Due to time constraints/quality issues, I'll be uploading the full eps on MegaUpload and only posting -10 min previews.
Two shady execs in charge of OCP's new welfare program, being tested in Delta City before going nationwide, are keeping people from getting out of the system and using sophisticated (and damaging) brainwashing to get their way and keep their bank accounts full. When Murphy discovers underhanded loopholes have kept his wife and child from receiving his benefits, and been keeping them in the welfare program, he must try to find a way around the system and get his family help while the two execs conspire with a felonious explosives expert to settle the situation once and for all.
The character of Martin is played by Geraint Wyn Davies, who played the villain Kaydick in the 2000 mini-series RoboCop Prime Directives.
The RoboCop helmet is much too large to fit over the bulky makeup. In the first film this was cheated by only showing the top of the helmet lifting up, then panning down to the exposed face and artificial skull. The Series was able to show the helmet coming off with a simple perspective trick: they used a half helmet with no backside. The neck suddenly becoming exposed, however, is still a problem that was never solved in the films.
Stunt double Ken Quinn is in the RoboSuit walking through the halls of WebCare. He even gets a close-up before using the thermographic vision and while firing the Auto-9. Additional shots show him walking amongst the flames in the finale.
25:12, the first of only three of Robo's signature gun twirls in the show.
One of two major entering/exiting a car cheats in the series at 29:45. Richard Eden approaches the car, offscreen we hear the car door opening and closing, then we pan over to Ken Quinn in the seat of the RoboCruiser.
Robo's Com-Link is shown in use for the first time, it'll pop up again later.
Robo's data spike (I prefer Terminal Strip) is a separate prop from the suit. It consists of a hard fiberglass hand with articulated fingers attached to a long rod. A puppeteer holds it offscreen and activates it on cue, pulling the fingers down into a closed fist before the strip ejects, which flips up the knuckle plate. The same design was used in the films, but The Series also utilized a glove with the spike attached, so that Eden could use it in full body shots.
39:02, RoboParkinson's.
I'll be uploading the entire series as I find time, have fun and Stay Out Of Trouble.
i love robocop but none of these robocops are as good as peter weller.

At least this show fixed the whole continuity error from the movie. You know the one I'm talking about, the whole "hey I shall take off my helmet and... VOILA! No more black jaw guard!"
