New Robocop Gets Another Look - This Appears To Be His "Combat Mode" - TOO LATE

[Brendon Connelly]

The script for the new Robocop features several different looks for our lead character, aside from the not-yet-shot, pink-and-juicy human stylings of Joel Kinnaman.

In a draft of the script that was doing the rounds in recent months, Robocop's first suit is scrapped after a focus group deride it for looking like a toy from the 80s. That's not the end of the redesigns, however - he keeps getting tweaked and altered, all the way through the first hour's worth or so. The final version also has transformer-like capabilities, switching between a so-called "social mode" and "combat mode."

I think what we're looking at here is this "combat mode," based on how well armoured he is. I expect some CG effects will show these extra shields moving into position.

That pic was posted to Instagram by Davor Mazumic. Quite how he managed it I do now know, but I am certainly grateful.

Social Mode must be where he friends you on Facebook and even plays Farmville with you.

It's not enough for me to loose all hope yet, but so far i don't like what i see

They are completely missing the mark for why the first one was so great.
I hope this fails. I really do.
Hopefully everyone working on it got paid in advance.

Are there still some "hey now guys, we need to wait and see the movie before we form our opinions" folks lurking about? 'Cause this one? ...I don't think so.

I've never seen the original RoboCop, so this will be new to me!

[WilsonBros]

Hah! He looks like a fucking Nu-Who Cyberman. It he going to march along campily, too...?

I can't wait to not watch this on a double billing with the Red Dawn remake.
