This reminds me of when I first watched Firefly and the security forces turn up wearing the Starship Troopers armour! Completely threw be for a bit! 😆
"Threw be" sounds like what a Furby becomes immediately after switching one on, in person.
Ahhh. You've picked up on my bad keyboard swiping skills. 😄
My mind to your mind. My autocorrect to your autocorrect.
Dance! Boogie!
Holy shit they did you're right.
Those armor bits are in quite a few shows and cheap movies.

You'll note that's literally a twenty year old forum thread.
Apparently it's because the movie was one of the last real sci-fi movies done practically instead of with copy and paste CGI, and so they're one of the last sets of armor you could fit a squad of sci-fi goons with.
And yet I totally bought it as a sucker!
