So Bandai is leasing the Takatoku molds out or something? I don't understand this bit of news at all.
Just realized that that was old news. So I just got trolled too.
Max Factory probably saw the success of Kaiyodo's Tokusatsu revoltechs. I imagine that the Alien/Aliens xenomorphs were extremely popular, which probably led to MF buying up the Robocop license. I completely believe ED-209 and RoboCain will get produced shortly after Robocop.
That would make an excellent OVA. Persecuted cyborg team hunts rogue fleet harvesting conflict crystals. I can taste the missile circus that would entail.
It was an ok movie. The designs were great, the Daft Punk tracks were great. The story was just not good. All the characters seemed like cardboard cutouts with bad dialogue and some of the CG faces just looked down right inhuman.
Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut is a good choice. Basically, aliens, out of body time travel, World War 2 and perhaps LSD mixed into a strange tale.
