- Motto: "Follow your instincts and your common sense."
The ABC one from the Dredd film was a war droid with no soul. Sure, it could fight but it could only follow its programming. Robocop is a man with a soul and plenty of initiative. As long as he wasn't overpowered while unprepared, Robocop would find a way to win. He beat some ED-209s quite easily and then eliminated Dick Jones. (What a Dick!)
The ABC robot in 2000AD comics (the original robot) was much more versatile because he had something approaching a soul. His name was Hammerstein and he had a lot of war-type adventures with his group the ABC Warriors. He had access to a great deal of extra weaponry. If he was fighting Robocop, he'd win because he's more advanced. He could override Robocop's programming so there wouldn't have to be a physical fight. If Robocop managed to resist that, he'd be blown to pieces by Hammerstein's heavy guns, missiles, etc.
