Detroit Police Department
Officer Michael "Mike" Briggs
A Detroit police officer who is introduced as having gone missing after pursuing a lead on a mysterious case. Robocop is eventually drawn into the search to locate him.
- All for Nothing: Robocop spends the first few missions of the game searching for him, being increasingly drawn into the search. His body is discovered long after the fact in a freezer in the abandoned Steel Mill, as he was caught and killed just before the events of the game began proper.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: While it isn't outright shown, the game more-or-less has the beaten and bloodied Briggs get goaded by Spike and the rest of the Street Vultures, who (along with Wendell) move him to the quarry in the abandoned Steel Mill and set him loose before hunting him down and killing him.
- Due to the Dead: Robocop and Cecil hang up his photo on the memorial wall in DPD Headquarters after his death.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: He went off-book to pursue a lead regarding a major case... and ended up being captured and killed, leaving his wife and son behind.
- Pet the Dog: His whole relationship with Pickles was this as they had a genuine friendship despite Pickles being a Nuke junkie who steals to get money for more Nuke. Before his death, he attempted to get Pickles to turn his life around and when searching Briggs' apartment an application form for a rehab program can be found with Pickles' real name on it.
- Posthumous Character: He's dead by the time the events of the game begin, having been captured and killed by the Street Vultures after journeying into their territory.
- Walking Spoiler: His fate runs headlong into this.
Ulysses Washington
- Ambiguously Related: It is unknown if he is a relative of Bertha Washington from Robocop 3 or that it’s just a coincidence that they share the same surname.
- Butt-Monkey: Almost no one at the precinct likes Ulysses, as Becker only hired him as his mole to watch over the department and Murphy; some of Washington's detractors call him a rat and send him on wild goose chases to mess with him. It takes a while, but he does eventually earn their respect.
- Dislikes the New Guy: Is subject to this, as he's unwittingly wandered into a power struggle between OCP and the DPD. Robocop can either enforce this perception or tell the officers to stop their hazing.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Becomes a police officer only after several violent encounters with armed thugs, including the Mayorial Riots, if Robocop trains him. This includes being shot in the arm at one point.
- Heroism Equals Job Qualification: Ulysses is hired on the spot by Becker despite strongly being implied to not having attended the police academy or having any training whatsoever. He gets by purely on whatever natural talent he has and what he's absorbed from his family (as well as Robocop's help).
- I Coulda Been a Contender!: In his bad ending, he becomes an office drone who ends up getting arrested after assaulting an officer for wearing his former badge out of jealousy.
- Malicious Misnaming: Instead of his real name, Ulysses, Becker keeps calling him by a variety of other famous Greek names like Oedipus or Hercules, although considering how far beneath himself Becker sees Washington, it's a bit unclear if he does it out of actual malice or simply because he doesn't give enough of a shit to memorize the boy's name.
- The Mole: Becker expressly hires him to be this, even indicating as much to Robo's face. Ulysses more-or-less drops this attitude after only a couple missions, but still finds himself subjected to a large amount of hazing and distrust.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: With Max dead and OCP crumbling, he finds his contract to work at the DPD terminated, despite having been instrumental in helping with the crisis. If you've supported him through the game, Robocop encourages him to re-apply a 21st time, with his endorsement. The end game newscast shows he did get the job back. If Robocop doesn't do this, he becomes a jaded OCP executive..
- A Real Man Is a Killer: Only starts to get respect at the DPD when he's been involved in violent confrontations with criminals.
- Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: He'll turn on Max when he sends the UEDs to attack Robocop, looking up their weaknesses.
- Sidekick: Can become one of these to Robocop for a number of missions if Alex Murphy chooses to train him in proper police work.
- This Is Gonna Suck: Realizes this when Robocop just casually decides to break the rules and go into off-limits territory within minutes of his being hired to monitor him.
- Took a Level in Badass: It's mentioned that when applying to be a police officer he passed all the written exams with flying colors but managed to fail every single physical test. With Robocop's guidance he can manage to hold his own in several firefights, including managing to kill 3 armed thugs by himself in his first shootout.
- You Have Failed Me: The moment Becker realizes that Ulysses is giving intel to Robo regarding the UED troops, he immediately plans to have the junior officer fired, though he doesn't get to enact his plan before the endgame.
Officer Kurtz
A cop near retirement. He is also Officer O'Neal's partner.
- Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: A Downplayed Trope example as both he and his partner keep foisting their murder investigations off on Murphy.
- Last-Name Basis: As standard for all cops in this franchise, the closest we get is in the Police Database in Rogue City which reveals his first name starts with S.
- Remember the New Guy?: Seems to have been on the force for sometime now, yet Rogue City is the only time we have seen him.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Like his partner, Kurtz wants out of the DPD and is seeking early retirement. Sadly, he finds out his wife's cancer requires him to continue on as it won't otherwise be covered by their insurance.
- Those Two Guys: O'Neal and Kurtz show up in numerous questlines or just off to the side, commenting on various events.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Loves burgers from the restaurant Holy Cow, his partner O'Neal has to stop him from eating more than he should.
- Whatever Happened to the Mouse?: Since the game is his first appearance, it doesn't explain where he was during Robocop 3 since he wasn't seen there.
- Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: Kutz and O'Neal more or less just pass their jobs off to Robocop, in part because they're dangerous and in part because he's better at crime solving. Both times, Alex Murphy just lets them take the credit.
Officer O'Neal
Officer Kurtz' partner.
- Action Girl: One of the few women in the police department.
- Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: A Downplayed Trope example as both she and her partner keep foisting their murder investigations off on Murphy.
- Last-Name Basis: As standard for all cops in this franchise, the closest we get is in the Police Database in Rogue City which reveals her first name starts with J.
- Remember the New Guy?: Just like Kurtz, Rogue City is the only time we have seen her.
- Those Two Guys: O'Neal and Kurtz show up in numerous questlines or just off to the side, commenting on various events.
- Whatever Happened to the Mouse?: Since the game is her first appearance, it doesn't explain where she was during Robocop 3 since she wasn't seen there.
- Wins by Doing Absolutely Nothing: Kutz and O'Neal more or less just pass their jobs off to Robocop, in part because they're dangerous and in part because he's better at crime solving. Both times, Alex Murphy just lets them take the credit.
Officer Jack Kowalsky
A recently transferred cop.
- Manly Tears: When Lewis gets put in a coma, he can be found crying in a corner of the police station lobby.
- Pointless Band-Aid: Can be identified by the band-aid on his nose.
- Remember the New Guy?: Sort of, when first trying to find him to sign Lewis' get well card, Robocop has to scan several officers faces and compare them in the police database to identify him, which is a little weird since you can meet him on the streets of Detroit for a side mission before that.
