Feminists outraged by new sony game...
...What the Hell o.o Well at least I know what game to steer clear of. I'll be happy with Need for Speed High Stakes with the Knight Industries Two Thousand mod.

RoboCop (2010)
I'm actually biting my teeth at the notice of this on the accounts of how crappy it could come out.

Cy-Fox
Prologue
North American Aerospace Defense Command
Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado
The United States
January 14, 2032

Lieutenant Colonel Jake Grey was forty-six years old and only felt half that, mainly because of the alternation between drinking green tea and drinking booze, both healthy pastimes back in his native England. The brown haired, stocky Briton had come into the Air Force after completing his A+ certifications in England and also becoming engaged to his Michigan sweetheart. He ended up getting into the Academy with surprisingly high marks and started to climb the fiber optic ladder of AFCYBCOM, the Air Force Cyberwarfare Command, responsible (since 2008) for protecting American computer networks and of course the American portion of the Internet. He was at the apogee of his career, being in charge of the security and operations of NORAD’s network. The Crystal Palace was well known around techie circles, principally because of the ‘80s movie ‘WarGames’. There was no WOPR system here, but a joint Air Force-Cyberdyne Systems team was working on an automated defense intelligence that would interface with the assets cranked out of the GLOBAL WARRIOR R&D program, an offshoot of the Army’s LAND WARRIOR from the ‘90s, expanded for not only land, but air and sea.

Grey really didn’t care for it though. He like several others, including Major General Robert Brewster (Ret.), preferred to keep humans completely in the loop. Sorry, sentients. That was the buzzword of the day since 2024 when humans made contact with intelligent life, in the form of anthromorphic beings called Mobians. Mobians were usually about a quarter to half the size of an average human, depending on genetics and they had an equal level of technology and intelligence. Surprisingly, humanity adjusted well to them. There were of course the fringe xenophobic groups and the individual activists, but the only major concern was Dr. Ivo “Eggman” Robotnik, a former engineer from Omni Consumer Products, who lost his job when OCP was shut down in 2007 after a high profile scandal involving a failed RoboCop 2 prototype. Eggman was still well off however, having invested most of his wages in the appropriate markets, and he also had a nest egg from his family, which used to be a ever-filling fund until his grandfather decided to cut him off after a little temper tantrum in Mobius that ended in the destruction of the first human colony on the planet and also the death of several hundred Mobians.

Eggman had wanted to subjugate the planet for himself and populate it with cyborgs culled from captured Mobians (or sometimes humans) and married to leftover OCP technology and also full-fledged automated robots. He called his vision the Eggman Empire, but the Empire had yet to be realized because of the interference of not only the Earth governments, but also Mobius’ rising hero Sonic the Hedgehog, a blue Mobian with a hunger for speed and chili dogs. He held the Guiness World Record for fastest extraterrestial being and was signed up to compete in this year’s Olympics in Toronto. He was the biggest pain in Eggman’s arse and after a year ago, Lieutenant Colonel Grey was happy for it.

Eggman had nearly decimated the NORAD early-warning system with a botnet, a large group of computers taken over by a specially made program, modeled after the 2007-2008 Storm botnet. But with the help of Sonic’s best friend, a young orphaned Mobius fox named Miles Prower (but who preferred to be called Tails), the botnet was beat back and the NORAD intrusion detection system and firewall were boosted. Grey didn’t hold any grudge towards the young Mobian for outshining him. Grey respected the young fox very much. He was the expert in Eggman-based cybernetics and was also a great aviator to boot.

For that reason, he was bringing him back again. A special job had come up, one that distinctly suited the fox’s taste for intellectual challenges and mechanical work. It required an Air Force enlistment, which was technically illegal in any other case because of the fox’s origin and age, but Congress had in its rare moments of benevolence, gave the Air Force special permission to allow the fox to join. All it came down to was Tails’ acceptance.

There was a small chirping noise. Grey instantly knew what it was and pressed a stud on his plastiglass desk, causing a hidden holographic projector in both the base of his desk and on the ceiling to come to life and his computer to come out of standby. The standard desktop of the Air Force’s operating system faded into view, with a video conferencing application already up. Captain William Thorald, one of Grey’s top aides was at his desk, staring out at his commanding officer. Captain Thorald was also brown haired, but he was a tall, cadaverous man with a skeleton-like visage and a flat nose from a skiing accident in Michigan, which coupled with his roots in Ohio and the football rivalry that came with it, prompted a friendly exchange of wits relating to Grey’s wife which ended when Lieutenant Colonel Grey told the Captain to go piss up a rope.

