The ED-209 series was developed by Dr. McNamara who intended them to be the latest in crime prevention machines that were to be produced by OCP. However, due to the existence of Robocop, the need for ED-209 robots was dropped.
McNamara developed a new improved ED-260 model, however, there was still personality problems which made it ineffective in combat situations. This unit was tested against McNamara's new OCP Powersuit being piloted Lieutenant Hedgecock who defeated the ED-260 in combat training. (Episode: The Man in the Iron Suit)
The doctor produced at least three more ED-260 units which remained at his personal lab. These were reprogrammed by a Middle Eastern terrorist cell which attempted to assassinate a rival. They activated one improved unit which was sent against Robocop but was destroyed. When the cybernetic detroit cop arrived at McNamara's lab, he had to face two more ED-260's which he managed to defeat. (Episode: A Robot's Revenge)

The newer ED-260 models were more advanced but still had several defective elements within its personality. One element of its programming was not being programmed for failure making it persistent in its operations. Similar to the ED-209, the units contained blasters in its arms which were used to destroy its targets. (Episode: The Man in the Iron Suit)
The ED-260 possessed a track based system allowing it to drop on its legs and drive through the landscape to search for its target. When reaching its destination, it returned to walker mode. In addition to the arm blasters, the unit was capable of launching the arms at a target which was propelled through a rocket. (Episode: A Robot's Revenge)
