Blue SWAT B-Fighter Kabuto

Juukou B-Fighter (重甲ビーファイター, Jūkō Bī Faitā), is a 1995 Japanese tokusatsu television series. B-Fighter is short for "Beetle Fighter". It was part of Toei's Metal Hero Series franchise. It dealt with three members of the prestigious Earth Academia (アースアカデミア, Āsu Akademia) fighting against the evil forces of the otherworldly Jamahl Empire. The action footage and props were reused for the U.S. adaptation of Big Bad Beetleborgs and it was followed by spin-off series; B-Fighter Kabuto.

Storyline

Insects all over the world begin to swarm for unknown reasons, with other animals and plants acting strangely as well. To investigate this, Takuya Kai is dispatched with an Earth Academia group. Investigating independently, Takuya encounters the insect elder Guru, who reveals that insects are preparing for battle against invaders from another dimension called the Jamahl. Offering their aid, the Earth Academia create suits of armor to combat the threat as the Jamahl arrive to Earth to enslave humans. Though they have trouble perfecting the Bio-Machinery, Guru arrives to infuse the armor with the life force of many insects. Once the suits become the B-Commanders, one suit chooses Takuya while the other two bond to Daisaku Katagiri and Rei Hayama. With their newfound power, the B-Fighters fight to drive back Jamahl's forces.

Characters

B-Fighters

The members use Bio-armor developed by the Earth Academia's brightest and infused with the life force of insects.

• Takuya Kai / Blue Beet (甲斐(かい) 拓也(たくや)／ブルービート, Kai Takuya/Burū Bīto) is a 23-year-old entomologist at the Earth Academia Japan Branch and is the team leader. He is very tender-hearted. His sense of responsibility is very strong. The first to meet Guru in the South American rainforest, he was also the first to gain a B-Commander and use his suit. As Blue Beet, his armor was modeled after a male Japanese rhinoceros beetle. His blood was used in the creation of his "evil twin", Shadow. After learning the true colors of the shadow, he feels responsible and goes missing. In the second half of the series, Blue Beet gained the ability to evolve into Super Blue Beet (スーパーブルービート, Sūpā Burū Bīto) by the command "Metal-Phose!" (重甲超進化（メタルフォーゼ）, Metarufōze).

• Daisaku Katagiri / G-Stag (片霧(かたぎり) 大作(だいさく)／ジースタッグ, Katagiri Daisaku/Jī Sutaggu) at 23, is an impetuous but nature-loving man. A tree doctor, Daisaku claims to be able to hear trees and plants when they are dying. He was captured along with Rei by the Jamahl during the start of the invasion of Earth. Upon receiving his B-Commander, Daisaku made quick work of Jamar soldiers. He was aquaphobic until he overcame his fear to save his father Daitetsu Katagiri, a fisherman, from a trap laid by the Ebikaania. As the most physically powerful of the B-Fighters, G-Stag's armor is modeled after a stag beetle. G-Stag is strong enough to lift the Jamar soldiers and toss them around like rag dolls.

• Rei Hayama / Reddle (羽山(はやま) 麗(れい)／レッドル, Hayama Rei/Reddoru) is a 22-year-old animal instructor at Earth Academia's Aquarium. Captured along with Daisaku at first and receiving her B-Commander at the same time, she demolished the Jamar soldiers before joining forces with Takuya and Daisaku. She eventually left for the South American branch of Earth Academia to do research and help with protecting the wildlife there.

• Mai Takatori / Reddle II (鷹取(たかとり) 舞(まい)／レッドル, Takatori Mai/Reddoru) is Rei's successor, a young and cheerful 19-year-old student who was "chosen" by Rei's B-Commander as the next Reddle.

• Mercenary Gorgodal (傭兵戦士ゴルゴダル, Gorugodaru, 23) is an armored warrior one of Jera's mercenaries who fights the B-Fighters for the money. When Mai scolds him for following Jera and ultimately Jamahl for money, Gorgodal quits and tries to return the money he has been paid. But Gaohm didn't accept this and brainwashes Gorgodal so that he is nothing but a raging monster. Mai tries to talk to him again, but he can barely remember her name. Reddle eventually destroys Gorgodal by using her Saber Magnum. He is given a burial and his grave is marked with his own shuriken.

