Juukou B-Fighter (重甲ビーファイター, Jūkō Bī Faitā, literally "Heavy Shell B-Fighter", stylized in English as Beetle Fighter), 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.
