They outsource his construction to China. By page 54, they are already onto Robocop 4. Oh, god… oh dear god… Robocop is a Transformer. Full transformation.. First up is at the unveiling ceremony for Robocop in Detroit, from a TV reporter covering it.
If you can get past Robocop The Transformer, there are some interesting action beats. There's more to it, but for the full breakdown you'll need to head over to either Bleeding Cool or Drew McWeeny's Twitter feed. So far, I'm not freaking out about the actual plot details as much as I am the writing style of the script.
Joshua Zetumer and Nick Schenk have very few actual feature-length screen credits between them, and nothing on the scale of this Robocop remake.

RoboCop 2 Synopsis: After a successful deployment of the Robocop Law Enforcement unit, OCP sees its goal of urban pacification come closer and closer, but as this develops, a new narcotic known as "Nuke" invades the streets led by God-delirious leader Cane.
As this menace grows, it may prove to be too much for Murphy to handle. OCP tries to replicate the success of the first unit, but ends up with failed prototypes with suicidal issues Faxx, a scientist straying away from OCP's path, uses Cane as the new subject for the Robocop 2 project, a living God. Genre: Action , Crime , Sci-Fi. Director s : Irvin Kershner. IMDB: 5. R Year: min 1, Views. Next ». No embarrassing alarm noise, no need to trouble the police Lethal response.
On the international scene, the Amazon nuclear power facility has blown its stack Environmentalists call it a disaster. But don't they always? In national news, Attorney General Marcos today Gunned down 20 minutes ago by a militant addict of the deadly designer drug Nuke. The greatest health threat facing our nation. The most addictive narcotic in history. A plague that This station has just received this transmission from Cain And they will have it.
The assassination is the latest act of terrorism by Cain After the latest breakdown in negotiations, Detroit's police returned to the picket line OCP cut our salaries 40 percent and canceled our pensions.
God knows why, but they want this strike. What happened? Get up! Shut up, you fuckhead! Night's made. Let's pay Papa and get us what we need. Nuke me, baby! Come on! Let's go! Let's load up and get the hell out of here! Third drawer, bottom. Amusingly, the other execs don't call for a "goddamn paramedic" as they do in the film; they call "Medical Concepts" instead, a further nod to the image of a massive corporate takeover of the country. Where Murphy and Lewis tangle with the Boddicker Gang for the first time.
Not many changes here and not much else is revealed that we don't already know. The main change is that it happens at night, and also, they do not end up at the steel mill , but at a hideout in a huge warehouse complex full of crates, cargo containers and similar paraphernalia. What happens in the hideout is slightly different. Lewis is not punched off a balcony by Joe P. Cox , but clocked in the face by a blackjack and falls down a greasy freight elevator shaft and gets quite badly smashed up on machinery therein this way round, it's a bit more believable that Joe doesn't finish her off, as he couldn't see her in the dark elevator shaft.
Trapped in this shaft, cables covered in grease, Lewis is unable to climb out in time to get to Murphy, and can only listen as his torture progresses. To make matters worse, when she finally claws her way out, hands bleeding, she gets lost amongst a maze of stacked pallets of beer.
It's graphically mentioned how Murphy is trying to stand on broken limbs and is basically having a god awful time. When Lewis arrives by his pulped body she gets much more angry and upset, shouting at the dispatcher and being a lot more proactive than she was in the film. On his way to the operating room, Murphy has many more flashbacks, from early childhood swimming lessons, to being in school, to meeting his wife, to his son being born, on top of the ones you see in the film.
Where Murphy is reformatted into RoboCop. Nothing of particular note is changed here. Some more technobabble, but otherwise how it appears on screen. Again, nothing of note is changed. Some very minor changes, such as Bob Morton trying the "rudimentary paste" instead of Donald Johnson. At the grocery store, a thieving kid has been added, who's shoplifting candy bars. The robber, called Hop Head in the script, threatens to shoot him rather than the grocery store owner's wife. There's lots more bullets richocheting about the place and lots more blood too.
Like Bobby it's unclear if the Hop Head is dead, but he's certainly severely injured by the time RoboCop is done with him. RoboCop also takes the time to inform us that "prisoner transport will arrive shortly", rather than seemingly walking off like he does on film. It's also clear that the other cops are unnerved by RoboCop, as detailed when he passes a few of them at a burger stand. Nothing to report, except the "executive lounge" is much nicer, with beveled glass and posh tiles, a sauna, a gym and "everything else you need to combat stress and fatigue here at the top".
