Big Bad Beetleborgs
Tags: good versus evil

Plot synopsis:
=== Season 1 ===
Set in the fictional town of Charterville, three "typical average kids"—two siblings, Drew (Wesley Barker) and Jo (Shannon Chandler/Brittany Konarzewski), and their friend Roland (Herbie Baez)--enter the supposedly haunted Hillhurst Mansion after accepting a dare from rich snobs Van and Trip. The house is revealed to be the home of real monsters when the kids accidentally bump a pipe organ, releasing a phantasm named Flabber (Billy Forester). He proves to be friendly, and in return for releasing him, offers to grant them one wish. They wish to become their comic book heroes, the Big Bad Beetleborgs. However, this also brings the Beetleborgs' sworn enemies to life: the Magnavores, led by the evil Vexor, who would summon monsters from the comic books to battle the Beetleborgs. Roland's mom and dad run the comic book shop along with his grandmother Nano. In a 6-parter, Vexor created his own Beetleborg, Shadowborg, which was a match for the Beetleborgs and briefly took their powers. They had to call a temporary Beetleborg (White Blaster Beetleborg) Josh, and after Shadowborg was destroyed, Josh lost his powers. The Beetleborgs would meet the Beetleborgs comic creator, Art Fortunes, during this six-part story in order for him to create the White Blaster Beetleborg and the Mega Blue Beetleborg.
In the penultimate episode of the first season, the Magnavores steal a picture of a new villain named Nukus from Art Fortunes' office. They bring him to life to enlist his help in destroying the Beetleborgs. Nukus assists them by planning devastating attacks on the city and creating Borgslayer, a hybrid of all the Magnavore monsters. Unbeknownst to the Magnavores, Nukus was actually plotting to get rid of them. Nukus tells Van and Trip (who were fleeing Charterville during Borgslayer's attack to their father's country estate) how to defeat Borgslayer, and orders them to take the information to the Beetleborgs. They succeed in destroying Borgslayer, causing the Magnavores to be swept back into the comics.
=== Season 2 ===
At the start of Season 2, Nukus has challenged the Beetleborgs. Despite Art's warning that Nukus is too powerful, they face him anyway. Nukus quickly wipes them out, destroying their Beetleborgs armor, weapons, and powers in one fell swoop.
These events lead directly into the second season Beetleborgs Metallix. In it, the Crustaceans have replaced the Magnavores as the Beetleborgs' new arch-enemy. Nukus discovers that his creator is actually Art's incarcerated brother Les Fortunes. Nukus busts Les out of prison. Les now serves him by creating new villains to serve him and monsters for him to use. In response, Art creates new powers, armor, vehicles, and weapons, which Flabber then brings to life again for the kids, who rechristen themselves as Beetleborgs Metallix, hence the title. They are later assisted by the Astralborgs, four Beetleborgs created by Art Fortunes as a child when he and Les worked together on their only collaboration, the Lost Comic.
Nukus formed his own evil group named the Crustaceans. He would later recruit more faithful followers from the Lost Comic in the form of the Mantrons. Nukus and Vilor eventually gained upgraded Mega forms. To counteract this, the Beetleborgs were given an upgrade by Roboborg who fused their Metallix powers with their original powers creating the Mega Spectra Beetleborgs. Vilor's "mega" form did not last long and he quietly returned to his original look without explanation. However, Mega Nukus retained his upgraded look.
The series concluded with the Beetleborgs gaining the enemy Boron as an ally, stripping Nukus of his greatest weapon during the fight against Repgillian. Les Fortunes makes the decision to return willingly to Charterville Prison, disabling Nukus' ability to create new monsters out of illustrations. With no known way of returning the Crustaceans to the comic world, the Beetleborgs were left with an unresolved final battle with what was left of their foes.

Review: Okay, I guess....
This show had a rather interesting premise.
The main stuff of a story was a lot like Power Rangers, but sub stories dealt with the these goofy monsters that lived in a haunted house.
They had some interesting stories and was a lot better than the other stuff on the Fox line up..
This was my favorite show when I was in 3rd grade.
It was better than Power Rangers because the heroes are usually younger kids that work at a comic book shop who are less taller and their costumes are based on an insect just like the kamen riders.
They fight monsters that were brought to live from comic books.
My favorite character was The Blue Stinger, I even had the action figure of this guy but I threw it away a long time ago.
It was first aired on Fox Kids then in a few short years later, it was re-running on UPN United Paramount Pictures.
It was a good show..
One of my joys as a kid..
Aside from Power Rangers, Big Bad Beetleborgs was one of my many favorite television shows to look forward to.
It had a lot of stuff that Power Rangers had, which was enough for me to watch it.
