VR Troopers

Ryan, Kaitlin and J.B. are called to meet the mysterious Professor Hart at his lab in the mountains. On the way, they are attacked from the air by Air Striker and Fighterbot, and on the ground by Skugs. They make it to the lab, receive their powers and are sent to fight Grimlord's (Ziktor when in his human guise) forces. Ryan remains to battle Gunbots, Tankbots and Polarbot. Kaitlin and J.B. fight the Skugs and one of Grimlord's most powerful robots, the mighty Congbot. J.B. and Kaitlin are successful. However, during a battle with The Decimator, Ryan is thrown from a cliff and lies injured in a deserted quarry....to be continued

Kaitlin and J.B. locate Ryan in the quarry and hurry to his rescue. After a Skug fight, he is brought back to the lab and repaired. Through the use of virtual reality, the Professor shows them what may be in store for them if they continue their quest. Meanwhile, Grimlord is planning a full scale assault on the planet. The teens ask the Professor what they can do to prepare for Grimlord's next attack. He instructs them to practice their martial arts skills. While out taking photos, Kaitlin discovers Grimlord's troops moving into position. She alerts Ryan and J.B. and all three transform and unite to fight and save the planet. They are victorious and, in the end, vow to do everything in their power to make sure the people of the world are safe from Grimlord and his evil mutants.

Ziktor wants to destroy all books that teach about solar energy. He starts with Mr. Reese's bookmobile, as a way of getting at J.B. The boys are getting ready for a doubles Karate tournament when Kaitlin alerts them and they rush to save J.B.'s dad from the attacking Skugs. The boys win the first round of the tournament, but join Kaitlin between rounds to take on The Eliminator who is attacking the Central Library. Ryan forgets his virtualizer back at the Dojo, so Kaitlin and J.B. go to fight while Ryan retrieves it. Using the new Vortex power, J.B. takes the battle with Grimlord's airforce to a virtual quarry. Ryan joins them and the robots are defeated. The boys win the tournament and J.B. gives his father the prize money to fix the bookmobile. Ryan surprises J.B. by adding his prize money to J.B.'s, sacrificing his goal of becoming partners with Tao in the dojo.

Kaitlin's cousin, Betsy, comes for a visit. She aspires to be a reporter like Kaitlin and, while on a story, discovers green slime oozing from the grass in the park. Kaitlin and the guys analyze the slime and discover it is a defoliant that will destroy all of the plants and trees. Meanwhile, Betsy is captured by Skugs. Kaitlin and the guys rescue her and face Grimlord's mutants. In the end, everyone is safe and Woody loves the article that Kaitlin and Betsy wrote about the slime.

When a homeless lady wanders into the dojo with amnesia, the kids try to help. Tao cooks herbal food, students pass out flyers, J.B. uses his computer and Kaitlin runs her photo on the front page of Woody's newspaper. Ryan also loses his memory when he collides in midair with Airstriker, sent by Grimlord, to destroy him. Professor Hart and Jeb try to bring back Ryan's memory in the lab, while J.B. and Kaitlin battle the Laser Bot and General Ivar's robot vehicles. The kids win and the love of his dog brings back Ryan's memory. The newspaper photo reunites the homeless lady with her family.

Ryan and J.B. are training two young brothers who argue with each other all the time. Ziktor/Grimlord decides to unleash two monster robot brothers of his own, the Swordbots. Kaitlin and the brothers stumble across Grimlord's "Power Diverter" and the brothers are captured by Skugs. To track them, Professor Hart invents a "virtual blood hound" using a robotic "Sniffer," linked to Jeb's real nose. The brothers argue so much the Skugs separate them. Kaitlin and J.B. are able to free one boy while Ryan fights the Swordbot robots and frees the other boy. After this, the boys agree not to argue with each other and they win the tournament.

Grimlord has caused a malfunction in the computer systems using a mysterious virus, and only the V.R. Troopers can stop it.

