The Sonic Crossover Theory

I was actually playing around with the idea of crossing over the Sonic universe with Ayreon's Rock Opera 'Into the Electric Castle'.
With Sonic, Tails and Knuckles as the Knight, the Hippie and the Roman respectively, Silver as the Futureman, Amy and Rouge as the Egyptian and the 'Native American', Shadow as the Highlander, and either Bark or Robotnik as the Barbarian.
With Metal Sonic revealing himself as 'Forever' at the end of the album.


(Select after here for spoiler) As to explain my choices for the Knight, Hippie, Roman and Futureman; they are the only ones to survive at the end of the album

 

Robocop. ED-209 would make a rad boss.

 

This is Deviant Art + Sonic isn't it.

or Tezuka's Star System.

 

I wouldn't classify it as Tezuka's Star System, since that specifically states the the character models aren't matched to archtypes - an "actor" can have completely different roles and personalities depending on the work.

Most "Crossover" things of this style tend to characterize more on similarities than whether a "model" fits.

 

A good few years ago, a friend of mine experimented with a series of horror crossovers with Sonic in script format, all of which worked surprisingly well, partly due to his excellent grip of the characters. They were actually what re-energised my love of the Sonic series, and so I never miss an opportunity to plug them.

Jason VS Sonic tied in to the end of Jason X, where he comes crashing down into a lake on "Earth 2". He adapted this to being Never Lake, and Earth 2 being the setting for the Sonic games, which I wholeheartedly ripped off for my own stories.

Jason VS Sonic Part 1: Crash Landing
Jason VS Sonic Part 2: Chaos Theory
Jason VS Sonic Part 3: Back to Square One
REM Rebound: Freddy VS Sonic

And he had started on an Evil Dead crossover, but this was never completed.

One Last Descent into Madness - Unfinished

 

I'm gonna go with the fucking obvious here and say Dragon Ball, especially since a lot of Sonic characters are based off that series.

Son Goku: Sonic
Vegeta: Shadow
Trunks: Silver
Piccolo: Knuckles
Son Gohan: Tails
Chichi: Amy
And of course, Super Saiyans are the Super forms in Sonic and the Dragon Balls are the Chaos Emeralds.

Just to name a few. They're not necessarily identical, but damn are some of those close.

 

Watchmen.

Obscure characters only.

Do it.

 

Hey Spexfox, nice new creepy avatar.

On topic though, you have no idea how long I've been crossing shit over in my head for laughs. It accounts for why I laugh out loud almost half the time and no one else knows why. Here, I'll make one up right now. Crossover Sonic and the Flintstones.

Dr. Robotnik - Fred Flintstone
Rouge - Wilma
Blaze - Pebbles
Big - Dino

Sonic - Barney Rubble
Amy - Betty Rubble
Silver - Bam-Bam

OR...if there was a crossover between Sonic and the Magic School Bus...(what a disaster that would be)

Rouge - Ms. Frizzle
Espio - Liz
Vector - "CARLOS!"
Charmy - Arnold
Sonic - Ralphie
Blaze- Phoebe
Dr. Robotnik - Tim
Shadow - The Bus
Amy - Wanda
Cream - Dorothy
Wave- Keesha
E-123 Omega - The Bus

How obscure? If no one else (who might be a little more familiar with the comic) wants to give it a try:

The Comedian - Has Bean
Doctor Manhattan - Angelus the Gatekeeper
Nite Owl II - Old Man Owl
Ozymandias - Erazor Djinn
Rorschach - Metal Knuckles
Silk Spectre II - Sara

 

These are horrible.

 

Do want! Pardon me if that's a stupid question, I own TF2 (as part of the 360 version of the Orange Box) but I've only played it once and thus know little about the game, so how would I go about playing that mod?

 

The Ring

Sonic = Dad (reporter's ex-husband)
Cream = Mother (reporter)
Tails = Little kid (reporter's son)
Amy = Little girl in the well that comes out of the TV and kills them with her hammer after you watch a tape 14 days eariler. Alright, make it 7 days.... Shesh.
Shadow = Father of evil girl
Rouge = Mother of evil girl

----------------------

Horror movies anyone?

 

You need the PC version of Team Fortress 2, and join a modded server wich has the custom hats plugin and the models. I made both the plugin and the Sonic hat (the Eggman one is made by SefirotDB) for my clan's TF2 server but they're public for everyone who has a TF2 Sourcemod server.

 

Thank you, I think I'll be looking into that very soon.

 

Speaking of TF2 Sonic, it might be better to split the characters into two teams, fitting the BLU/RED - Hero/Dark settings. For instance, Sonic/Shadow as scouts, Tails/Eggman as engineers, Espio/Rouge as spies, etc.

 

While I suppose this isn't quite a crossover, I would love to see the characters in a Sin City inspired setting. Not really with the amount of violence, but in terms of style and effect.

Having said that, it would be interesting if a Sonic game was developed where each stage, instead of being strictly divided by their environment, instead adhered to a certain style taking inspiration from different mediums, such as the ones named in this topic. A post-apocalyptic themed area, a steampunk themed area, a film noir themed area, and so-on and so-forth. It would certainly offer some interesting stage design, at the very least.

 

Adding to that:
Class: Good / Bad

Scouts: Sonic / Shadow
Heavies: Big / Bark
Snipers: Silver / Fang
Medics: Amy / (Scratch?)
Spies: Espio / Rouge
Demomen: Knuckles / Bean
Engineers: Tails / Eggman
Pyro's: Blaze / Metal Sonic
Soldiers: Vector / (Grounder?)

Some of these are stretching it, I know. Assuming Bean and Bark are evil... but I think they were in the Archie comic?
