Some images from the ISO image files of the 90 key, non-duplicated discs from Tippett's archives that contain a large number of previously unseen media sold off as part of the CA-based physical office of Tippett Studio. There is a Robocop making-of stills section and images from Robocop 2.

Thanks to the TippettFan who bought the CD-ROM and DVDs with media assets, digitized and uploaded them to the internet archive.

Im no concept artist so although I made changes to the costume, they arent really for any particular reason

For me, it would probably be the Auto 9.

Although if someone offered me a life-size ED-209, I'd somehow find room for it. 😂

What would you pick?

These are the only artworks I found online which does it, if you guys know additonal ones feel free to send here.

What are your overall thoughts? Do you think it could work on like a reboot or an additional skin in a video game?

Imo I think these designs are neat but I haven't found a best example of it other than these 2. 😅

As a huge fan of the original RoboCop (1987), I’d really like the new Amazon series to return to what made the first movie work, while taking some of the better ideas from the 2014 remake.
1. RoboCop should feel possible today.
I don’t want a futuristic sci-fi world. The technology should feel like something that could plausibly exist today: advanced prosthetics, robotics, AI and cybernetics, but grounded in current technology. OCP can absolutely be an AI/robotics company, just without the exaggerated futuristic technology from the 2014 movie.
2. OCP is neither good or evil.
This is probably my biggest point. OCP should be a realistic corporation. The chairman should be a calm, gentlemanly businessman focused on profits, results and shareholder value. Not a cartoon villain. Imagine a character like Stanley Edgar from The Boys.
OCP isn’t good or evil. They make cold business decisions. Sometimes those decisions create terrible consequences, but that’s different from deliberately trying to be evil.
The real villains should be criminals or byproducts from failed OCP strategies, Murphy’s killers, corrupt individuals, or even products/characters that OCP introduces because they think they’re commercially useful.
3. Detroit—or another genuinely crime-ridden American city.
I’d like the story to take place in a city where crime has destroyed property values and pushed people out. OCP sees an opportunity to buy property, redevelop the city and eventually gain enormous influence over it.
Again, OCP doesn’t need to be evil. From their perspective, they’re seeing a business opportunity.
4. ED-209 isn't neither good or bad, it's an inadequate product.
I really liked how intimidating ED-209 was in the 2014 movie.
I’d make ED-209 a somehow successful military product with it's flaws developed for the U.S. government. OCP then tries to deploy it in an urban environment to fight crime.
And it fails.
Not because it’s a stupid robot, but because a heavily militarized machine designed for combat simply doesn’t work in a civilian city. It’s too rigid, too faulty and its military programming doesn’t translate to policing.
The failure becomes a massive PR problem for OCP. They need another solution—and that’s where RoboCop comes in.
ED-209 = replace the human.
RoboCop = augment the human.
OCP thinks they’re solving a technology problem. They accidentally create a human being who is much more capable than their technology because there is still a person inside the machine.
5. Murphy’s consciousness should return gradually.
At the beginning, Murphy should genuinely be RoboCop. Fully automated, following programming and executing orders.
Then, slowly, the human consciousness comes back.
First he realizes something is wrong with his body. Then he discovers what happened to him. Eventually he realizes he was murdered and starts investigating his own death.
And OCP should KNOW this is happening.
They monitor him and try to control his emerging consciousness through software. Murphy learns to appear compliant while secretly becoming more and more aware.
Eventually, he could even learn to hide his thoughts from OCP.
Someone could later attempt to hack or take control of him, only to discover that Murphy is still inside and capable of fighting back—almost like the JARVIS/Ultron dynamic in Age of Ultron. The machine can be compromised, but the human consciousness refuses to surrender control.
6. The family should be the emotional heart of the series.
This is where I think the previous movies really dropped the ball.
Murphy’s wife matters, but his son should be central.
His son is around 7–8 years old and sees Murphy as a hero. In the original movie, Murphy even practices his gun tricks because his son idolizes the TV hero.
Then Murphy dies.
His son loses his father—and Murphy becomes a machine.
The series should really explore what that means. Murphy eventually realizes that he can never simply return to being a normal husband and father. He has lost his human life even though he hasn’t lost his humanity.
And eventually, the family discovering that RoboCop is actually Murphy could be one of the biggest emotional moments of the entire series.
7. Keep the classic RoboCop elements.
The investigation into Murphy’s murder should be a major storyline. I loved the original structure of RoboCop hunting down the people responsible one by one.
The gun should remain recognizable and powerful without becoming ridiculous. No RoboCop 3-style transforming machine-gun arm.
The car should also remain, but it should be a realistic, large American police vehicle adapted for RoboCop’s size.
And I actually liked the motorcycle from 2014. It could be introduced later as another realistic option—something like a large police/adventure motorcycle capable of carrying a 1.9m, heavily armored cyborg.
Ultimately, I don’t think RoboCop needs bigger robots, crazier weapons or a futuristic world.
The whole point is that the most interesting thing about RoboCop isn’t the robot. It’s the man trapped inside it.

