Crash and Burn (1990)

C+B is only really notable for being one of two films that pretended to be a sequel to Robot Jox (1989), when in reality neither of them were. Furthermore, that shaky notability only comes into play if you’re one of the people that consider Jox to be a cult classic. If not, then C+B is derivative of every film set in an isolated station/outpost that has a killer on the loose.
In its favour, the lack of atmosphere and emptiness of the environment do help set the tone of the decaying world during a post-economic fall. Also, the stop-motion Mech is excellent, but it's only onscreen for a short time.
