Based on the 1987 movie RoboCop, it's probably one of the more surprising properties to get an animated adaption aimd at kids (only The Toxic Avenger probably beats it in suprising stakes) and it's something I remembered watching quite fondly as a child, so what surprises me most when I look it up that was only 13 episodes produced of the cartoon series (which was the same amount with The Toxic Crusaders).
So obviously the violence as being neutered, nobody gets there arm shot off or ran over after being covered in toxic waste, but what did surprise me is that when he thought Lewis was killed that it seems like he wanted to take revenge (in the killing sort of way).
This episode plot is about Dr. McNamara creating an iron suit that is mean't to be better then RoboCop and gets Lt. Hedgecock who despises RoboCop in the suit and challenge him to prove it's far superiror. Yadda yadda, you can guess who comes out on top.
So RoboCop: The Animated Series is in line with a lot of animated actiony shows of the time period in that from a non bais point of view a lot of them can be samey, still it's an enjoyable trip down memory lane for me.
