What's with all the beetle borgs?
why were all the bad guys just rehashed beetleborg costumes? i'm not exactly a beetleborgologist, but i recognised them from memory when i watched this episode.
i know that many people could say, if you're old enough to remember beetleborgs, then you're too old to watch this, but i found a screenshot, and i saw all those red rangers and couldn't resist finding the episode. |

Re: What's with all the beetle borgs?
The beatle borges sort of look mehanical, unlike the rangers. Forever red was inta all the classics, not only the red rangers, Bulk and Skull, and Zack was one of the voices of the generals, Beatle borgs were from the same time. No idea if I am right about that theorys, but its all I can think of about the 5 villains being beatle borgs

Power Rangers?!?!
LOL! You are joking right? Hey Kato! Your privlages to criticize any other movie or genre have been revoked due to your apparent lack of maturity and taste. |

Re: What's with all the beetle borgs?
I noticed this, too. Was looking up old power rangers facts about the original show I watched many years ago when I found out about this episode and couldn't resist watching it, like you. Was nostalgically cool to see Jason and Tommy back in action along with all the newer red rangers. Very disappointing that it didn't end with a megazord, however.
Laboratory, grow up yourself. Grown ups dont feel the need to make fun of other people for their likes and hobbies, and they're grown up enough to know that they shouldn't just revoke other people's opinions. |

Beetleborgs at the time was owned by Sabain which also owned PR. They had the costumes so they used them. Many monsters through out the series have been seen in background shots or even reused as a monster with slight modifications.

Yes those suits were from Beetleborgs. Like dragon fire said it was a case of budget issues but I'm sure it was also a case of Koichi deciding to use something that looked like machines and those Beetleborg suits certainly did.
Granted only technically 1 perhaps 2 were actual Beetleborgs since the other suits were the Astral Borgs which were side allies in Beetleborgs Metallix. |

Amit wanted to use five cloacked figures who were trying to ressurect Dark Spector. He was told by Jonathon to use the beetleborg suits instead. Since they happened to be sitting their in storage.

Re: What's with all the beetle borgs?
I'm a beetle borg you're beetle borgs we're all beetle borgs.
Seriously though I always just thought it was because they had the suits, and didn't feel like making new ones for the Machine Generals. It's like if the Battle Grid suits from VR Troopers showed up as American exclusive rangers in a random season when they still had the suits. |

Exactly that is why they likely did it because they didn't want to make new ones so why not use suits that were still in good condition? Plus on top of which I doubt they had anything from Ohranger left to begin with anyway... a lot of those Machine Empire suits were probably too damaged. |
