Synopsis[]
The WOMB organization holds massive protests across Delta City, accusing OCP of demonstrating unfair practices against women. Feminist author Rochelle Carney takes advantage of the situation to promote her own book. During the protests, a fringe group of women known as the Rad Femmes attack the OCP Chairman. RoboCop arrives on the scene to break things up, but gets spray paint across his chest plate for his troubles.
Meanwhile, Harold Hammersmith - CEO of Vetrocomp Industries is about to make a buy-out bid for OCP. Aiding him in this endeavor is former OCP executive Chip Chayken, but Chip has his own agenda for wealth and power. Part of his plot involves introducing a computer virus into NeuroBrain that threatens to destroy Diana Powers' artificial intelligence.
Conspiring with Rochelle Carney, Chip Chayken arranges to have the OCP Chairman kidnapped by two of the RAD Femmes. The Femmes keep him in an apartment where they force him to engage in grueling domestic chores.
While Lisa Madigan investigates the disappearance of the OCP Chairman, RoboCop learns that he is disconnected from Diana Powers, and labors to find what has happened to her, and thus save her.
