Terminator/RoboCop: Kill Human is a 4 issue comic book series from Dynamite Comics.
In the apocalyptic future at the end of the SkyNet war, RoboCop is found as an exhibit in a robotics museum by a surviving human who wakes him up while trying to get the Auto-9.
After the survivor dies, RoboCop finds out what led to end of humankind and travels back in time to change the events at Cyberdyne Systems in Terminator 2: Judgment Day and stop humanity's dark fate.
Tropes in this series include:
- Alone with the Psycho: As the room begins to fill with water, RoboCop seals it with the T-800 and T-1000 inside. Oh, and John is with them too, left at the mercy of the T-1000...
- Asshole Victim: Dick Jones gets sealed in the chamber with John, the T-800, and T-1000, as it sinks.
- The Bad Guy Wins: RoboCop sacrifices John to kill the T-1000 and T-800, therefore in his eyes, defeating Skynet. However, the T-1000 smiles at him before dying, causing him to briefly wonder if he just played into Skynet's cards.
- Downer Ending: RoboCop destroys remnants of Skynet (that is, the T-800 and the T-1000), at the cost of John... not that he cares. However, the ships they're all on end up sinking from the T-1000's attack.
- Everyone Has Standards: Even the All-Loving Hero John draws a line in the sand with RoboCop when the latter tries to kill the T-800, saying that he's no human and he's the real machine here.
- The Hero Dies: All of them. John is killed by the T-1000 and everyone else drowns to death.
- Kick the Dog: In the ending, RoboCop leaves John to die, resulting in him getting killed by the T-1000.
- That Man Is Dead: Both John and Sarah call RoboCop out on his inhumanity, the former for attempting to kill the T-800 despite his Heel–Face Turn and the latter for letting John die.
- Off with His Head!: The T-1000 slices John's head off.
- Out of Character:
- Even after RoboCop tells her that his only intent is to destroy Skynet, which does not include protecting John, Sarah — who is supposed to be a Mama Bear — still trusts him with John's life. This results in her being unable to stop him from trapping John with the T-1000 in the sinking chamber.
- The T-1000 is slightly more emotional than it is in Judgment Day, showing shock and smirking a couple of times, namely smiling evilly at RoboCop at the end.
- Retroactive Preparation: A variation. RoboCop uses time travel to give a young Dick Jones the schematics for the ED-209, (thus ensuring that OCP will become the MegaCorp it is destined to become), with his only condition being that Jones and a squad of 209s show up at a VERY specific place and time in the "future" (ie the comic's present) to assist in the final battle.
- Sadistic Choice: In the ending, RoboCop makes the decision to trap John, Dick Jones, the T-800, and the T-1000 in the acidic chamber while it's being filled up by water. It results in John's death, but hey, all of Skynet is gone, right?
- Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: After killing John, the T-1000 maliciously smiles at RoboCop before dying to the acid, causing the latter to wonder if Skynet is happy that John is dead partly because of him or if Skynet is happy that RoboCop has inadvertently proven that he is a machine, not human.
