Boy have I got news for you- Starship Troopers3: Marauder has mechs. I haven't seen the next three movies/serieses.

Ah, I've never seen any of the sequels. Might check it out, thanks.

Only do so if you have high tolerance for bad filmmaking. I've seen the live action sequels, and they are BAD. The second film feels like an unrelated script that got attached to the IP for name recognition. As I recall, it's dull, poorly acted, ugly, and cheap. The third film does lean into the IP, complete with satirical propaganda gags and, yes, mech suits make an appearance. However, my recollection of the rest of the movie is that it is dull, poorly acted, ugly, and cheap, but less so than the second.

If you enjoy Sci Fi Channel original movies from the early 00s, these movies are birds of a feather with those.

I honestly don't have the time to watch all the shit I want to anyway, so it's a long shot.

Fair. I felt I should jump in and provide some more context than the other poster for exactly that reason. The worst thing a movie can be to me is dull, and those sequels qualify, in my opinion.
