A direct-to-video action miniseries that trades on 1980s sci-fi noir nostalgia while exploring themes of obsolescence and corporate control through a four-episode crime investigation.

Ten years after the original Robocop, Delta City is city owned and operated by OCP. RoboCop finds himself nearly obsolete and his former partner, John Cable, has returned to Delta City as its new Security Commander. But slowly, new enemies arise, and Murphy and Cable begin an investigation into a mysterious villain known as the Bone Machine.
