Opening Credits

Source Description Edit Note
B-FIGHTER #09.

The BeetleBorgs are trapped in the Phantom Zone... I mean a plane of glass that twirls about into a portal then exits the opposite side, with the three then deposited on a surface with bubbles and mist. The trio look around the unusual dimension, when Green suddenly spots something.

Cuts follow-ups of Garganturat's giant head appearing before the trio.

B-FIGHTER #09.

Garganturat spews flames at the BeetleBorgs repeatedly, until they roll out of the way.

Cuts follow-ups of monster in ball form swinging through the trio, sending them flying to another area, which they check out until the monster appears with a huge block of cheese.

B-FIGHTER #09.

Green reacts, then reaches down for his holstered Sonic Laser.

US replaces follow-up to change it to a less realistic gun.

B-FIGHTER #09.

Green fires his Sonic Laser at Garganturat, missing him but hitting his cheese sparkily. Garganturat rushes at him, takes a laser without harm, then Green kicks at him.

"Zzzip!" sound effect blurb added; US replaces follow-ups of monster biting his wrist to replace the Sonic Laser.

B-FIGHTER #09.

Green is flung over Garganturat, falling on his back on the misty ground. Red rushes in with a kick on Garganturat, Blue joining in, Red gets sparkily struck by the monster, who then turns and strikes Blue, who blocks it, before striking back with a few chops to the noggin. Blue socks Garganturat in the snout, flinging him into the air. The monster lands, spews flames again, causing the regrouped BeetleBorgs to spark burst. Garganturat gets intimdating with his movements closer, Green nod-talks, then the team begins to summon their weapons. We see Blue ready his Stinger Blade, before all three have their weapons ready, with flames rising around them. Green leaps up, Garganturat does as well, with Green snagging Garganturat by the mouth in his Hunter Claw. The monster struggles, but Green keeps a grip, before raising Garganturat into the air, swinging him around, then finally releasing, sending him flying. Red then faces the monster when he lands, readying her Striker Blaster, firing reddish beams at Garganturat, bursting him.

"Oof!" sound effect blurb added to shot 2; "Aarggh!" sound effect blurb added to shot 5; shots 9 to 23 altered to fit comic panels; "Kazoo" sound effect blurb added to final shot.
