Crank up the Fox Kids theme and dust off your Beetle Bonders, this Checkpoint Extra is diving helmet-first into Big Bad Beetleborgs.

Join Nate as he breaks down how Saban went from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to chrome-plated bug armor, haunted mansions, and a ghost with a pompadour named Flabber. We’ll talk how Beetleborgs was born out of the Power Rangers boom, the difference between Super Sentai and Tokusatsu, why Hillhurst Mansion was basically a year-round Halloween special, and how a trio of comic-book kids accidentally unleashed some of the most chaotic villains in 90s TV.

We’ll hit:

Fox Kids, Saban, and the 90s Tokusatsu invasion

Magnavores, Crustaceans, and the Metallix glow-up

Toy-aisle warfare at Toys “R” Us (chrome, baby)

Why Beetleborgs still lives rent-free in our nostalgic little hearts

If you grew up on Power Rangers, VR Troopers, Fox Kids, and cereal-fueled Saturday mornings, this bug-armored fever dream is for you.