The control device is in his bike's fairing, and when that was destroyed, Night Biker changed back into back to normal Kazuma.
• Babanba (ババンバ, 32) appears first as an old woman in a brown kimono with a brown cloth over her head and a wooden cask on her back. She can suck people inside the cask, which she uses to turn them into pickles for sale to creatures in other dimensions. She later revealed her true form, a demonic creature that can sprout and attack with claws and fangs. Babamba is not truly evil, and although Jera tries to trick her into fighting the B-Fighters, an old man who had befriended her convinces her that she doesn't need to fight anymore. She decides to stay in this dimension with him and shatters her cask freeing the people inside.
• Nero (ネロ, 37) is a so-called bodyguard from another dimension who wears cowboy-like attire. He appears during a fight and offers Jera his services, but in the fight he misses the B-Fighters and escapes back to Jamahl for his pay. Later, he approaches the B-Fighters and claimed that he was just trying to infiltrate Jamahl to take out Gaohm, and if they pay him he would do just that. Mai believes him and scrounges up enough to pay him. Nero is planning to take money from both sides and leave this dimension, when Mai discovers that he has Jamahl money. Jera also appears, having discovered his secret, impales Nero. Meanwhile, Mai had scanned Nero's gun, learning that it was designed to miss. Nero hates war, and never means to kill anyone.

• Sinbad (シンバッド, Shinbaddo, 30) is a contestant in Jamahl's "Ghost Zone" battle, for which they kidnapped the B-Fighters and sent them to another dimension where they forced them to participate in combat. Daisaku soon learned that Sinbad was infiltrating Jamahl in an attempt to assassinate Gaohm for destroying his homeworld. Gaohm learned of this, however, and sent a resurrected Death Mult to kill Sinbad and the B-Fighters. Realizing that the only way for the B-Fighters to return home was by the explosion caused by Death Mult's demise, Sinbad kamikazed Death Mult and killed them both. Before the B-Fighters became free and left the dimension, Sinbad asked them to defeat Gaohm and the Jamahl.
• Extradimensional Supplier Kabuto (異次元調達屋カブト, Ijigen Chōtatsuya Kabuto, 35, 36, 52 & 53) is Guru's son who left his father a hundred years ago and has been traveling across the dimensions as a supplier of weapons and equipment. He returns to Earth to visit his mother's grave, bringing the Beet Ingram with him. Very childish and naive, Kabuto often tries to be a hero, only to put himself in danger. He returns at the end of the series to assist the other Metal Heroes in defeating Jagul.
• Saint Papilia (セントパピリア, Sento Papiria, 44-51) is a legendary "butterfly of life" who can grant immortality. She appears when the life on a world has been destroyed. She then revives the world by giving it new life. Saint Papilia already appeared once on Earth, after the Ice Age, and revived the Earth so the life of today could be born and grow. Saint Papilia has also revived Muscle during the course of her existence. Both Gaohm and Black Beet sought Saint Papilia in the hopes of obtaining her gift of eternal life.

He was once healed by her power, and has followed clues about her to Earth. Already weakened upon his arrival on Earth, Muscle confronts both the B-Fighters and the Jamahl forces, only to be killed by Black Beet. Black Beet then gains possession of Papilia's feather. He is more of a guest character than a malevolent alien.

Jamahl

The Jamahl (ジャマール, Jamāru) are beings from another dimension. Their base of operation, was the Jamahl Fortress (ジャマール要塞, Jamāru Yōsai), a claw-like dreadnaught. It had an opening where the palm would be, where the Jamar fighter jets emerged from and where Jamahl's new super-weapons were located.

