>>115495218I'd love to see your concept art anon!
Being the one that proposed the wanting to be a rockstar element I'm partial to that, but I also like what
>>115496042 said.
I'd go like this:
It's the future, Earth is a space civilization but some weird bug-like aliens are attacking various earth colonies and seem to be headed towards earth (basically the Starship Troppers premise... only not fascist).
The situation is so dire that the Earth government has put an obligatory planetary conscription, so of course young adult but teenage at hearth Maggie Pesky is pissed about not being able to follow her musical dreams, so pissed that she sneakes her guitar with her at military school even if it's prohibited, hoping to spend her time exercising
But the school gets inespectedly attacked and the standard training mech suites (Bio Uniform Zapper) are more or less worthless and everything goes south really fast.
Finding herself surronded by bugs with the mech suit barely funcional, Maggie decides to play some rock for the last time and, don't you know it, the bugs react negatively! even more negatively after she's able to connect her electric guitar to the mech's hardware.
Now she can save her friend (I'm imagining she still has that nerd frend from the original cartoon) from the bug attack. and The two get rescued and brought in front of the academy's leader whom, after hearing what happened commissions the local sceintists to develop a new mech suit that, from now on, all the teams will use: the Bio Uniform Zapper 2nd iteration (B.U.Z.2.).
Maggie friendly names hers "Buzz"
Debating with myself if the school should be on Earth or an alien planet, leaning towards the second so we can hype the bugs getting earth for a future season finale.
