I don't know how many people remember this, but RoboCop was supposed to be future history back in '87. So let's see if we can make a TL that reflects the movie, minus the cyborg cop bit. Now I don't have the film at hand but I did see it some 2 weeks ago, so these are the relevant details that I remember:
Pretoria is a "besieged" (by Africans, presumably) white-ruled city-state possessing a French-made neutron bomb.
There is a Peace Platform that is part of the Star Wars program.
Detroit is even more crime-ridden and its police department is privatized.
A component of Star Wars misfires and kills Santa Barbara, killing 3 (?) former US presidents among others.
Artificial hearts exist.
If anyone remembers anything else it would be helpful. Let's say that this was supposed to be 2000.
