By dint of the overwhelming evil of [Omni Consumer Products (OCP)](https://robocop.fandom.com/wiki/Omni_Consumer_Products), I’d say yes. Though, I haven’t revisited the original for well over a decade. The villainization of the drug gangs certainly depicted a lawless subculture, but it all seems like a world on the precipice of being dominated by computer technology, and so more like a sci-fi update of the classic copaganda / western revenge tale with a heavy mega-corp theme.

  1. Megacorps own and control everything, cybernetics are the norm. Feels very cyberpunk to me.

    On paper, Robocop ticks all the cyberpunk boxes. Still, it doesn’t *feel* cyberpunk to me. Perhaps it is too near future? I’m not sure.