A neighborhood policewoman offers Tao and the kids a challenge: turn Becky into a karate contender in two weeks and win $1000 from the Police Association to help other street kids. Ryan accepts the challenge and Kaitlin commits to help. When Grimlord hears about this offer, he issues his own challenge: his robots will compete to see who will face the V.R. Troopers at the reality barrier. Hammerbot meets Ryan in the Forest of Virtual Reality. Spiderbot faces J.B. at the top of the world and Kaitlin must hold back General Ivar's robot assault vehicles and fighter jets. Jeb becomes Becky's friend and helps her to stay on track and win a ribbon in the beginners division at the Inter-dojo tournament

While helping Kaitlin install a difficult graphics program in her computer at the paper, J.B. gets sucked into the monitor and disappears. He is held in Grimlord's dungeon in virtual reality where his V.R. powers are drained. Kaitlin goes to the dojo and alerts Ryan. They try to contact The Professor using the dojo computer, but are nearly taken captive via the monitor themselves. Skugs appear and they do battle in the empty dojo. After defeating the skugs, Ryan and Kaitlin go to the lab to consult with the Professor. Ryan decides to allow himself to be captured and taken to Grimlord's dungeon in an effort to save his friend. Like J.B., Ryan gets sucked in through a computer screen. Once in the dungeon, he battles Grimlord's mutant robots and escapes with his friend. Outside the dungeon, Ryan confronts Battlebot in a one-on-one confrontation, ultimately defeating the robot. J.B. is taken back to the lab where the Professor restores his powers. Ryan's friendship for J.B. saved J.B.'s life.

Kaitlin is paid a visit by an eccentric young inventor who has plans for a pollution-free motorcycle engine. After showing the guys the plans, they decided to build a motorcycle version in V.R. and put it in J.B.'s Skycycle. Meanwhile, Grimlord, concerned that the engine will destroy his (Ziktor's) oil business, sends Skugs to the Dojo to look for the disk with the engine's design on it. They trash the place after a fight with Tao and take all the disks they can find. The kids come back to find the place a mess. They then hear that a busload of kids has been hijacked. The teens contact the Professor, who alerts J.B. Ryan and Kaitlin transform. Kaitlin fights Skugs as Ryan battles Grimlord's Leviatrons which have broken through the reality barrier. They all win their fights, including J.B. against Drillbot. In the end, the invention is turned over to Woody'S friend who owns a motorcycle company. Everyone is happy.

Grimlord plants a spy in reality -- an investigative reporter named Jeremy whom Woody hires at the Underground Voice Daily. After Jeremy helps Kaitlin, J.B. and Ryan in a Skug fight, they take him into their personal lives. His robotic nature allows him to outperform them at martial arts, computing and reporting, bruising their egos a little. When Woody assigns him to investigate the V.R. Troopers, Kaitlin checks into his background. With the Professor's help, she and J.B. discover he is a virtual being--but their discovery comes too late. Jeremy, using computer technology, traps J.B. and Kaitlin in the lab and rigs the portal to send Ryan to a hidden virtual combat zone. Jeremy transforms into a robot to fight Ryan. Kaitlin and J.B. free themselves, take the V.R. Skybase and, amid aerial attacks, search for Ryan. Finally, Ryan defeats the robot and Kaitlin and J.B. bring him back to reality.

In Ziktor's tower, Ziktor decides to turn the Troopers against each other. He sends a skug to the Dojo disguised as a martial arts student who spars with J.B., transferring to him an electrical charge that, in turn, is delivered to Kaitlin. The charge changes their personalities. J.B. picks a fight with Ryan and Kaitlin encourages J.B. Ryan is stunned at the change. Troubled, Ryan talks to Jeb who agrees to accompany him to the Underground to confront Kaitlin. At the paper, Jeb causes trouble for Percy; Kaitlin tells Ryan they are no longer friends. However, she will give him her car to fly to a friend and meet with J.B. Once there, Ryan and Jeb discover they've been set up: they fight skugs and flee in the car, enduring Polarbot's weaponry fire on the ground and in the air. The boy and dog discover J.B. and Kaitlin are firing on them, too, from the mother ship. Landing at the lab, Ryan manages to trap Kaitlin and J.B. in an electronic field. He leaves to defeat Polarbot--an act that will return his friends to him. Inadvertently, Jeb frees the two evil Troopers. Ryan fights J.B., Kaitlin and the Polarbot in order to win back his friends.

