Does anyone know what the stat line for these would be, or would count as? Preferably in 8th edition or earlier.

Thank you.

I would go with something like this:

Robocop
M5 WS4+ BS3+ S4 T4 W3 A1 Ld10 Sv 4+

Pistol: range 18" S3 AP0 Pistol, Assault 3
Fist: S4 Ap0 - crush, roll a 6 to hit and autowound


Upgrade options:
RC1 - Anti materiel Rifle Range 36" S6 AP-1 D3 Heavy 2
RC3 - Jump Pack - M12"
RC3 - Combi Arm - choose one before firing - flamer, Heavy stubber, rocket launcher rng 24" S6 Ap-1 D2 Heavy 1.

I was more of an ED 209 guy.

So... all terrain is dangerous terrain?

Same!

Speaking of, did you see this? The old life size film prop is still in great shape: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dFMJ514lz5w

Cain would be in with the Dark Eldar as they'd have all the Nuke.

If it wasn't the stairs then it was the bloody manhole!

You have twenty seconds to comply

The Dreadnought idea of having a mortally wounded corpse wired up to a big clunky machine is definitely inspired by Cain in Robocop 2. And if you squint a bit those early SM dreadnoughts aren't that far off the Cain-bot design either.

You don't think he would have a BS2+ since he shoots looking away from targets, does nut shots through a hostages' legs, ricochet head shots, and puts like 10 rounds around a guy's head to get them to not smoke?

I am guessing Robocop 2 would just be a sort of lame dreadnought?

You can leave his BS at 3, but make the Auto-9 (Robo's pistol) have Devastating Wounds, Precision, and Sustained 1.

Also Robo could take one hell of a beating/clubbing/shooting.

I would give him Feel No Pain 4+

So the question of BS, and in fact any stat, overlaps with the thread I made about Marines and protagonism confused for skill.

Robocop as the protagonist vs Ropocop as a unit in a game would have different stats. I'm not at all precious about how you want to represent him, so if you want to make him like that go ahead.

I was looking at what he is and has vs what exists in 40k and the skill scale, without protagonism bonus points. 40k uses targeters and targeting computers quite commonly, the dark reapers have highly sophisticated systems and only hit on a 3+ for example.

Brutal, I love it.

You are correct. I defer. Thanks.
