It was uploaded to Flickr under a Creative Commons license, and is currently being used on the Wikipedia page for the 1987 film (RoboCop).  As it appears to be a faithful recreation of the character, might it be an acceptable replacement for one of the non-free stills on this page? Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 20:46, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Is robocop still actually Murphy? I don't get whether it is still Murphy or if robocop is a completely different person? In short, does robocop have Murphys memorys and personality?81.153.53.63 (talk) 13:03, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would guess yes and no. If RoboCop having Murphy's memorys means that they are the same person, then yes, because he lost all of that when he died. But still RoboCop is not same Alex Murphy who had a wife, son, home and past. In the end of the movie RoboCop asks Lewis what happened to Murphy's family. Some of the viewers may think that he's like a melodramatic circus monkey who talks about himself as a third person. But I see that he's not talking about himself, he's talking about Murphy.  -- 88.112.221.171 (talk) 11:10, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually that's the very question the first movie is about. I think the film doesn't give an outright answer. 81.182.236.100 (talk) 02:50, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm a bit at odds with this portion under Perception: As seen in RoboCop 2, RoboCop's programming prevents him from targeting children, which allowed Hob to shoot RoboCop and escape the Nuke drug lab.  I'm not convinced that it was his programming that stopped him, but more the shock of not only seeing such a young boy in the Nuke lab, but also the possibility that the boy was a co-conspirator of Cain's and being reminded of his own son.

message: This is speculation, but I think it adds greater depth to the movie's storytelling to have it ambiguous that Robo either thinks he is Alex J. Murphy resurrected or that he took on Murphy's identity to cope with his new reality.
It seems to have been left itentionally ambiguous at the end of RoboCop. Notice that Robo Never refers to himself or is refered to as Officer Alex James Murphy. It's just Murphy. The character even says that Alex Murphy is dead in Rogue City. A line also said in Robocop before the cyborg regains his humanity. There is a scene in the game where Robo sees himself in a reflection as fully human. So we don't know if Robocop is Alex Murphy because Robo doesn't know either.
I just think it's a nice detail. Cyborg of Theseus kind of situation.
I suggest editing the summary paragraph to reflect this ambiguity rather than flat out saying he is Robocop. 2804:14D:728D:8006:690D:5B7B:B6EC:6E29 (talk) 20:01, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
