Notes from the Terminator chronology
This story takes place in an unidentified future year some
time after the first RoboCop film, in an alternate
universe from that seen in either the main RoboCop
or Terminator franchises. It is also a different
universe from the one seen in the previous cross-over of
Terminator and RoboCop,
RoboCop vs. the
Terminator.

Didja Notice?
A clever twist on the arrival of a Skynet time bubble is
seen on pages 2-3, with the bubble manifesting right where a
man is standing, tearing his torso from his pelvis! (Don't
worry, he was just a hit man.)
On page 8, the LAPD squad car has the motto "to protect and
to serve" painted on the door. This is the actual motto of
the LAPD.
On page 10, Robocop appears to have walked into the battle
at the Cyberdyne building from
Judgment Day.
On page 12, the holographic image Skynet presents of itself
to Robocop is in female form. Possibly the writer or artist
was inspired by the female form of Dr. Serena Kogan used by
Skynet in Salvation (actress Helena Bonham Carter, though
the female figure seen here does not look like her and, in
fact, appears more "robotic" than human).
The information downloaded to Robocop's memory on page 13 is
presented to us as images of events from
The Terminator
and
Judgment Day.
On pages 20-21, Robocop uses a Skynet-built computer virus
designed to stop any Terminators that go rogue and shut down
and wipe its CPU (Central Processing Unit). Unfortunately,
he uses it against the Uncle Bob protector Terminator who
was working with Sarah and John.
John is wearing the Public Enemy t-shirt he was wearing in
Judgment Day.
On page 22, Robocop tells Sarah and John, "Come with me if
you want to live." This is a line used repeatedly by
characters in the
Terminator franchise. Then he says, "You have ten
seconds to comply." This is a line spoken by an ED-209 law
enforcement unit in the original Robocop film.
Unanswered Questions
How was Robocop able to travel back in time? He is mostly
metal, not flesh, so the time displacement should have torn
him apart.