- Whatever Happened to the Mouse?: Since the game is his first appearance, it doesn't explain where he was during Robocop 3 since he wasn't seen there.
Lt. Robbins
The most senior cop on sight at the first mission of the game.
- The Cavalry Arrives Late: Is ordered to wait for the SWAT Team before storming the Channel 9 building. Robocop and Lewis decide that the two of them are enough and go in anyway, clearing the building before SWAT arrives.
- Whatever Happened to the Mouse?: Appears in the first level of the game ordered to wait for reinforcements and doesn't show up afterwards.
Officer Keyes
A cop who is present during Robocop's raid on the Street Vultures territory.
- Red Shirt: He hardly has any characterization and his sole purpose is to get gunned down by a malfunctioning ED-209. There is no further mention of him after that, unlike Briggs.
- Too Dumb to Live: Gets gunned by the malfunctioning ED-209 by trying to order it to stand down instead of running away or seeking cover when it shows no indication of listening to his commands.
Officer Howard
A cop who Soot abducts and kills on live tv in the intro of the game.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Soot pumps him full of Nuke, killing him through overdose.
- No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Made a drug bust that cost the Torch Heads a lot of money. They abduct and kill him on live tv as revenge.
OCP
Max Becker
An incredibly obnoxious corporate executive that oversees Security Concepts.
- Ain't Too Proud to Beg: As RoboCop 2 is holding him up by his neck, he looks over to Murphy, who just arrived to stop the rampaging machine, with a pleading look and calls him his "number one guy," clearly trying to appeal to him to get him to save his ass.
- Bad Boss: He hires Ulysses but can't remember his name, calling him Achilles, Odysseus, and Oedipus at various points.
- Composite Character: He's an amalgamation of Bob Morton and Dick Jones. He serves a similar role to Morton as Robocop's overseer as well as his sleazy nature while also having Jones' role of antagonist and dedication to pushing a crappy product.
- Did Not Think This Through: Max is unprepared for Detroit descending into chaos once he fires the DPD and his control for the UEDs is stolen.
- Dirty Coward: Immediately flees any sign of danger. It doesn't save him from the Old Man in Robocop 2's body.
- Easily Forgiven: He lures Robocop into an ambush so he can demonstrate his UEDs to John Mills, fully expecting them to destroy Robocop. After Robocop destroys the UEDs and later deduces that Becker isn't Antonowsky's inside man, Robo goes back to business as usual with Becker and lets the fact he just tried to kill him slide.
- The Evils of Free Will:
- Max Becker believes the primary weakness of Robocop is his human half and that he can resist orders. It's why he decides to destroy him with his UEDs.
- Later he indicates Robocop's chronic insubordination is what drives him to seek a replacement.
- Hate Sink: Max Becker just spends every second on the screen insulting Robocop, demanding the police cut costs by saving less people, and threatening the people around him. Later, he attempts to destroy Robocop just for being too human.
- Hookers and Blow: Celebrates his ascension to acting CEO by recruiting six prostitutes to celebrate with.
- Karmic Death: Is killed by the Old Man in Robocop 2's body for usurping his position.
- Jerkass: Virtually everything that Max says or does is insulting to someone.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Becker is an absolute slimeball who talks down to everyone, and considers scrapping Robocop. But he is right in that OCP is wasting money on its many projects like Delta City.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Max manages to show absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever, even when he's revealed NOT to be the villain.
- Last Disrespects: The OCP delegation snubbed his funeral, claiming that they had to attend a "rescheduled business meeting". As a result, it's a Lonely Funeral with the only attendant being "Funeral Bob", a man famous in Detroit for attending as many funeerals as possible.
- Lonely Funeral: The only person attending his funeral is Funeral Bob, a guy who tries to attend as many funerals as possible.
- Pet the Dog: His nicest moment throughout the entire game was commending Ulysses Washington's persistence in applying for the Detroit PD and recognizing that he's both capable and got high marks, and thus is an ideal candidate for police work in almost every way except for some of the physical requirements; not that it stops him from using Ulysses' desperation to follow in his father and grandfather's footsteps by joining the police to turn him into The Mole on Murphy in exchange for getting him on the force, and slating him for dismissal from the force when Ulysses helps Robocop with destroying the UEDs.
- Red Herring: Once it's revealed that Wendell Antonowsky has funding from OCP, he comes under suspicion of being the one behind him and his crimes, and the string of body-and-brain thefts is implied to be for his UED project. As it turns out, the Old Man himself was the one financing Antonowsky and Project Afterlife, and the UEDs are entirely robotic.
- Smug Snake: Max is incredibly overconfident about his UEDs and ability to handle a crisis despite being woefully unprepared for every single thing that goes wrong with him.
- Spanner in the Works: When he takes over as acting CEO of OCP, he orders needlessly expensive projects such as Delta City and Afterlife to be shut down. This ends up causing Wendell's downfall, as he's no longer able to pay off his mercenary army without his funding from the Afterlife project.
- Tyrant Takes the Helm: Becomes Acting CEO of OCP after the Old Man "dies." He immediately fires the Detroit PD and activates his robot army despite it being untested.
- 0% Approval Rating: It becomes abundantly clear that no one likes Max Becker, the bullish OCP executive who takes the reins of OCP in the final act. The rank-and-file DPD officers in particular quickly catch on that Becker is making their jobs more difficult. In the final Montage, his memorial service is only attended by a single person — Funeral Bob, an influencer who makes an in-universe Running Gag of attending such functions and earns his 1000th attendance, and a spot on Mediabreak, for the fact.
Morgan
The main OCP engineer that helps maintain Robocop in the police station in this game.
- Hidden Depths: According to himself, he was a car mechanic before working for OCP.
Maverick
Another OCP engineer that helps maintain Robocop in the police station in this game.
Weaver
A female OCP engineer that helps maintain Robocop in the police station in this game.
- Names The Same: Not to be confused with Rosa Weaver, the citizen in one of the epilogues.
John Mills
OCP’s Mayoral candidate and Mayor Kuzak’s opponent in the elections.