• Jamahl Leader Gaohm (ジャマール首領ガオーム, Jamāru Shuryō Gaōmu, 1-50) is the mysterious leader of the Jamahl, who first appeared as a tall figure with a white and purple robe and chitinous face. Gaohm possesses the power to teleport people to the Gaohm Zone (ガオームゾーン, Gaōmu Zōn). Arriving to Earth, Gaohm planned to make the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building his base until the B-Fighters intervened. He was supposedly killed by the B-Fighters later on, only to reappear as a gigantic torso floating in space with an exposed purple heart, a single one arm (the right one) and wires running all through and over/on his body. However, both forms were dummies used by the real Gaohm, a small embryonic entity in a tank full of liquid. Gaohm reveals that he was born from a space warp and wandered through space until he gained enough power to assemble the Jamahl for his lifelong goal of capturing Saint Papilia so he can obtain immortality. To that end, he plans to destroy all life on Earth, using the Jamahl Hole (ジャマールホール, Jamāru Hōru), by sucking up the world's atmosphere so everyone dies, luring Saint Papilia to revive Earth. Gaohm plans to capture her and force her to give Gaohm immortality. After he creates the Jamahl Hole, he is killed when his fortress crashes on Earth. Gaohm was later revived/absorbed by Jagul in the series finale.

Outside of battle, she wears a red robe that hampers her full strength. She uses an electromagnetic whip that she could charge with energy, as a weapon. Jera developed a grudge against the B-Fighter since the death of her beloved friend Barla, with Gaohm forcing her not to be consumed by her petty need to avenge her comrade. She assumes human form named Gira (ジーラ, Jīra). She turns against Gaohm upon learning of Gigaro's death by his hand, allying herself only with Shadow/Black Beet, who had saved her from Schwartz's insane rage upon losing his body. After seeing Gaohm kill Hidra, Jera rebels against her former leader. Seeing Gaohm in his true form, Jera is mortally wounded and cast back down to Earth. After being found by the B-Fighters, her mask disappears, revealing her as a blonde, Caucasian woman. Before dying, she reveals how the B-Fighters could infiltrate Gaohm's ship.
• Combat-Mecha Army Commander Schwartz (戦闘メカ軍団々長シュヴァルツ, Sentō Meka Gundan Danchō Shuvarutsu, 1-48): Actually a computer virus given a mechanical body, he is a maniacal android who can shoot electricity from his hands. He makes himself a special umbrella that allows him to fly, and can be used as a weapon. It was later destroyed by the B-Fighters newly acquired Pulsabers. When Jera left Jamahl and Gigaro dies, Schwartz takes on the B-Fighters on his own, adopting a new tank-like form called Schwartz Tank (シュヴァルツタンク, Shubarutsu Tanku, 47). His body was destroyed in the process by Stagger Tank and Red Gyro's Attack Formation, though his head survived. However, the damage left Schwartz critically insane. Schwartz even tried to kill Jera, but she was saved by Black Beet. He took control of various objects on Earth (one of them being a Giant Stone Statue which was destroyed by the Mega Beet Formation) before his "immortal head" was blasted into outer space to orbit Earth.
