Description
I was inspired a bit to go back to a very old idea I had to continue the old Beetleborgs TV show. When I was around 11 years old and Beetleborgs Metallix was coming to an end, I hit upon the idea for a new season with new powers a la the MMPR formula, and shifted from the "Metal" of season 2 to "Gem," thus hitting on the admittedly uncreative "Gemollix" subtitle. Little did I realize at the time that there were only two beetle-themed Metal Heroes series. In going back to this concept, I've designed new metal suits based more on samurai armor, while also trying to repeat some of the themes of the previous costumes.

This scene reintroduces the adult versions of Drew and Jo McCormick and their friend Roland Williams, reuniting after two decades of silence from the mysteriously vanished season 2 villain, Nukus. He was never personally defeated in the finale, so my concept would be that he went underground (more metaphorically than in the show) trying to find some new power that could defeat his enemies. Being a living literal piece of art he doesn't much care about how long it takes. I think he would have found an evil counterpart to the wish-granting phasm, Flabber, and perhaps then he could create a new army of even more powerful monsters. Meanwhile, the three Beetleborgs have kept their powers, and their civilian abilities have become more pronounced. They are attacked separately by these new monsters, and despite their growth in power can only barely escape. They reunite at Zoom Comics, where they are met with a new comic series. Art Fortunes is, of course, quite old and definitely retired at this point, but it turns out the new comic is being written and drawn by Heather, now going by the last name Baldwin even after her divorce from her ex-husband Joshua. She was mentored by Art and also knows the Beetleborgs' secret, and has created this new series as a way to give them a new boost in power.

That's the basic concept. I probably won't do much with it, but I do love going back to old passion projects from over 20 years ago when I was an excited child just beginning to grasp his art.