- All for Nothing: Endorsing him for Mayor and supporting his campaign to get his rights back doesn't help as Mills resigns immediately after taking office.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: John Mills presents himself as affable and supportive with a deep respect for Robocop, even making granting Murphy legal personhood one of the key points of his campaign. This contrasts sharply with Mayor Kuzak, who's pretty open about being a sleazy political machine politician (largely due to lacking the competence to hide it). However, later in the game Mills shows his true colors, expressing his utter distain for the poor who he expects to be swept away to make way for Delta City. If he's elected Mayor, he'll pull a Screw This, I'm Outta Here, stating "I didn't sign up to run this dump", once it becomes clear Delta City will not be built and he's stuck as Mayor of Detroit. He's also a complete asshole during the election night riots and has nothing helpful to contribute, whereas if Kuzak gets re-elected during the riots he at least talks a good game about protecting the citizens of Detroit from the chaos (even if he knows it's Robocop who will be the one doing all the actual work).
- Jerkass Has a Point: Much of his argument for Delta City makes sense on paper. Specifically that the city is economically depressed, crime ridden, and that the public would do better with a thriving economic as well as urban environments. Seasoned Robocop fans, though, know that it will be a complete shitshow.
- Not What I Signed Up For: Mills is a corporate shill and everyone knows this but he didn't plan to also be the target of a massive army of criminals.
- Pet the Dog: A major part of his campaign is that he wants to grant Robocop personhood for his efforts. This doesn't come to pass because he resigns immediately after.
- Puppet King: Backed by OCP in the hopes of becoming Mayor of Detroit.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: If elected, Mills immediately resigns as he was supposed to be a puppet mayor for OCP, but with OCP collapsing and the city in chaos, he doesn't want the responsibility of running the place.
Spoiler Character
The Urban Enforcement Droids AKA UEDs. Max Becker’s secret project created to replace Robocop and eventually the whole Detroit Police Department.
- Continuity Nod: An in-universe example as they're clearly based on one of the prototypes for Robocop 2.
- Composite Character: Their bodies are based on the prototypes for Robocop 2 while their use as horde enemies controlled by an antagonist in a facility is similar the EM-208s of Robocop 2014.
- Cranial Processing Unit: UEDs who get decapitated will begin firing at their allies due to a glitch that was never fixed. However this leaves them with very little health, and destroying their head will often straight out kill them if you also shot their body a few times too.
- Dragon Their Feet: The New Guy tries to use them as a last resort against Robocop but after having his controller shot out of his hands, they just stand there motionless as he's chased down then killed.
- Inadequate Inheritor: The UEDs are meant to replace Robocop and the Detroit police but even an army of them can't defeat Robocop and they are unable to replace the police force either, being easily hijacked and unable to perform investigative police work due to being dumb as bricks.
- Kung Fu-Proof Mook: They are immune to being grabbed, which is otherwise a One-Hit Kill.
- Mecha-Mooks: Max Becker's big project are the "Urban Enforcement Droids", mass produced robots based off of one of the early Robocop 2 prototypes (the skinny humanoid one), which he intends to use to replace Robocop and the Old Detroit police force. However, Wendell takes control of the UEDs and uses them to launch an uprising against the entire city. They can withstand a couple dozen assault rifle rounds or a few dozen pistol shots, making them just slightly less durable than you are without upgrades, and can also dual-wield submachine guns or wield heavy weapons such as .50 cal sniper rifles or .50 cal machine guns.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Their eyes turn from green to red when they are armed for combat, it is especially notable when The New Guy takes control of them.
- Red Herring: The game seems to indicate that these are what all the missing brains are going to. Instead, the brains are going to the Afterlife project with no indication that the UEDs are cyborgs versus robots at all. In fact Becker makes a big deal about how the UEDs are purely mechanical and thus more controllable than Robocop is.
Simon Page
John Mills' campaign manager, who is found dead in his MagnaVolt equipped car.
- Casual Kink: Was a willing participant in Gloria Lindbarg's sex games.
- Commonality Connection: It is unknown if they knew this about one another, but both he and and Gloria liked sailing as a hobby.
- Cruel and Unusual Death: Was strangled to death in his car by a rope with a sailor's knot.
- Honey Pot: Attempts to use sex and bribery to win over Mayor Kuzak's campaign manager. May also just want to have sex with her.
- Posthumous Character: We are introduced to him by investigating his murder.
- Sex for Services: Is attempting to use sex as part of his campaign to win over Gloria Lindbarg.
Agatha Crane
Simon Page's assistant.
- Ambition Is Evil: When confronted in the panic room, she claims that she blackmail attempt was proof that she deserves her job.
- Blackmail Backfire: Attempts to Blackmail her boss, Simon Page with his affair with Gloria Lindbarg. This results in him just firing her.
- Did Not Think This Through:
- Her blackmail attempt consists of two consenting adults having sex across campaign lines when said campaign is almost over. Also, one of the people involved is her boss. So she just gets fired.
- Despite briefly fooling Robocop, she decides to hide out in her boss' panic room rather than make a break for it.
- Will attempt to kill Robocop unless he talks her down by flattering her ego or pointing out that her gun isn't loaded.
- Frame-Up: Strangles her boss in hopes the evidence points to his sex partner, Gloria Lindbarg.
- Suicide by Cop: If she's not talked down, her going after Robocop is this. Turns out there were no bullets in the gun.
- Too Dumb to Live: Her attempt at blackmail is extremely poorly thought out, so is hiding out in her boss' panic room, and later attempting to kill Robocop unless talked down. She also left on Simon's computer, displaying an email containing the password to the panic room.
Eve
A woman who appears in the OCP presentation ad of the Afterlife program who states she is a cyborg returned from death. She is actually a normal human named Meg and was just acting for the ad.
- Back from the Dead: Eve claims to be someone that Afterlife has restored from the dead in a much more human-like body than Alex Murphy. It's just her acting for a commercial.
- Blatant Lies: Claims to be a cyborg raised from the dead by the Afterlife program. This is only for a commercial, though.
- Embarrassing Ad Gig: Meg clearly considers her appearance to be this as she immediately corrects Robocop that the commercial is a lie.
- Instantly Proven Wrong: Alex Murphy meets her immediately after seeing the ad and is told that it is fake.
- Nice Girl: Is helpful and friendly to Robocop unlike the vast majority of Detroit citizens, let alone OCP employees.
- Nothing Personal: Despite aiding in what is legally fraud, since Afterlife absolutely doesn't work, she doesn't do anything to deceive Robocop himself.
- Sticky Fingers: According to the anchorwoman in the OCP Building, she is suspected of stealing office supplies, that is if there isn't another Meg around.
Criminals
The New Guy
A new crime boss in Detroit that everyone wants to work with. He goes by Wendell Antonowsky, claiming to be the brother of the dead Emil but is actually an OCP executive.
- Ambiguous Situation: Whether Wendell could have given back Robocop's human memories. He makes the offer several times but is a pathological liar.
- An Arm and a Leg: Robocop shoots his hand off as he tries to activate his EDU army.