• Synthetic Beast Army Commander Gigaro (合成獣軍団々長ギガロ, Gōseijū Gundan Danchō Gigaro, 1-46): A humanoid Chimera composed of various animal parts like a blue whale-shaped flattop, clam shell-like shoulders, and a frog-like left leg. Gigaro was originally a skeletal creature on a desert planet in the Garo dimension, hunted for unknown reasons by humanoids. Exhausted and near death, Gaohm gives him a new powerful body made from an assortment of animalistic parts and recruits him into Jamahl. Gigaro uses a white bone-like sword and his flattop could open to reveal a gun. Gigaro imbued himself with life energy meant for the Jamahl to power-up into Final Gigaro (ファイナルギガロ, Fainaru Gigaro, 46 & 47), a red and white version of himself with a crab-like left arm, clam-like features, and more power. Defeated by Super Blue Beet, he was ultimately killed by Gaohm who wanted Gigaro's life energy to hasten the completion of the Jamahl Hole. Gigaro was originally supposed to be revived/absorbed by Jagul, but Mai and Kabuto's interference left Gigaro to remain dead and Jagul with a weak point on her new body.
• Sorceress Jagul (魔道士ジャグール, Madōshi Jagūru, 19, 20, 52 & 53): A mysterious woman in insectoid armor that Gaohm commissioned to create an evil B-Fighter. Jagul sent a long-horned beetle to bite Takuya and take a DNA sample from him. From the beetle and Takuya's cells, Jagul created Shadow/Black Beet. She is seemingly killed by Black Beet, but resurfaces long after Jamahl was destroyed and starts kidnapping young women including Mai and Sara and resurrecting defeated monsters to battle the heroes including Synthetic Beast Gagamoth's first form and Mercenary Warrior Iluba from B-Fighter as well as Queen (Blue SWAT's enemy), Bill Goldy (Janperson's enemy), and assorted aliens that Blue SWAT had fought in their series. Jagul soon transforms into a composite-entity with eight arms, the faces of Gaohm's second form, Black Beet, and the various resurrected creatures (consisting of Synthetic Beast Bagma Virus, Mercenary Death Mult's first form, Combat Mecha-Army Death Launcher, Combat Mecha-Army Ikari-Bomber 2, Macho Number 5, Mercenary Shinigamian, Mojana, Synthetic Beast Maskuder, Hellsgyra, Jisp, Reiko Ayanokouji's Super Beast God form, and some of the aliens fought by Blue SWAT such as Zazanga and a second Bona) on her after reviving/absorbing them. She even betrays and absorbs Queen and Bill Goldy once they outlive their usefulness and their faces appeared on her. She trapped the B-Fighters, Janperson, Gun Gibson, and the Blue SWAT team in a pocket dimension, but Blue Beet escapes and hits Jagul's weak point (where Gigaro's face was supposed to go when he was revived to be absorbed by Jagul) to release the others. She was mortally wounded by the ultimate attacks of Super Blue Beet, Hyper Shou, and Janperson's Flash Cannon which regressed her to her previous form. Afterwards, she is dragged into death by Bill Goldy.
• Shadow/Black Beet (シャドー／ブラックビート, Shadō/Burakku Bīto, 19-51): An evil clone of Takuya made by Jagul. Shadow is highly powerful, and by raising his Black Commander (ブラックコマンダー, Burakku Komandā) and shouting "Jakou!" (邪甲!, Jakō!, Evil Shell!), became a formidable opponent to the other B-Fighters as Black Beet, whose armor was modeled after a Longhorn beetle. To prove his own existence, he tries to kill Takuya. Because he was a short‐lived clone, Shadow couldn't survive on his own and sought Saint Papilia's power to obtain immortality for himself. His weapons are a black Input Magnum known as the Jamming Magnum, and an extending hand-claw known as the Stinger Byoot. He falls because his longevity was lost though he stabs Blue Beet with his weapon. Black Beet was later revived/absorbed by Jagul in the series finale.
• Trooper Jamars (兵士ジャマー, Heishi Jamā, 1-49): Faceless foot soldiers that serve Gaohm in menial tasks.

