"ROBOCOP for kids"
That's... that's literally the live action Inspector Gadget movie they already made starring Matthew Broderick. A good hearted guy in law enforcement (security guard instead of cop in this case) gets his body demolished by the bad guy and comes back as a robot man to fight crime. I don't know how you could possibly be more true to that concept than the version they already made in 1999.
I even found this searching for clips on youtube. It's a fan trailer, but nothing in it is taken out of context. Aside from the serious music, this is the movie.
Does Bob not know about this, is he so afflicted with beetus amnesia that he's remembering that movie's plot as his own idea, or is he actually ripping it off and presenting it to his Twittertards as his original concept?
And no, the movie did not play gangbusters.
