs that were circulating. These photos turned out to be simple promotional photos from Toei Studio for their current shows, Carranger and B-Fighter Kabuto.
  • A third season, entitled Beetleborgs Force, was proposed but scrapped after the cancellation of Beetleborgs Metallix.
  • Possibly due to the fact that the original three B-Fighter's guns, the Input Magnums, looked very realistic due to the black-and-silver coloring, the American footage of Big Bad Beetleborgs changed the gun's colours 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 white-and-blue colors instead of the Input Mangum's black and silver coloring.
  • When Beetleborgs Metallix used the B-Fighter Kabuto Input Cardguns, the show's US footage retained the Input Cardgun colors of grey and black, but the American toy was redone in a white-and-blue color scheme.
  • Mums' Reaper form (which only appeared in the pilot) and Ghoulum were both recycled monsters from B-Fighter, where the Reaper costume was originally known as Deathgodian. The Reaper costume was later repainted green and used for the monster Evil Eye.
  • Although "Gargolem" and Queen Magna were portrayed to be villains in Big Bad Beetleborgs, their B-Fighter counterparts weren't exactly evil.
