::::"Crossover" is a bit of a grand word for DH. Yes, if you follow the Death's Head character from start to finish then you have a connection between the Marvel UK Transformers to the mainstream Marvel universe. Since the Seventh Doctor is integral to the story of the original Death's Head (he's the one that shrinks DH down to humanoid size with the Master's Tissue Compression Eliminator, and he's the one that dumps DH off on top of the Baxter Building) there is a kind of oblique "crossover" between the DWU and the MU. | |||
::::However, it's not a crossover at all, in any sort of business sense. The Doctor was always a part of the Marvel Universe, from the moment Marvel acquired the license. They were just mixing and matching Marvel UK characters. Many comic scholars postulate the existence of a single entity called the "Marvel UK universe" — which I'm sure today has a numerical designation in the way that Marvel like to number their universes — to which the Seventh Doctor and DH mutually belong. Thus, if they are part of the same universe, there really is no basis for the term "crossover". You can't crossover if you're part of the same universe! {{user:CzechOut/Sig}} <span style="{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}">01:39: Fri 24 Feb 2012 </span> | |||
