I've had this memory of a U.S. TV show a friend told me about floating around in my head for close to 25 years now. I've half heartedly tried looking up what it could have been a few times over the years, but come up empty. Being so long ago combined with the fact it's second hand description (also my friend was a little spazzy so that complicates it further), I kinda doubt anyone will know what show it is I'm trying to describe, but it's worth a shot.
Time frame would have been between 1996 and 1999 when he told me about it, Im not sure exactly when. I stopped hanging out with him the same time that the original Mario Party for Nintendo 64 came out so 1999 would be a hard upper limit. I met him in 1995 or 1996. So that would be a start for the lower limit, but if it wasn't a new show at the time then it could have been from a few years before even.
The show may or may not even be a show. Could have been a movie that his dumb ass just called a "show".
If it was a TV show, I wanna say it was on either FOX or UPN, just because everytime I went over to his house that's what the TV was turned to. But it could have been any channel.
I remember seeing it on his TV once. It was live action. I think it featured large vehicles of some kind, possibly military in nature. Some of what I saw had desert scenes in it or at least scenes with large expanses of sand. It had a cast of main characters that included females and I want to say there were 5(?) main characters, but it could have been more or maybe only 4. He described them as "mechanics" who made their own vehicles or at least modified or worked on them. I think they maybe fought with them? Like had rockets or guns on them or something, but I could be wrong. They fought other vaguely military people. The part I saw involved one of the main characters dying, I think in an explosion. He said it was his favourite show (but that could just be because his dad also liked it) and that I should watch it with him, but I had absolutely zero interest in doing so.
The more I think about it, it may have actually been a movie because I remember him saying all the main characters died in the end. Unless it was on reruns, I'm not sure how he would have known that unless he was just pulling my leg.
Anyone have ANY flipping idea what this could possibly be? What's made me so interested over the years is the part where he said all the characters died at the end. If this was a TV show, I've always wondered why a TV show would end this way. Was it canceled? Was it's always supposed to end this way? Wtf kind of a TV show would kill off its entire cast? Unless it was actually a movie, in which case that's not unheard of I suppose. Any guesses or leads would be greatly appreciated.

I did not expect an answer so quickly, but it most certainly is not unwelcome.