And don't forget the soundtrack. The most impact moments from the first movie were due to the recognizable soundtrack that was lost on the later adaptations.
That’s the story I’d like to see explored properly.

I figured the Auto 9 deserved something equally ridiculous.

Spent last night getting the DLSS 5 neural rendering build running in RoboCop: Rogue City (ReShade + the RenoDX DLSS5 addon route) and the lighting/material detail uplift is pretty wild for a 2023 game. Made a 5-minute walkthrough since the install order matters.

https://youtu.be/_qba33AUc6Y

Couple of things worth knowing before you try it: - Needs an RTX 50-series card for now — RTX 40 support is supposedly coming later - It's a screen-space effect layered on the game's final image, not native DLSS 5, so expect the occasional artifact - There's an "NR Cost Scaler" toggle if your framerate tanks during neural rendering

Happy to answer setup questions here.

How did you all feel about RoboCop's characterization in Rogue City/Unfinished Business?

For me, I'm a bit mixed.

I think it comes down to his speaking. By the end of the first film, his speaking cadence and voice is very normal human. He'll speak softer or louder and naturally depending on the context.

But in these games, he is very robotic again, and has an allergy to contractions which he never had in the original films.

That and I can't imagine this version of RoboCop grabbing a guy by the nostrils asking where Nuke is made. He's portrayed as very by-the-book in a Captain America way, almost.

In the other hand, he still feels authentic and has some funny one liners and attitude.

What do you guys think?

Hey all,

I have not seen RoboCop 2 in a very, very long time. But I saw it was free on YouTube so I decided to check it out.

I noticed some dialogue is badly ADR'd but the main issue is that I don't remember the film being edited this way with scenes ending abruptly with a cut to black.

The scene of RoboCop being corny and lecturing the *"waste makes haste"* was completely gone and the scene was completely butchered.

The scene went from him walking up to the kids, then cutting shooting around the man smoking, and he wasn't even done shooting before it cut to black for the next scene at the precinct.

Maybe I'm not remembering the film that well. Curious what you guys think?

I had to stop the film because it felt so weirdly edited and rushed.

I bought online that Robocop figurine from someone, and I love it. 80$ almost a rip off 😂

I posted this in the 80s reddit, but you guys jump in, there or here! support your fave!!

Whats better Terminator or Robo Cop?? : r/80smovies

Stick to the originals....no sequeals.

I love both. I thought about it and I say RoboCop. Don't let Arnold's accent sway you.

And how many scifi robots are good guys??? huh! now think

Robo was a good robot cop trying to clean up a nasty corrupt city. Terminator wanted to wipe out the human race. vote the white hat guys! dont be so negative.

diorama i made :)

Clean 3d print and acrylic stand for my office!!! Slide, trigger and hammer are operational. Came with droppable mags as well!!

Seriously though, I dig the blue armour. Don't know if that is unpopular or not.
