In terms of Starship Troopers, it's just a movie based on it. Or adapted from it, it's not supposed to be a straight translation. And the mech armor thing was too costly to produce (as were the concept of drop-pods). How do I know this? Cuz I have the MAKING OF STARSHIP TROOPERS book still!


As for GI Joe.

What if I told you that there were rumors and speculation flying over the netwaves that Hasbro wanted to 'up' GI Joe so the posse would be wearing 'powered suits'. What if I told you THOSE stories were happening a YEAR before anyone had heard of Sigma6?

Then BAM, Sigma6 shows up with these funky suits and well...

Sigma6 ran it's course but it would appear Hasbro STILL wants to do the powersuit thing. I'm not defending them, I'm just saying, Hasbro has a thing with powersuits. Just as they have a thing with ninja.