• Mercenary Death Mult (傭兵デスマルト, Yōhei Desumaruto, 17) is an armored mercenary in a bird-shaped helmet that was originally one of Jera's soldiers. He is easily defeated by Blue Beet and Reddle. After this, Jera retrieves his body and decides to bring him back to life and make him a combination of all three monster army types, now dubbed Phantom Death Mult (合体怪人デスマルト, [17 & 30] Error: {{nihongo}}: transliteration text not Latin script (pos 7) (help)). Though he still resembles himself, his armor is now red and sports a different helmet. Gigaro provides a scorpion's tail, bird-like feet, and dragon-like wings while Schwartz added built-in shoulder cannons with one shoulder cannon being in the shape of a lobster claw and another shoulder cannon being in the shape of a dragon head as well as smoke stack-like protrusions on his biceps. Phantom Death Mult proved able to defeat the B-Fighters until the three generals started arguing about which weapon he should use. Phantom Death Mult was stalled by the conflicting orders long enough for the B-Fighters to defeat him. He was later resurrected by Gaohm to exterminate the B-Fighters and Sinbad. This time Sinbad destroys him. Phantom Death Mult was later revived and absorbed by Jagul in the series finale where the face of his first form appeared on Destruction Goddess Jagul's body.
• Mercenary Shinigamian (傭兵シニガミアン, Yōhei Shinigamian, 28) is a Grim Reaper-like being with skull-shaped formations on his back. He has the power to summon and control the spirits of the dead. The spirits can resist his control if they have things to accomplish on Earth. One of the ghosts raised was a young girl named Yuri who wants to fall in love before she died and thus resisted crossing over. She falls in love with Takuya and helps him fight Shinigamian by helping the other ghosts realize they are just being used. Once Shinigamian was dead, the ghosts are free to return to the afterlife. Yuri follows this time, having fallen in love with Takuya and thus finishing her business. He was later revived and absorbed by Jagul in the series finale.
• Mercenary Hidra (傭兵ヒドラ, Yōhei Hidora, 49) is nicknamed the Spider of Flame due to her spider-themed armor. In battle, Hidra could blast fire and smoke from her mouth as well as send out web threads to wrap/bind her enemies. She was assigned the job of capturing Guru so Gaohm could use him to gather the energy of the insects on the planet to complete the Jamahl Hole. Gaohm, secretly promises Hidra that she could take Jera's place, if she succeeded, which she did. Gaohm gives her an armband as proof of her new rank. However, the armband is actually a bomb. Despite Jera's learning of this and warning Hidra, Hidra explodes and dies but not before telling the B-Fighters to kill Gaohm for her.

