RoboCop: Alpha Commando is an exciting animated TV show. It first aired in 1998 and finished in 1999. This series is based on the famous "RoboCop" movies. It's the second cartoon about the hero RoboCop. The show had 40 episodes in total. It was shown across many TV channels.

RoboCop's New Mission

The story of "RoboCop: Alpha Commando" takes place in the year 2030. In the first episode, it was set in 2020. RoboCop, a cyborg police officer, wakes up after five years. He joins a special team called "Alpha Division." This team fights against a dangerous group. The group is named DARC. DARC stands for "Directorate for Anarchy, Revenge, and Chaos." RoboCop and Alpha Division stop bad guys everywhere.

Differences from the Movies

This cartoon series was written by many of the same people. They also worked on the 1980s "RoboCop" cartoon. However, this show is quite different from the original movies. RoboCop has many new tools built into him. These tools were not in the movies. For example, he has roller skates and a parachute.

RoboCop's Family Story

The show also has some story changes. In early episodes, RoboCop remembers his son. His son looks about 10 years old. Later, his son appears the same age. He even wears the same clothes as in the memories. The names of RoboCop's wife and son also changed. They are now Susan and Richie.

Episode 10 explains why their names changed. After Alex Murphy became RoboCop, his family had to hide. They changed their names. This kept RoboCop's enemies from finding them.

Familiar Faces

A character named Anne Lewis from the movies is not in this show. Her absence is not explained. Besides RoboCop himself, Sgt. Reed is the only other character from the movies. In "Alpha Commando," RoboCop never takes off his helmet. This is different from the movies and other TV shows.
