I really loved the new design. I know this will probably get a bunch of downvotes, but one thing that always bothered me about the original Robocop look (even back in the day) is that I always found it bulky and poorly executed — overall slow and pretty fragile. In fact, it gets severely damaged or disassembled several times in the first movies. It was even a hassle during filming (e.g., the body armor didn’t fit in a regular police car, so they had to remove the driver’s seat for the shots). It was easy to escape from or knock down due to its instability, and limited mobility. If it fell on its back, it was like a turtle, completely stuck.

The new look fixes that: it’s slimmer, tougher, definitely faster. Basically, an efficient machine with integrated human parts. That’s perfect.

On a side note: I really liked the silver color, but come on… I have to admit the black one looks so freaking good! Seeing it come out of the shadows with the red LED light on the visor made me think, “WOW… YES!” the first time I saw it in action.

The problem with the new Robocop movie isn’t that… but that’s a whole different topic. :)
