Metal Hero writers: part 4 : the B-Fighter era

The "Police themed" Metal Hero theme had been used for  6 years. As such, the Metal Hero needed to find a new direction to avoid being repetitive. After Blue SWAT, the franchise took a completely different direction and used a fantasy theme. The Metal Heroes would gain their powers from insects after being chosen, and they would be confronted to invader from another dimension. Their support team has a Sentai vibe, with a scientist but also an insect mentor. The B-Fighter series had somewhat of a Super Sentai feeling, while using an insect theme (insects being trademark of Kamen Rider). That theme would be used during two years, with Juuko B Fighter and its sequel B-Fighter Kabuto.
The writing team of that era isn't that different from the late "Rescue Police era", with Junichi Miyashita as head writer, and a team of secondary writer similar to those used in the previous shows. However, Miyashita works with a less important number of secondary writers than in the "Rescue  Police era"
After B-Fighter Kabuto, Metal Hero would take again a different direction, with very kid friendly shows using funny robots, but since I don't know much about those shows, I won't talk about them.
