Robocop is stalking down Boddicker when Nash(q.v.) drops a swedge of steel girders on top of him, trapping our hero.

Boddicker, sensing an advantage, picks up a metal pole and stabs it into Robocop's chest. Apparently even robots feel pain, as he lets out a scream, despite the fact that his metal chassis has no nerve endings.

Victory would have been Boddicker's were it not for Robocop's interface connector with OCPs mainframe to being so sharp and pointy.

Extending this connector, which conveniently doubles up as a 6 inch titanium spiked knuckle duster, Robocop stabs the spike into Boddicker's neck, severing his main artery.


Boddicker gets it in the neck from Robocop

Boddicker staggers backwards, clutching his neck as jets of blood squirt out, and after a suitable period of time gasping in disbelief, Boddicker keels over.

Firstly, he has nerve endings. And second, Boddicker didn't hit them. Victory WOULDN'T of been Clarence's either, how the hell could Boddicker of affected him if RoboCop turned from distressed to hunky dory and ready to kick ass in a few seconds?

Remember, Robocop is a CYBORG. He is half human and half machine. The biological part of him has nerve endings.

Actually I think his armor would be carbon-fiber composite rather than metal - they just didn't know about that in 1987.

Now that exsanguination is a category, y'all should add this death to that heading since Clarence bleeds to death after Robo nails him.
Comment 4 by 'Alex Klarfeld' (reply to this comment)
I do indeed agree with Cybercat. Futhermore, I think we should also add two more categories-Broken Neck and Revenge. Seeing as how I don't think that the bones in Clarence's neck were going to stay in one piece after Robocop gave him the Hector treatment. Revenge because Robocop DID want Clarence to pay for that tearing Murphy to ribbons incident in the beginning of the movie, did he not??? One more suggestion, Ironic, given the fact that Clarence wanted to stab Robocop dead, but it happened the other route, if you get my drift. Anyway.

Exsanguination? He did seem to die from (extremely) severe blood loss once his jugular got severed.

God point, that might work.
