Missy Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Place: New Detroit Time: 1993 [roughly two years before the events of T2] The Players: Alex Murphy was a dedicated, hardworking Detroit police officer until he attempted to apprehend Clarence Boddicker and his gang. Quite literally shot to pieces, Murphy was left for dead on the floor of a scummy warehouse. Much thanks to his partner, the fallen officer was rushed to a hospital, but it was too late: Alex Murphy was no more. However, Omni Consumer Products (OCP) needed a guinea pig for their RoboCop project, and found the deceased officer to be the perfect test subject. Resurrected as a nearly indestructible cyborg, Murphy continues to fight for law and order while struggling to regain the humanity he once took for granted. Mankind was doomed the day Cyberdyne developed the artificially intelligent Skynet system. It wasn't long after its activation that the defense system became self-aware and decided to eliminate mankind -- which it perceived as a threat. Despite the nuclear holocaust, mankind survived and, thanks to John Connor, has rallied together to fight the machines. Sensing its own demise, Skynet sent a lone cyborg (T800) into the past to eliminate Connor before he was ever born. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until its targets are dead. Set-Up: Believing OCP to be in partnership with Cyberdyne, Sarah ventures to New Detroit to destroy one of their laboratories. However, she is quickly captured by local authorities and (after hearing her story about an impending nuclear holocaust and futuristic cyborg assassins) is remanded to a mental health facility. The eight year old John, on the other hand, is placed into foster care. Despite the failure of the previous T800, Skynet secretly sends a duplicate model to 1993. With the human resistance oblivious to this fact, no one is sent back to protect the young boy. Having found clothes and acclimated himself to his surroundings, the single-minded T800 breaks into a gun shop and steals several high-powered weapons and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. Alerted to the break-in by a silent alarm, two squad cars quickly arrive on the scene, but the four officers are no match for the futuristic killing machine. Just as the T800 climbs into one of the squad cars, a third cop car arrives. The door opens slowly, and, with his heavy foot thumping loudly on the pavement, out climbs RoboCop. He takes one look at the fallen officers before drawing his gun on the square-jawed killer. With a slight robotic hint to his voice, RoboCop booms, "Dead or alive, you're coming with me!" [How does this end...?] Note: This battle was presented once before, but ended in a draw. Hopefully we will have a clear winner this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Marv Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Now having acquired a method of transportation, the T800, well aware of his design superiority to Robocop, drives away. Robocop, furious, chases the T800 down, and disables his vehicle on a lonely stretch of highway miles outside of Detroit. His vehicle now disabled, the T800 must now take Robocop's. Robocop stops and exits his vehicle, expecting the local authorities to arrive any time now, and brandishes his weapon at a sorely unimpressed T800. Knowing that his guns are more or less useless, and the use of anything heavy enough to reasonably affect Robocop will probably disable the vehicle behind him as well, the T800 merely walks forward, taking the shots from Robocop's pistol. Robocop quickly ditches the pistols and the two come to blows. The T800 simply shoves Robocop, aside, but the cyborg tackles him before he can commandeer the vehicle. As the two brawl, the T800 gains the upper hand, and strips Robocop of his arms, allowing him to keep living for the sake of future machines, but rendering him completely useless in stopping him for now. The T800 speeds off just as the locals arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Logan Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Using the capabilities of his visor/OS, Robo finds a point of weakness in T800's seemingly indestructable frame. T800 is of course, more advanced technology, so it catches on to Murphy's plan, and attempts to stop him from putting it in to action. He's not successful because of the one thing that Murphy has over the robot. Common sense. The robot is completely logical, logical to a fault, and Robo takes advantage of it. Robocop=win.

Missy Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 The robot is completely logical, logical to a fault, and Robo takes advantage of it. ummm.... how? Yeah, the T800 isn't logical. It's single-minded. Logan: If you think RoboCop takes it, why is he without votes...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's single-minded. Logan: If you think RoboCop takes it, why is he without votes...? Single minded, logical to a fault, Robo still uses his human cunning and instincts that T800 has none of, to find a way around the advanced robot. Yoda: Oops.

Yarrik Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Robocop has been able to defeat previous single-minded, robotic threats developed by CyberDyne that have been deemed unstoppable. They first unload all of their ammunition on each other, before being forced into hand to hand combat. Despite the advanced technology of the T-800, Robocop improvises and finds unorthodox ways to disable the Terminator long enough to tear it's head. The T-800 is never able to eliminate John Connor, and the T-800 series is deemed incapable of carrying out the mission by Skynet. The Mission to eliminate John Connor is given to the T-1000 Series, a far more advanced Series of robots. The Timeline remains unchanged, allowing the events in Terminator 2 to take place.

S-T Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Robocop is a cyborg, and needs the human host body to continue to function. Terminator shoots Robocop in the mouth, takes off Robocop's mask, and finishes him off. A quirk in the space-time continuum opens a wormhole that sends the T-800 back to the exact moment where an asteroid strikes and kills the dinosaurs. T-800 is vaporized. Timeline remains unchanged.
