Alien Shared Universe - Headcanon Timeline (V2.0)

Help Support The Comic Board:

The age of Dick Jones in Terminator/Robocop: Kill Human also supports a future setting, since he's young in the 1990s (by the way, that's a branched timeline where Robocop gets John Connor killed in 1995 during T2). Ronny Cox (who plays Dick Jones) was 49 in 1987, so:

1995 + 34 = 2029
49 - 34 = 15

He's probably in his 20s in 1995 and 50s in 2029.
 
So with this:

RoboCop 2 is set in 2031

RoboCop 3 is set in 2033

Prime Directives in 2040

Rogue City in 2032.


So Ik that this will still put some media after Outland, so after people starts to colonize planets, but i feel more comfortable as having RoboCop being created first as to me seems a more primitive invention than space travel. And ofc starting space travel doesn't mean that he can't still be operative.
Also all the comics being set just about everywhere, from pre-RC2 to post-RC3. One of them, Citizen's Arrest, should be 2059-2060, which is quite interesting.

interesting, I'll still stay with the 2030s frame, for now, if it becomes complicated i'll go with the 2040s setting of the novels.
 
It's probably fine as it is. As I said, the second Terminator/RoboCop crossover comic allows us to work out which timeline works best based on Dick Jones' age, and 2029 seems appropriate.
 
UPDATE #9 - EVERYTHING PUBLISHED IN 1987 HAS BEEN ADDED!

Ok guys and girls, now it's time to decide! Cos we've reached 1988, the year where the wilder expanded universe started, so we have to talk again about RoboCop, but its weakest side... The 2 Animated Series.

These 2 series are the weakest side thanks to big contraddiction.

RoboCop The Animated Series have Boddicker still alive even if he clearly died at the end of the 1st movie.

RoboCop Alpha Commando is set in 2030 reactivating RoboCop who was offline for 5 years (2025).

Now if we wanted to really place it where would they be set?

if we say that Boddicker miracusly survived, then we could place the series in between the 1st and 2nd movie and during whole 2030.

for Alpha Commando since doesn't have Lewis and also we have a comics which stated that RoboCop was active for at least 30 years (2060) combined with the fact that we decided to use the 2029-2030 dates for the 1st movie, meaning that all future dates have to revolve around that, so to avoid conflicts we could say that RoboCop goes offline in 2060 and gets reactivated in 2065, placing Alpha Commando there.

As you can see both animated series are veryyyyyyyyyyy weak in terms of continuity, so it's time to vote, and it will start now at my 8 pm and end at tomorrow's 8 pm.

So react with a LAUGHING FACE if you WANT the animates content to be added.

React with an ANGRY FACE if you DON'T WANT the animated content to be added.

P.S. Thanks for all the support guys!
 
See, then you have to ask about the live-action series too. Then it gets really weird. Hm...
I plan to add the series, the wiki takes both live-action series as canon, so ig it could work.

As for RoboCop The Series I planned a post- RoboCop 3 setting.
 
Okay, fair enough. I guess you can just assume the new characters are completely different people, or maybe go by multiple names if an exception is needed.
so According to the wiki, RoboCop 1-3, The Series, Prime Directives, the 2003 video game and Rogue City are one canon.

the 2 animated series are another canon.

All the comics are another canon.

The Remake is another canon.

Interesting interpretation.
 
I don't think all the comics are supposed to be one separate canon. A lot of them are in the film universe (post-RC3) explicitly, and some are an alternate sequel based on Frank Miller scripts. The Frank Miller sequels aren't intended to be in-continuity with the Marvel or Dark Horse comics.

it's separated by Publisher. Weird...

the other 2 are one linear canon.

PINNING THIS AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T SAW IT!
 
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoboCop:_Alpha_CommandoThe show also suffers from major continuity errors: during the first episodes, RoboCop's son is shown in flashback memories and appears to be around 10; however, he later appears to be exactly of the same age and even wearing the same clothing. The names of RoboCop's wife and son were also changed to Susan and Richie; however, this is explained in episode 10: after Alex Murphy became RoboCop, his family was forced to change their identity to keep RoboCop's enemies from locating them.

Maybe it'd be better to place it 5 years after the last placement before Prime Directives, since Ellen Murphy/Nancy Murphy/Susan Murphy is apparently dead in that show. 2038 or 2039 perhaps? It's messy but what can you do. I suppose RoboCop's son is older than he appears, essentially an adult the same age as he was in Prime Directives but appearing younger.
 
Will this include just Alien/Predator/Blade Runner/Soldier/Terminator/RoboCop/Buffy/Angel/Firefly/Serenity/Underwater/Outland or sth else as well?
 
Is RoboCop 2014 in this Universe or not?
No.

Why do I think that Alien and the Sladherverse somehow connects?
Like, do they?
No.

Red Dwarf...? Okay, I'm running out of suggestions
God, that'd be messy. Also, Doctor Who, but that shouldn't be included.

What about Death Race? Executive Decision? Event Horizon?
Interesting suggestions. Probably not, but I see your thinking.

Or... I don't dare to say it... Val Verde? (Commando, Die Hard, Supercarrier, Adventure Inc., probably more?)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Val_Verde_(fictional_country)
I like this one, haha.

Will this include just Alien/Predator/Blade Runner/Soldier/Terminator/RoboCop/Buffy/Angel/Firefly/Serenity/Underwater/Outland or sth else as well?
To be honest, seeing as Angel has "Weyland-Yutani", which shouldn't even exist yet, I never took that too seriously since it contradicts the Alien series. Firefly is fine I suppose, quite fun connection considering the state of Earth, maybe Weyland-Yutani in that show is connected to the Angel version, thus... Whedon-Verse. Underwater should just straight up be canon though, they specifically decided to use the less popular Weyland Corp logo from Prometheus on an original prop which actually fits into canon perfectly since it was used 2012-2099, timeline-wize. Also a shared sound effect from the Nostromo.
