TR Contest Special: Best Crossovers That Never Happened, Sponsored by 604 Republic
 |
?The contest: We’ve all imagined a crossover or two in our day, whether we’ve been squealing with delight that the Doctor is hopping aboard the Enterprise in an upcoming IDW comic or just teaming Man-at-Arms and Panthro figures as kids. Well, this contest is for you to name those crossovers and team-ups that haven’t happened yet, but should.
The sponsor: 604 Republic, makers of find nerd shirts like the one above. They’ve been awesome enough to award five winners the t-shirt of their choice!
The rules: Three entries per person. Feel free to summarize a bit of the adventure you think the crossover/team-up should be about, although it’s not strictly necessary. There’s no restrictions in subject matter — comic characters can join videogame characters, videogame characters can join anime characters, anime characters can join TV series characters, whatever. Winners will be judged on awesomeness and/or hilarity, specifically my interpretation of awesomeness and/or hilarity, which doesn’t necessarily have any recognizable relation to popular interpretations of awesomeness and/or hilarity. The contest ends on Monday, March the 12th, at 12:01 am EST.
And that’s that. Much, much thanks to the awesome folks of 604 Republic for sponsoring this weekend’s contest, and for offering so many prizes, too! You kids have a great weekend, and please, avoid rail travel on any train with a face on it.

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
