The series also adds some original elements, while omitting the political aspects of the original work and film. The show combines elements of Verhoeven's film and the original novel, such as the extraterrestrial race known as the Skinnies, powered armor suits and drop pods. The entire series is available to be streamed on Crackle in the U.S., along with several Minisodes.
It was later picked up by the Sci-Fi Channel in the U.S. The series aired for one season in the syndicated BKN Kids Network block beginning in August 1999 in the United States and Canada. In this adaption of Robert Heinleins novel, we follow the adventures of a squad of troops as they fight in a war of survival against merciless alien. The show focuses mainly on the Roughnecks' missions, rather than addressing the larger war. It follows the exploits of the Mobile Infantry squad, "Razak's Roughnecks," during the SICON–Bugs War between a newly united humanity and an extraterrestrial race, known as the "Bugs," also sometimes referred to as Arachnids. The film's director, Paul Verhoeven, served as executive producer. Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles is a CGI animated television series based on the 1959 novel Starship Troopers by Robert A.
