New ROBOCOP

I'm sure I've seen a similar suit worn in metal gear solid games, can't remember now though.

Half cop, half machine...all Robert.

Bobcop FTW

The suit looks bad.

It looks like a man in a suite instead of a robot with a mans head.

Oh dear.

Looks like the Robocop of today is about to play Crysis. :rolleyes:

I think I'll pass on this remake thanks.

It's bad.

There's nothing wrong with the original so I don't get a reboot (which this is iirc?) why fix what isn't broken?

Hollywood is so lazy these days.

I agree, the only thing looking dated is some of the visuals (explosion type things and falling off buildings etc) They could have just remastered the original, replaced about 15 minutes of effects and been onto a winner :mad:

I am ******* dreading this, Robocop is one of my favourite films and I fear that they are going to make a total balls up of it.

Will this be a PG or 12A?

The RC-2000 looks different. Not that you can see much of it.

Robocop looks massively outdated. The movements of the robots looks like a amateur stop start film.

Stop making this remake!

you have 20 seconds to comply.....

Robocop is and was original and an absolute classic, just why? Guarantee it'll be for the transformers (current films) generation and rated 12A .

Video of new ED209:

An M1 being destroyed by 0.50 caliber machine guns?? Really?? I also really doubt that a 120MM APFSDS round would have no effect too,especially if fired at blank range.

It seems the new ED209 is firing unobtanium bullets and has unobtanium armour.

That's really the hole you're going to pick here? Really?

Apart from the fact Nu-Robocop looks like a cross between the Nanosuit in Crysis and the body armour in GI Joe?? But that one is obvious though,right?? I know they will make a decent amount of money out of this,but the original film is one of the classics of the 1980s. They seem to be remaking all of the classic films made by Paul Verhoeven.

Still,0.50 caliber guns defeating the frontal arc of a tank with Chobham armour?? Maybe next time they will have a near 70 ton MBT being defeated by a boy and his water pistol.

I suspect it will be a case of science fiction with 99% fiction built into it.

It seems the new ED209 is firing unobtanium bullets and has unobtanium armour.

I wonder how Robocop is going to destroy Nu-ED209 when an M1 cannot even scratch it??

Yes, he will use his handheld fusion laser X-Ray canon(tm).

Weebull · 18 Sep 2012 at 23:42

Yes, as opposed to that famously hard sci-fi original.

Thats why we saw the original ED209 destroying 70 ton MBTs.. wait a second it was not. It was meant to be an Enforcement Droid. The whole point of it not being mahoosive is that actually can do enforcement within cities - it was meant to compete with the Robocop programme,as a one sized fits all replacement for many pieces of equipment. The fact that it was so fail at everything,was the flipping joke,as it was being used for things which it was clearly not suited for. It reminds me of those US adverts for those all in one household appliances. Its not surprising if you see what Verhoeven did with the film. Remember the car advert and the fun poked at SDI too??

Now Nu-ED209 is BIGGER,BETTER and HEAVIER(tm). Its so BADASS,Robocop will need to throw an M1 at it. I wonder what sized streets will they need to operate the BIGGER,BETTER and HEAVIER(tm) ED209 in??

I suppose it will give an excuse for the filmmakers,for Nu-ED209 to be destroying whole city blocks with massive explosions when it goes after Nu-Robocop. Then Nu-Robocop will drop a building on it after using his handheld fusion laser X-Ray canon(tm).

The original film took the mickey out of the OTT culture and this one will probably embrace it,without realising the irony.
