In the series, they did have the MOLINAR armor suits.

This series was way more accurate to the original Heinlein novel, though the movies did carry the pseudo-fascist symbology further and better.. but then i suppose fascist dictatorships dont make for PC good guys in what is effectively a cartoon for kids, as opposed to an 18 plus film.

There is also a wargame thats based on this series, with extra bits pinched from the movies for effect.

Random example of the game from a random shop.
