Zabitan's Magic Happy American Tokusatu Reviews

[Zabitan]

JB transforms, and summons the Skybase, and Grimstars appear but JB destroys them with missiles, while Kaitlin hears what's going on, and falls down the abandoned mine shaft.

Ryan is still being chased by Grimlord's minions, and runs to a bridge but Grimlord's minions corner him, and he jumps off into the river all the while there's brief clips of Shaider without armor.

JB tries to contact the other Troopers but can't, and Kaitlin is dangling from a support beam in the mine, and Jeb tries to save her but there's a spider on the rope, and Ryan hides from Grimlord's minions.

Jeb scares the spider off, and throws Kaitlin the rope, and tries to pull her out while the Professor explains what's going on to JB, and tells him to use the scanner to undo the effects of Fogbot's gas.

JB finds Ryan just as Grimlord's minions are pushing Ryan off a cliff so JB shoots lasers at Ryan that let him transform again so he summons the Combat Module while JB fires missiles.

Jeb rescues Kaitlin so she transforms, and summons the Battle Cruiser, and she, and Ryan destroy Grimlord's base.

Forgot attacks Ryan with a mace, and Despera takes the fight to the Fractal Zone so Ryan summons the Laser Saber.

Fogbot summons his own sword, and attacks Ryan with sparklers but Ryan turns his sword into a whip, and steals it, and destroys Fogbot.

At the Dark Fortress Grimlord shames his minions, and swears vengeance on the Troopers.

Back at the Underground Voice Daily Woody explains that they were able to get this week's paper done without her, and we get a comedy bit where Jeb pretends to be a ghost.

Ryan then sums up the moral of the day the end.

[Zabitan]

Final Thoughts.

Today's episode was good.

On one hand it seemed like a rehash of Watered Down but in a forest instead of a beach, gas instead of goop, and a Shaider monster instead of a Spielban one.

On the other I did like Fogbot since he was a cool monster with cool powers.

Especially since like Gameoid, and Ravagebot, he was one of the few Shaider monsters who focused on being scary.

I also got a kick out of the fact that they showed Shaider without his armor since it means that now unless there's a clip of Ryusei Tsurugi in VR Troopers I either forgot or missed we finally have all three Troopers appear in Japanese footage as their counterparts without armor.

My only problems are that the part where Kaitlin fell down the mine shaft felt like it could have been removed without hurting anything.

Especially since they cut out a lot of stuff from the Shaider episode they used.

Only 3 more episodes left.

Welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we're looking at Grimlord's Dummy written by Michael Ryan and directed by Al Winchel

So we start off with today's "My dad taught me" moment where Ryan thinks about the time his dad taught him that you should never underestimate something because of its size.

We then go to the Underground Voice Daily where a children's hospital benefit party is being hosted but Woody explains that the clown he hired's car broke down, and we get a comedy bit with Percy juggling eggs.

The Troopers then go to the park to look at street performers, and see a guy named Wendell with a dummy named Woodman, and decide he's perfect.

But two mimes who are secretly Ziktor's Skugs are spying on them, and teleport back to Ziktor industries.

At Ziktor industries the Skug mimes explain what's going on, and Ziktor has once again been reading the Power Rangers villain playbook because he gets an evil scheme.

Then he transforms into Grimlord, and explains that he wants to use a device to bring Woodman to life as a mutant, and have him steal the Troopers' virtualizers.

At the park Grimlord's Skugs run over Wendell disguised as skaters so that one of them can put the device on Woodman.

At the Underground Voice Daily the Troopers show Woody Wendell, and Woodman, and he likes them but then Woodman starts insulting everyone.

Wendell asks to speak with the Troopers privately, and it turns out Woodman is alive, and Wendell explains what's going on but only Kaitlin believes him.

At the Dark Fortress Despera explains what's going on to Grimlord.

At the Underground Voice Daily the Troopers look for Woodman, and realize that Wendell was telling the truth.

[Zabitan]

Woodman then proceeds to shoot green lasers everywhere, and when the Troopers, and Wendell confront him he grows human sized, and steals JB, and Kaitlin's virtualizers, and teleports away.

At the Dark Fortress Despera recommends sending another mutant named Puppetoid, and in a funny bit Grimlord disagrees only to suggest that, and he orders Woodman to destroy Tao dojo.

At the lab the Troopers, and the Professor explain what's going on, and JB sees Woodman destroying Tao dojo when the Professor explains that Grimlord's invading reality.

Ryan transforms, and fights off Ultra Skugs but Grimstars fire on him so he summons the Blue Hawk, and destroys them.

JB, and Kaitlin arrive at Tao dojo, and fight Woodman who fires lasers at them.

