I had just remembered to start posting these images.
The following series of pics are companion pieces to the Command Marauder Armor image I had posted earlier. These are concept pieces created for a very little known 1988 Anime Series adaptation of Starship Troopers known as Uchuu No Senshi.
It was a OVA series only 6 episodes long and while more well adapted to the original Novel then the more well known film versions, they appeared to have far less action then both versions.
Anyway this is the most Primary version of the eponymous Marauder Powered Armor suit, and just as the same reason as why Im posting it here this image was made as a visual reference chart for the shows animators to make each drawn frame to look fluid and fairly the same.
The Image details the front and left sides of the Armor. Personally I think this is most fairly most closest to what Heinlien in his fairly detailed (albiet short) description of what a Marauder suit looks like.
I Hope this also helps anyone else with either inspiration or design of their own armor suit concepts. As always comment and Enjoy!!!

Powered armor comprised SUCH an important part of the book that the movie, albeit fun, was a bit of a disgrace to Heinlein's original work.
I can definitely see Johnny Rico coming down from orbit in this bad boy.
