There's a new overview of the Ro-busters strip in Starlord over at the (excellent) Comics UK site.

I would say both robusters and strontium dog strips from then belong to 2000AD, they own the characters and therfore the strips, certainly many of them have been reprinted before in 2000AD.  They probably don't own the strips that didn't make the leap to 2000AD nor the rights to the starlord title.

A robusters extreme edition might be good, but I'd like to see it get the proper collected treatment, as it's one of these ones which has only been patchily reprinted.

IPC owns Starlord (& Tornado) and their contents.  Rebellion own the characters, so IPC would have to give their approval - and they're not cheap as I found out for my own comic!

Starlord's Ro-Busters had my favourite piece of comic art when the rocket crashes into a high rise tower a la 7/11.

The 'space hotel' five-parter was definitely the best, including the brilliant panel where grinning robots tell the reader "We do all this because robots LOVE humans..." "We're your HUMBLE SLAVES!!"

All mere panels before the slaughter begins...