Ryan fights with Puppetoid who's a pale green mutant with tusks, a sword, and a shield, and Despera takes the fight to the Indigo Sector.

In the Indigo Sector the weird spaceship with the face that's finally given a name Gargantus, and some Grimstars fire on Ryan so he summons the Troopertron, and destroys them.

At Tao dojo JB, and Kaitlin are still fighting Woodman when they distract him so Kaitlin can pull out her makeup mirror, and use it to reflect Woodman's laser transforming him back to normal.

Despera then takes the fight to the Fractal Zone where Puppetoid breathes gas on Ryan then they go back to the Indigo Sector where Puppetoid teleports.

Ryan uses his scanner to find Puppetoid, and shoots him with his laser then destroys Puppetoid with Laser Saber.

At the Dark Fortress Grimlord swears vengeance on the Troopers.

Back at the Underground Voice Daily the benefit party is a success, and we get a comedy bit where Wendell catches Jeb talking, and Ryan tries to pass it off as his attempts at ventriloquism.

Ryan then sums up the moral of the day the end.

[Zabitan]

Final Thoughts.

Today's episode was not very good.

For starters the plot is essentially A Dirty Trick but with a ventriloquist instead of a magician, and the monster being a separate character.

What's odd too is that I liked Puppetoid because he was one of those Shaider monsters that focused on being weird, and creepy.

But Woodman's monster form on the other hand wasn't that good since it was just a regular guy with a giant Woodman head.

It especially bugged me since this was one of those episodes where JB, and Kaitlin don't transform, and the plot with Woodman stealing the virtualizers felt phoned in as an excuse not to use Spielban footage.

Like why not have Woodman teleport after coming to life, and just have Puppetoid be his mutant form, and have JB, and Kaitlin summon the Troopertron or replace the part with the Blue Hawk with the Skybase.

It also bugged me that they cut out some stuff from the Shaider episode they used that I would have kept.

Only 2 more episodes left.

Welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we're looking at Time Out written by Michael Ryan and directed by Al Winchel

So we start off with today's "My dad taught me" moment where Ryan thinks about the time his dad taught him how to slow down, and take it easy.

We then go to the Underground Voice Daily where everyone, and everything is frozen, and at Tao dojo the exact same thing happens.

Then we see some Spielban footage of Knighttime explaining that he's frozen Crossworld City in time, but plans to take it over himself instead of for Grimlord

At Ziktor industries one of his secretaries informs him about what's going on, and that it doesn't affect virtual beings.

Then he transforms into Grimlord, and Oraclon explains that Knighttime has used a device called an Omegacron to freeze time, and Grimlord orders his minions to destroy it.

At the lab the Professor explains what's going on, and that Knighttime's device is in a building across from the park so the Troopers go there, and see a guy stealing a woman's purse, and stop him.

At the Dark Fortress Grimlord summons Knighttime who now has an American actor, asks why Knighttime betrayed him, and to give him the device but Knighttime disagrees so he's taken to Grimlord's dungeon.

At the park the Troopers see a little girl about to be run over by a truck so they get her some place safe, and go back to looking for the time device.

At the Dark Fortress Ivar takes Knighttime to the scrap yard where Knighttime uses his powers to create his own mutant Conatron.

Grimlord finds out, and orders Fanbot a red, and blue fan themed mutant to destroy Knighttime, and Conatron, and Ivar helps him.

But Knighttime blocks, dodges, and uses intangibility so Oraclon takes the fight to the Fractal Zone.

But Knighttime, and Conatron are still defeating Fanbot, and Ivar until Fanbot uses his fan, and that by itself not only destroys Conatron but drains Knighttime of his powers.

[Zabitan]

At the warehouse the Troopers find Knighttime's device but two workers appear, and one turns out to be Doom Master while the other transforms into an army of Skugs.

Nothing much happens other than the Troopers punch, kick, and throw Skugs, and eventually knock.two into each other, and do the same to the other three destroying them.

Then the Professor explains what's going on so Ryan stays to deactivate the device, and transforms to use his laser but it doesn't work.

While JB, and Kaitlin also transform, and Kaitlin splits into two but Air Fighters, and Quantum Cruisers fire on them so JB takes the fight to virtual reality.

At the Dark Fortress Grimlord shames his minions, and they tell him that only he can stop Knighttime's device.

So he teleports to the warehouse, and just picks up Ryan, and throws him but can't deactivate Knighttime's device either.

The Air Fighters, and Quantum Cruisers are still firing on JB, and the Kaitlins so JB uses Techno Bazooka to destroy them.

Back at the warehouse Ryan convinces Grimlord that he can't rule over a frozen reality, and Grimlord reluctantly agrees.

