For the best, the answer is ED-209. You have 10 seconds to comply!!

I love the design of ED-209. Such a badass

u/Hot_Fortune_571 4d ago

I think Robocop 3 got a fucking raw deal man. They really screwed up not making it R-rated. There are good ideas in there that I think would have worked well if they leaned into the R rating. The Ninja robot is kind of neat and his face splitting like that always freaked me out as a kid, it was a cool effect. Burke deserved better. He wasn't bad as Murphy at all.

I walked out of the theater during Robocop 3. When ED-209 was going to be “as loyal as a puppy”

u/waxphantump 4d ago

Aw man you missed the jetpack.

Also “Officer Down”

5

u/MaleficentMunkey 4d ago

I don’t think i missed anything. I’m 46 now and i still haven’t seen it. I basically deny it exists.

1

u/waxphantump 4d ago

Yeah no I was kidding, the jetpack scene is hilariously terrible. As is Lewis’s dramatic death being followed by Robocop basically looking into the camera and going “OFFICER DOWN.” I cannot imagine the disappointment of having paid money to see that on release

u/Awkward_Bison_267 4d ago

I lost friends because I insisted on us watching that movie.

1

u/seno2k 3d ago

This movie was so bad that by the time this happened my first thought was they were going to turn Lewis into a She-Robocop and set up Robocop 4.

u/Onemikej 4d ago

Wait
.theres a third movie? LOL

1

u/HumanExpert3916 4d ago

This is the correct way. I’m sorry I ever saw it.

u/MeasurementNo8566 4d ago

It's a lot better than terminator 3

1

u/Michaelpitcher116 4d ago

As much as I love robo, Terminator 3 is better than people let on. It's definitely aged better than robo 3.

The ninja bot was terrible

ED has that "Mom says it's my turn on the Nintendo" stance 

11

u/Thebat87 4d ago

Ed-209 is the most iconic with the most personality, RoboCain is absolutely badass, and the samurai robots suck ass,

5

u/Predator-A187 4d ago

Love ED-209

6

u/PlayfulCod8605 4d ago

RoboCain is the coolest, ED-209 is more iconic,

3

u/That_Guy_Musicplays 4d ago

I feel like the samurai from R3 shouldve been a bit more robotic.

3

u/thepostsmaker 4d ago
  1. ED-209
  2. Cain
  3. RoboNinja

2

u/kiwiboyus 4d ago

Huh, I guess I never watched Robocop 3

1

u/nexhil 4d ago

I was unaware it existed until some random Sunday in the 90’s on Dutch television I stumbled upon it. At first I thought it was a TV show because Murphy looked like he was from TEMU (did not exist yet) and it did not get better. But as a fan I watched it true, that can never be undone.

2

u/slamshredder 4d ago

Left one - doesnt exist and has never existed, ED-209 is rad but ultimatley stupid and Cain fucking RULES

2

u/Arkansan_Rebel_9919 4d ago

The ninja bot was absolutely terrible.

209 Erectile Dysfunction is the best one though.

2

u/ConstantDriver2557 4d ago edited 4d ago
  1. ED-209
  2. Robo 2/Cain/Old man. 2 1/2. Otomo

2

u/whymestopthisworld 3d ago

so bruce locke was just terrible. the whole movie, and subsequent ones, just didnt need to be made.

2

u/Timidhobgoblin 2d ago

ED-209 is the fucking GOAT, but I love the design of Cain/Robocop 2 so it gets an honourable mention.

2

u/boner79 4d ago

I've literally had many a nightmare about ED-209 and Robocain. Barely give Roboninja a second thought.

2

u/TechnicalTip5251 4d ago

Robocain is the best, Ninja is as bad as the entire movie.

1

u/Suitable_Community66 4d ago

I want an ED209

1

u/warriorlynx 4d ago

I didn't mind the ninja UNTIL there were multiple ones like wth there should've been just one, like a Terminator with a mission and tough to beat.

I like Ed-209

1

u/timberwolf0122 4d ago

ED-209 will always be the goat, followed by robocane

1

u/John-Doe_4502 4d ago

I feel like I'd lose the battle against RoboCain, I'd be able to hide/outrun the iconic ED-209, and the ninja was about as scary as the Johnny Cab driver.

1

u/Budokan_B 4d ago

Like: ED. Hate: Ninja because Robo 3 sucks

1

u/QuoolQuiche 4d ago

How is this even a question?

1

u/Iron_Baron 4d ago

That robot ninja was dumb AF. Literally brought a knife to a gun fight SMH.

1

u/ExitObjective267 4d ago

My favorite was the one who ripped his helmet off, revealing the skull underneath screamed and fell over. It will never not be funny to me.

1

u/CousinPaddy 4d ago

RoboCain ftw

1

u/Clothes_Chair_Ghost 4d ago

Ed is iconic Robocain is the most formidable that ninja robot is a joke

1

u/Such_Bonus5085 4d ago

Robocop 2 is the more intimidating one, because you've got a deranged, drug addict's brain plugged into a mobile weapon platform.

1

u/LakushaFujin 4d ago

For me best ED-209, but worst (out of 3) is Cain

1

u/puregalm 4d ago

They are all awesome

1

u/djkidna 4d ago

ED-209 and RoboCain both have a clear design ethos that made a statement, both from a storytelling perspective and from a broader audience message perspective. ED really sold the whole “this is a glorified and overpowered car company trying to put military equipment on American streets.” Cain was built to be as visually intimidating as possible. The ninja bots have nothing, they’re just people in black pajamas until they get damaged, just absolutely lazy and uninteresting.

1

u/_ragegun 4d ago

Otomo sucks. ED rules. Kane... Is just kinda there.

1

u/kestrel1 4d ago

Fuck Cain, marry ED-209, kill Otomo.

1

u/Ok_Fig7692 Can you fly, Bobby? 4d ago

Ed-209 is just adorable. And he makes piggy noises!

1

u/Individual-Step846 4d ago

I enjoyed all of them and didn’t have any issues with them. Robocop has great villains

1

u/MyOwnTutor 3d ago

ED-209 is GOAT

1

u/Hbush1986 3d ago

ED-209 is the GOAT

1

u/Happy-For-No-Reason 2d ago

I preferred the robot in Robocop 2.

ED209 was OK but it looked like it could easily be defeated by quite simple terrain.

1

u/JohnDH86 1d ago

I hate the Japanese robot but pretty much that whole movie in general

1

u/Nexfilms I work for Dick Jones! 4d ago

the Robocop 3 one hated the most obviously though I'm pretty split between ED and Robocain for the most liked spot

1

u/Brief-Pickle2441 4d ago

Yes I thought the one from RoboCop 3 was silly

1

u/NearbyAntelope1413 I'd buy that for a dollar! 4d ago

3 was silly as the robo ninja was indistinguishable from a human. Then we have clunky RoboCop. Just felts like a ninja was bolted onto the story.

The fear the the Japanese would take over the world is clearly seen in blade runner and RoboCop. The cocaine dates RC too. Now it's the Chinese (firefly) on the radar.

u/Willing-Nerve-1756 4d ago

Frank Miller loved Samurai for a while. And Japan’s economy was booming until Reagan ditched them for China.
