No, what s seen below isn t a badly performed tribute to Metroid and when you re thinking Paul Verhoeven, wrong too. Apparently Bandai (of Gundam fame) modified Robert A Heinlein s classic Starship Military right into a six-part anime miniseries entitled Starship Military OVA. It broadcast within the eighties but has generally been forgotten. A couple of episodes take presctiption YouTube, however. Inside it, the ape suits within the novel received serious Japanese mecha treatment. Now an otaku artist is repairing the suits in line with the OVA.
To become fair, the actual existence models appear nearer to Heinlein s description, bulky and ape-like.
But what s pictured above may be the incomplete version. In line with the OVA, the battlesuit packs a computerized grenade launcher on a single shoulder along with a handheld assault rifle.
As being a sculpture, it isn t mobile and can't be worn. Still, this is a remarkable tribute to both a cult OVA along with a sci-fi classic. Remember, otherwise for Starship Military lots of today s most widely used games won t exist, i.e. Halo, Gears of War, Lost Planet, Aliens, etc.
