ED-209

thumb|right|A re-creation of ED-209 displayed with a Spartan (Halo)|Spartan at a [[Maker Faire in 2014.]] The Enforcement Droid Series 209, or ED-209 (pronounced Ed Two Oh Nine), is a fictional heavily armed robot that appears in the RoboCop franchise. It serves as a foil for RoboCop, as well as a source of comic relief due to its lack of intelligence and tendency towards clumsy malfunctions.

==Appearances== The Enforcement Droid Series 209, or ED-209 (pronounced Ed Two Oh Nine), is a heavily armed robot, with twin cannons on its left and right sides, a large, oblong visor much like a cockpit (despite the robot piloting itself) and legs with backwards-facing knees. It serves as a foil for RoboCop, due to its lack of intelligence and tendency towards clumsy malfunctions. For instance, during a boardroom demonstration by Dick Jones of ED-209's "disarm and arrest" procedure with a board executive named Kinney as the test subject, in which Kinney is given a pistol and told to point it at ED-209, ED-209 fails to recognize that Kinney has dropped his weapon and blasts him to death in over-the-top fashion with its automatic cannons. Later, it is shown that ED-209 cannot climb or descend stairs as it tumbles trying to chase RoboCop. The ED-209 is featured in every RoboCop major motion picture, while it is missing from the series' direct-to-video releases, and the television series features an ED with a different model number.
