B-Fighter Spoilers Ahead!!!!


The "worst" had to be Masked Rider as no part of that (outside the initial three-parter in PR) has been re-released. I will admit like everyone else that some of it is laughable now that most of the fans have had 20 years to age and learn (and PR also tends to suffer the same fate). However, it was unique and tended to be different. Why the went the "kids-as-heroes" route, I can only speculate. It is abundantly clear that they mismanaged much of the B-Fighter footage. Take the episode of "Convention Dimension" for example, which is partially adapted from the final two episodes of B-Fighter where they teamed with Blue Swat and Janperson (gonna get a little detailed here). Blue Swat got cut, Janperson became an extra hero "Karato" and BillGoldy became "Goldex" and Queen from Blue Swat became the male-sounding "Wingar". The battle was a nonsensical blend of American and B-Fighter footage, with a blast from Blue's Beetle Battler blade delivering a final blast which used the explosions from the group attack used against Queen and BillGoldy (anyone who has seen B-Fighter knows what I am getting at).

What hit me was the Shadow Borg saga, and the fact that the promos for "Forever Red" showed him being used as General Venjix (not the same as the Venjix from RPM). It was initially confusing to me and made the special honestly look...special. Personally, I believe they should do a "Beetleborgs Return" special for PR which echos why General Venjix and Co. looked like Beetleborgs and to provide resolution to what could be described as an "unfinished series".