Grimlord (a.k.a. Ziktor) needs an old growth forest clear for a massive break-through from Virtual Reality. The Troopers confront Ziktor, who lies and says he'll stop. Discovering that the logging is to continue, they try to get Mayor Rooney to stop it, but the Mayor's wife thinks the forest is full of savage animals (Ziktor sneakily convinced her of this) and she supports clearing the forest of these beasts. Luckily, Professor Hart recognizes that the forest bugs Jeb has picked up are endangered insects, and they can get a Federal injunction to stop the logging. They stop Ziktor's chain saws, but Grimlord sends Chain-Bot and General Ivar to destroy the forest. The Troopers return to the forest, when the earth shakes from Grimlord's attack. They split up, Ryan tackling Chain-Bot and J.B. and Kaitlin facing General Ivar's tanks. The Troopers are victorious and the forest is saved. Back at the U.V.D., Ziktor is tricked into building a park, the Mayor congratulates the Troopers, and Jeb gives the Mayor's wife endangered fleas.

A celebration is held on the tenth Anniversary of Tao Dojo and Grimlord sends his Evil Magician to abduct the real magician and catch the Troopers with their guard down. Using Kaitlin and JB to assist him in a trick, he steals their virtualizers. In the pursuit that follows, JB and Kaitlin battle Skugs while Ryan transforms and fights the Magician, now in his robot form. Tricked into a fall from a high rooftop, Ryan is damaged and taken to the lab for repair. A plan is set: Kaitlin and JB will use the flying car to locate the Magician and Ryan will transform and fight the Magician for the virtualizers. The Magician is located and a battle ensues between him and Ryan. Kaitlin and JB are caught in a dogfight in the air above. Our heroes are ultimately victorious and the virtualizers are returned.

Jeb the dog is depressed because he's fallen for Princess the Dog and her puppies, but Princess's owner, Mrs. Burns, calls Jeb a pound mutt and blocks their romance -- even though Mrs. Burns' little boy, Timmy, is all for it. When Kaitlin does a dog show photo session, Jeb and Princess sneak into the darkroom. Mrs. Burns is furious and the puppies run wild. Kaitlin takes Jeb to see Princess at Mrs. Burns' house and a Skug appears. During the fight, the puppies are stolen. Jeb promises Princess that Ryan will get the pups back. However, Grimlord wants the puppies in virtual reality to lure the Troopers into the firing range of his ultimate robot - The Trooper Terminator. Jeb asks Ryan to help, so the V.R. Troopers battle Grimlord's best robots to rescue the puppies. Woody'S newspaper throws a "Puppy Homecoming" party attended by Mayor Rooney and his wife. Jeb gets even with Mrs. Burns by pulling a thread on her dress, which unravels, as she runs screaming from the party in her white slip.

Following an earthquake, the teens discover, using the help of Virtual Reality, that someone is digging shafts to the center of the Earth under a downtown building. When they look into it, they are confronted by Skugs and Fistbot. After a bigger earthquake, the Troopers simulate what would happen if Grimlord reached the core: Armageddon! They get into the building and make their way through a series of traps and ambushes. Ryan takes on Fistbot, defeating him. J.B. and Kaitlin vortex the skugs and General Ivar'S airforce to the Virtual Reality Quarry and defeat them and a tank force. Kaitlin calls upon her V.R. Battle Club and destroys the tunnel. The city is saved. Ryan applies the lesson of care and dedication to his search for his father.

The military has been robbed of the preserved brain of the greatest military mind in history. Grimlord will try to use the brain in his scheme to take over the planet. However, General Ivar decides that he has had enough of Grimlord's orders, and, using a plan the brain has come up with, plots to freeze all of the power lines in the city. If successful, the military will be helpless when the virtual army attacks. The Troopers must recover the brain and stop General Ivar in order to preserve peace in Cross World City.

Kaitlin starts having dreams about the power and invincibility of Grimlord's forces. The nightmares are so vivid she can't sleep and her work starts to suffer. Grimlord is using his "Dreammaster" robot to use her worst fears against her. Her condition deteriorates until she is forced to tell the boys that she feels she can no longer be an effective V.R. Trooper. She is taken to the lab, where they learn what Grimlord has been putting into her mind. The Dreammaster challenges Ryan and he goes off to fight him. Grimlord uses this opportunity to launch an attack to separate and conquer the Troopers. J.B. has to fight a mutant and then a full scale air and ground assault. Things go bad when the Troopers are in danger of being overwhelmed. At the last moment, Kaitlin overcomes her fears and charges in to the save the day.

