Notes from the Terminator chronology
This story takes place in an unidentified future year some
time after the first RoboCop film, in an alternate
universe from that seen in either the main RoboCop
or Terminator franchises.
Didja Know?
Robocop versus the Terminator was a 4-issue
mini-series published by Dark Horse Comics in 1992. A 1994
video game of the same name for the Sega and Nintendo gaming
systems was loosely based on this mini-series.

Didja Notice?
The action of pages 1-3 is repeated from pages 1-3 of
"Robocop versus the Terminator" Part 1,
suggesting that RoboCop has now caught up to the future war
seen in that earlier chapter (and is about to change the
timeline on the next page).
Though dogs don't like Terminators, on page 7 we see that
they don't mind RoboCop.
RoboCop creates an army of RoboCop-Terminators to fight
Skynet's army of T-800s on the Resistance battlefield.
The fantasy simulation provided to Murphy by Skynet on page
23 implies that Murphy is attracted to both Dr. Marie
Lazarus and Flo, besides his wife.
On page 24, Skynet seems to take on a face that appears to
be similar to Murphy's.
On pages 30-31, RoboCop, having traveled back in time to
destroy Skynet before it gains consciousness, destroys an
orbiting satellite to do so, implying that Skynet's main
intellect was housed there.
