This brings back memories. RoboCop vs Terminator was so awesome. Better than either of the RoboCop or Terminator movies that have come out lately.

Plot: Skynet only becomes sentient because RoboCop got plugged into the system and it bootstrapped its consciousness off of his. To that end it sends terminators back to ensure that happens. RoboCop wrecks the T-800 so Skynet sends more advanced terminators through and eventually rips off RoboCops head and plugs it in. Cue the global extermination of humanity. And Alex Murphy has to watch it all. He spends decades powerless and trying to hack Skynet. He does and Skynet faces a war with itself, essentially, but with creativity. RoboCop wins, time travel shenanigans ensue, happy ending.

I had this on my shelf from 8th grade til I was about 25 when it finally got too unstable to stand up. Now I feel old again.
