Back to the Future Expanded Universe

[Pro Bot]

I guess we draw the line at Shark Boy & Lava Girl

That actually has connections, though. The same president from Spy Kids was in We Can Be Heroes, which featured Sharkboy and Lavagirl.

Also, the fictional brands from Tarantino and Rodriguez films are technically in-universe references rather than in-jokes.

 

[Pro Bot]

It's Twin Pine Mall in the Transformers crossover comic... I guess the first two pages are in the timeline where Brown gets killed by terrorists, with page 3 onwards being in the 1955 timeline where the first two pages happened slightly differently (due to being shifted to "Lone Pine Mall"). That, or the entire comic is a prequel.

Next time you watch Back to the Future, remember that Soundwave is watching off-screen.

Is it possible that the Transformers in the comic are alternate timeline versions of the ones from the Terminator crossover due to both being IDW

nope, different universe, I remind you that the 2005 and 2019 IDW continuities are a thing.

What are the differences between them?

 

[Megatron]

What are the differences between them?

One is set on cybertron, the other is MASSIVE and they're incompatibles.

 

[iceman109]

Isn't the 2019 universe the one where there's also JI Joe and MASK

Also, it's just cleaner to separate them anyway.

I think you could include LEGO Dimensions as a shifted reality where, after the Doc Brown advert, reality was shifted by the LEGO portal, creating a temporary reality where the level pack happens (the first movie, I think?), then the part of the main story set on January 1st, 1885. Once the villain is defeated, Doc Brown is returned to his place in reality and things continue as normal (not plastic bricks).

That'd be how I'd do it.

Maybe it's a pocket dimension

 

[Pro Bot]

Maybe it's a pocket dimension

Yeah, a pocket dimension created by the portal once Brown placed his LEGO minifigure on the portal base.

Would it be similar for Ghostbusters and Harry Potter

 

[Pro Bot]

Would it be similar for Ghostbusters and Harry Potter

Is there a reason it would be?

 

[iceman109]

Mostly because of them being "live action" universes

 

[Pro Bot]

Mostly because of them being "live action" universes

No, because they don't have any relation to their live-action counterparts. Back to the Future does.

 

[iceman109]

So the Harry Potter Lego Universes are completely different universes from the movies

 

[iceman109]

I always thought of them like snapshots from Fortnite

 

[stphylcccs]

Isn't LEGO Dr Who just canonically the Doctor in Dimensions…

 

[iceman109]

Isn't LEGO Dr Who just canonically the Doctor in Dimensions…

Yes, that's what I heard at least

 

[Megatron]

Yup.

 

[Megatron]

Isn't LEGO Dr Who just canonically the Doctor in Dimensions…

Yup, Just to get even more complicated.

 

[stphylcccs]

Soooo, when it comes to what's definitively canon to LEGO Dimensions, it's LEGO DC (video game continuity), LEGO Jurassic Park, actual Back to the Future (kinda), the LEGO Movie (depending on how you interpret the golden brick levels) and actual Doctor Who.

Though, Doctor Who is canonically part of the Marvel multiverse (they really wanted to hammer this specifically home - they straight up did a canon Doctor Who comic where he ends up in 616) so anything that's part of the Marvel multiverse is just… canon to LEGO Dimensions. We could've canonically had LEGO Marvel in Dimensions…

Which versions?

 

[Megatron]

Which versions?

Marvel ones.

Nowadays the line between them Is blurred, Just Stick with a general Marvel.

 

[Rojinn]

Doctor who crossed over with Transformers as well.

And with Star Trek, which crossed over with Marvel and DC

Do we know which incarnation of the Doctor visited the Fallout universe?

 

[barryh]

And with Star Trek, which crossed over with Marvel and DC

There are flux capacitor mentions on Star Trek and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman etc.

I really don't understand why everyone uses The Doc Who Never Was as the first timeline change, as this is clearly showing a post BTTF1 1962 Doc.