- Bad Boss:
- The New Guy isn't terribly pleasant to his underlings by first killing Soot to punish him for his antics and later by refusing to pay the Street Vultures for their services.
- A Downplayed Trope example is the fact that he often stiffs his employees of paying them as he does with the Street Vultures and the mercenaries.
- Bond Villain Stupidity: The New Guy gets hit with this hard when he has Robocop dead to rights and hanging on a meathook after the attack at the weapons expo. He simply leaves, assuming Robocop will die soon, but not before monologuing to Robocop about the chip he put in him which has been causing his weakness. Detroit PD retrieves Robocop shortly after this, meaning not only did Robo not die, but he also knows how to thwart the one weakness holding him back. To be fair, this does fit with the 80's action movie throwback nature of the game.
- Connected All Along: The "New Guy in Town" is revealed to be Wendell Antonowsky, brother of Emil Antonowsky from the first film. Except, toward the end of the game it's revealed that "Wendell Antonowsky" was an identity cooked up by OCP designed to throw Robocop off his game, and he was an OCP operative only pretending to be Emil's brother.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: "Wendell Antonowsky" is an alias for an OCP manager who runs the "Afterlife" Program, and who takes control of Becker's UED forces during the last act of the game. The events of the entire plot, including the prevalence of various gang members and Officer Briggs being killed, are tied to his machinations.
- Destination Defenestration: He's dispatched in a manner similar to that of Dick Jones — shot multiple times by Robo, and barely getting enough time to comprehend what's happened before he falls off the top of a high-rise OCP-owned property (in this case, the unfinished OCP Tower in Delta City).
- Did Not Think This Through: Rather than send his UED army against Robocop immediately, he decided to send his mercenaries first as cannon fodder only to monologue before getting his hand shot off—the hand controlling the remote that controls the robots.
- The Don: A crime boss with seemingly unlimited resources due to being funded by OCP.
- Dragon with an Agenda: The New Guy/Wendell Antonowsky works for OCP as the manager of their "Afterlife" project, which is attempting to replicate Robocop's cybernetic resurrection in a manner that's safe and consistent as a means of cheating death. However, Wendell chaffs at OCP's control over him, cuts corners in hiring and management of the project, and seems to be antagonizing Robocop far beyond what he was ordered to do (given his actions and those of the Old Man seem in direct contradiction at times). Ultimately, once the Old Man dies, he takes control of Max Becker's UED army and attempts to take over the city himself. The Old Man also gets screwed by Wendell's poor management of Afterlife, as he Came Back Wrong in the body of Robocop 2.
- Expy: Bears a striking resemblance to Hans Gruber from Die Hard.
- Humiliation Conga: Wendell is abandoned by his mercenaries after he's revealed as unable to pay them, his hand is shot off, and he's chased down by Robocop before being gunned down among hundreds of inactive UE Ds that could have saved him.
- Karmic Death: He has the "insurance" policy against Robocop shot off along with his hand and is gunned down by Robocop after he attempts to shoot him despite having only one limb. Double in that he tried to poke on Robocops past, and he is killed in the same manner as Murphy was. With one hand shot off, and repeatedly shot on the chest.
- Kryptonite Ring: Possesses a lighter that causes Robocop to lose control and glitch out, preventing him from arresting him. It's connected to the chip that OCP has recently installed.
- Man of Wealth and Taste: Act considerably more smug and cultured than the majority of the game's other characters.
- No Name Given: "Wendell Antonowsky" is just an alias crafted by OCP to hit Robocop's Trauma Buttons and keep him off his game. His true identity is never revealed.
- Smug Snake: While less of an example than Max Becker, he's someone who constantly taunts and sneers at Robocop while relying on his insurance policy to keep himself safe.
- Straw Nihilist: Initially claims to be one of these as he claims to have given up his desire for revenge for his dead brother and wants to help Robocop get over his human attachments. He's not even Emil's brother so this was all nonsense to begin with.
- We Can Rule Together: Near the end, he tries to convince Robocop to side with him to hold OCP accountable for their crimes. Unfortunately for him, Murphy is having none of it.
- We Have Reserves: His attitude toward his mercenaries and the gang members beneath him. It backfires on him tremendously.
- Visionary Villain: Claims to be one of these but he just plans to take over Delta City after the Old Man has started construction.
The Torch Heads
The Torch Heads
A street gang that specializes in dealing Nuke but also other criminal activities.
- Ax-Crazy: The Torch Heads are shown to be deranged violent criminals.
- Drugs Are Bad: Nuke is depicted as something that turns its users (at least among the Torch Heads) into psychopathic criminals immune to pain or self-preservation.
- For the Evulz: A lot of their actions have no real profit and are only for the sheer joy of mayhem.
- Gangbangers: The Torch Heads are a street gang that has thousands of members and is the largest one in Detroit.
- The Quincy Punk: The Torch Heads have a punk aesthetic and are a bunch of psychopathic drug addicted monsters. They even listen to their leader, Soot's, incredibly bad punk music.
- Suicide Attack: At least some of the Torch Heads are willing to run up and attempt to kill Robocop with a lit propane tank.
- Too Dumb to Live: Literally for them. They are drugged up to the gills that they don't understand the stupidity of trying to fight a literally Made of Iron One-Man Army despite not bringing as much firepower as the Vultures do.
- Undying Loyalty: Surprisingly, the Torch Heads remain loyal to Soot even post mortem and attempt to avenge him.
- We Have Reserves: Despite massive losses at Channel 9 and the Slaughterhouse, they continue on as before.
Soot
The leader of the Torch Heads and a Nuke dealer. He is also a indie punk musician of dubious quality.
- Asshole Victim: The New Guy murders Soot for the fact he brought so much heat down with his Channel 9 stunt.
- Bad Boss: Eagerly leaves his followers to be slaughtered by Robocop in order to cover his escape.
- Drugs Are Good: Soot wrote a song about how Nuke is awesome even if it's not exactly...great. Even his shirt says "Winners Do Drugs".
- Establishing Character Moment: Soot steals the place of Channel 9's anchor man and then executes a cop on live TV via drug overdose.
- Getting High on Their Own Supply: He's both a Nuke pusher and abuser.
- Laughably Evil: Soot is insanely over-the-top, constantly cracking jokes, and an absolute monster.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: His look is heavily based on Keith Flint from The Prodigy, including the Stealth Pun that, as the leader of Torch Heads, he's a firestarter.
- The Quincy Punk: Soot is one of these from his hairstyle to his love of music and mayhem.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: He manages to survive the Channel 9 attack by getting a helicopter to take him out before Robocop arrives.
