So what exactly was from ZO and J? I know Destructosphere is from ZO since I saw the movie ages ago. This episode was pretty interesting. I liked Magno and Combat Chopper. Talking vehicles were a little annoying, but they looked cool. It definitely had its problems. While the Maggots were cool, the US fights here were really under developed.
I think it's pretty obvious why this failed as it's too much like MMPR, but obviously inferior. You can even tell that Leawood High is the same set they used for Angel Grove High. Margie and Herbie are meant to be like Bulk and Skull, but didn't have as much going for them. They even made the Maggots to be like Putties.
Okay, what the heck happened to Destructosphere? I remember Dex being defeated by him and once he got his new vehicles, Dregon sent down another monster and Destructosphere was never seen or mentioned again. Everything went back to normal. Does he reappear again later?
For such a low budget series, it wasn't half bad.
