I have no idea what that has to do with any of this. You know he wore that suit for a while in not just the comics, but in pretty much every adaptation, right? The Symbiote suit in the comics lacked any detail, other than his eyes and Spider-Symbol.

The point I was trying to make(and I probably should have phrased it a tad better) is that the Spider-Man 3 suit was black with no contrasting color. The giant white symbol the suit bears in the comics is very striking, and helps the blackness stand out. And maybe that was a poor comparison cause the symbiote spider symbol is very...symbolic, and Spidey 3's suit lacked that.

Basically, I'm hoping the actual suit will have some sort of contrasting color to bring out the inherent detail, because otherwise it does look boring.

And the metallic color doesn't necessarily have to be silver, but it really helps convey the "robo" part of Robocop.

He'll probably fight the ED-209 at some point, but, uh...the ED-209 was never a villain, it was just a machine doing what it was told by the actual villain, a corrupt CEO. Robocop never really battled another robot until the second movie

Technically you're right, but come on, ED-209 was a tool used by a villian, and was Robocop's doppleganger of sorts. Plus it was an effects heavy creation that really messed up Robocop in one scene. So if not a villian, perhaps antagonist. Here's hoping whatever new antagonist Robocop faces is as imaginitive and memorable as ED-209.

I'm interested to see if his gun is still holstered in his right leg. Oh and if they bring back the auto-9 or update it.

Why cant people accept change and stop typing in all caps?
The world may never know.

I know for a fact ED-209 is going to be in this.

Yeah, I've seen shots of it and it also looks like crap compared to the original. Not intimidating at all. It better have some kick ass weaponry.

I would mention how Obama brought us change and how that when but lets not get political.

A special message to the douchbags making this movie: "You are making a mistake!"

BTW: Did anyone even get the reference?

SentinelA confirmed as troll.

LOL This is news?

Biggest of all time? No. Not even close.

Battlefield Earth
Plan Nine From Outer Space
Waterworld
Lost in Space
Any sci-fi channel original movie.

That's off the top of my head. This isn't even close to those turkeys.

A really really really REALLY Bad troll, too.

So um, on topic. About the suit, Notice that one hand is bare, while the other isn't. Why would you do that intentionally?

It's probably going to be CGI'd over.

Yep, that was a pretty bad movie. Still not as bad as most Uwe Boll movies - the worst I've seen was House of the dead...

Waterworld
Lost in Space

Funny, but I find those two pretty good popcorn-movies, and they are worth more in my eyes than 90% of anything that was made in the last three-four years.

That was what I was thinking, but you still have to wonder, why go with such a skinny, stealthy look? Why no add a little bit of bulk? It's not that I dont like it, I just think it would look better bulked up a little bit.

Probably because skinny is easier to move around in, any actor who's had to wear a suit of armor for a movie can tell you that.

They should have made him an action figure then

There. Topics are merged. Let this be a lesson to name your threads correctly or you end up annoying the Mods who have to come along and clean up after you. We have enough spambots making messes, we don't need sentients doing the same either.

And quit labeling people trolls. Some of you are just as bad or even worse.

Someone starts criticizing Obama in a thread about a redesign for Robocop, as a way of saying the new movie will be bad. What could that be other than trolling?

Regardless of whether they did or didn't (yes i'm well aware what was posted) it still does NOT give YOU the right to go around giving someone what is essentially a derogatory label, even if said party did turn around and admit to being such.

For all intents and purposes SentinelA SHOULD be given a warning, as per the rules. But if we dished out warnings every time someone danced on the wrong side of the line most of us would probably be banned.

For now, this thread is back on topic. If people have a problem with my Moderating then feel free to pm me and discuss it with me.

You mean the one on that promo OCP webpage? I read on another site that it's just a very early concept design that has since been changed to a much better looking one. Haven't seen any of those new designs, though.

I not crazy about the new robocop suit (as the pics show it) myself. I have my oddball idea about what new Robocop should like? I actually think Robocop should should be either basically like the 80's version (just say the creators were Robotech junkies) or should actually have Robocop look like a normal human being. The human-looking Robocop suit would be camoflague for him among the crowd. All the weapons would be hidden (like the gun in the leg) until needed. Heck any future cyborg might be likely to have polymer- based armor instead of metal anyway, so might as well give Robocop some fake skin to go over the armor, add some clothing, and voila an android disguised as a man.

I don't think the ED-209 mock ups look too bad. Yeah it kinda uses the standard "Bayformer robot" design and reminds me of Metal Gear Rex, but it still haas the chicken leg feet.

What would be fantastic is if they had at least one scene for the new ED-209 that used Go-motion animation, like the original. It does look a little herky jerky but I love it so much more than CGI because it takes a lot of skill to pull it off, and plus they're manipulating something that's actually physically "real".

The irony of stop-motion is that it's a physical object that somehow ends up looking less real than CGI. Look at the original Terminator. The animatronics look really great, but when it showed a full-body shot of the terminator sans-skin, it looked hilariously out of place.

To each their own. Modern CG does blend into films far better than stop-motion ever did I will admit but stop motion has a charm of it's own I can't help but love.
