The Mobile Infantry may be famous for their rifles and bravery, but their true battlefield dominance came from the incredible mechs, powered armor, and battle robots developed throughout the Starship Troopers universe. In this video, we leave behind the original novel and dive into the movies, games, animated series, and tabletop adaptations to explore every major combat suit ever fielded by the Federation. From towering walking tanks to advanced powered exoskeletons, these machines transformed ordinary soldiers into unstoppable Bug-killing warriors. We begin with the legendary M11 Marauder, the massive neural-linked combat mech that changed the Second Bug War with overwhelming armor, incredible mobility, and devastating interchangeable weapons. Then we move to its faster experimental successor, the Marauder Mk II, combining agility, missiles, rotary cannons, and brutal chainsaws into one terrifying assault platform. Next comes the rugged M7 Razorback, an earlier combat walker that proved its worth during the First Bug War before eventually giving way to the superior Marauder family. We also explore the iconic Duck and Ape Marauders from Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles, each designed for completely different battlefield roles while delivering incredible firepower against the Arachnid hordes. The video then shifts to wearable powered armor, beginning with the Federation's revolutionary Power Suit and its heavily armored Fortis variant, followed by the elite Marauder Suit used by special forces capable of orbital combat drops behind enemy lines. From there we examine the battlefield Command Armor, the reconnaissance-focused Scout Armor, and the heavily armed Marauder Armor from Starship Troopers: Terran Ascendancy, showing how each class specialized in leadership, scouting, or direct assault. We also take an in-depth look at the famous M-1A4 Powered Armor, one of the most recognizable Mobile Infantry suits across games, animation, tabletop miniatures, and roleplaying adaptations, complete with jump jets, environmental protection, and superhuman strength enhancement. Finally, we finish with the XM-550 CHAS, the Federation's advanced cybernetic assault robot whose powerful AI and overwhelming arsenal nearly rivaled an entire Mobile Infantry squad. If you've ever wondered how the Federation evolved from simple infantry into an army supported by gigantic combat mechs and advanced powered armor, this is the ultimate guide.

Kami dengan penuh hormat menghargai dan menjunjung kasih atas titah pandangan DYMM Tuanku Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah berhubung penyiapan projek LRT3, yang kini dinamakan Laluan LRT Shah Alam. Kami ingin dengan penuh hormat dan rendah diri menjelaskan beberapa perkara yang boleh disahkan dengan pihak Prasarana dan MRCB Bhd.

Pertama, projek LRT3 tidak pernah dihentikan, terbengkalai atau digantung semasa pentadbiran Pakatan Harapan antara tahun 2018 hingga 2020. Kami juga ingin menegaskan bahawa pentadbiran PH ketika itu menyokong sepenuhnya projek LRT3 dan menganggapnya sebagai projek kritikal dan penting untuk meningkatkan kualiti kehidupan harian penduduk Lembah Klang.

Kedua, pada tahun 2015, pentadbiran BN di bawah Perdana Menteri Najib Abdul Razak telah meluluskan RM9 bilion untuk projek LRT3 dan memberikan Prasarana jaminan kerajaan berjumlah RM10 bilion bagi tujuan meraih dana projek. Akan tetapi, Prasarana telah menganugerahkan pelbagai Kontrak Pakej Kerja, atau Work Package Contracts (WPC), berjumlah RM15.2 bilion pada Mac 2018, jauh melebihi peruntukan asal RM9 bilion yang telah diluluskan.

Setelah mengambil kira semua kos lain, termasuk tetapi tidak terhad kepada pengambilan tanah, yuran PDP dan perunding, serta faedah yang akan ditanggung sepanjang tempoh pembinaan, Prasarana pada Mac 2018 telah mengemukakan cadangan belanjawan projek baharu sebanyak RM31.65 bilion serta permohonan tambahan Jaminan Kerajaan sebanyak RM22 bilion bagi mendapatkan pembiayaan untuk projek tersebut.

Ketiga, selepas perubahan Kerajaan pada Mei 2018, kerja-kerja projek diteruskan tanpa gangguan, sementara pentadbiran baharu bekerjasama dengan rapat dan secara baik dengan Rakan Pelaksana Projek, atau Project Delivery Partner (PDP), yang telah dilantik, iaitu MRCB-George Kent, bagi merasionalisasikan kos projek.

