Back in 2011, the brave citizens of Detroit (along with a bunch of assholes on Kickstarter) raised enough money to erect a giant RoboCop statue somewhere in the motor city. More than two years and a string of “where the heck are we going to put this thing” battles later, the statue is finally close to completion. The 10-foot-tall statue is currently in its foam components stage and should be bronzed in the near future. Once that’s done, Imagination Station, the statue’s makers, will perfect its look and then, hopefully, place it somewhere in the city by late next summer.

Imagination Station posted a series of pics of the statue in progress online over the weekend and, honestly, it’s goddamn majestic. Once bronzed and mounted on some sort of base, the completed work should keep Detroit free from crime for all eternity—or until someone spray-paints it.

Spray paint? This thing is going to get stolen and end up the prize at some frat somewhere.

If only it could fight crime for them.

Where is the gun?

First look at search function.

If you told me that is how the sentinels will look in the new xmen movie, I would believe you.

I've seen all the robocop movies too.

Did. Saw a thread from last year, and decided to make a new one instead of bump.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

So how long until it'll be vandalized?

 

[dyergram]

He's gonna be one bad mother crusher when he's finished.

 

[Satch]

idk why but I expected it to be bigger

 

[Winterfang]

No Hyperbole, but once that Statue is in Detroit. I'm going to go there and take a picture with it, even if I have to buy a ticket to Florida and get to Detroit on Bus.

The old thread had this picture in it.

His proportions are all fucked up.

Which one? I was clearly looking at the wrong one then.

 

[Turk]

Can't wait to visit Detroit to see that statue.

Where is the gun?

I agree. There's many obvious reasons why the statue can't have a gun, but Robo looks pretty naked without it.

They bumped the old thread.

New news new thread, yo.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

You did right by posting a new thread. I hadn't seen this, and the odds of me clicking on that old thread are pretty slim, which is exactly why mods have been pushing to end shit like bumping ancient threads for updates.

This thread already has more replies than that update post had.

 

[triplestation]

that is great

This is old news yo.

Why don't they kickstart a regeneration project?

LOL. New movie is going to be such shit.

This is old news yo.

It was from 13 days ago, and nobody saw it because it was buried in an old thread. Which is exactly why mods have really been pushing the new thread for new news rule lately.

 

[Acorn]

Wait what is that on the right? Please tell me its a cheap Halloween costume

 

[Beerman462]

That's the new Robocop Mass Effect

Shit that is being shoveled out first weekend of February because the studio knows it's going to be garbage and bomb like a mother fucker.

I have an important question

What is up with America building statues of characters from films

There's that Rocky Balboa statue in Philly too

 

[Dai101]

More like stolen to sell at the scrapyard

 

[Anustart]

His proportions are all fucked up.

Don't know why more people aren't mentioning this. He looks completely ridiculous.

That was built for one of the Rocky movies. After filming, Stallone donated it to the city or some such shit.

Yea he's way too fat and short.
He also has no torso

That Rocky statue is awesome ....... fictional character or not Balboa helped put Philly on the map worldwide.

 

[Machine]

The Robocop statute will be stolen and sold for scrap within a few years. Everything in Detroit is stolen and sold for scrap these days.

 

[revolverjgw]

Looks cool, but Detroit needs the real Robocop. This one's just going to end up in some slum lord's den

 

[Square Triangle]

I was JUST thinking about this the other day and wondered if it was actually going to become a reality, then IGN posted an update on it two days ago.

This will surely be stolen by some WSU students in no time.

The location of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution wasn't enough?

I'm willing to bet more Americans know about Rocky than the country's history.