Much more luxurious than the glorified public toilet we see on film. Where RoboCop has a bad dream, gets up and walks out of the precinct and tangles with Emil. Pretty much the same, except Emil doesn't deliver his "I know you. We killed you. We killed you! He's panicking more too, dropping his cigarette by mistake and almost losing control of his bike, instead of the smooth getaway he executes in the film. RoboCop's also on fire, but it doesn't bother him.
The most interesting change was the removal of the scene where RoboCop visits his grave. It's teeming down with rain, and Robo is walking amongst the tombstones.
With every crack of thunder and flash of lightning we see the faces of Emil, Steve Chan Minh , Joe and the others opening up with their shotguns. Very similar to the events seen on screen, except that Clarence is not identified as such until the end of the scene. Also of note is the fact that Bob Morton has a cat, which befriends Clarence, much to Bob's chagrin. Neumeier and Miner couldn't bring themselves to bump off the cat though: it slips out of the front door along with Clarence before the grenade goes off.
During which RoboCop tracks down Clarence. This is totally different. Instead of downloading pictures into his brain and going off to pump Leon for info, RoboCop prints out pictures of Steve, Joe and Clarence, then drives around the wet, dark streets looking for people to interrogate. First he presses a pimp for information, forcing him against a wall whilst showing him the pictures, but no luck.
Then a few blocks down he tries a couple of hookers, but still no joy. A few hours later, the rains stopped, and Robo's lined up a group of ten teenage gangsters against a wall, on their knees. One by one he shows them the pictures, but it's not looking good. But the last kid hesitates, glancing at Steve Minh's picture. This doesn't go unnoticed and RoboCop first steps on his leg, then pulls him out of the line by his collar. The kid talks fast. The fight in Sal's "rock shop" is much more brutal and taxing on everyone involved.
The shop itself is an old supermarket with a ramshackle assembly line installed, described as the largest processing lab in the city. It's all pretty much the same until the "come quietly or there will be As everyone in the factory is wondering what to do, loads of tactical graphics are appearing on Robo's HUD, even more than we see on the film, together with an ammo counter and a "targets remaining" tally.
It's Leon who spits the rebuttal at him and fires the first shot. Clarence hits the floor as the bullets start to fly and basically tries to get the hell out of there as everyone else opens fire. Particular mention is made of RoboCop using his left arm to shield his face as he advances, pumping out rounds from the Auto Steve gets a burst in the chest and is thrown in to Sal's lap, then things fall apart rapidly.
Sal's bodyguard Frankie cops a round between the eyes. The other one is hit a glancing blow, but stumbles into the automatic fire of the lab workers. Meanwhile, RoboCop is advancing further into the maelstrom. Joe Cox is firing a. Leon grabs him and pulls him through a fire door. Before Sal knows what's going on, RoboCop is upon him, and throws him across the room, then smoothly reloads the Auto Sal smashes through a load of glassware then lands on top of a rotating sorting machine of some sort.
A few shots later and the only two left standing are Clarence and RoboCop. Clarence is cornered, pulls out a grenade and pulls the pin. Clarence stands his ground, grits his teeth He drops the grenade mid-flight, but it sails away and explodes harmlessly somewhere else. Then RoboCop basically works on Clarence in the same manner as the film, but he never goes to throttle him, just cuffs him and throws him in the car as Clarence is trying to barter his innocence and dropping a certain name.
Precisely the same, except it's not scripted that Clarence spits out a gob of blood on Sergeant Reed's desk. Kurtwood Smith ad-libbed this himself. Exactly the same, except Dick Jones smokes, and they call Directive 4 Directive 3 several times. The only other things of note are ED firing its cannons constantly when it's upside down on the stairs and a cleaning woman tutting and remarking that the office "ain't gonna get cleared up tonight.
Very similar to the sequence on film, with the interesting line above added. What this tells us is that as well as cutting resources and manpower to the cops on the street and getting them killed to provide raw materials for the RoboCop program, Clarence has also been instructed by Dick Jones to kill cops off to make his pet project seem more viable.