The teens are going to put on a dance-a-thon so that a student of theirs, Brandon, can afford to go to a special music academy. Grimlord decides to hypnotize everyone so that he can defeat the Troopers and play his evil music for everyone, causing them to become Zombies. Grimlord's plan goes awry as J.B. and Brandon are not hypnotized. Grimlord then kidnaps Brandon. The Troopers must infiltrate Grimlord's disk plant, rescue Brandon, and fight the evil Diskbot.

While on a hike, the kids and Jeb discover an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere. Kaitlin takes a photo of the building and spots a man in a room with bars on the windows, sitting next to a strange "S" symbol on the wall. After enhancing the pictures at the lab, the teens discover that the man looks a lot like Ryan's father. Grimlord launches an attack. While J.B. and Kaitlin deal with the attack, Ryan returns to the building to find his dad. Grimlord is defeated but Ryan gets to the building too late. It is empty.

Grimlord plots to overtake reality by making his mutants invisible. At the same time, Tao tries to teach the Troopers the importance of stealth in combat. In a comic sequence, they try to attack Tao, but are unsuccessful. They step outside to cool off. While alone in the dojo, Jeb is used as a guinea pig by Skugs and made invisible. He attacks them. Ryan discovers the skug fight and helps the invisible Jeb defeat them. They take Jeb to the lab for treatment, where they learn that Grimlord is invading, using the power of invisibility. The Troopers transform. Ryan meets Spitbot and Toxoid in a battle where they can disappear. Kaitlin and J.B. take on the skugs. They are ultimately victorious. Back at the lab, Professor Hart is successful at making Jeb only half visible (his front half). Ryan learns to appreciate things in life before they disappear.

Kaitlin receives flowers from a secret admirer -- Grimlord! Colonel Ice-Bot is developing evil flowers to capture and destroy the Troopers. The flowers keep coming and Percy tries to claim they're from him, but his sneezing demonstrates he's too allergic to have anything to do with flowers. Ryan and J.B. stake out the U.V.D. Office and trail the delivery person who turns into a Skug and a fight ensues. They hurry back to warn Kaitlin, but she has just sniffed the toxic flower Colonel Ice-Bot sent. She feels very weak, so the guys take her to the lab, where she disintegrates. She has been pulled into an inter-reality prison. J.B. makes an antidote and crosses the barrier to Kaitlin. He tricks General Ivar and frees Kaitlin, but General Ivar releases the Pollen-Bot. General Ivar, and his forces, follow right behind J.B., but he defeats them and returns to reality. The Troopers are reunited.

Inside a house in a quiet neighborhood, Colonel Ice-Bot has penetrated the reality barrier with an ionic cyber beam. Grimlord wants him to build a robot to open the reality barrier from the Troopers' side so that General Ivar'S armies can attack. Kaitlin, Ryan and J.B. investigate and meet Manuel, a young boy who insists the house is haunted. He promises to take a photo of the ghost inside. Kaitlin tries to convince Woody at the newspaper to do a story on the haunted house, but he's not convinced. When Manuel calls, Kaitlin rushes to the house to take a photo of the robot. Kaitlin and J.B. battle the Vacbot in Cross World City while Ryan tracks Colonel Ice-Bot to the Air Castle and destroys his database and flying laboratory.

J.B. coaches one of two rival baseball teams for a benefit game to raise money to upgrade the field and to secure the lease. Ziktor wants to end the lease and take the land. After Skugs fail to kidnap one of J.B.'s players, Ziktor orders Metalbot to take the boy from his apartment complex. Ryan chases the robots but loses them. Search parties go out looking for the boy, but the Troopers know he won't be in any ordinary place. They transform, searching the virtual pathways. Grimlord attacks the Skybase, delaying them. Ryan is left alone to fight Metalbot in a desperate effort to save the boy.

Skugs dognap Jeb when he steps outside for a nature call. They take him to Grimlord, who is angered by the dog's wise-cracking mouth. Although some robots want to terminate Jeb, Grimlord has a plan: he will set a trap. When the Troopers come to rescue Jeb, the warriors will be waiting. Crabor promises to do the job. Torpedo Bot will provide back up. General Ivar will send the Frogbot to ensure success. Led by a phone call to the harbor, our V.R. Troopers battle Grimlord's forces as Jeb gives a play-by-play from his vantage point. The Troopers win and are reunited with their mascot. Jeb decides it's a lot safer inside the lab.