But it was a bit different though.Three kids who love comic books are given one wish by a friendly ghost, Flabber.
The kids wish they were their favorite comic book characters, the Beetleborgs!
Drew McCormick becomes the Blue Stinger Beetleborg, and the leader of the team.
He gains the power of telekenesis.
His sister, Jo, becomes the Red Striker Beetleborg.
She gains the power of super strength.
Their friend, Roland Williams, becomes the Green Hunter Beetleborg.
He gains the power of super speed.
After fighting several monsters made by the bad guys, the Magnavors, they create their own Beetleborg, the evil Shadowborg.
Shadowborg easily decimates them, causing the team to make a 4th member.
An artist creates the White Blaster Beetleborg, and gives the powers to a classmate of theirs, Josh Baldwin.
Josh defeats Shadowborg, but loses his powers as well.Score: ***.5/*****.
Beetleborgs Metallix Rule!!!.
I thought that the Big Bad Beetleborgs Movie kicked major butt!!!
Exspecially Nukus (he's sooooo hot)!
I like watch that movie 24-7, and I never get tired of it.
Go Beetleborgs!!!
I think that the whole series of Beetleborgs were cool mainly the Metallix series (cause Nukus was in it); I like it because they didn't repeat the episode plots.
Like power rangers it was the same thing all the time with the vilains, but in Beetleborgs it was different.
They had more to it, it was funny, and the people in them acted better it didn't seem fake like in power rangers..
Now that I look back at this, I think it was a pretty good show.
It was something like Power Rangers, but not as good.
especailly the Power Rangers series today.
They are 10 times better than this.
But I was never happy when a show had a kid as a hero, but this show pulled it off with 3 kids as superheroes.
I think if the japanese version "Metal Heroes" continued in Japan, Beetleborgs would probably have gotten better just like Power Rangers..
Something positive.
This show was okay.
It had some neat stories and some effects which were not all that bad.
It had a more serious aspect to it than early Power Rangers.
The biggest problem with this show was how it tried to fit in too much, with all weapons, allies and villains.
They should of tried to space it out.
Otherwise, this was a pretty good show..
Otherwise, this was a pretty good show..
Big Bad Beetleborgs was the best.
The actors were talented , they were very young but great.
If they want , they can have a long career.
It was better than Powers Rangers !
It was better than Powers Rangers !
I never missed Beetleborgs.
In Belgium and France, Beetleborgs was the best show.
It was great !!!!.
I enjoyed this more than the Power Rangers.
This show was actually really good: I found it to be really entertaining.
The show is underrated.
I remember watching this as a child on Fox Kids, and I just fell in love with it; in fact, it was one of my favourite shows out there.
I never ever wanted to miss an episode of BeetleBorgs.
It's very similar to the Power Rangers if you ask me or anybody.
Unlike the Power Rangers, which had several seasons, BeetleBorgs ran for short time and delivered from start to finish.
Even season one was just as good as season two.
What I enjoyed the most about BeetleBorgs were the characters.
I like the name of the show "BeetleBorgs", and I like the idea where monsters came out of comic books..
Beetle Blast!.
I have had a fascinations with insects, robots, monsters, and drawing and this season was the perfect marriage of those things.
I only saw this season but is was good enough.
I liked how the heroes were able to think and use their powers outside of battle creatively, especially with their "Bug-out" power which transforms them into insects.
The armor, weapons, vehicles and monsters were very cool, especially head villain Nukus (played with utter glee by Christopher Cho).
Do I have a favorite Beetleborg?
One particular episode with a Piranha monster proved that.
It was good mindless relief for a time and the other factor was that the show ended rather abruptly due to lack of stock footage.
Otherwise it was a good, less violent and equally enjoyable experience..
yes, something obviously went wrong, sometimes we see horrible and awful things sometimes we can't control but this this was obviously a tradegy I do not know what in the world these creators were thinking how huh what?
Were they thinking you know?
Fox kids really makes some of the most worse and annoying shows for kids now I admit I got sucked into crap like the power rangers, and this show but the power rangers wasn't as retarded as this show,It makes absolutely no sense i don't know how I (I was young and didn't know any better and I was 8) and millions of other kids thought this was cool but now as I look back on it were we all on crack back then?
for advice if this show gets back on air for your sake Do Not Watch This Show!!!.
This Show is the best.
This Show is the best.
I woke up one saturday morning and found this show on Fox.
It was one of the coolest shows I've ever seen!
Wait, I'm wrong, it is THE best show I've ever seen!
It was at least 10 times better than Power Rangers and at least 5 times better than the original "Big Bad Beetleborgs"  This one had cooler suits, cooler weapons, and cooler enemies.
The Robot Saga was the best, where they had to fight robots.
This show is fantastic!