Synthetic Beast Army

Led by Gigaro, the Synthetic Beast Army (合成獣軍団, Gōseijū Gundan) is composed of humanoid Chimeras created from Gigaro's blood.

• Synthetic Beast Heavyznake (合成獣ヘビーズネーク, Gōseijū Hebīzunēku, 2): A reptilian humanoid snake monster with a long snake draped over the head area that serves as his arms, he is the first of the Synthetic Beasts to be summoned when Gaohm had the remaining humans that Saberiza abducted converted into his slaves via the Jamahl Melody. Using the brain-washed humans, Heavyznake puts the B-Fighters at a disadvantage until they sneak into their base and destroy the source of the Jamahl Melody. With the plan a failure, the Heavyznake battles the B-Fighters before the barrier is destroyed. Taking the fight to the Gaohm Zone, Heavyznake's snake is blasted off to reveal his true snake-like head and true arms while using the dimension to his advantage. Weakened by the B-Weapons, Heavysnake is destroyed by Blue Beet's Beetle Break.
• Synthetic Beast Bagma Virus (合成獣バグマビルス, Gōseijū Bagumabirusu, 5 & 30): A gnat-like monster created by Gigaro, able to shrink himself to microscopic size and infiltrate any one's body to take control. He is sent by Gigaro to infect the B-Fighters' Insect Armor, asexually reproducing himself to enter G-Stag and Reddle. Using the two B-Fighters, Bagma planned to use them to attack a plasma plant and cause a meltdown. Realizing Bagma cannot thrive in freezing temperatures, Blue Beet uses this to force the monster out of his frozen allies before thawing them out. However, an offshoot of Bagma possesses Hikari and uses her to install a bomb. But when Bagma Virus is destroyed by Beetle Break, his extension in Hikari was destroyed as Mukai disarms the bomb in time. Bagma Virus is later revived and killed by Sinbad. He was revived a second time and absorbed by Jagul in the series finale.
• Synthetic Beast Garinezu (合成獣ガリネーズ, Gōseijū Garinēzu, 9 & 30): A hunchbacked gray-furred four-eyed rat monster that Gigaro created who is able to roll up into a ball. He is sent to gnaw through underground power cables and cause mass panic. However, Garinezu has Ailurophobia so severe that he runs from a fight at the sight of a cat. To solve the issue, Gigaro forces Garinezu to run a hundred times through a maze with Jamar soldiers holding kidnapped cats at every corner. Cured of his phobia, Garinezu resumes his mission before the B-Fighters find him. Taking the fight to the Gaohm Zone, Garinezu is destroyed by Beetle Break. Later revived, but dies in a suicide attempt to kill Blue Beet.
• Hellsgyra (ヘルズガイラ, Heruzugaira, Movie) is an unspecified monster whose body is covered in bony plates. He can control the bones strewn around his island, extending them and using them to capture the B-Fighters. Hellsgyra is beaten by the combined powers and strength of Drago and Blue Beet. He was revived and absorbed by Jagul in the series finale.
• Synthetic Beast Namakeruge (合成獣ナマケルゲ, Gōseijū Namakeruge, 12 & 30): A horned sloth monster who is extremely lazy much to Gigaro's dismay. Gigaro attempted to kill his creation until he was convinced by Gaohm to have the Synthetic Beast pose as a bus driver and use his tongue to suck the energy out of people to become active while they became lazy. Though he takes the energy of the male B-Fighters, the Insects restore their drive as they come to Reddle's aid. Unable to take the infinite energy now powering them, Namakeruge is destroyed by Beetle Break. Later revived, he dies in a suicide attempt to kill Blue Beet.
• Synthetic Beast Bububu (合成獣ブーブーブー, Gōseijū Būbūbū, 15 & 30) is a pig monster with big ears and broken tusks who can breathe a white gas that steals human voices, reducing them to grunts and squeals. He can breathe fire and blast lasers from his tusks. Reddle finishes him off with the Stinger Plasmar. Later revived, he dies in a suicide attempt to kill Blue Beet.
• Synthetic Beast Kamazakiller (合成獣カマザキラー, Gōseijū Kamazakirā, 21 & 30) is a mantis monster whose mission is to spread her eggs throughout the city, injecting them into people using her long, spiked tongue. The eggs would then grow inside their hosts. Kamazakiller is killed by Blue Beet's new weapon, the Stinger Drill, using the Strike Blast. She is later revived only to be killed by G-Stag with help from Sinbad.
