VR Troopers Episode 50 Message from Space

Well hello there everybody welcome to another Magic Happy VR Troopers Review, and today we are looking at Message from Space written by, Margo McCahon 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 with hope, and hard work you can accomplish anything.

We then go to the Underground Voice Daily where Woody is using a model train to give everyone weird snacks ending with him, and Percy fighting over the controls, and Percy breaking the train.

Then the Troopers get a message from the Professor so they sneak over to the archives when no one’s looking, and the Professor tells them that they have a message from Dr. Monroe a NASA scientist who says that when they reestablished contact with an old satellite they got a message from Ryan’s father in the Virtual Dungeon, and that he wants to meet the Troopers, and the Professor personally to show them the message.

At Ziktor industries Ziktor himself intercepts the message from Tyler, and decides to have his secretary kidnap Dr. Monroe just to be a dick to Ryan, and then he transforms into Grimlord, and orders a black grim reaper themed mutant with a scythe for a hand named Skullbot to destroy Ryan.

The Troopers wait for Dr. Monroe’s train to arrive, and Ryan is nervous about what the message could be, and Dr. Monroe’s train arrives the Troopers go to see him but he’s quickly abducted by Skugs.

So JB asks some random guy who looks like Breckin Meyer (though considering when this came out, and that Jaime Kennedy was almost on this show that could very well be him but don’t quote me on that) to borrow a motorcycle.

JB briefly turns into Hako from Metalder, and in just a few minutes proves everything I said about Ghost Biker, and chases after the Skugs, and Skullbot but Air Striker, and Fighterbot fire on him, and he makes it out okay but he loses the Skugs so Ryan transforms.

Ryan finds the car the Skugs, and Dr. Monroe were in empty by a warehouse so Ryan goes in, and sees Skullbot holding Dr. Monroe hostage. Then Skullbot cuts Dr. Monroe, and he and Ryan jump up, and down a bunch of times then Skullbot makes knives come out of his feet, and jumps at Ryan with them


But Ryan dodges, and punches Skullbot who disappears, and Ryan finds out that the Dr. Monroe Skullbot attacked was just a robot, and the real one is trapped in another warehouse while Skugs play hot potato with his briefcase.

At the Virtual Dungeon Grimlord, and Skullbot go over how the briefcase Ryan has is a bomb, and Ryan’s more concerned about the briefcase then the fact that Dr. Monroe was a robot.

But thankfully JB, and Kaitlin have common sense, and convince Ryan to use a bomb disposal robot to open the briefcase from a distance, and Kaitlin realizes that the real briefcase is with the real Dr. Monroe so the Troopers head to the lab.


At the Virtual Dungeon Grimlord, and Zelton implant a power chip into Skullbot that will enable him to destroy the Troopers.

While at the lab the the Professor suggests using the visors to use a satellite that the government is letting them use just once to find Dr. Monroe through a security chip implanted in him, and the Troopers find Dr. Monroe, and decide to transform..

Skullbot goes after Ryan with his scythe but Ryan dodges so Skullbot tries to run away, and sneak up on Ryan so he can try again while Kaitlin, and JB fight Skugs who try to use their capes to trap JB but he blows off one Skugs helmet revealing it’s robotic face, and destroys them with Laser Lance while Kaitlin rescues Dr. Monroe.

The Professor tells Ryan that Skullbot has an explosive device in his chest that will blow up if Ryan punches him then Skullbot attacks Ryan with his scythe, and lodges it into Ryan’s arm, and uses a sword with his other one.

But Ryan blocks, and throws the sword so Skullbot electrocutes him so Ryan dislodges the Scythe, and punches Skullbot destroying him then Dr. Monroe gives the Troopers the briefcase, and Grimlord once again swears vengeance on the Troopers.

At the lab the Troopers open the briefcase, and shows them Tyler Steele trying to escape Grimlord’s dungeon but failing.

Anyway “I miss you dad” the end.

Final Thoughts.

Today’s episode was pretty good.

I liked the idea of Tyler Steele sending a message to the Troopers, and Grimlord trying to stop Ryan from seeing it.

I thought Skullbot was cool with his grim reaper motif, and powers.

I also liked the part with JB on the motorcycle using Metalder footage.

I also thought it was funny that Ryan’s first reaction to findIng out that Dr. Monroe was a robot was that it was weird but he didn’t question it.

I think my only nitpick may be that I felt that the fights with Skullbot felt like they could have been made into one fight without hurting anything.

I suppose I should talk about the infamous Metalder footage they took out where Metalder severed his own arm to get rid of Skullbot’s counterpart but I don’t know by that logic they should have kept the part where Skullbot’s counterpart dreamt about Metalder destroying Neros Empire.

When we come back we’ll look at the Season One finale.

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