==BeetleBorgs==

In 1996, ''Big Bad BeetleBorgs'' began airing on Fox Kids.  In a stark contract from ''VR Troopers'', ''BeetleBorgs'' was a more kid-friendly show.  Instead of having characters in their 20s, the show focused on pre-teens, around the ages of 10-14.  This would be something that would transfer over to Power Rangers in the form of Justin Stewart, the 12 year old Blue Turbo Ranger the following year.  One of the more infamous characters on the show was named Flabber, who gained his infamy due to the character's resemblance to Jay Leno.  The show would also use footage from another Metal Hero series during one episode of the first season.  The characters of Karato and Silver Ray were taken from the series ''Tokusou Robo Janperson'', which had a team-up with the B-Fighters.  ''BeetleBorgs'' and it's second season, ''BeetleBorgs Metallix'', used footage from the 1995 and 1996 series, ''Juukou B-Fighter'' and ''B-Fighter Kabuto'', respectively.  Much like ''VR Troopers'' before, ''BeetleBorgs'' was cancelled due to lack of Japanese footage.  Although the Metal Hero series did continue after ''B-Fighter Kabuto'', it's successor ''B-Robo Kabutack'' (1997) and ''Tetsuwan Tantei Robotack'' (1998) were aimed at a younger audience, with the shows being more kiddie in nature.  As far as in the west, Saban would make one more sister show to Power Rangers in the Fall of 1998, called ''Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog''.  The show garnered a fairly positive reaction.  It is the only tokusatsu series produced by Saban to not use any Japanese footage.  However, it was cancelled after only once season.