• Synthetic Beast Ebiganya (合成獣エビガーニャ, Gōseijū Ebigānya, 26) is a red-shelled crab/shrimp combination monster with four arms who emits a liquid that turns ordinary water into poison. He could deflect shots from his shelled armor as well as blast water as strong pulses. After Daisaku's father tries to stop him from polluting the water, Ebigaanya sets him adrift with a bomb in his boat. Daisaku overcomes his fear of the water and saves his father, and returns to battle Shrimpcrabya. He is killed by a hot water blast from the Input Magnums, which cook him and incapacitate him. G-Stag finishes him with the Raging Slash.
• Synthetic Beast Maskuder (合成獣マスクーダー, Gōseijū Masukūdā, 31) is an amoeba monster who wears a gold mask with rows of faces surround it while nested on each other, extending in a star-like pattern. Maskuder disguises himself as a plastic surgeon able to make anyone beautiful with his special masks. The masks give his customers the face of the famous model Mizuzu Shiratori, who happens to be a childhood friend of Mai's. These masks, however, are explosive control devices that let Maskuder control the wearers and detonate them when he breaks his own mask, which is his central gold face. Under the gold mask is a single eye. Maskuder can also cause explosions on command. He was later revived and absorbed by Jagul in the series finale.
• The Moja (モジャ, Moja, 34) is an other-dimensional creature. Gigaro gave several Mojas to several children in the guise of a salesman. He told the children that if the creatures acted up, to hit them with a special stick. The stick actually causes the Moja to become fierce creatures that absorb the consciousness of the one who hits them. The creatures eventually gather and transform into the moth-headed monster Mojanga (モジャンガ). Mojanga can breathe fire. The children's consciousness is trapped inside Mojanga. Though the children try to urge the B-Fighters to fight, Mojanga can reverse what the consciousnesses trapped inside him said. Eventually, Daisaku went inside Mojanga's body and freed the children. He was later revived and absorbed by Jagul in the series finale.
• Synthetic Beast Gagamoth (合成獣ガガモス, Gōseijū Gagamosu, 36, 52 & 53) is at first an energy-sucking caterpillar monster, but it metamorphoses into a red moth monster when it absorbs the Beet Ingram's power. In this form, its right and left arms end transform into duplicates of the Input Magnum and Stinger Blade respectively. It was the first to be destroyed by the newly born Super Blue Beet. Gagamoth could also flap its wings and release destructive pollen. Gagamoth's caterpillar form is later revived by Jagul to fight the B-Fighters, Blue SWAT, Janperson, and Gun Gibson.
• Synthetic Beast Rasbelga (合成獣ラズベルガ, Gōseijū Razuberuga, 38) is a monster created from the fictional "Rasbel" flower, a carnivorous plant that can move on its own and feeds on small animals. Although almost invincible, Rasbelga's only weakness is the fruit of a tree discovered by Sayuri, an old girlfriend of Mukai's, which makes him spit out the people he swallows & disables his pollen spray so he can be defeated. Aside from spraying destructive pollen, it can launch vines from its mouth and strangle enemies. Mukai tries to stop Rasbelga, by wearing bulky armor, calling himself "Mukaider K-3", though the armor gradually falls apart as he fights. Despite this, Mukai's actions enable Blue Beet to help G-Stag and Reddle, who are stuck within Rasbelga's stomach, to break free and finish the monster with Blue Beet's Stinger Drill.
• Figer (火炎獣ファイガ, Kaen-jū Faiga, 39) is a legendary fire-breathing cat monster that is fossilized and unable to move. Gigaro has Schwartz use a youth-restoring machine to bring back Figer, but Schwartz sets it too high and the edition of Faigar that appears is a child who breathes fire towards anyone around him including Gigaro. While trying to stop it, Blue Beet tackles Figer and is hit by the residual youth energy that is in it, turning Takuya into a child. Gigaro and Schwartz eventually recapture Figer with candy so they can place him back into the machine to age him to a more dangerous age. They overdo it and the Figer that emerges is blackened and burnt. Blue Beet uses this chance to restore his own age, then destroys Figer with the Super Final Blow.
• Synthetic Beast Giga-Tsukinowa (合成獣ギガツキノワ, Gōseijū Giga Tsukinowa, 42) is the spirit of an Asian black bear who is hunted and killed in the mountains by humans. Feeling a bond, Gigaro rekindles Giga-Tsukinowa's hatred of humans and revives the bear as a bloodthirsty monster whom Gigaro used for his "B-Fighter Hunt". Giga-Tsukinowa captures a young friend of Mai, though it appears to show compassion upon seeing a teddy bear that the young girl has with her. Eventually defeated by the B-Fighters.

