RoboCop:
Freeze! I suggest you use your right to remain silent

Before I show your Gobot ass some Detroit violence!

I'm like an X-Wing commander 'cause I stay on target.

I take over these streets like I'm a farmers' market!

I wonder where the Cyberdyne research went

That they couldn't fix your funky Hans and Franz accent!

They sent you back to kill a child, but he's defeating you still.

They should have made a time-traveling morning-after pill!

And I didn't think I had any feelings left inside me,

But my heart was surely broken after Terminator 3!

I'm RoboCop, and I got the flow to beat 'roided-out C-3PO!

I got the mic control like alt, delete. Your move, creep!

The Terminator:
Wrong. I have detailed files on the conclusion of your trilogy.

That movie failed Detroit worse than the automotive industry!

I am T-800 Cyberdyne Systems Model 101,

And I'll be sweeping up your robo-bits like paperclips when I'm done!

My rapping attack is a massive dispatch of bazookas and gats and grenades

That rapidly bashes your brains and dismantles that puny pea shooter that fits in your leg!

We're not the same! You peel away my perfect skin, you find super computers!

You look like Krang wearing a cold press juicer!

They left off your balls when your suit was created!

"I still love you, Alex." Bullshit! Your sex life is terminated!

Based on my detailed analysis of the lyrical structure of battle raps,

It's time for your next shit verse, and then I'll be back!

RoboCop:
You don't know love; you don't know honor.

You only know a programmed robot boner for John Connor.

(Uh!) OCP gave me the skills to wreck this.

I can't help it if I'm fresh; it's my prime directive!

The Terminator:
I'll punch through your face hole and rip out your vocal cords,

Then mail your space helmet back to Geordi La Forge!

RoboCop:
Nice try, but I'm too quick on the draw.

What can go wrong for you will, creep: Murphy's law!

The Terminator:
Chill out, dickwad! Your emotions are wrecking your flow!

I couldn't find a decent rhyme in your line if I was in search mode!

You're too slow! I blow more steam through machines than a barista!

It's Judgment Day, baby. Hasta la vista!

General

 * This is the sixth battle where both title characters are fictional, after Gandalf vs Dumbledore, Doc Brown vs Doctor Who, Batman vs Sherlock Holmes, Rick Grimes vs Walter White, and Goku vs Superman.
 * This is the eighth battle with one fictional character going against another at any point in the battle, after The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come going against Ebenezer Scrooge in Donald Trump vs Ebenezer Scrooge and Stay Puft Marshmallow Man going against the Ghostbusters in Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters.
 * This is the third battle to feature a three-dimensional ERB logo, after Rick Grimes vs Walter White and Zeus vs Thor.
 * This is also the second battle to show the ERB logo in an animated style. The first was in Rick Grimes vs Walter White.
 * At the very end of the battle, the announcer, referencing the T-1000 from Terminator 2: Judgement Day, morphs into Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator to finish saying "Epic Rap Battles of History". Schwarzenegger is famous for portraying the iconic version of the Terminator in the movies.
 * Schwarzenegger's appearance makes him the fourteenth character confirmed to know about their battle.

Continuity

 * The Terminator is the second rapper to use the phrase "Hasta la vista". In Steve Jobs vs Bill Gates, HAL 9000 uses the line as a reference to the Terminator as it is a homicidal computer as well.
 * Coincidentally, the line was used as the battle's finishing line both times.
 * This is the third battle where both rappers have three verses after Michael Jordan vs Muhammad Ali and Zeus vs Thor.

Production

 * This is the fourth battle to have the rappers in front of the ERB logo, rather than behind it, after Artists vs TMNT, Ghostbusters vs Mythbusters, and David Copperfield vs Harry Houdini.
 * The two ED-209s who made a cameo appearance, were animated by Forrest Whaley, who also animated Zeus vs Thor.
 * This is the fifth battle to feature an A-list non-YouTube celebrity, after Moses vs Santa Claus, Gandhi vs Martin Luther King Jr., Michael Jordan vs Muhammad Ali, and Sir Isaac Newton vs Bill Nye.
 * This is the first time a character's real life counterpart has been on the set of ERB.
 * Discounting Arnold Schwarzenegger's cameo in the outro, this is the first ERB since Mozart vs Skrillex to be a Peter vs Lloyd battle without any live-action, shot cameos during the rap.
 * Not counting stunt doubles, this is the third battle to feature a rapper played by different people throughout the video, after Michael Jackson vs Elvis Presley and Doc Brown vs Doctor Who.
 * This battle advertises Terminator Genisys, making it the second battle to be used as an advertisement for an upcoming release, after Blackbeard vs Al Capone for Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag.
 * This is the third video overall to be used as an advertisement. The other is one of the Lewis and Clark vs Bill and Ted's Behind the Scenes, which was an advertisement for audible.com.
 * All three Behind the Scenes videos for the battle are titled as "Terminator vs RoboCop" instead of the battle's title, "Terminator vs Robocop".

Errors

 * In the iTunes cover, parts of RoboCop's arm are missing.
