Description
Hello again. This second WIP of my ongoing project ED-209 from Robocop 2. In this one there is a change of the original design. It’s the right gun on the right arm. In the movie it’s either missing or incomplete and I am changing it to flame thrower. Original design is there too, so tell me what do you like more…Also, this is unfortunately my last update for the next month. I will be working in another city and away from my computer. I hate to leave my work in the middle, but I have no choice…

Cool.
I wish I had one of these... I mean a fully functional one. Not one that has bugs and doesn't work properly.

I love Ed.
I like the flamethrower (although perhaps one in his mouth would be cool? -- would go with the sound it makes). I was going to ask about the ammo/tank for the thrower, but I assume that's what those tubes are for (and then also remembered that Ed doesn't wear enough ammo anyway, and that Robocop didn't have any in the third film).
The only other thing that I think Ed needed (aside from a better programmer), was some kind of manipulator. It'd be freaky if he had a tongue, no?
I also thought maybe a melee or cutting attachment might be good, and then realized all of that was on Cain.
Did you ever figure out where his mortar cannons were located?
Side notes:
With your Cain model, have you thought of re-designing that shoulder cannon? I never liked the way it looked in the film.
Ever plan on doing Number 5 (from Short Circuit)?
Pardon my rambling

I think I always loved Cain more. He is more complex you know...
Glad you did my flamethrower add-on... I usually don't change anything, but seem to be some sort of inconsistency in their model, so I sort of fixed it. And he doesn't have a mouth...
Hmm. what do u mean by "manipulator"?
Keep in mind, that I didn't really want to change it, just make it as is. The flamethrower is an only thing I added on. Unofficially too.
mortar cannons??? I found the smock grenades. But not sure about that....
To side note answer is: no. Coz I was trying to build it in 3D as it was back then. Remake it. But I know someone who went farther with it.. Send me a note and I will give you a link to his website.
No to #5. Don’t like robots like that. Sorry. However, I am aiming to do ABC War robot from Judge Dredd.
And by the way, thanks for checking out this section. I am glad that someone cares to look into it.

I haven't seen the second film as much as the first (and even less of the third), as a result haven't had nearly enough time to appreciate Cain. Design-wise, perhaps it's the odd waist that throws me off.
The manipulator comment comes from the fact that Ed has no hands. (then again, probably lacks the intelligence to use any)
According to robocoparchive.com, Ed was supposed to have mortars somewhere in his upper body behind that dome head (designed, but not used).

hmm... i don't think so.. in order to make him in 3D, i had to study ED pretty closely and never seen anything like it, but to be clear of all the confusions I am planning to submit a 360 degree render animation in vector style(so you see the details modeled) of ED209, just like I did of Cain sometime ago [link] as you probably have seen it already...

I like that flamethrower idea 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
and deninitely a challenge to simulate... any ideas?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
In maya? Hmm... either fluids or particles
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well... i know.. but i mean any idea how to do it.. i am thinking of attaching a piece of geometry to the gun. making it invisible and then attaching emiter for the particles to follow geometry, but that's going to be something i have never done in real life... got any ideas yourself?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If it's a flame thrower then I think a simple emiter and some forces would be enough for the gun (it basicly needs to spray the particles in one direction), but for objects that get ignited by it emission from geometry would be the way to go of course.... at least that's what I think.
