This is the new Robocop suit from the upcoming remake of that 80s classic. Lame. This has to be one of the most generic, unoriginal futuristic armors I've ever seen. Overly detailed, all black, full visor. He doesn't look like an unstoppable cyborg. He looks like a villainous footsoldier in a better sci-fi movie.
But you know, both this underwhelming design and the Bayformer-ish look of the new ED-209 has led to an interesting theory I've heard. It says that much like how the original Robocop satirized the hyper-violence and bulky technology look of the 80s, this new Robocop will be satirizing the sanitized, derivatively designed PG-13 sci-fi action movies of today. I don't how much water that holds, but it's an interesting idea.
And the funny thing is, this armor doesn't look as bad when you color it right...
