About the show
VR 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. VR Troopers was the first "sister series" to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Much like Power Rangers, it was an Americanization of a Japanese tokusatsu children's program series by Toei Company. The series is a co-production of Toei and Cyberprod.

The show featured early CGI and video effects mixed with Japanese stock footage from three different Metal Hero Series: Metalder, Spielban and Shaider. In 2010, the copyright for VR Troopers was transferred from BVS Entertainment to Saban Capital Group. In 2018, the rights were transferred to Hasbro, as part of the acquisition of the Power Rangers brand, which included related intellectual property and content libraries previously owned by Saban Properties.
The show was canceled after only two seasons primarily because the available Japanese footage was quickly exhausted. Its successor, Big Bad Beetleborgs, another Saban adaptation of a Metal Heroes series, was cancelled for the same reason. The show spawned a toyline and a video game for the Sega Genesis and Game Gear.
