'''''[[RoboCop]]: Prime Directives''''' is a 2001 Canadian-made miniseries set in an [[Alternate Continuity]] thirteen years after the [[RoboCop|original film]], starring Page Fletcher as the titular cyborg police officer.
In the intervening years after the events of the first film, Delta City has become fully owned and operated by OCP, while Robocop/Alex Murphy (Fletcher) has remained in service for over a decade. Murphy's also showing his age, and is scheduled to be retired by OCP because his parts are out of warranty. In addition, his now-grown son James has become an OCP executive, and his old partner John Cable has returned to the city to become the company's new security commander. By the end of the first episode, Robo is forced to kill Cable, who is subsequently reborn as Robocable, the second prototype for the once-defunct Robocop program. Murphy teams up with an anarchist group led by Ann R. Key ([[24|Leslie Hope]]) to stop Cable, OCP (which are now hunting both Murphy and Robo-Cable) and David Kaydick, Ann's ex-husband and a disgraced OCP scientist who plans to use an organic virus to destroy everyone in Delta City.
Line 10:
''Prime Directives'' is a polarizing work for fans of the franchise. Some praised the miniseries for throwing out the "kid-friendly" elements of the previous series and third movie in favor of ultra-dark storytelling and copious amounts of violence, while others derided it for the acting, production values and comic book-like plot.

* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: Murphy has become quasi-suicidal and angsty in the intervening years between the first film and the miniseries, while Robocable gets a conscience twice during the series (once when he decides to assist Murphy in "Meltdown", and again in "Crash And Burn").
* [[Asshole Victim]]: Damian attempts to leave the OCP building in "Crash And Burn"', and first gets shoved down an elevator shaft by Sara Cable (breaking his legs) and then gets his legs and hands cut off by the building's automated laser defense system before dying.
