The figure used for this unit is a Star Wars Miniatures figure from the Legacy of the Force set.
Its model number and name are #32 / Galactic Alliance Trooper. (Would likely need a repaint.)

Robocop
Alex Murphy

Cyborg
Unique Hero
Lawman
?
Medium 5

5 Life
Move 4
Range 7
Attack 4
Defence 5

180-210 Points

Prime Directives

Robocop may never attack a Civilian, Lawman, or Industrialist unless the player controlling that figure only controls figures with those classes on the battlefield. When attacking a Criminal, Crime Lord or a figure engaged with any other friendly figure, that figure rolls one fewer defence die.

Auto-9 Special Attack
Range 5 Attack 0+special

When attacking with this Special Attack, RoboCop may attack two additional times and adds two automatic skulls to whatever is rolled.

Bulletproof Prosthesis

When RoboCop is targeted for a non-adjacent attack and 2 or fewer skulls are rolled, you may ignore that attack. When RoboCop is targeted for an adjacent attack and 1 or fewer skulls are rolled, you may ignore that attack.


*****************************

Prime Directives represents.... well, his Prime Directives - he must uphold the law, preserve the public good, and can do nothing against anyone high up in OCP's payroll (where the Industrialist distinction came in... though I admit that wasn't my idea). The bonus vs. Criminals and Crime Lords is fairly obvious, but I extended it to anyone engaged with a figure you control, to get across the 'preserve the public good' aspect - one of the designs I saw in the PDP got that across with a Heroic Duty-esque mechanic, but I can't recall Murphy jumping in front of any bullets - I can, however, remember him shooting down guys who were actively threatening others with extreme precision, and this should help keep him from just being a Criminal counter-draft and get a bit of that theme in. I considered restricting it to opponents engaged with friendly Civilians, Lawmen or Industrialists, but wasn't sure there. Auto-9 SA just represents his weapon and allows him to make a weaker multi-attack as opposed to his normal. Bulletproof Suit is stolen from Batwoman - I know full body prosthesis really isn't a 'suit', but the power is otherwise perfect for him.
Personality I've left blank for now as I'm not really sure. Stoic, maybe? I'd kind of like something to represent him trying to hold onto his last shreds of humanity.

Hmm maybe his bullet proof suit could block all damage until you get a certain amount at once and then it stops working?

Not sure. Armor of any sort is difficult to represent in a non-basic way.

Didn't we come up with an alternative version workshopping Grendel Prime? On my phone, or I'd get it myself. He's in my public thread.

RobertCop? :)

I think it might be interesting to make Auto-9 do an automatic 2 skulls. Makes it seems more "programmed". Then, if you want to roll the dice and do something bigger, you need to go with his normal attack.

Also, I definitely like the one design at a time approach. ;)

Unless you snuck an edit in, he’s still listed as Grendel-Prime.

I love the programmed fire auto skull concept.
