RoboCop To Go Through Four Different Armors In 2013 Reboot?

Drew McWeeny over Hitfix.com is reporting that the new RoboCop will go through 3 armors before getting to the right one, the 4th. The armors will consist of an updated version of the classic 80's armor to highly technical futuristic version, which is where the film is set.
Basically the new Robo has been tagged as a "Transformer" on quite a few movie rant sites. Below also tells us that there's definitely going to be a few more changes to the characters, like Lewis now being a male character, but still Murphy's partner though.
Here's McWeeny's quotes on the new armors and the parts of the script,

In the film, when Murphy is turned into Robocop 1.0, it’s described “a high-tech version of the ’80s suit.” Then they show a focus group scene where criminals laugh at the design. “He looks like a toy from the ’80s!” So they redesign him to look “meaner” as Robocop 2.0, who passes focus group approval. So they not only make sure to include the original design, they also point out it’s dated and stupid.
Hold onto your sides for more hilarious “Robocop” details. They outsource his construction to China.
And we meet the ED-209s in the field in Iran, where they’re used to subdue suicide bombers.
Ahhh… now they just dropped Robocop 3.0 onto an Al Queda training camp to see what he does. “He should be programmed to incapacitate in all scenarios.” “Agreed. Let’s keep him PG-13, Dr. Norton.” No. No. No. No.
By page 54, they are already onto Robocop 4.0, who looks like a “cop on steroids painted metallic blue.” Oh, god… oh dear god… Robocop is a Transformer. He goes from “social mode” to “combat mode” and back. Full transformation.
It’s tough to determine tone on the page, but “satire” seems low on their list of priorities.
Okay… the two “best” lines in the script. First up is at the unveiling ceremony for Robocop in Detroit, from a TV reporter covering it. “I think it’s safe to say that Alex Murphy is now part man, part machine, ALL COP!” Yes, I too remember the original poster, asshat.
Second, after the traumatic first meeting with his father, Alex’s son retreats to the apartment of Lewis, Murphy’s male partner. The scene ends with the action line “David sits, catatonic, looks at the TV — MGM REMAKE TBD.” It means “to be determined.” They haven’t decided which of their other movies to plug with that clip.
Someone shows Pope, head of the OCP project, some mock-ups for Robocop action figures. “Are you kidding? I wouldn’t buy that for a dollar!”
I’ll say this: once the script stops all the winky-winky crap and just starts telling a story, it’s not terrible. But it’s way too late.If you can get past Robocop The Transformer, there are some interesting action beats. And I’m sure Padilha will direct the hell out of it.

In a way, I like the change up. This means that no one can really compare it to the 80's original, because this is totally a different film in every way, shape and form. The setting is in the 2020 something, Lewis is a guy, every other characters names are different, the look and feel will be different, RoboCop himself is going to look dfferent.......I like it!!!
