What happens

RoboCop is a 1988 American superhero animated series based on the 1987 movie of the same name. The series was produced by Marvel Productions in association with Orion Pictures Corporation, and was syndicated by New World Television as part of the Marvel Action Universe programming block. The show made a number of changes to the RoboCop universe to make it more appropriate for younger viewers, including replacing bullets with laser weapons and shifting the series to a more science fiction setting. In this series, RoboCop had a red light in the middle of his visor (which occasionally panned the whole visor). It is set in an alternate continuity where events similar to those shown in the movie happened, excluding the death of Clarence Boddicker, who appears in the last episode. Ownership of the series passed to Disney in 2001 when Disney acquired Fox Kids Worldwide, which also included Marvel Productions, while Amazon MGM Studios remains as the current rights holder of the RoboCop franchise.
