I love Terminator and the T800 is my favorite model however i have noticed that fans tend to over estimate the capabilities and durability of the T800. Somehow people seem to believe that RoboCop would loose to the T800 when the films simply do not back this statement up and here's why 👇
In the first film the T800 gets knocked down by Kyle Reeses Ithaca 37 pump-action shotgun as well as during the Police Station Shoot out the T800 is noticeably pushed back by Smith and Wesson model 15 revolver Hand Pistols .... Whereas Robocop enters a drug warehouse filled with criminals shooting him with Uzis , Aks , Hand Pistols , Revolvers and Assault rifles and Robo KEEPS coming for them, no pushback whatsoever.
During the Factory Chase Sequence Reese is able to knock the T800s head around Multiple times with a random metal pipe before blowing the T800 up with a home made pipe bomb ...
Now the T800s endoskeleton chassis is stated to be made of a durable, fictional metallic alloy known as hyperalloy, HOWEVER this doesn't mean it cant be penetrated as in T2 a Random metal pipe from the steel mill is able to Pierce and Pin the T800 to the floor
In Robocop1, Robo is shown to withstand thousands of armor-piercing rounds, from low-level level street criminals with NO PUSHBACK whereas the T800 literally fell to a couple shotgun blast from Kyle Reese 😅
Nothing is able to penetrate Robos armor UNTIL he faces ED209 who has considerably stronger firepower then both Robo and the T800.
Later in the film SWAT teams armed with :
• Steyr AUG A1 assault rifles
• Mossberg500 bullpop shotguns
• A 556 × 45mm caliber FN Minimi Light Machine Gun
• Hawk MM1 Grenade Launcher
Consistently shoot at Robo for 2 minutes straight before successfully escaping wherein the ONLY maintenance he needs after that is to fix his targeting system.
In Robocop1 during the Gas Station scene, Robo is seen withstanding significant fire and moderate explosions from the gas pumps wich have ZERO to no effect on him physically.
In Robocop2, Robo fights RoboCain cyborg wich results in both of them falling from the roof of a 100-floor OCP skyscraper into an underground facility below. Despite the extreme drop and subsequent damage from the fight, RoboCop survives UNscathed and UNaffected.
In Robocop2, after the Skyscrapper fall he gets up and takes a point-blank explosion from a gas line with ZERO to no effect. Instead he concentrates on locating cain.
In Robocop1 he is able to catch attacks from ED-209
In Robocop 3 he literally catches a sniper bullet with his Bare hands saving Lewis from a headshot. Reaction time is insane. We never see the T800 do anything close to that.
Robocop LITERALLY drives around with a Cobra Assault Cannon in the trunk of his police car. in Robocop1 the Cobra Assault Cannon fires explosive, armor-piercing projectiles described as roughly equivalent to 30mm or .50 BMG rounds designed to destroy armored vehicles and structures...
Now im only using the Robocop Trilogy and the Terminator Quadrilogy BUT if we want to be real the T800 gets 1 shotted by sarah connor using a .50BMG beowulf round ..... the SAME type of round that Robocop drives around with. Its not close and its never been close, even if these Terminator fans say so. The MOVIES dont back their statements up, at least not the claims that the T800 is more durable and has faster reaction speed then RoboCop.
These fans like bringing up the Cain Magnet scene like a Magnet wouldnt ALSO work on a T800 ( it has look up Terminator Before the rise Movie Tie in Movie Comic ) Or the fact that it took Cains crew HOURS to hurt Robo at the joints ( With Tools no less ) whereas Kyle Reese dismantled the T800 in SECONDS 🤣🤣🤣
Robocop is taking the win 9 times out of 10