- Starter Villain: Soot takes of a television station, has a big Establishing Character Moment, and then gets dealt with in a few levels.
- Stylistic Suck: Soot is a terrible musician and his songs are simplistic as well as have only one subject: Drugs Are Good. He's also shown to be lip-syncing during his concert since his song was on playback the entire time.
- Too Dumb to Live: Soot taking over the TV station to shoot an advertisement to the New Guy paints a massive target on both of them for the cops (specifically Robocop), which leads to Wendell gunning him down for causing him trouble.
- Torture Always Works: Subverted. Soot can be beaten up all the live long day and won't say a word but mess with his stuff and he'll eventually talk.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Soot is set-up as the Big Bad of the game, storming and taking a television network (and the Media Break team) hostage in a high-rise building (though he flees the scene when he realizes Robo is about to storm the top floor). Come the second mission, he is unceremoniously shot dead by Wendell when Robo carts him out of the old slaughterhouse in an attempt to glean information from him.
- We Interrupt This Program: The game begins with a live broadcast of Media Break interrupted by Soot and his Torch Heads breaking into the studio, taking everyone hostage (with Soot putting a gun to Casey Wong's face) and offering their services for hire to the New Guy.
Arcade Manager
Soot's associate who runs an arcade and sells nuke on the side.
- Asshole Victim: If he is arrested, he can be found in the prison where some other prisoners tortures him with the electric chair. It is up to Robocop to save him or to leave him to his fate.
- Drugs Are Bad: He sells Nuke to children.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": His real name is never shown.
- Fat Bastard: A chubby guy that sells Nuke to kids through first attracting them to his arcade.
- Harmless Villain: He never tries to attack Robocop, though this is mostly because he has no combat experience and is a Dirty Coward.
- Underestimating Badassery: He feels so confident that his cheap reinforced door is more than enough to stop Robocop.
Street Vultures
Street Vultures
A biker gang operating out of a Detroit steel mill.
- All Bikers are Hells Angels: The Street Vultures are a gang with a great deal of similarity to the real-life outlaw biker gang, including many white supremacist tattoos as well as a love of motorcycles. They also include a lot of trained soldiers among them including snipers and grenadiers, implying some are veterans.
- Badass Biker: The kind of choppers they drive aren't the easiest to control even with both hands on the bars, but they manage to do drive-by shootings with them in confined spaces without falling or crashing. Criminal assholes or not, they sure know how to handle their bikes.
- Bank Robbery: The Street Vultures mount an attack on OCP's Bank in the city of Detroit not long after Robocop drives them out of their headquarters at the old steel mill.
- Did Not Think This Through: Their attempt to rob OCP's bank just brings down the wrath of the corporation and the police.
- For the Evulz: Their plan to blow up the Detroit Bridge has no point to it other than revenge against the city. They don't even ask for a ransom.
- The Remnant: The Street Vultures apparently become a shell of their previous selves after the bank robbery.
- Straight Edge Evil: The leader of the Street Vultures, Spike, forbids any of his gang from consuming Nuke and destroys any he finds. It's probably why he attempts to lure Robocop into an ambush with a bunch of it to destroy.
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The Street Vultures are almost completely destroyed as a gang after Robocop destroys their HQ and bank vault, causing their leader to go on the run. It turns out that We Have Reserves is a terrible attitude to have with criminals.
Spike
The leader of the Street Vultures, who has a deal with the New Guy.
- Cold-Blooded Torture:
- Subjects Officer Briggs to this For the Evulz.
- Is on the receiving end of this from the Torch Heads.
- Did Not Think This Through: When he attempts to warn the Torch Heads about the New Guy, they just capture him and subject him to a thorough beating. Not only is Spike utterly disdainful of the Torch Heads' primary business, drugs, but they're a bunch of drug addicted idiots who already lost Soot to the New Guy. If that didn't turn them against him, nothing will.
- Drugs Are Bad: Has this attitude toward Nuke and destroys it rather than re-sells it.
- General Failure: Spike takes a much more direct hand in leading his gang than Soot and makes several plans to destroy Robocop like mines, snipes, and luring him into traps. He also plans a bank heist to get back at the New Guy. This results in the near total destruction of his gang.
- How the Mighty Have Fallen: After Robocop, ED-209, and SWAT devastates his gang, Spike is captured by the Torch Heads and subjected to torture before being "rescued" by Robocop.
- Hunting the Most Dangerous Game: Hunts down and kills Officer Briggs at the behest of the New Guy.
- Kick The Son Of A Bitch: When he's on the run, he goes to the Torch Heads to hide. They just beat the him black and blue, just as he did to Officer Briggs. Needless to say seeing him in pain is satisfying.
- Revenge Before Reason: Both his bank robbery and attempt to blow up the bridge are less intelligent than just getting the hell out of Detroit.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge:
- His robbery of OCP bank was as much to get back at the New Guy as to get cash. It is a spectacular failure.
- Trying to blow up the Detroit bridge is also an example of this.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Runs away from Robocop when ED-209 arrives.
- Too Dumb to Live: He's willing to fight Robocop with a rocket launcher... In a small enclosed space filled with enough explosives to blow them all to hell.
- Straight Edge Evil: Doesn't tolerate Nuke among his followers and even assembles it for destruction.
- Unexplained Recovery: Spike is one of the Street Vultures attempting to blow up the Detroit Bridge during the Mayoral Riot. How he managed to get out of police custody after being turned over and tortured is anyone's guess.
Unarmed Street Vulture
A Street Vulture who claims to be an accountant for them.
- Dirty Coward: Basically gives Robocop whatever info he has on Officer Briggs when Robo threatens to use force.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": His real name is never shown.
- Harmless Villain: Does not attack Robocop since he doesn't have a weapon and surrenders immediately when Robo kills the other Street Vultures in the building with him.
The Mercenaries
The Mercenaries
A group of mercenaries under the employ of The New Guy.
- Armies Are Evil: Obviously professional soldiers but with no hesitation to breaking out prisoners, executing civilians, and committing other atrocities.
- Call-Forward: Strongly resemble the Rehabs that Robocop will fight in Robocop 3 and may be the same group.
- Elite Mooks: They are encountered later in the game and have uniforms similar to the Rehab mercs in Robocop 3; they have body armor and military weaponry and are noticeably tougher and more durable than the gang members you've been fighting, with even the basic mercs capable of withstanding at least half a mag of standard assault rifle fire if you don't hit their exposed limbs. Towards the end several of them are carrying Cobra Assault Cannons.
