Monsters from B-Fighter to go to Power Rangers

UPDATED 7/16/14
Okay, I promised it and here it is. The monsters taken from B-Fighter and B-Fighter Kabuto, otherwise known as Big Bad Beetleborgs. For some unknown reason, even though they had enough monsters from Super Sentai, Power Ranger producers decided to put the monsters on the show. I understand using them in the background (Especially for massive alien army scenes and Onyx Tavern) but it was weird they didn't use all the monsters from the respective Super Sentai series. So since Beetleborgs ended in 1998, they were free to use the costumes for Power Rangers, mostly from 1998-1999.




Bagma Virus of B-Fighter (Kombat Knat of "Big Bad Beetleborgs") appeared in the background of an episode.


Bububu (Porkasaurus) appeared on Power Rangers.


Namakeruge (Cataclaws) appeared as one the creatures that the Body Switcher changed into in Power Rangers in Space.


Death Launcher and Dangar of B-Fighter were merged and re-painted to make Brunt in Power Rangers Lost Galaxy.


Mojanga (Furocious) appeared on Countdown to Destruction against the Aquitar Rangers.


Maskuder (LottaMuggs) appeared as one the creatures that the Body Switcher changed into in Power Rangers in Space.


Ebiganya (Unctuous) appeared as one the creatures that the Body Switcher changed into in Power Rangers in Space.


Gagamoth's first form (Cataclazmic) appeared in "Countdown to Destruction."


Gagamoth's second form (Crimson Creep) appeared with Divatox's army.

Giga-Tsukinowa (Terror Bear) appeared in the background.


Figer (Fire Cat) appeared as one the creatures that the Body Switcher changed into in Power Rangers in Space.

The Bat-like Raija Bodyguard (Dreg) appeared near the Onyx Tavern.

The Steg-like Raija Bodyguard (Dreg) appeared in the Onyx Tavern.

The Spider-like Raija Bodyguard (Dreg) appeared in Lost Galaxy.

Violent Dragon Beast Dinozaura from B-Fighter Kabuto became Triplesaurus Rex in Beetleborgs Metalix and then found itself in PRiS finale "Countdown to Destruction."

Mole Beast Mogerado (Mole Monster) made a guest spot in Power Rangers in Space as Destrucoid in Power Rangers in Space. He appeared but wasn't destroyed and then disappeared.

Sea Scorpion Beast Kaizazora (El Scorpio) was re-fitted and re-used for Power Rangers SPD. Interesting how the costume found itself in New Zealand. It probably went from Japan to US and then to New Zealand.

Heat Fruit Beast Pineappler which didn't appear in Beetleborgs found itself in "Countdown to Destruction" fighting the Aquitar Rangers.

Water Dwelling Beast Kapparapa, didn't appear in Beetleborgs but it also found itself in "Countdown to Destruction."
