[@justinsellers9402]

Even the much, much smaller Marauder suits in the book would never get that close to each other on deployment unless they were retrieving a fallen comrade. The point of the suit was extreme firepower and mobility, controlling an area hundreds of yards across.

[@oledahammer8393]

Even much farther, I mean, the ones in the book had tactical nukes on them!

[@5133937]

Yeah someone really needs to do a remake of the book but give it the Batman Begins treatment, make it more serious and gritty, and depict the Mobile Infantry’s power armor as it actually was in the book - jet-assisted leaping miles at a time, dispensing nades for hundreds of yards or more on either side, and with an option for tactical nukes too. A 1-man blitzkrieg basically.

[@konradfoyle]

that was the main idea for the original, and we sort of have them on ST 4 & 5. But for ST1, Paul HATED the book (he even had to have someone else finish it for him). He took the names and some events from the book but the rest is his own work. Besides, budget wasn't going to be enough to cover for those kind of suits... Imo, best thing they did to set the satire of the film.

[@phoenixx913]

Well from what I understand those were like the very first prototypes and rico and his team were field testing them at least during that movie.

[@Azraiel213]

Thank god he made someone else read it, or they might not have managed to sneak such a robustly Heinleinian message into the "satire" of the movie@@konradfoyle!

I'm genuinely surprised as to whoever convinced investors into getting a green light for a sequel after a horrendous flop that is starship trooper 2.
