Storyline

Insects all over the world begin to swarm for unknown reasons, with other animals and plants acting strange as well. To investigate this, Takuya Kai is dispatched with an Earth Academia group. Investigating independently, Takuya finds Guru who reveals that insects are preparing for battle against invaders from another dimension. Offering their aid, the Earth Academia create suits of armor to combat the threat as the Jamahl arrive to Earth to enslave humans. Though they have trouble perfecting the Bio-Machinery, Guru arrives to infuse the armor with the life force of many insects. Once the suits become the B-Commanders, one suit chooses Takuya while the other two bond to Daisaku Katagiri and Rei Hayama. With their newfound power, the B-Fighters fight to drive back Jamahl's forces.

Characters

The B-Fighters

The members use Bio-armor developed by the Earth Academia's brightest and infused with the life force of insects.
The Beet Machines are the mecha used by the B-Fighters to fight the Jamahl fighter jets, usually summoned by the command, "Beet Machines, launch!" They are housed within the Heavy Shell Base, a large hangar base located beneath the Earth Academia's parking lot; when summoned, the base rises out of the ground, allowing the vehicles to exit.
The Jamahl are beings from another dimension. Their base of operation, was the Jamahl Fortress, a claw-like dreadnaught. It had an opening where the palm would be, where the Jamar fighter jets emerged from and where Jamahl's new super-weapons were located.
The Jamahl Kaijin come in different armies, each led by one of the three Jamahl generals. During a fight with the B-Fighters, Gaohm would spirit all combatants into the Gaohm Zone, personalized super-dimensional battlefields where the Jamahl monsters can fight to their full potential.