Keempat, memandangkan projek LRT3 pada ketika itu hanya siap sebanyak 9%, kami mengambil peluang untuk melantik perunding kejuruteraan bebas bagi meneliti dan mencadangkan langkah-langkah rasionalisasi demi memastikan akauntabiliti yang sewajarnya terhadap projek tersebut. Langkah ini adalah penting kerana terdapat banyak hutang luar kunci kira-kira yang “tersembunyi” yang telah ditanggung semasa pentadbiran Najib. Ini adalah tambahan kepada puluhan bilion ringgit hutang yang ditanggung akibat skandal 1MDB bernilai RM50 bilion.

Perlu ditekankan bahawa mandat semakan tersebut menetapkan bahawa saiz dan skala projek mestilah memenuhi permintaan penumpang berdasarkan kajian trafik, serta perlu mendapat kelulusan Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat (SPAD).

Kelima, Jemaah Menteri telah meluluskan semakan kos menurun sebanyak 47%, daripada RM31.65 bilion kepada RM16.63 bilion, iaitu penjimatan sebanyak RM15.02 bilion.

Keenam, kami telah mengutamakan fungsi dan kepraktisan berbanding kemewahan dan kemegahan. Tiada keperluan untuk membina stesen bersaiz MRT bagi sebuah projek LRT. Langkah-langkah yang diambil termasuk:

Pengurangan bilangan tren: tempahan rolling stock dikurangkan daripada 42 set tren 6-gerabak kepada 22 set tren 3-gerabak, selaras dengan kajian trafik penumpang sehingga tahun 2035 yang dijalankan oleh perunding bebas dan diluluskan oleh SPAD.

Penangguhan (bukannya pembatalan) pembinaan 5 stesen LRT yang mempunyai unjuran penumpang awal yang rendah, sehingga permintaan masa hadapan mewajarkan pembinaannya, dengan peruntukan teknikal disediakan supaya kelima-lima stesen LRT tersebut boleh dibina pada masa hadapan.

Kelima-lima stesen tersebut sejak itu telah dimasukkan semula selaras dengan perkembangan semasa. Kerajaan kini telah menganugerahkan kontrak fasa kedua sebanyak RM5.3 bilion untuk kelima-lima stesen ini, penambahan bilangan tren and lain-lain penaiktarafan. Oleh itu, nilai projek telah meningkat daripada RM16.63 bilion kepada RM21.93 bilion. Jumlah ini masih RM9.72 bilion lebih rendah berbanding kos asal RM31.65 bilion yang diluluskan semasa pentadbiran Najib.

Tarikh sasaran siap projek telah dilanjutkan daripada tahun 2020 kepada 2024. Sasaran asal tahun 2020 sememangnya mustahil dicapai memandangkan hanya 9% projek telah siap menjelang pertengahan 2018. Pelanjutan ini menghapuskan kos pecutan, iaitu bayaran premium kepada kontraktor untuk mempercepatkan kerja pembinaan.

Ketujuh, Model PDP telah dimansuhkan. Di bawah model PDP, kontraktor memperoleh bayaran berdasarkan peratusan daripada jumlah kos projek. Semakin tinggi kos projek, semakin tinggi yuran yang diterima. Model ini mewujudkan insentif songsang kepada PDP untuk meningkatkan nilai projek. Model PDP tersebut telah ditukar kepada Kontrak Harga Tetap, sekali gus memastikan tiada lebihan kos kepada kerajaan.

Kelapan, projek LRT3 kini telah berjaya disiapkan, dengan peningkatan dan penambahbaikan tambahan dilaksanakan, sekali gus membolehkan penjimatan kos projek awal melebihi RM9.72 bilion untuk pembayar cukai Malaysia, dengan harga akhir RM21.93 bilion berbanding harga asal RM31.65 bilion yang diluluskan. Hasil daripada beban hutang projek yang lebih rendah, Kerajaan juga dijangka dapat menjimatkan sehingga RM10 bilion lagi dalam kos faedah sepanjang tempoh 25 hingga 30 tahun.

Kami ingin menegaskan semula bahawa penjimatan kepada Kerajaan Malaysia ini tidak dibuat dengan mengorbankan jumlah penumpang dan fungsi LRT. Penjimatan ini sebaliknya membolehkan Kerajaan semasa dan Kerajaan pada masa hadapan memperuntukkan semula dana kepada manfaat kebajikan lain untuk rakyat serta perbelanjaan pembangunan.

