Watch VR Troopers Free Series Online on GOKU

There were three seasons of VR Troopers produced by Saban Entertainment between 1994 and 1996. The show aimed to capitalize on the early 1990s infatuation with virtual reality and the success of Power Rangers. The show included early CGI and video effects blended with Japanese stock material from three separate Metal Hero series: Superhuman Machine Metalder, Dimensional Warrior Spielban, and Space Sheriff Shaider. This tokusatsu adaptation was one of the first to adopt an adaptation approach like this, which combines numerous shows into a single one, and it was initially used in anime series like Robotech and Voltron. The copyright for VR Troopers was transferred to SCG Power Rangers on May7, 2010. Saban's VR Troopers was the first "sister show" to the most popular "action fighting kid show" at the time, Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. In a similar vein, Toei Company LTD. adapted a Japanese tokusatsu children's show for the US market.. The series was deemed popular, though not as successful as the Power Ranger franchise. Unfortunately for the series, the Japanese footage was quickly exhausted due to extreme circumstances where many tokusatsu scenarios were combined in one episode to the extent that stock video had to be reused several times throughout the series. A similar situation occurred with another Saban cartoon called Big Bad Beetleborgs, which was a hit but ended quickly owing to a lack of footage. Both of these shows are based on the original Metal Heroes manga and anime from Japan. Because of the series' success, toy and video game manufacturers followed suit.
