History[]

RoboCop vs. The Terminator[]

Targeted by the Resistance[]

Florence Langer, a Resistance soldier, travel to the present day from the Future War to murder Alex Murphy as she had been told by Connor that it was a human mind that turned Skynet from a tool to an "army of murders". During a brief confrontation, the group was attacked by a group of Series 800 terminators. Murphy soon learned that he was a key component of the Skynet program and that his neural network gave Skynet the ability to develop artificial intelligence. Rather than be an agent of destruction, Murphy opted instead to terminate himself. While visiting his grave a final time he is attacked by a modified Infiltrator resembling a child and another that looks like a dog. Murphy is disabled and his program scanned into Skynet.

Future War[]

After 25 years of lurking in the shadows of Skynet's programming, Murphy began an attack upon a Skynet program and took control over an automated production facility during a human attack. Utilizing his new found control, he built himself a modified T-800 combat chassis, and gave himself various weapon upgrades including a facsimile of his Auto 9 which fired particle beams, a shoulder-mounted minigun; the upgraded chassis resembling RoboCop's former self.

Later, he would do the same again, but would construct an entire legions and divisions of EndoCop — Terminators endoskeletons t700s, 800s, 831s,t808s, t820s, t825s, t825vs, t850 and t888s models builts in robocop's armor with particle beam Auto 9s, cobra sniper rifles and an automatic 50 caliber Pauza P50 rifle and Skynet's plasma arsonal. With their new allies, the Resistance launched an attack on a Skynet outpost while Murphy made plans to go back in time and stop Skynet once and for all out of fear he had begun to lose his humanity after years trapped in the mind of Skynet's evil.

Upon the appearance of the strange blob in the present, the people are confused and then terrified as the metal RoboCop tears forth from the mass of flesh and immediately blasts off into space. He finds the earliest incarnation of Skynet, a spy satellite, and destroys it. Disappearing from time, Murphy awakens in his present in Detroit with a feeling of deja vu while on patrol.

RoboCop versus The Terminator (video game)[]

The story, set a few years after RoboCop's creation, involves SAC-NORAD contracting Cyberdyne Systems on building Skynet. Cyberdyne used RoboCop's technology in creating Skynet. When activated, Skynet becomes self-aware and launches a war against mankind. In the future, Skynet sends several Terminators back to the past to cripple the Resistance. After destroying one of the Terminators, RoboCop proceeds to Delta City, where he confronts RoboCain.

After RoboCain was destroyed, RoboCop battles his way to the OCP building, where he defeats all the Terminators. After defeating an ED-209 unit reprogrammed by the Terminators, RoboCop plugs himself into a console. Unbeknownst to him, RoboCop gave Skynet information it can use. This ends up with RoboCop falling into a trap. In the future, RoboCop assembles himself, where he battles in the Terminator-infested future and makes the final effort to destroy Skynet.