- Heavily Armored Mook: All Mercs wear body armor, but the Merc shotgunners are particularly tanky, having about twice the durability of the regular ones. Unlike the Street Vultures' armored goons, they can't be grabbed and thrown, but can still be taken out quicker by targeting their limbs (though their high health means it still takes quite a few shots).
- The Merc leaders wear extremely heavy armor and can soak several dozen assault rifle shots, as well as being immune to being grabbed and thrown. They're only armed with 9mm pistols, but always have a couple squads of Mercs alongside them.
- Karma Houdini: The leader of the mercenaries basically just leaves when Wendell fails to pay him, despite the death and devastation he had his men do across Detroit, including but not limited to wholesale slaughter of people in a prison and in a hospital (staff and patients in the later case). Robocop only lets them slide because he's preoccupied with apprehending Wendell.
- Kung Fu-Proof Mook: Merc shotgunners and Merc leaders are all immune to being grabbed, which is otherwise a One-Hit Kill.
- No Name Given: We never learn what military organization they belong to, probably because what they're doing is highly illegal.
- Only in It for the Money: Once it has become clear that The New Guy isn't able to keep paying them, they abandon him to his fate.
- Punch-Clock Villain: They are if nothing else, just professionals doing their job. They immediately stop fighting and just leave upon finding out that the OCP money transfer they're expecting isn't coming, even going so far as to tell Alex that it's Nothing Personal.
- Private Military Contractors: They're paid and professional mercenaries even if they're absolute scum.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: At the end of the game, they immediately stop fighting and abandon The New Guy once his money transfer fails to go through (due to OCP no longer funding him). Their leader even remarks to Robocop that it was Nothing Personal before leaving.
- Underestimating Badassery: When they arrive on the scene to rescue The New Guy during the prison riot, they disregard Robo's presence by commenting that he's not a threat. Towards the end of the game, however, they begin to grow increasingly panicked as he continues to plow through large groups of them.
Other Criminals
Maurice
A Nuke dealer who steals his product from other dealers and sells it at half price, which gets him in trouble with other dealers.
- Desires Prison Life: He'll be overjoyed if you offer to send him to prison, since he'll get free lodging, free meals, and get to work at a job he likes in the laundry room.
- Harmless Villain: He never attempts to hurt Robocop.
- Hidden Depths: Just wants to do laundry for a living and enjoys it.
- Seinfeldian Conversation: He gets subjected to this by the dealers who bust him. Right before they shoot him off of his apartment building, the dealers spend time browbeating him over the mechanics of supply and demand in the tone of expert economists. Much of it was lost on Maurice, but it gave Robocop enough time to get to the roof to save his hide.
- Skewed Priorities: When he realises that he is speaking to Robocop trying to bust him, he doesn't hang up immediately and instead proceeds to rant about guys who vandalize phone booths since they are making him lose customers.
- Stupid Crooks:
- Selling Nuke at such a greatly reduced price not only screws him out of money but also annoys drug dealers who feel he's actually hurting the market.
- Will not understand nine percent is not ninety percent before jumping off a building after hearing he had a nine percent chance of surviving.
Rex
A local gang leader that deals in car related crimes and owns a chop shop.
- Defiant to the End: Is gunned down with the rest of his goons with no attempt to surrender.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Sends a bunch of goons to murder Scott for not sending him the car he wanted.
- Too Dumb to Live: Like many crooks, he chooses to fight Robocop to the end.
Vince
A local gang leader that has been harassing Lawrence's Fish Shop.
- Ambiguous Situation: We never find out why he was harassing Lawrence or how it relates to OCP covering up the police needs in the area. It's probably related to Delta City, though.
Jimmy Leak
An inmate at the prison who wrote a complaint about having to attend mandatory baking classes.
- The Ghost: He is never actually seen in person, though a complaint written by him can be found during the prison riot.
- Red Baron: "The Bulldog."
- Villain Has a Point: Attending baking classes can actually reduce his rep to the point of being dangerous to him as an inmate.
Anthony Harris
A street mugger who turn himself in.
- Desires Prison Life: Expresses that he found life outside of prison too difficult for him and partly turned himself in so he could go back in.
- Stupid Crooks: Turned himself in for the reward money on his wanted poster. He was never gonna get it.
- This Means Warpaint: Seems to put on face paint before he committed his crimes, which is why he has it on when he turns himself in.
- Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Nobody in the police station noticed him, even though his wanted posters are posted around the station and his appearance sticks out like a sore thumb. He lampshades this.
Detroit Citizens
Samantha Ortiz
An investigative reporter for Channel 9 news that still believes she can do good in the media.
- Crazy-Prepared: She has a sleeping gas trap rigged up in her apartment if anyone tries to break in. But unfortunately, it doesn't work on Robocop.
- Hot Scoop: Samantha Ortiz is an attractive dark haired Hispanic woman as well as reporter for Channel 9.
- I Have Your Wife: Correctly believes that OCP is after information about her mother in hopes of threatening her.
- Intrepid Reporter: She's constantly trying to dig up dirt on OCP, with Robocop being able to either help or hinder her.
- Kicked Upstairs: If you refuse to help her investigate OCP or otherwise have a poor relationship with her, in her ending she'll be forced to recant her accusations against OCP and will be "rewarded" with being made the host of an asinine Morning Show on Channel 9.
- Pet the Dog: Help her with her personal quest (investigating OCP) by letting her go at the OCP Bank and getting her personal belongings out of the storage locker, and she'll refuse to air the footage of him glitching out while confronting Antonowsky on top of the abandoned mall, and later give him the only copy of the videotape as a form of trust.
- Revenge: Her mother was disgraced by OCP and it's her desire to drive them out of business.
- Spicy Latina: Is a passionate Hispanic woman who is driven by her desire to destroy OCP.
- Uncertain Doom: If you help her against her threats, her efforts to fight OCP result in her fighting as part of Robocop 3's La Résistance. Which is very dangerous but noble work.
- Ungrateful Bastard: Robocop manages to kill about a hundred Torch Heads holding the news crews of Channel 9 hostage but is filmed hesitating during a hostage situation. So, of course, Channel 9 reports him as dangerously unstable. Subverted later as she has nothing against Robocop personally but is trying to undermine OCP. She's also more grateful if he saves others.
"Bertha"
A mysterious terrorist leader who is backing Samantha Ortiz when she is fired from Channel 9.—-
- Call-Forward: A glitch during the newcast when "Bertha" is mentioned shows the text "There Is No Silver Lining", confirming it's likely Bertha Washington.
Dr. Olivia Blanche
A therapist who is called in by OCP to discuss Robocop's mental and emotional state, at the behest of the Old Man.