“Sir,” Captain Thorald said in his fast-paced tone. “Prower’s cleared security and is on his way here.”

Grey nodded with approval. “Good. I take it Claudia’s already coming to meet him?”

Thorald nodded. Lieutenant Claudia Thorald was the Captain’s own aide and also wife. She was also the designer behind the physical remodeling of AFCYBCOM-NORAD that was ordered in ’29 and was in Grey’s opinion, a good choice for the captain, as she was just as smart as he was and also very attractive at the same time. “I gave her change for the soda machine too.”

“Good idea.” Grey said. Security had insisted that he be flown in with the Air Force’s own planes instead of him coming in on his own. Not only would Miles be jet lagged, but also probably a bit cranky. “I’ll have the door open for you three. Thanks.”

“Any time.” Captain Thorald said, and then hit a stud on his own desk, causing the conferencing app to fade away. Grey decided to keep his computer running. He opened up a desk drawer and pulled out a wireless mouse, still a staple in the military and used it to open up Prower’s file, which had a shortcut directly on the desktop.

Prower was a bit tall for his age. He was about 5 feet, 4 inches and weighed in at only 76 pounds. He had fur of a pale mix of orange and yellow and had blue eyes, the distinguishing feature besides his rare second tail, a feature that had given him a bit of ridicule early on as a child. But it also allowed him the peculiar ability to fly for a short range by spinning them like helicopter blades. If Charles Darwin were still alive, he’d have a heart attack after seeing it.

He was, as mentioned earlier, orphaned. It happened directly in Eggman’s 2024 attack on the first human settlement. The fox’s father was an officer in their local militia and his mother had gone with him as part of a diplomatic group and they were all ignited into ash by a stolen nuclear missile. Tails however, soldiered on through it and helped his best friend Sonic, get payback a few times. Psychologically, he was as tough as steel.

It took that kind of steel to do what Grey was about to ask the fox.

The Lieutenant Colonel got up from his desk and opened his office door and stood there as if he was a lower ranked officer or enlisted and waited. He craned his head out and saw Claudia and Miles come around the corner with William behind them. He then leaned back and smiled. Claudia stopped at the doorway. “Lieutenant Colonel Grey, Mr. Miles Prower as requested.” she said. Her voice had lost most of its German accent years ago since she came Stateside, but there were still minute traces of it.

“Come on in.” Grey said and let go of the door. He slowly walked back to his desk and settled down at his chair. Claudia side-stepped for Miles to come through. The young fox was wearing a white dress shirt, which was unbuttoned at the top. He held a can of lemon lime soda and walked up to one of the chairs that sat in front of Grey’s desk. Grey pushed a coaster out and the fox set the can down on top of it. “Thank you.”
“Welcome to NORAD Cyber Command again Miles.” Grey said. He clasped his hands together and set them out in front of him on the desk. “It’s good to see you again.”

“The same to you, Jake.” Tails said. “What can I do for the Air Force today?” He was sharp and straight to the point, the type of person no one dared to bullshit because he could smell bullshit a county away.

“There’s a job that’s come up. Long term.” Grey replied. “It involves the Eggman 100 series robots that were recently released.” Tails nodded and shifted slightly in his seat to get comfortable. “I’ve seen a bit about them already.”

”We know that, and that’s why I’m asking for you directly. We’ve come into a bit of a break lately with them. The Navy’s been able to capture a few and have given half of them to us to work with. We need a sharp analyst like you to tear them apart and figure out what data’s in them, and also to find where the chink in their armor is.” Grey said. He opened his desk drawer again and pulled out a manila folder containing the Congressional authorization and other papers.

“Interesting.” Tails put a finger to his chin and looked up at Grey. “What would I need to do in order to start?”

“You’d need to be inducted as a member of the Air Force. Normally this wouldn’t be allowed but,” Grey leaned forward and pushed the folder to Tails’ side of the desk. “Congress has made an allowance for you. You’d be placed into the enlisted corps within CYBCOM and sent to the research station, which is currently Space Colony ARK. You’d have a room there, and we’re also going to provide you with equipment to supplement your own and also help move your things up there. We might even be able to make an arrangement to put you on the civilian engineering team as well so that you don’t get bored out.”

Tails nodded. “It sounds like a reasonable deal.”

“There is one thing though. You’ll have to go through some adapted infantry training, which includes strenuous physical activity and also firearms training. You’ll also be issued a sidearm. Will you be able to handle that?”

Tails nodded. “As long as I can use my tails on the monkey bars.”

Grey laughed softly at that. “You’ll have to take that up with your instructor. So what do you say? Do we have an agreement?”

