Clearly, i mock up of the Robocop ED-209, this was a fun thought experiment as well. How do you show off soemthing so powerful, yet so flawed, and make it interesting? Well this was my attempt:
EG-902 Level 5 Solo Soldier

The EG-902 is first to give warning. On its first turn if not
attacked or given orders before hand, it will give a one
round warning to all.
Easily confused
While under a charm effect a save can end EG902 rolls
twice and uses the lowest result.
Flawed Design

stairs. if EG-902 fails, it falls down the stairs and is knocked
prone.

That right there is a hard monster to beat. with good defences, high hp, and what not. But with some smart thinking, and and the right kind of abilities, it will crumble apart. Which is not to say it won't become a suddenly easy fight, but you can make what seems like a hard foe into a fight you can eaisly handle.
But Robocop fought these things multiple times, didn't he? so how do we do soemthing liek that with the player Characters?

The next fight he's a bit easier. sure he's a tough level 7 monster, but you can fairly use two, showing how much stronger the PCs have become. The next time, he's just a normal monster, move to artilery it's upper-cut now a standard action. After that? Minion. It shows a progression of the PCs and the world they live in without triviailizing any of their old accomplishments.
Sure they just blew up 6 EG-902s, but mechanically they are inferior to the one you fought at level 5. Even if story wise it is the same mechanical monster. It just shows the slipping faith they had in their once perfect combat golem. And paves the way for the EG-903.
