Cybertron: The Lost VR Troopers Pilot Once Meant for Jason David Frank

A rare piece of 1990s tokusatsu-adjacent history surfaced online: the original pilot for VR Troopers, produced under the working title Cybertron. According to the account surrounding its rediscovery, the pilot was originally built to star Jason David Frank in the lead role, before his breakout as one of the most recognizable actors in Power Rangers redirected his career elsewhere.

The pilot offers a glimpse at a version of the Saban-adapted franchise that never made it to air in that form, predating the VR Troopers cast and branding that audiences would eventually see.