Tails then picked up his can of soda. “As long as they have this stuff up there, you can put me on MP detail for all I care. Do you have a pen?”

Grey nodded and pulled one out of his pocket and twisted the top half. “Here you go.”

Tails then opened the manila folder and started to fish for his first form.

RoboCop (2010)

Yeah, it's official. There's going to be another RoboCop movie. Hey, is that Fred Dekker lurking over there? KILL HIM! Nah, just kidding Fred. Wouldn't kill you (even though you killed RoboCop for awhile with 'RoboCop 3'. C'mon, martial arts and RoboCop? What were you ON, man?!) I reserve my bullets for Julian 'Grunt' Grant. Yeah, Mister RoboCop Prime Directives. The guy who said 'Hey everybody, let's use a pint-sized RoboCop this time', and thus gave us Paige Fletcher and a crappy 4-part mini series with only one part that was worth while, the first one.

So yeah, RoboCop's been beaten to death a little bit. However with the new run of comics by Avatar (such as the original series done by Frank "The Dark Knight" Miller, who also did the writing for RoboCop 2 and 3, however his vision of a corporate plundered Detroit was neutered by Hollywood), and also the success of Iron Man, it seems that MGM is waking up and smelling the baby food, since they've announced a 2010 release for a RoboCop movie. Whether it's a remake or a sequel, has yet to be seen.

However it is known that Darren Aronofsky, Director of Requiem for a Dream and also Pi (who also was going to remake Batman before Christopher Nolan, however his vision was too dark for Warner Brothers to eat. If only he was paired with Frank Miller and there was no MPAA! D=) Writing will be his usual directorial sidekick, David Self.

With the way it looks, RoboCop may be making a comeback. However there's still many questions. CGI or real effects? More importantly, who's going to don the suit? (If I were around for it, I'd sure as Hell do it! I kinda look like Peter Weller..)

In closing, here's another poster and oh yeah, discuss

Yeah, get the Report in within two refreshes and recieve a free pizza. Kidding XD. Anyways seriously, please use the Report button so that we can handle the individual(s) responsible for the trouble in an orderly fashion. We can't just go around looking around on our own.

Hoo! :3
You spam where I walk my beat and you'll get hit with a wrench. XD. No, I'm not that cruel (Yeah right, says Hades.) Anyways, it's good to see the Turbine spinning.

History: Born on November 24 2016 to Amadeus (a retired military officer) and Rosemary Prower at South Island (Mobius), Tails had gone through many extraordinary events in his life which began with his birth. Tails was born with a second tail that allowed him to fly around. His newfound ability to fly as well as his high intelligence level would however make him a social outcast and the butt of jokes of those his age. Things would get even worse for him though, when Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik destroyed the first human colony on Mobius with a nuclear missile in 2024. His parents had died there when Amadeus was requested to meet with the Canadian Space Agency liason there.

Tails decided to pack his things and moved out to the Mystic Ruins. There, he met his first true friend, Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic was fighting against Eggman, who was trying to gain a foothold on the ground to create his own Empire, and Tails helped Sonic with his knowledge of mechanics and aerobatics several times. This helped propell the fox to near-fame as he was employed by the United States Air Force on the behalf of the North American Aerospace Defense taskforce (NORAD) when he was 14 to help purge an Eggman-made computer virus.

He would return to the attention of the Air Force the next year, when Eggman began a large-scale robotic assault on the human peacekeeping forces on Mobius. Tails was granted a enlisted commission by the Air Force by special Congressional order and became the first non-human and youngest member of the U.S military. He would be transferred to Space Colony ARK to help dismantle and study captured Eggman robots.

It was on the ARK where Tails thrived the most. With the advanced technologies and research material available, Tails was able to make technological leaps in weaponry. He was also helpful in interpeting electronic intelligence. But his biggest claim to fame on the station was saving the life of Maria Robotnik, the granddaughter of the ARK's Shadow project's lead scientist, Gerald Robotnik. An E-series robot (later classified as E-102 Gamma) had gotten loose from a lab and was going on a rampage. With its energy weapons disabled, it had opted to physically batter several people. It had gotten ahold of Maria and had nearly bludgoned her to death, had Tails not appeared to take the hit. He held the machine off until he blacked out and the robot was subdued by security.

When Tails woke up, he found that he wasn't just a recipient of the Purple Heart, but also the recipent of Maria's attention and love. They would be unseperable.

For a year at most.

Ivo Robotnik knew that the Guardian Unit of Nations, a special operations arm of the Department of Homeland Security, did not like some of the experiments going on at Space Colony ARK. He exploited their intelligence network and fed in falsified data about the Shadow Project, with the intent of using G.U.N to wipe it out (knowing it was bad enough dealing with ONE hedgehog).

