VR Troopers Episode 49 New Kids on The Planet

Well hello there everybody welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we are looking at New Kids on the Planet written by, and directed by Robert Hughes.

So we start off with today’s “my dad taught me” moment where Ryan talks about how his dad taught him that just because something is different doesn’t mean you should afraid of it.

Then we go to Crossworld Forest where the Troopers are camping, and after a comedy bit with Jeb eating hot dogs a weird cgi bucket flies through the air then it lands two children a boy named Neon, and a girl named Niklon in silver jumpsuits carrying a device that looks like a giant lightbulb come out

The bucket flies off by itself, and Neon, and Niklon explain that they’re from another planet, and the device they’re carrying is a part that needs repairing, and the alien children use telekinesis to give the part to the Troopers.

At Ziktor industries one of Ziktor’s secretaries informs him about what’s going on, and he orders her to capture the aliens, then he explains his plan to use the aliens’ technology for his own ends then he transforms into Grimlord, and explains his plan to his mutants.

At the lab the alien children now named Eaj, and Nikla show some Spielban footage, and that their home planet of Sakras was destroyed by war so their friends, and family went them on a spaceship to a distant asteroid colony when their spaceship broke down, and the flying bucket was just a mini shuttle.

While at the Virtual Dungeon Decimator informs Grimlord that the aliens are with the Troopers so he summons Icebot, and orders him to send Skugs after the aliens.

The Troopers take the aliens to Tao dojo, and spar to show them some martial arts, and the aliens explain that they have their own version of that, and float in the air doing flips, and waving their arms, and afterwards the Troopers make them promise not to use their powers in public, and decide to have the kids dress into regular Earth clothes while unbeknownst to them Percy sees everything about the aliens.

Then the Troopers decide to take the kids to the Underground Voice Daily, and the kids show off their powers like storing things in their forheads, and telepathy which leads to a comedy bit where the Troopers find out that Percy knows about the aliens.

The Troopers wonder what to do about Percy when a black van shows up, and Pizza delivery guy comes out, and after Ryan explains he didn’t order anything the delivery guy transforms into an army of Skugs.

First the Troopers punch, and kick the Skugs then they kick, and flip them. Then Ryan tricks a Skug into hitting a wall, Kaitlin trips one with her arm, and JB gets kicked by another while two other Skugs kidnap the kids.

The Troopers destroy the Skugs they were fighting but are too late to rescue the kids then the Professor contacts the Troopers, and informs them that Grimlord has sent Blue Boar into our reality so the Troopers transform.

Kaitlin fights Skugs while Blue Boar comes after Ryan with his sword so Ryan kicks him but it doesn’t work, and Blue Boar hits him.

JB finds the van, stops it with his hands, and then throws it back but it transforms into a mutant named Vanbot, and jumps at JB but JB kicks him so Vanbot transforms back into a van.

Blue Boar punches Ryan while Kaitlin keeps fighting Skugs, and JB on the Turbo Cycle chases after Vanbot who fires electricity while Air Fighters, and Quantum Cruisers fire from the air, and Vanbot jumps on the Turbo Cycle so JB takes the fight to virtual reality, and knocks Vanbot off.

Blue Boar keeps coming after Ryan with his sword, and Ryan keeps kicking so Ryan jumps onto a rock, and jumps down doing a vertical Lighting Hand then he follows with a horizontal Lighting Hand, and destroys Blue Boar while Air Fighters, and Quantum Cruisers keep firing on JB so he uses Techno Bazooka to destroy them.

Then JB grabs Vanbot, and shoots him with his laser causing Vanbot to stop allowing Ryan, and Kaitlin to rescue the kids, and JB destroys Vanbot with Laser Lance, and at the Virtual Dungeon Grimlord once again shames his minions for failure.

Later at the forest the kids are back in their space clothes, and the Troopers have finished repairing their part so the the flying metal bucket comes back, and they say good bye, and go back to the ship.

Anyway “I miss you dad” the end.

Final Thoughts.

Today’s episode was pretty good.

I liked the plot with the alien children since it felt like what I think a hypothetical adaptation of just Spielban would look like had the show gone with the original idea of Cybertron.

I liked Vanbot because of the fact that he was a robot that could transform into a van though I’m not sure of I feel about his robot form since it’s just a van with hands, and feet with a face on the bottom.

I thought the fight with Blue Boar was cool though I almost wish they saved it for the end of the Season but like with Race to the Rescue the Season’s almost done, and we’re even closer to running out of Metalder footage.

I can’t even think of anything that they skipped ththat I would have kept since everything they took out of the Metalder or Spielban episodes was stuff that I would have saved for other episodes.

My only thing is how they didn’t resolve the sub plot of Percy finding out about the aliens.

Only 1 more episode until the Season One finale.

Tune in next time everyone for more Magic Happy VR Troopers Reviews.
