This escape pod from Starship Troopers 3 looks shiny. The movie will also feature a vehicle that's half Lamborghini, half attack helicopter, according to the movie's official site. There are more photos, of people in rugged military costumes, here. If you didn't know there had been a direct-to-video Starship Troopers 2, you're in great company.
