But if those tyres are filled with air it makes them completely useless for armor as more than half of the tyre is unprotected.
Btw by the time this movie pans to reality there is no need for armor plating of wheels, we will have airless tyres by then.

And, this is coming from a hard-core Robocop fan. These are definately aerodynamic
AND armor mods, but probably 30% aerodynamic and 70% armor, although are a bit over enthusiastic, those wheel skirts are probably Carbon Fiber. Half of that car is probably an alloy/plastic! In the future I envision, petrol is $50 a litre so they are obviously going to make every increase in fuel efficiency possible.
At least thats the fantasy I tell myself.
The reality is that these are a really lazy wank to armor plating everything, although paradoxically they are actually pretty good aerodynamically:
Notice the moon hubcaps on the side wheels in that ad.
The number 6000 is probably an advertisement of its weight.
This car apparently was envisioned, manufactured, for exactly one purpose in mind,
ramming things, in a world where everyone needs to own fuel efficient cars.
Maybe in the future all EPA MPG ratings need to be the apsolute worst case?
There is no end to complete screwups in this movie:
Though it made some interesting music occur:

Notice the front block in this pic:
I fully expect there to be a Turbocharged I4 Hybrid underneath there which makes this thing have an epic power/weight ratio.
Again, the car's primary purpose appears to be,
ramming things.
Which makes complete and total sense when you live in a world like this:
A tip towards a future popular car manufacturer?
Sounds vaguely familiar.
What I would give to have the more innocent days back:
Here is the rest if you want to watch them:
Also... Robocop is a
Robot, the movie(s) is about a
Robot (actually cyborg), The movie(s) in the 90s was all about pandering to the bloodlust of teens back then
and also showing them the mighty technology that was going to kick their asses for Truancy someday.
Tech is hard-coded into the script of RCop movies. No doubt about that.
Oh and I'm still waiting for my armor helmet and HUD, I'm looking at you Google Glass. (*whisperon* It would sell really good in the Hood./*whisperoff*)
