Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills

Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters from Beverly Hills is an American children's television series produced by DIC Entertainment. It aired on the USA Network's kids' block, USA Cartoon Express, from October 1, 1994 to January 28, 1995, with reruns later airing on This TV's Cookie Jar Toons block from 2011 to 2012. The show follows four Beverly Hills teenagers chosen by a blob-like alien named Nimbar to battle monsters sent by the evil Emperor Gorganus of the planet Meleculah, all while dealing with high school problems.

Set in Beverly Hills, the story begins when Nimbar recruits the four teens and gives each a tattoo based on a constellation. When the tattoos flash, a portal opens to Nimbar's chamber. The teens use Transo Discs to teleport to monster attacks, transforming into masked Galactic Sentinels. By placing their hands in an interlocking square, they can summon a more powerful sentinel called Knightron. Unlike similar shows, the heroes are not close friends and often struggle to get along. People also notice when they go missing—when Drew's aunt discovers her secret, she takes her to a psychiatrist for her "delusions."

The main characters include Laurie Foster, the smart and popular cheerleader leader who becomes Scorpio the Scorpion, wielding a slim-bladed sword that fires energy blasts. Gordon Henley is a preppy, money-obsessed teen who becomes Taurus the Bull, using a staff. Drew Vincent is a tough, poetic waitress at the Café Maison coffee shop who becomes Centaurus the Centaur, armed with a trident-battle axe. Swinton Sawyer is the shy, hyperintelligent brains of the group, who becomes Apollo, wielding a double-bladed weapon. When Laurie is badly injured by the monster Predaraptor, an alien warrior named Rick temporarily replaces her. Rick is the sole survivor of his planet, cold and angry toward Nimbar, and his true name is unpronounceable to humans, so he insists on being called Rick. In sentinel mode, he becomes Orion the Hunter.

The villains include Emperor Gorganus, ruler of Meleculah, who wants to conquer Earth as the focal point of a galaxy-conquering network of Power Portals. He watches battles through a lens-like device. His unintelligent pet purple bird once tried to conquer Earth while Gorganus was on vacation.
