I think its a sad thing these bots are all becoming cgi. I loved it when it was full scale models, animatronics, men in suits and stop time animation to make these characters live!
2D animator here. The beginning is great. I wish you guys shot from a lower angle. Secondly, however, the walk cycle is horrible. There's no secondary motion to give it a bit of life, like the growl to give it fearsomeness. You make it waddle like a duck. Take much larger strides and bend that ankle. Use an ostrich as a reference. Cheers!
@9leach: No, this is student work. I recommend the real deal film, ROBOCOP (1987) -- great film, great animation! I'm a huge fan of stop-motion. Screw CGI!
very good video Purplemalk, thanks for posting this clip, i wonder if the artist at 3D Blasphemy can make ED209 do a Tapdance & Soft shoe shuffle, what would really impress me is ED209 doing a Breakdance, not only would it really impress me it would give me one hell of a belly laugh.
He's always scarred the shit outta me, Just seems like daleks, life of its own, doesnt respond to human behaviour, and the mechanics are shabby but effective when executed. The whole movement, stance and posture is aggresive, but definately a star in itself
In south africa, riot police played sounds of wild canivors at protesting crouds and found that it demoralized people and made their flee instinct kick in!
Actually, it does because the design for ED is called a "chicken walker", which is basically the two feet bent in the middle to simulate a chicken walk, which brings increased stability to the robot rather than it standing 100% straight. The chicken walker model was also used in Star Wars for the AT-ST designs featured in Return of the Jedi.
The legs of ED209 are built so they can extend during walking because as a chicken walker, it needs the extra length to gain speed. There are also locks because these joints are fluid and these locks must close when stationary so it doesn't tumble about and the turret/guns remain accurate.
Wow, this was great...I always wanted to see what ED would look like if he got a face lift. If they every do a re-issue of Robocop like they did Star Wars ED 209 should be given the CGI treatment, would be very interesting to see! Nice work, do some more PLEASE!!
where were you 25 years ago when Robocop was made? This look 100% better than that stop-motion original.

The arm turrets feature ammo packages and hammer locks which are supposed to revolve and lock into place. Neither happened.
This is why dispite the brilliant detailing, it lacks real authenticity in it's motion.
Sorry if I sound bitchy but my dad was a friend of Craig Davies, the designer.
