Robocop alpha commando cartoon intro
Synopsis
The series is set in the year 2030, and deals with RoboCop being reactivated after five years offline to assist a federal high-tech group, "Alpha Division" in their vigilance and struggle against DARC (Directorate for Anarchy, Revenge, and Chaos), a highly advanced terrorist organization and other forces of evil whenever that may be, globally or nationally.
The series shared many of the same writers who had contributed to the 1980s animated series, but had even less in common with the movies or television canon that it was based on. RoboCop has numerous gadgets in his body that were never in the film, such as roller skates and a parachute. The show also suffers from major continuity errors. In the first episodes we see RoboCop's son in his memories flashback and he appears to be around 10. We later see his son in the series, to be exactly the same age and even wearing the same clothing, as his memories. The names of Robocop´s wife and son were also changed to Susan and Richie.
The absence of Anne Lewis was never explained. Besides RoboCop himself, Sgt. Reed and Alex J. Murphy are the only characters from the movies in the series. Unlike the movies, and previous TV incarnations, RoboCop never takes off his helmet in Alpha Commando.
Voice cast
The name change for RoboCop's wife and son is explained in episode 10. After Alex Murphy becomes RoboCop, his family was forced to change their identity to keep RoboCop's enemies from locating them.