- An Arm and a Leg: Her backstory establishes that she had her hand shot off by a malfunctioning ED-209 during a confrontation with another family member, which has clouded her opinion of machines.
- Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: She (initially) carries this attitude towards machines, which forms the basis of her early conversations with Robo.
- Face Your Fears: Part of the reason she took the job of counseling Robocop is to help deal with her own trauma from being shot by an ED-209. If properly inspired by Robocop, the epilogue has her talk down another ED-209 and write a book about machine psychology. Otherwise, she ends up with even worse trauma when said ED-209 murders a model.
- Disproportionate Retribution: She relinquishes her computer to OCP, but keeps her evaluation notes on Robocop (which only exist in written form) with her. In response to this, Wendell sends out a squad of mercenaries to the motel she's hiding out in, both to kill her and conceal the encounter by burning the building down. Only Robo's intervention saves her life.
- Escort Mission: Later in the game, the player has to protect her after Wendell's forces attempt to kill her for withholding her evaluation notes on Robocop's therapy session.
- Meaningful Name: Her name sounds a lot like "Olive Branch". As in, she's sent in as an Olive Branch by the Old Man.
- Sheep in Sheep's Clothing: Despite working for OCP and having her own reasons to look down on Robocop, at no point does she ever reveal herself to be anything other than a therapist sincerely concerned for Alex's well-being.
Pickles/Joshua Green
A street informant who assists Robocop with various street-level investigations.
- Downer Ending: If Robocop doesn’t convince him to turn his life around, his epilogue will be a news report of how he died high on Nuke, with his remains found inside a dead python who was acting erratically when it was still alive due to the Nuke in Pickles.
- Functional Addict: It becomes immediately clear that he dabbles in Nuke usage, but he justifies this behavior by stating that he needs to in order to keep up appearances, and it doesn't appear to have any negative impacts on him. Later on, the player can either indulge his fix (by letting him keep the money the Torch Heads stashed at the video rental store) or withhold it and convince him to get clean.
- Hidden Depths: Contrary to how he portrays himself, Pickles has a strong familiarity with a wide assortment of film genres, something that Robo says he never expected of him (and suggests capitalizing on in order to find employment or a hobby). Briggs' profile on him states that one of the reasons Pickles was recruited as an informant was because he has great people skills.
- The Informant: He's a homeless Nuke junkie that moonlights as an informant for Officer Briggs. He's treated as a lot more sympathetic than most examples in that he genuinely wants to do some good for others and can be encouraged by Robocop to turn his life around.
- Not Helping Your Case: Is chided at several points by Robo for not being clear with his intentions, or for goading Robo into helping him undertake seemingly-menial tasks that are borderline-illegal.
- Odd Friendship: He becomes increasingly fond of Robocop, to the extent that he identifies the latter as his "partner". He also had one with Officer Briggs.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: He doesn't appear to have any other alias besides "Pickles", which is what the rest of the cops refer to him as, the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue even uses his alias instead of his real name. A recommendation letter for a rehab program found in Officer Briggs' home reveals his real name Joshua Green.
- Sidekick: Can act as this for a handful of missions early in the game, including the sidequest to bring Briggs' son back home and the trip to the video rental store.
- Took a Level in Badass: If Robocop convinces Pickles to turn a new leaf, in the epilogue a news report mentions he single-handedly stopped a hostage crisis by a disgraced senator in the movie theater he worked at.
- Younger Than They Look: A letter by Briggs says he is 34 years old, but Pickles has fully grey beard, and his overall haggard look easily makes him look twenty years older than he is.
Gail Briggs
The wife of Officer Micheal Briggs.
- Damsel in Distress: Is trapped inside a burning house during the penultimate mission. Robocop can carry her out but has to do quickly or she dies of smoke inhalation.
- Good Parents: Is trying to do her best in Detroit but her son is often off doing dangerous things.
- Hate at First Sight: Has never liked Pickles, which according to him is because she is a Excellent Judge of Character. She also believes he had something to do with her husband being missing.
- Properly Paranoid: Does not like Pickles. Pickles has also stolen an expensive watch from their apartment, even though he wants to return it (and never does).
Daniel Briggs
The son of Officer Micheal Briggs.
- Early-Bird Cameo: He is first seen in the arcade while Robocop have to investigate the owner there, seemingly a random child.
- Gaining the Will to Kill: He's shown practicing with a handgun despite being a pre-teen due to the belief that he needs to be ruthless in order to protect his mother. Pickles manages to talk him down by stating that this will lead him down a bad path using himself as an example.
- Properly Paranoid: He believes that his dad is as good as dead. He's completely right.
- Troubling Unchildlike Behavior: A very realistic one of finding and gun and playing with it.
Mrs. Elkins
A concerned mother who reports her son missing.
- Properly Paranoid: Believes her son is in trouble due to being missing for 48 hours. She's completely right as it turns out he was alreadly dead when she made the report.
George Elkins
The son of Mrs. Elkins who is reported missing.
- Momma's Boy: Contacts his mother daily even though he is 24 years old.
- Posthumous Character: When Robocop enters his details into the police database to begin a search for him, it reveals that he was found dead 2 hours ago.
Nancy McGuire
A woman who reported her husband's body missing during transport to Hawthorne's Funeral Home.
- The Ghost: She does not appear physically, but she is one of the people that reported to Officer Michael Briggs about missing dead bodies.
Ben
A mechanic who owns Ben's Auto Shop and happens to be indirectly linked to several missions throughout the game.
- Defrosting Ice Queen: Starts off as verbally hostile to Robocop, but warms up to him when Robocop helps Scott.
- Good Samaritan: He's a mechanic who wants to employ kids like Scott to keep them out of trouble, to mixed results.
- The Mentor: Is attempting to be this to Scott but is ignoring the fact the boy is still involved in criminal activity.
- Morality Pet: Scott serves as one of these as he attempts to steer him the right way.
- Pet the Dog: Ben's actions toward Scott are designed to show he's a good man, even if his indulgence of the man's actions have unintended consequences.
Scott
A mechanic who works part-time for Ben.
- Did Not Think This Through: Scott's attempts to substitute another SUX 6000 ignores that they are luxury vehicles of the rich and thus going to be missed.
- Karma Houdini: Robocop can let him go despite the fact he's part of a car theft ring, returning the vehicle to Mayor Kuzak's niece. This is the most serious crime that Robocop can simply dismiss.
- Stupid Crooks: Scott has dug himself a very deep hole by pissing off the Mayor and his criminal associates.
- Too Dumb to Live: Tries to substitute a car that his boss was working on for another one that his criminal associates wanted to steal, it ends up being the Mayor's niece's car.