Combat-Mecha Army

Led by Schwartz, the Combat-Mecha Army (戦闘メカ軍団, Sentō Meka Gundan) is composed of combat robots.

• Combat-Mecha Army Hammer Kong (戦闘メカ軍団ハンマコング, Sentō Meka Gundan Hanma Kongu, 3 & 30): A silver and gold robot with giant hammers on his hands and a head in the shape of a hammer head with the striking surface being his face that has one eye. He can pound his hands on the ground to create Hammer Crush shock waves, or toss them in his Hammer Boomerang attack while firing a "Kong Beam" from his single eye & spit giant nails to pin his enemies to a wall. He is uses in Schwartz's scheme to force the B-Fighters into submission by holding children hostage. After saving the children, the B-Fighter battle Hammer Kong in the Gahom Zone before they take out the Combat-Robot's visual sensors and destroys him with a Beetle Break/Tornado Spark combo. Hammer Kong is later rebuilt and dies in a suicide attempt on Reddle.
• Combat-Mecha Army Death Launcher (戦闘メカ軍団デスランチャー, Sentō Meka Gundan Desu Ranchā, 4 & 30): A green robot with missile launchers on his shoulders and gun batteries on his wrists, used by Schwartz as an enforcer in a scheme to use the Jamahl Wave machine to turn all machines against humans, including the B-Machines. Luckily for the B-Fighters, their B-Commanders cannot be controlled as they don their Insect Armor to fight Death Launcher. After Blue Beet destroys the Jamahl Wave machine, he uses his Beetle Break to destroy Death Launcher. Later rebuilt in episode 30, only to be destroyed again by Iluba. He was later revived and absorbed by Jagul in the series finale.
• Combat-Mecha Gamerio (戦闘メカガメリオ, Sentō Meka Gamerio, 7 & 30): A camera-based robot with flashbulb eyes, Gamerio disguises himself as a photographer and goes around taking pictures of people with an instant camera. Those who got their pictures taken, are eventually spirited off into another dimension to work at a Jamahl slave quarry. Among his targets is Rei, unaware that she was a B-Fighter. However, Rei learns that Gamerio's transport system can be disrupted by high-frequency sound waves and uses a dog whistle to disrupt the Combat Robot's systems and teleport the children back to Earth. Taking the fight to the Gaohm Zone, Gamerio converts into full-on battle mode before being destroyed by Beetle Break. He was later rebuilt, but Reddle destroys him.
• Combat-Mecha Ikari-Bomber (戦闘メカイカリボンバ, Sentō Meka Ikaribonba, 11): A prideful and arrogant hand grenade-based robot with a short-fused temper who detonates whenever someone makes him mad, causing an explosion of tremendous power before reforming himself. Sent to Aoyama City, Ikari-Bomber holds the city hostage and force them into slavery in the renamed Jamahl City. After learning the best way to defeat Ikari-Bomber is to take out the detonation/reconstruction chip in his head module, the B-Fighters set up a scheme to take out the chip with the experimental EIG ray gun while Daisaku distracts Ikari Bomber. Once the plan succeeds, the B-Fighters use the Red Gyro to carry Ikari-Bomber away from the city so he can be safely blown up by the Beetluder and Stagger Tank's guns. He is eventually rebuilt as Combat-Mecha Ikari-Bomber 2 (戦闘メカイカリボンバ2, Sentō Meka Ikaribonba Tsū, 27), with a new orange-colored body and slightly different head. However, during a battle at a junkyard, Ikari-Bomber 2 accidentally incorporated a hair clipper into his body, grafting onto his left hand. Overcome by the hair clipper's desire to cut hair and to grudge on those who had discarded it when it was still usable, Ikari-Bomber 2 goes on a head-shaving spree until the B-Fighters destroyed his component pieces one by one. Ikari-Bomber 2 was rebuilt in Episode 30, but was destroyed off-screen. He was revived yet again as Ikari-Bomber 2 and absorbed by Jagul in the series finale.
• Combat-Mecha Gagamirror (戦闘メカガガミラー, Sentō Meka Gagamirā, 13) is a white robot with a dome-like head and a rounded chest that can open up into a large mirror, and anyone whose reflection he captures in the mirror could be trapped inside, allowing Gagamirror to assume their shape. He sucks Takuya into his mirror and disguised as Takuya, he infiltrates the Juukou Base. Rei penetrates the deception when Gagamirror steps on flowers as he took a young boy who Takuya knew to see the Beet Machines (earlier, Takuya had swerved and crashed the Beetluder to avoid hitting some flowers). He was killed by the Beetle Break.
• Combat-Mecha Dangar (戦闘メカダンガー, Sentō Meka Dangā, 25 & 30) is a blue robot with red circles on his chest, elbows, and shoulders, and black spikes on his arms, legs, and head. Dangar's mission is to eliminate the escapee Lala, who had been forced to help build the Death Gaohm, a super-cannon that could destroy an entire country in one blast. Lala is actually a scientist from the Aroa dimension and although she falls in love with Takuya, she returns home after Dangar and the Death Gaohm are destroyed. Later was revived, but killed by G-Stag.
• Macho No. 5 (マッチョNO5, Matcho Nanbā Faibu, 41) is Schwartz's older brother, though Schwartz actually built him with his own two mechanical hands. He is muscular with blue and white armor plating and a face/faceplate like Schwartz's. He is injured in a battle with the B-Fighters. Mostly to save him, Schwartz enters Macho's head to pilot him personally. Macho's final plan to rid them of the B-Fighters is to destroy himself. He tells Schwartz to leave his body, but his brother refused. Seconds before his death, at the hands of Super Blue Beet, Macho ejects Schwartz to save him. The only remains Schwartz found later is Macho's eyepiece which he takes as a memento. He vows to defeat the B-Fighters for his brother. Macho No.5 was later revived and absorbed by Jagul in the series finale.
