Hey all, it's been a minute, but I had to see how everyone here was reacting to the big news... I'm a little relieved to see the feelings are mostly in line with mine, I just don't see this turning out well... There've been arguments in the past about how slow RoboCop actually is, but I just can't fathom him being interesting or fun to play in an MK game. I can imagine the Joel Kinnaman Robo working a lot better, but of course, nobody would be excited for that.
Regarding the design: The trailer footage is NOT flipped, you can see "OCP POLICE" engraved on his leg. I just assume it's part of the upgrades he received along with that flamethrower and shield. And the amount of cheating they needed to do to make the model do all the required MK motions is hilarious.
And Weller's one line here is unfortunate... There'll be plenty more dialogue from him in this game, so I'm hoping he's not this bad all the way through, but I almost wish they'd gotten a soundalike.
Anywho, hope everyone's well and staying safe.

Welcome back Aberration! 
They will no doubt take a lot of liberties. Give Robo plenty of gadgets and upgrades.
Watching gameplay of the already released Terminator and he is jump kicking and throwing people around like every other character in Mortal Kombat. Robo will be much the same I'm assuming.

| Archive : | I'm curious if the top of Robos legs will actually fold like he is wearing pants or if this is the design. It's pretty odd.

So they have him a flamethrower, yet it's not the Gunarm...sad 
I'd give it a try, but I'm honestly not into MK anymore...haven't been for years. While I did enjoy MK9 to some degree, I barely touch the series nowadays (always been more of a Street Fighter II/III kid) and even when I do, it's usually MK1 or UMK3.
That being said, my best friend bought the Switch version of 11, I played it for a bit and I kinda hated it, so I doubt I'll cough up the dough for the Robo DLC...

The sprite looks like it clips on itself a lot, especially in that flamethrower pose with the left arm. Also the feet look too small and bulky. And the top of his legs bending? Seriously? I imagine he will jump and move around the screen as fast as the other characters.

This isn't what I had in mind when I saw Robo in a MK game...
It just doesn't feel right.
MK is a fighting game, and Robocop is a law enforcement unit... that uses guns!
I guess the only good games with robo are the 2D side scroll games.
Will MK have a story for guest characters? or are they just cannon fodder?

There's the main story mode that's the canonical progression of the timeline and has fully rendered cutscenes, guest characters are not a part of that.
Outside of that, all characters get a tiny bit of story through their profile and their arcade ending (pretty much how it's been since the start of the series). For example, here's Terminator's ending: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLekMAlDc-Y

I've been playing a lot of Mortal Kombat 11. Love the NRS games. But yeah, they have some issues.
Freddy was given duel hand glove claws because of animation issues. So I imagine its the same here.
Still surprised this is happening. I mean Robocop doesn't have costumes. I guess you could play it like: Default, Robocop 1 Damage, Robocop 2 Damage, Robocop in a muscle vest.
Also Robocop having stuff to customise is gonna be strange. I guess this is where the Flamethrower and Riot shield come in. I guess you'll be able to customise his gun as well.
Love the Riot Shield idea though.
But where this is gonna shine is in the Intros, Victory poses and Fatalities. Because every guest has had amazing animations that really enhance their appearance. Watch the Spawn, Terminator and Joker stuff they have and you'll see.
here's Termi: https://youtu.be/PCsS3hDfgy0?t=192
I didn't think they were gonna do this, mostly because it would have been sololrandom they had Aliens and Predators in the last game, they aint gonna put Robocop in this...wait what?
Also probably doesn't surprise you to know but Ed Boon likes the first Robocop movie and I think he said the Robocop 2 lacked "soul".

And we got some Fatality teases. |
Was about to post that myself because, HOLY SHIT! Totally bitchin'!
Gotta say that alternate skin were turning me off big time and inaddition with the prior stuff, only added to the doubt of this being worth a damn, but this here has redeemed that and then some!
Robo moves well but not super fast, the shield and other 'new' bits aren't all that forced-feeling, there's use of the RoboVision, Weller's sounds a good bit better here, there's use of the spike and Cobra Gun, and definite HELL F'N YEAH! for the Eddy appearance.
Kinda bummed about not having that genuine and iconic Auto-9 sound, but the rest, again, I dig.

I'm pleasantly surprised with how cool it all looks. The fatalities are extremely over the top and gory and Robo shooting his opponent in the balls was a nice touch.
It's too bad they didn't deem RoboCop3 worthy, but i can understand if they wanted to have the Weller movie Robo only.

The MK3 skin is cute, although I'm curious if this makes MK fans even madder that Sektor and Cyrax aren't playable.
Fatalities look good, but that was never a concern. Kinda messed up that Murphy recreates his own death in one of them 
Since they did scan Weller's face, I'm guessing that means we will have a helmetless option, which was the only cosmetic I was hoping for.
Archive, I was thinking about Robo3 too when he did the air dash with his new butt-jets, I would've preferred the old jetpack there, even if it's for less than a second.