Fanbot tries to suck up the two Kaitlins but JB kicks him but he hits JB, and the two Kaitlins sending them down a hill.

So they use lasers but it doesn't work, and Fanbot tries to suck them up again but JB uses Laser Lance to stop Fanbot's fan, and destroy him.

Ryan shoots lasers while Grimlord shoots lasers from his eyes, and hands, and together they destroy Knighttime's device returning everything to normal, and Grimlord teleports away.

Back at Tao dojo we get one last comedy bit where the Troopers think time is still frozen but it's just Tao meditating, and Jeb sleeping.

Ryan then sums up the moral of the day the end.

[Zabitan]

Final Thoughts

Today's episode was pretty good.

I lIked the whole story with Knighttime trying to take over reality for himself, and Ryan, and Grimlord having to work together to stop him.

I also thought Conatron, and Fanbot were both really cool monsters with cool powers.

I also liked that we finally got an American actor to play Knighttime in American footage.

Also I can't really think of anything that was cut from the Spielban episode they used.

Really I think my only problem, and even that was more of a nitpick since it's more the Spielban episode then the episode itself.

And that's the fact that despite being Knighttime's final appearance the Troopers, and Knighttime finally having an American actor the Troopers don't actually fight him or Conatron.

Only 1 more episode left.

Welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we're looking at Galileo's New Memory written by Chip Lynn and directed by Al Winchel

So we start off with today's "My dad taught me" moment where Ryan thinks about the time his dad taught him that friendship comes with the responsibility that you have to protect your friends.

We then go to a junkyard where Ryan, and JB are taking various old parts, and they explain that they're making a robot.

Then a Skug appears, and despite being right there next to them they don't see it spying on them.

At Ziktor industries Ziktor is watching what the Skug sees, and learns that they plan to store the lab's information in the robot.

Then he transforms into Grimlord, and orders his minions to steal the robot so he can learn it's secrets.

At the lab the Troopers are finishing up the robot which looks like either a poor man's R2D2 or Dalek, and it works, and the robot names itself Galileo.

Then they test out Galileo but it seems he still has bugs so Kaitlin suggests going to Poindexter's which they do, and after a comedy bit with an invention they explain everything, and he agrees.

At the Dark Fortress Despera explains what's going on, and Grimlord orders Doom Master to go to Poindexter's lab, and steal Galileo.

At Poindexter's lab Poindexter has finished fixing Galileo, and reveals that he put in an access code to use Galileo, and tracking device.

Then two scientists show up, and one of them transforms directly into an Ultra Skug, and summons reinforcements while the other transforms into Doom Master.

Nothing much happens other than the Troopers dodge, and flip Ultra Skugs, and Poindexter helps with a fire hose, and actually destroys two Ultra Skugs with it, and the Troopers throw the remaining Ultra Skugs into each other destroying them.

[Zabitan]

So Doom Master just goes fuck it, and uses his sword to shoot a laser that abducts Galileo, and teleports away but Poindexter reminds them of the tracking device in Galileo.

And at the lab they use the lab's computer to find Galileo.

At the Dark Fortress Grimlord demands Galileo give him the Troopers secrets but he refuses so Grimlord orders Oraclon to scan his memories.

But Galileo keeps running off causing a comedy bit but Oraclon eventually hits Galileo, and Grimlord accidentally guesses his password so Oraclon starts draining his memory.

After a brief scene at the lab where the Troopers find out Galileo is in the Dark Fortress Despera recommends sending a mutant, and Grimlord agrees.

At the lab JB, and Kaitlin decide to use the Skybase to rescue Galileo while the Professor explains that Grimlord sent a mutant so Ryan transforms to face it.

Ryan fights with Ultra Skugs, and clashes weapons with Forkoid a weird red, blue, and yellow mutant with a three pronged spear while JB, and Kaitlin transform, and summon the Skybase.

Despera then takes the fight between Ryan, and Forkoid to the Indigo Sector where Forkoid teleports around, and throws his spear so Ryan fires his laser while JB, and Kaitlin find the Dark Fortress.

At the Dark Fortress Oraclon has almost drained Galileo's memory, Grimlord, and his minions leave, and JB, and Kaitlin show up.

Ryan breaks Forkoid's spear, and uses it, and his own Laser Saber to destroy Forkoid.

While JB gives Galileo an impossible task to shut down Oraclon which causes him to explode, and JB, Kaitlin, and Galileo teleport away.

Grimlord returns sees what happened, and swears vengeance on the Troopers.

Back at the lab the Troopers have finished giving Galileo all the lab's information, and all his bugs are fixed, and we have one last comedy bit with Jeb, and Galileo.

Ryan then sums up the moral of the day the end.
