Default RoboCop 2 - 2010 or 2013?

What's the best version?

In Italy they are still selling the 2010 version, but I think it was a subpar transfer.

I guess they re-did the transfer in 2013 (surely 2K) for the new RoboCop box set.

Any clue?

RoboCop 2 let alone RoboCop 3, are not popular enough for the studios to gamble on remasters. Robo 2 or 3 don't even need it anyway, they look really good on Blu. It's the orignal that looks like crap which is being addressed with a remaster both because it needs it the most and because its a garentee seller. .

These films were released individually and altogether in the trilogy pack. I pre-ordered the remastered bluray of the original film a while ago and 2 I bought individually. Don't care to own 3. Peter Weller is the only RoboCop.

Robocop 3 never got an individual release. I just own the Remastered Robocop and the sequel. I have no interest in Robocop 3.

I thought it was the same for #2.

Oh, thanks for the info! Robocop 2 is now widely available in stores, but I never saw Robocop 3.

So is there anything that would hold up a 4k Robocop 2?

Same goes for RoboCop 3.
Nothing wrong with the transfers either.

Yep. To be honest, I will be very surprised if Robocop 2 or 3 get new transfers as they look about as good as they will ever do to my eyes - certainly a lot better than the existing Robocop transfer.

Robocop 3 has the prize for being the worst Blu-ray in my collection and that's only because its part of the trilogy set (which I bought to get Robocop 2!).

I had to do the same thing, I had to buy the trilogy set to get Robocop 2. I tried sitting through Robocop 3 again but couldn't do it. Robocop needs the new transfer.