G.U.N had boarded the station in mid-2032 and had started to systematically wipe everything on the station out. Military police and security officers alike were cut down. Some prisoners were taken but it was mainly a massacre. Maria and Tails, tasked with getting the Shadow prototype off the ARK, were hunted all the way to the escape pod array, where Tails held them at gunpoint with his sidearm, a Colt 1911A1 .45 automatic. G.U.N overpowered him and he ended up getting shot several times, ultimately blacking out. Maria Robotnik was killed but Shadow was released from the station.

When Tails regained conciousness to his astonishment, he was neither dead or imprisoned.

He was in his own lab with E-102 Gamma.

Gamma, after his reprogramming, was given a special order that was much like the Asimov First Law of Robotics ('A robot may not harm a sentient being, nor may a robot alow a sentient being to come to harm indirectly'). Detecting the drop in Tails' vital signs wirelessly, the robot had waited for G.U.N to slip out and retrieved the fox, performing basic first aid.

It wouldn't be enough though. Tails had very serious injuries, including spinal damage. He gave E-102 Gamma a set of final instructions and ultimately flatlined and was technically dead.

E-102 Gamma placed Tails into cryogenic suspension and began to carry out the fox's plans. He hacked into a government databank and found where the technical data behind the failed Omni Consumer Products Corporation's RoboCop unit was stored. Copying the data, Gamma then rendered and modified the materials neccessary to fit Tails. He then brought Tails out of suspension and surgically implanted him with the modified cybernetic systems. After Tails 'came back', he finished the remainder of the operations and began his new life.

He started by retrieving his air vehicles from the Mobius Mystic Ruins through Gamma and also began creating clones of Gamma, known as a T-102 Delta (D for Drone). He also observed Eggman activity on Earth and Mobius and personally intervened in several instances. He helped Sonic the Hedgehog defeat the Chaos creature at Station Square and also helped shut down the Eclipse Cannon on the ARK and then helped Shadow the Hedgehog (indirectly) use the Cannon to destroy the Black Comet

After Shadow finished off the Comet, Tails revealed himself to the hedgehog, triggering further memories of the past. He asked Shadow to join him in a personal mission to alter the past in order to save the ARK. Shadow agreed and handed over the Chaos Emeralds. Tails revealed that he had modified the ARK's high-energy physics lab in order to create a time displacement unit, and the unit required the Emeralds Shadow had to generate enough energy to set off the reaction necessary to propel them to the past. However the energy surge attracted Eggman, and also Sonic and his remaining friends.

Eggman wanted to exploit the machine to reverse Sonic's victories against him. He was defeated. Then Sonic turned on Tails, afraid of the effects that Tails' changes could have on history. The two fought and ultimately Tails won, seriously wounding Sonic. Triumphant, Tails and Shadow entered the displacement area and waited for the machine to fully charge. Amy Rose however, would not let them get off easily. She damaged the computer that determined where they would end up, and ultimately displaced them into another timeline.

Attention Secret Police!
I'm not one of them and I think it's already gotten a little old.

Sonic Blast Wiki!
Yeah, for once I'm agreeing with SOTI. Secret police junk is over.

Sonic Blast Wiki!
Since when did we become Encyclopedia Dramatica?

Where is the Secret Police? Who are its members? WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR?!

The Secret Police are now Active.
You are interfering in police business. Lay down your weapon, and identify yourself.

What if...
Anyways, on topic I'd love to organize such a thing but I'm about to start college and I have zero income XD. But on an off chance, look for a guy in a RoboCop suit with a Tails plush squshed into the helmet.

Hello :D
Welcome to =SB= (or in my case, =TB= XD), I'm the resident RoboCop fox and one of the administrators.

A reminder on some points
It's true and we're going to be clamping down on it. No exceptions. We need to keep things professional and clean.

I have no mouth and I must scream.
You should already be aware of the rules her YHT. This isn't like Sonic Turbine so there isn't going to be much leeway on content such as 'fapping' and such like that. Keep things reasonable please.

My Problems
If all else fails, use the Jack Bauer method.

Kick down her door, shoot her in the kneecaps and ask her out. Two birds with one stone.

I believe an intoduction is in order.
If one wants to truly 'pwn', they must 'pwn' in old games. Welcome to the establishment. I'm the Security Operations Manager here and as everyone can attest, the loudmouth that speaks out against the XBOX, the Playstation and anything that doesn't have SEGA or MS-DOS tagged on it.