Kami ingin merakamkan setinggi-tinggi penghargaan dan menjunjung kasih atas keprihatinan Tuanku terhadap projek LRT3, yang sebagaimana telah dizahirkan oleh Tuanku, memainkan peranan penting dalam mengurangkan kesesakan lalu lintas, memendekkan masa perjalanan, serta menjadi pemangkin ekonomi kepada pembangunan di Selangor.

Joint Press Statement By Lim Guan Eng And Tony Pua

We respectfully appreciate and thank Tuanku for your observations on the completion of the LRT3 project, now named the LRT Shah Alam Line. We wish to respectfully and humbly clarify several matters which can be verified with Prasarana and MRCB Bhd.

One, the LRT3 project was never stopped, stalled or suspended during the Pakatan Harapan administration between 2018 and 2020. We would like to also affirm that the then PH administration had fully supported the LRT3 project and deemed it a critical and essential project to improve the daily lives of Klang Valley residents.

Two, the BN Najib administration approved RM9 billion for the LRT3 project and provided Prasarana with a RM10 billion government guarantee to raise funds in 2015. However, Prasarana awarded various Work Package Contracts (WPC) amounting to RM15.2 billion in March 2018, well exceeding the budgeted RM9 billion approved sum.

After accounting for all other costs, including but not limited to land acquisition, PDP and consultancy fees, and interest to be incurred during the construction period, Prasarana had submitted in March 2018 for a new project budget of RM31.65 billion and an additional Government Guarantee request of RM22 billion to raise funds for the project.

Three, after the change of Government in May 2018, the project work continued unabated while the new administration worked very closely and amicably with the appointed Project Delivery Partner (PDP), MRCB-George Kent to rationalize the cost of the project.

Four, as the LRT3 project was only 9% completed at that point of time, we took the opportunity to engage independent engineering consultants to review and propose rationalisation measures to ensure proper accountability for the project. The move was critical because there were many ‘hidden’ off-balance sheet debts incurred during the Najib administration. This is on top of the tens of billions of debt incurred by the RM50 billion 1MDB scandal.

It should be highlighted that the mandate for the review demands that the size and scale of project must meet passenger demand as per the traffic studies and must be approved by Suruhanjaya Pengangkutan Awam Darat (SPAD).

Five, the Cabinet approved the cost revision downwards by 47% from RM31.65 billion to RM16.63 billion, a savings of RM15.02 billion.

Six, we have prioritised functionality and practicality over luxury and grandeur. There was no necessity to build MRT-sized stations for a LRT project. The measures taken included:

Train Fleet Reduction - with the rolling stock order cut from 42 sets of 6-car trains down to 22 sets of 3-car trains in accordance with passenger traffic study up to 2035, conducted by independent consultants and approved by SPAD.

Deferring 5 LRT Stations with low projected initial passenger ridership (not cancelled) until future demand justified their construction, with provisions made for the 5 LRT stations to be built in the future.

These 5 stations have since been reinstated in-line with current developments. The Government has recently awarded the Phase 2 contract worth RM 5.3 billion for the above stations, additional rolling stock and other upgrades. The new phase increased the project cost from RM 16.63 billion to RM 21.93 billion, which is still RM 9.72 billion less than the original approved cost of RM 31.65 billion by the Najib administration.

The target completion date was extended from 2020 to 2024. The original 2020 target was impossible to meet anyway with only 9% completed by the middle of 2018. This extension eliminated acceleration costs, the premium fees paid to contractors to speed up construction work.

Seven, the PDP Model was abolished. In the PDP model, the contractor collects a percentage of total project cost. The higher the project cost, the higher the fees. This model creates a perverse incentive for the PDP to increase the project value. The PDP model was changed to a Fixed-Price Contract thus ensuring no cost-overruns.

Eight, The LRT3 project has now been successfully completed, with additional upgrades and improvements put in place, that enabled upfront project cost savings in excess of RM9.72 billion for the Malaysian tax-payers with the final price of RM 21.93 billion as compared to the original approved price of RM 31.65 billion. As a result of the lower debt burden for the project, the Government is anticipated to additionally save up to RM10 billion in interest costs over 25 to 30 years.

We would like to reiterate the fact that these savings to the Malaysian Government were not at the expense of the LRT passenger volume and functionality. These savings in turn allowed the current and future Governments to reallocate funds to other welfare benefits for the rakyat and development expenditure.

We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for Tuanku’s concern for the LRT3 project, which as the Tuanku rightly pointed out and plays an important role in reducing traffic congestion, time travel and is an economic catalyst for development in Selangor.
