Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles (1999–2000) watch online

Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles is an American animated television series based on the 1959 novel Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein and the 1997 Starship Troopers movie adaptation. The film's director, Paul Verhoeven, served as executive producer. 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 show focuses mainly on the Roughnecks' missions, rather than addressing the larger war.

The series aired for one season on the syndicated Bohbot Kids Network block beginning August 1999 in the United States and Canada. It was later picked up by the Sci-Fi Channel in the U.S. (along with the rest of the BKN block) and Teletoon in Canada. The entire series was available on Crackle in the U.S. included several Minisodes.

The show combines elements from Verhoeven's film and the original novel, such as the extraterrestrial race known as the Skinnies, powered armor suits and drop pods. The series also adds some original elements (e.g., the war starts on Pluto), while omitting the political aspects of the original work and film. Set right after the events of the 1997 film and ignoring the events of the film's sequels.
