Murphy's face.

[RoboTrap]

It's been mentioned on the DVDs that the logic of keeping Murphy's face was so that the subconscious part of the human brain operating the system (which would always instinctively know it was human) wouldn't go insane upon seeing a non-human face in the mirror. Plus, it makes Robo easier to relate to, not just as an audience member, but as a good 'ol citizen of Old Detroit.

Well if they completely blanked out its memory how would it subconsciously remember it was even once human? He was product, a machine nothing more, least that was idea.

This is why I wish there was chat. Because what I have to say is too much to type all at once here. Actually I don't even know that I could convey myself properly. But main thing is that if they had technology to use a human brain to run a humanoid robot and sustain the brain. God I can't even wrap my mind around it. Why wouldn't they just use a complete machine like a terminator? See here I go, gotta stop now. The whole brain to control this thing is just too outlandish. Can't stop........ OK stopping.

That was the entire purpose of ED-209. It is not only to provide an obstacle for Robo to overcome later on, or an opportunity for Morton to swing in and get his project fast tracked.

It showed that a purely mechanical solution lacked even the slightest nuance necessary to do its job. ED didn't hear the gun drop, so he opened fire. ED clearly has visual sensors (or at the very least, a sonar-type system for object and motion detection) that should have picked up Kinney disarming himself, but that small inconsistency between its sensors resulted in ED shooting first and asking questions later.

A cyborg offered all of the physical, practical and psychological advantages of a mechanical officer, but with the judgment and gut instinct of a flesh and blood man, all kept in check with the Prime Directives to keep him from bending the rules too much.

Police cars were big, blocky, ugly things when RoboCop was made. When the Crown Vic went back into production (and subsequently became the de facto police vehicle) it took many of its styling cues from the Taurus.

At least they never used the car they built specifically for Robo... that thing was a friggin' joke!

Anybody know how much Robo is supposed to weigh. It's just like in terminator, this real heavy machine gets in and out of a car, or on a motorcycle, and the suspension doesn't sag or lean anymore than if a normal person was getting into or onto them.

Right question Demise ! ( I m here really long time but really dont know the answer )

But of the things we had chance to see in films and series .. I think he is much more lighter then Terminator !

In the R1 we can to see Lewis what did not have problem help him get into the car when he was running from Jones .

In Robocop 2,3 he was carried by a few persons . In R3 it was three guys oh also Niko managed to carry his leg

Robocop the series it managed also two men ..

well so the summary .. he is probably lighter than Terminator
I was reading somewhere it is 200kg . so how it is ? knows someone ?

200Kg (440Lbs) is actually fairly heavy. I'd say he's supposed to be lighter than that, though maybe not by much. I wouldn't say he's lighter than the Terminator, as the Terminator is meant to be much closer to human weight, but I would think RoboCop really ain't as heavy as some might think.

That figure sounds like it's off the breakdown picture of RoboCop that we've seen before, though I thought it said 200 Lbs. I don't remember, and I can't seem to find that picture right now.

In any case, that might be worth starting another topic for, actually. I thought there was one like that somewhere but there doesn't seem to be.

PD said he weighed about 500 pounds, but really, that's far too heavy to be able to drive around in the standard police cars. I think it seems feasible for Robo to be between 200 and 300 pounds, considering the higher level of robotics technology in the films and Robo's armored skin.

Honda's ASIMO has some specs online, including its prototypes...

In 1996, ASIMO weighed in at 463 pounds (210kg) at a height of 6 feet (183cm).

In '97, ASIMO stood 5'4" (163cm) and weighed 287lbs (130kg).

Circa 2000, ASIMO was four feet tall (122cm) and weighed 115lbs (52kg).

ASIMO is now 4'3" (130cm) and weighs 119lbs (54kg).
