The Terminator along with Sarah Connor and John Connor are inside the cyberdyne building setting up charges to blow up the building and any evidence of the future technology.
Robocop is sent in to stop them as he arrives to see the Terminator using a gatling gun and switching over to grenade launchers.
Robocop scans the terminator in infrared mode and sees that he is not human.
The Terminator looks down at him and immediately recognizes him as a cybernetic system.
The Terminator's mission is to protect John and Sarah Connor and prevent it from entering the building. He heads down to the lobby to cut off Robocop.
Robocop's imperative is to bring the fugitive Sarah Connor and her son into custody Dead or Alive.
Robocop: Dead or Alive, They're coming with me, Creep.
I wouldn't call the original version of Robocop a tank either. He was susceptible to small arms fire as well. Didn't a squad of police officers nearly kill him? Either way i think the newer version of Robocop has a great chance given his agility. Both Robocop and the Terminator have inconsistent feats of durability. At one moment the Terminator seems nearly indestructible and the next it's being blown apart by a low grade homemade explosive. The same goes for Robocop, one moment he seems impervious to all sorts of munitions and explosives and the next he's being held at bay and at times nearly killed by small caliber rounds. I think physically the Terminator is more powerful and more durable but if Robocop can out maneuver the Terminator i think his armor and agility will win. If the terminator gets ahold of Robocop it's over though

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991)
Synopsis (staragra.com)
Nearly 10 years have passed since Sarah Connor was targeted for termination by a cyborg from the future. Now her son, John, the future leader of the resistance, is the target for a newer, more deadly terminator. Once again, the resistance has managed to send a protector back to attempt to save John and his mother Sarah.
IIRC he was badly damaged by ED-209 before that and even when they were firing at him I don't think they were hurting him. He just couldn't get up and walk away due to the prior beating and he couldn't and wouldn't fight back against the cops.
Current day Robocop would massacre oldschool protocol. One ed 209 beat the hell out of original Robo in the current day Robocop those thousands of rounds you were talking about for the orginal were made up for in a matter of seconds by the three ed's in the current movie

If the purpose is to kill the Connors then they die in that scenario. Terminator comes down to the lobby and robocop just jumps up a few stories past it. Before the Terminator can get back to the Connors it's too late.
If the purpose is to kill each other my money is on robocop.
How would Robocop kill the T-800? It's literally impervious to Robocop's weaponry.