- Too Clever by Half: Scott's attempts to avoid screwing over his boss and the gang he's working with just make things much-much worse for everyone.
- Unintentionally Notorious Crime: Scott's side mission involves Robocop being ordered by Mayor Kuzak to look for his niece's car, a 6000 SUX, that has been stolen. Robocop's investigation reveals that the car was stolen by Simon, a member of a local chop shop, who did it in desperation when he lost the SUX he was assigned to steal and knew what punishment awaited him for such a screw-up. He certainly did not expected to piss off the mayor and get his entire gang massacred by Robocop.
Melissa Kuzak
Mayor Marvin Kuzak’s niece.
- Cool Car: The 6000 SUX is considered a premiere luxury car despite its appalling gas mileage and features.
- The Ghost: She never appears in person, but one mission in the game is to find her stolen 6000 SUX.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: Can get her uncle to force the Detroit Police to divert their efforts for finding the terrorist, Soot, to find her missing car.
Casey Carmel
A prostitute who ends up as a murder case Robocop can solve.
- Alliterative Name: Casey Carmel.
- Blackmail Backfire: Casey tries to pull one of these on Jerry Jenkins and gets killed for her efforts.
- Did Not Think This Through: Casey's blackmail material consists of Jerry having consensual sex with a prostitute in a sleazy gas station. It might be worth something but confronting him directly with no backup was ill-advised as it results in her death.
- Disposable Sex Worker: A part-time prostitute who is found murdered in an alleyway in Downtown Detroit.
- Early-Bird Cameo: She is first seen among the crowd outside the TV station while being questioned by some cops.
- High-Class Call Girl: A Downplayed Trope example. Casey is noted to be a good deal prettier and less troubled than most prostitutes of Old Detroit, possibly because she's only a part-timer. This makes her attractive to Jerry Jenkins.
- Posthumous Character: Casey is already dead at the start of the game, having been killed by an unknown party.
Jerry Jenkins
An actor shooting a commercial for Sunblock 5000.
- Alliterative Name: Jerry Jenkins.
- Blackmail: Is subject to an attempt to this and overreacts by killing the blackmailer.
- Did Not Think This Through: Killing someone over trying to blackmail him over a sex tape was an excessive reaction even in the retro-future Eighties of the movies.
- He also points Robocop to the location of his understudy’s gas station, not believing there to be any proof connecting him to the crime there. Turns out it was the murder location and Casey set up a hidden camera that recorded her murder.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Everyone on the set loathes the man and the commercial's director lets Robocop investigate because she hopes that Jerry has done something illegal and can fire him.
- Murder Is the Best Solution: Murders Casey Carmel after she tries to blackmail him despite the questionable danger of a sex tape to his career.
- Properly Paranoid: His refusal to actually wear the Sunblock 5000 material is justified given it's apparently toxic to the skin.
- Rich Bitch: Is insisting on constant reshoots and displays diva-like behavior.
- Skewed Priorities: If you find him during the prison riot mission, he is delusionally preparing for a movie role instead of fearing for his life, there is even a dead body sitting next to him.
- The Sociopath: Jerry notably shows absolutely no remorse or concern about the fact he committed murder a couple of hours before.
The Understudy
Jerry Jenkins’ understudy that he hired for the Sunblock 5000 commercial.
- Did Not Think This Through: Instead of going to the police when he found Casey Carmel’s murdered body, he decided to dump her body in a trash area while covered in Sunblock 5000, which puts him at the scene of the crime and will face jail time even though he didn’t murder her himself.
- Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": His real name is never shown.
Ronny Roberts
A grocer and the owner of Ronny's Grocer.
- A Friend in Need: Seems to be a long time friend of Samantha Ortiz and her mother. Should Robocop keep her box from the storeage warehouse away from OCP's hands, she asks him to give it to him for safekeeping.
- Alliterative Name: Ronny Roberts.
- Butt-Monkey: A pair of gangsters decide to play loud music outside his store for no reason other than just to annoy him. He's then targeted by ruthless violent criminals during the riots.
- Spell My Name With An S: For some reason his first name constantly switches between Ronny and Ronnie.
Kay Ortiz
Samantha Ortiz' mother.
- The Ghost: We never see her in person, but OCP is after information about her in hopes of threatening her daughter, just like they did to herself in the past.
Veronica Guera
A sales and marketing representative from Baby Maid.
- The Ghost: We never see her in person, but sends a letter to Max Becker about making Robocop the face of Baby Maid since his main source of sustenance comes from them.

A Program Coordinator.
- The Ghost: We never see her in person, but sends a letter to Ben the mechanic and gifts him the Guilding Angel award for his work and care for Scott.
Lawrence
The owner of a fish shop who has been harassed by a local gang.
- Properly Paranoid: Suspects that the OCP-run cops are ignoring his shop being damaged. He's correct and calls from his area are being sent to a voice mail.
Jessica Brown
A representative of MagnaVolt's HR Department.
- The Ghost: She is not seen in person, but a note from her can be found addressed to Officer Estevez for a job interview.
Gloria Lindbarg
A woman who works for Mayor Kuzak's campaign office.
- Bondage Is Bad: A Red Herring in this case as Robocop quickly determines she doesn't use the kind of knot that killed Simon Page. Robocop can still stop to lecture her about how bondage is only attractive to the free.
- Casual Kink: Looking around her bedroom makes it clear she is into BSDM.
- Commonality Connection: It is unknown if they knew this about one another, but both she and Simon Page liked sailing as a hobby.
- Frame-Up: Agatha Crane attempts to frame her for the murder of Simon Page.
- The Insomniac: Has a prescription for sleeping pills as she claims she cannot fall asleep when alone in bed.
- Red Herring: There's some superficial evidence that she is responsible for Simon Page's murder. Robocop quickly determines it's not the case.
- The Tease: She actually flirts with Robocop while he investigates her apartment.
David Hammil
The Head of Security of the OCP Building.
- The Ghost: He is not seen in person, but a note from him can be found in the OCP server room written about a new policy for remembering access codes.

Melissa
A model for Sunblock 5000 who gets confronted by an ED-209 over a parking space dispute in Olivia Blanche's epilogues. If Olivia has got over her fear of ED-209, she survives, while if she hasn't, she's killed.
- Names The Same: Not to be confused with Melisa Kuzak.
Funeral Bob
An influencer who goes to as many funerals as possible.
- Black Comedy: Funeral Bob is the only person to show up at Max Becker's funeral.
- Identical Stranger: Heavily resembles, or possibly is, Keva Rosenberg, a random unemployed man from one of the original movie's interview segments.
Rosa Weaver
