IDW announce another Star Trek crossover - And it may be the most gloriously nutty one yet!

[icon_uk]

io9 are reporting on IDW's next Star Trek genre mashup crossover

After Doctor Who, The Legion of Superheroes, Planet of the Apes and the Green Lantern Corp, who could it be with?





Yes, it's not just Star Trek vs Transformers, but it's STAR TREK THE ANIMATED SERIES vs Transformers!!




"The series—which will run for four issues—is inspired by the aesthetic and continuities from the cartoon iterations of both Trek and Transformers: the 1973 cult classic Star Trek: The Animated Series, and the original 1984 Transformers show."

Windblade is a little newer than that, but I can live with that incongruity (especially if it means more female Transformers appearing, as well as doubling the number of female bridge officers on the Enterprise to a grand total of two.

"The series will begin in the Star Trek universe, when the U.S.S. Enterprise answers a distress call on the edge of Klingon Space, only to find a dilithium mine under attack from 20th century-era jets and helicopters. When a certain red truck shows up to lend a hand, however, Kirk and the crew discover that there’s more than meets the eye to their new vehicular friends and foes."

This could be fun! :)

And so the TFWiki's article on Star Trek will be updated.

Hope someone adds "ruined forever" somewhere, too.

I remember seeing fanart of an Enterprise D Transformer back in the 80's... A Duobot that consisted of Saucer and Stardrive.

I wonder if we'll see that happen here? Or Cosmos as a Shuttlecraft perhaps?

We need a scene where...

1) Perceptor and Spock have a technobabble-battle.

2) Ratchet and McCoy collaborate for an operation.

3) Wheeljack and Scotty try to outdo each other.

"Dammit, Jim! He's a doctor and an ambulance!"

“You're a car, Arcee. Shouldn't you know how to build an engine?"

"You're a human, Scotty. Can you build me a small intestine?

[scorntx]

*splat*
"There."
"You... had a small intestine in your pocket?"
"It's one of Chekhov's."
"... "one of?""
"We keep replacements organs around fae him. Saves a lot of time."

I could believe that Windblade was a repurposed Diaclone.

[roxas832]

So is Kirk going to put the moves on an Autobot?

[cygnia]

Or a Decepticon putting the moves on Kirk?

He could make out with Arcee and it still wouldn't be as uncomfortable as watching Sam and Mikaela make out on top of Bumblebee in the first Bay movie.

[ozaline]

Very, cool. I think this could be fun.

Oh my god. o.0

[kamino_neko]

This looks great. I've liked all the other crossovers (except Planet of the Apes, which I haven't read), and the choice to use the TAS version is delightful.

Mress!

I want to see the Transformers say to Kirk "we're sophisticated robots. You can't try that Liar Paradox crap on us and expect it to work."

Apart from Swerve, who is standing somewhere at the back going... "... but if he's telling the TRUTH that he's lying then he MUST be lying.... " whilst Whirl looks on in sort of fascinated horror.

Curse you for making me want that scene now. CUUURRRSE YOU!

My chuckle is an EVIL chuckle...

[scorntx]

Hnngg...
See, I really, really don't like the amount of reverence the 80s TF cartoon gets.
Buuuuut... John Barber has shown via Revolutionaries that he can write glorious nonsense.
So, tentatively excited.

(I mean, if it was a Beast Wars / Trek crossover, that'd be something entirely different. 'Cuz 'em Maximals and Predacons were in the 23rd century.
... still, always Beast Wars: Uprising for that.)

And poor Chekhov gets left out.
But on the plus side, Chekhov won't get abducted by either Ravage or Laserbeak.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

I mean, they're going OG with both franchises here, so going to the 80's TF toon to match the Star Trek toon just makes a kind of sense...

[candescencearia]

Wait. Wait. Wait. There was a Doctor Who crossover? Why can I not find any information on this?

[lizard_of_aus]

Try looking for the title Assimilation2 (as in squared)
