From Cybertron to the Battle Grid: The Frankenstein Job That Was VR Troopers

Overview

VR Troopers (Virtual Reality Troopers) is a syndicated live action superhero-adventure television series produced and distributed by Saban Entertainment from 1994 to 1996. The show tried to profit from the fascination with virtual reality in the mid-1990s as well as the success of Saban's other property, Power Rangers. Much like with Power Rangers VR Troopers was stitched together with Japanese stock footage from 3 different Metal Hero Series: Superhuman Machine Metalder, Dimensional Warrior Spielban, Space Sheriff Shaider.
