Well that answers the question of whether 2040 supports Fusion capability. In 2032/3 it's a design feature as is the "Abotex."
The 33S model of Sexaroid was banned for one reason going by dialogue in Midnight Rambler. If modified with C-Class parts it gained the ability to synchronize with "Super weapons." Super weapons apparently meaning things like the DD Battlermover that were highly computerized, as opposed to some particular level of capability or firepower. Part of the plan involving the 33S's escape from Genaros was that the DD Battlemover would gain additional effective training from the use by the 33S in no small part due to the syncronization ability. Although they were somewhat concerned about the results if she syncronized with the J-1. While it is clear Sexaroids are out of the public purview enough they're more a Urban Legend then a confirmed fact, based on Nene's reaction, they always were very particular that it was _that exact_ model that was banned. Unless the subtitles didn't translate it properly I think Sylia would have worded it differently if Sexaroids being banned was given. Besides which, other then GitS had a company who used Ghost Dubbing on their Sexaroids, and Genom seems like a company who such activities wouldn't be beyond, what reason is there to associate Ghost Dubbing technology with this particular model?
As for Robocop, they definitely were aware and referencing to some degree. One need only look at the movie scenes in Scoop Chase.
