Using the Sentai Footage would probably mean Saban Brands would have to do this. Since I don't think Saban would want Disney or another company using Super Sentai. Unless Disney worked something out , since they do currently own VR Troopers.

Well as we know Disney doesn't own the series anymore so that wouldn't be a problem but anyway... it'd be an interesting concept but I'd rather Sentai be for Power Rangers and Metal Heroes be for VR Troopers or Beetleborgs... plus there aren't a whole lot of options that you could really pick from Sentai that would even match what the Trooper look should be.

Unless they mostly used Battle Grid Mode in which case I would pick either Bioman, and/or Flashman since they look the most like Battle Grid VR Troopers at least the female suits look the most like Kaitlin's.

Very true with Rescue Hero and Blue Swat. I think Bioman COULD pass for Battle Grid suits but it'd be a hard sell. I don't agree with Flashman though.

I believe there was a reason.

So maybe if those things did better they would have used some other Metal Hero shows.

I don't believe the ratings had anything to do with it. Couldn't tell you in regards to the merchandise sales though.

That's what I had heard but how truthful it is... I don't know.

I agree.

Yup. The footage that would've been used for season 3 was instead used for Big Bad Beetleborgs.

No female warrior wouldn't be an issue since they could've just done what they did with Power Rangers with Trini, Aisha, Maya, Kelsey and Taylor.

Yup, that's what I had heard in regards to Season 3 of VR Troopers, that they would've been using B-Fighter footage for it which of course was adapted here as Beetleborgs instead.

I disagree. Yes, that's true that they have 3 members but Sun Vulcan doesn't look like a Trooper design.
