Oh Robo Cop, you stole my heart when I was a wee lad.

I used to have a robocop gauntlet that clenched when you pulled various strings attached to the fingers. I wonder where that went : (.

They were actually going to use ED-209 but all he did was give a 20 second countdown and shoot the film crew.

RoboCop part man part machine! The Law enforcer of the future. I miss him and his jetpack in RC3. Also as I remember RoboCop's 2 design(Kain) if anyone still remember him in the movie RoboCop2, it reminds me of the Eva Units.
