You could win one of two Mass Effect Alliance Normandy SR-2 Replica Ships! This is officially endorsed as Commander Shepard’s favourite contest on the Citadel.
All you have to do to answer the question below. The funniest or best answer will win the top prize (one of the ships with an inflatable Omni-Blade). The second best entry will also win a replica ship.
Please note these are replica ships and as such are NOT life-sized or capable of actual space travel. They will look pretty damn awesome on your gaming shelf though!
Question: In your fight to save the Earth, name your ideal four crew members (picking one in each category) to join your Normandy from the following options:
• A fictional animated character
• A character from any other BioWare game
• A Star Wars character*
• A member of the Big Red Barrel staff
Additional credit will go to those with funny brief explanations of why these crew members would work well together.

Bioware character: Shale (Dragon Age). His constant positive atitude will pull the team together in times of strife.
Star Wars character: Adimral Akbar. Not only does he look a bit like Mordin Solus, but he also provides xcellent trap-detection.
BRB staff-member: Jon. He shall be chief engineer and provide updates on whether or not the Normandy can or can not “take much more o’ this cap’n.”
destruxion
Animated Character:
Buzz Lightyear. Why? He’s Buzz Friggin Lightyear! The size of his chin alone is enough to stop the evil plans of Zurg, and he has an awesome Laser on his wrist and a jetpack.
Bioware Character:
Canderous Ordo would be my choice. He has the leadership qualities and fighting abilities needed to allow the success of our mission to end the Reapers. Also the Mandalorian backup would be great.
Star Wars Character:
Boba Fett. Another Mandalorian who was unmatched in combat until a freak accident allowed his demise, and even then he was not finished (read the Expanded Universe, haters). Boba Fett was the only person who could match Darth Vader’s level of Bada$$ and could make demands of the Dark Lord himself. Having him at my back would be nigh on unstoppable.
BRB Crew:
Dogsdieinhotcars ability to bore almost any creature to death with his long explanation of clerics and their different attributes, along with his extensive knowledge of computer building and even more his MMO-based vocabulary would be the proverbial straw that broke the camels back of the reapers. I also think that completing his loyalty quest would be an interesting endeavor. Mormon-based side quests and clerical humor would be integral to his character, making him the most diverse character in the Mass Effect universe.
This crew, as you will know after reading it, would be the deepest and most powerful crew to traverse the galaxy, and I would be unstoppable.
JaffaKira
Animated Character:
Batman, because at least someone on this squad needs to be prepared.
Bioware Character:
Jabba the Mutt (aka my Bloodhound in Dragon Age) Wouldn’t even need a loyalty mission, he’s THAT loyal.

Star Wars Character: R2-D2. I want a good logistics and hacker to help maintain my ship and my equipment.
BRB Staff Member: Jitterbug. I want someone that can critically analyze my mission and point out every hole in my plans or other ideas. And someone that is knowledgeable about Star Wars and call on the mighty power of Force Rant to help us in battle.

but she is still BA

Technically you are in fact correct. She is engineered to fail but for the most part she would be great for the team. I was going to go with The Meta but I like Tex’s personality better.

• A fictional animated character – Samurai Jack. Nobody remembers Samurai Jack, but I do. His skill with a sword is unmatched and he will slice the enemy with his blade of intense SAMURAI JUSTICE. Loyalty mission? Defeat Aku…mainly because he never got a chance to do it in the show. I mean really. WHAT’S UP WITH THAT!?
• A character from any other BioWare game – HK-47, who also doubles up as a Star Wars character…so I get two SUCKERS! I mean, what about HK-47 isn’t endearing? He’s a human hating, smart talking, shoot first, ask later, tough as nails droid. And he’s loyal to you.
• A Star Wars character – Han Solo – Because when you’re that efficient with a blaster, you need to be on a squad that is shooting things. And really, how fast can the Normandy complete the Kessel Run? In MORE than 12 parsecs, I’ll tell you that much.
• A member of the Big Red Barrel staff – Yoshifett. If there were anyone on staff who’s sheer hipster attack power could bring down fleets of Reapers, it would be Yoshifett. That and I love him.

Dekester
Fictional Animated Character : Soundwave and the cassetticons (Did they ever really give them a name?). Laserbeak, Ravage etc would be handy for external repairs on the Normandy, and Soundwave would just have to read all my emails to me because is voice is awesome.
Character from a Bioware Game : Minsc and Boo from the Baldur’s Gate series. Minsc for his comic relief and solar reflective scalp, and Boo the space hamster for his natural “synergy” with Frawlz.
Star Wars Character : R2-D2. I’m sure we could retrofit him with a little seat to help Joker get around, plus EDI needs her data-ports filled like nobody’s business. He and Soundwave were frat brothers, so they’d get along fine.
BRB Staff : Frawlz. His skills in telecommunications as well as personal relations would make him an ideal communications officer, plus we could use his toilet “jettisons” as extra ordinance to defend the

ze_silent_killer
Ok here goes:
Fictional Character: Goku I mean come on this guy has energy literally coming out of his hands, you’ve seen enemies burned by incendiary ammo but you’ve never seen anything until you’ve seen Goku fry geth with his bare hands.
Other Bioware Character: This might be a bit controversial but I know Joker is an amazing pilot, but who flew us out of Taris and can quite clearly take care of himself at FTL speeds? Carth that’s motherfuckin who! (beg your pardon, I get excited whenever KOTOR is mentioned)
Star Wars Character and BRB Staff Member: These two come as a combo. First off you gotta take Princess Leia. On this ship you’re gonna get lonely and now I n’t know about you but I don’t want Goku touching me with those hands that could fry me at any second. Instead I go for the princess (Awesome!) but she’s not just eye candy, she seduces the enemy to get close and allows the next quad member to strike (ok technically she is just eye candy).
When the princess brings the enemy in close I use my secret weapon… Jon (YAMSTER!!!).Quick as a flash mm sottish comrade hikes up his kilt and shocks the enemy into a heart attack with the site of what is/isn’t down there (thankfully I don’ttt know whats down there and never plan to find out, thats what Leia is for)
McSeagull
• A fictional animated character
I’d say for a fictional animated character the obvious choice would have to be Rapunzel from Tangled. Not only would her cast iron pan serve as a melee weapon when we ran out of thermal clips but of course we’d have a magical healing hair nurse on board. Plus, she’s been cooped up in a tower her whole life, I think a trip around the galaxy would be quite an experience for her.
• A character from any other BioWare game
For this choice I’d have to pick Doc out of marital obligations in SWTOR. He’d provide some nice sarcastic banter for the group and he knows his way around a blaster. Also, in the unfortunate event that Rapunzel’s hair was cut, we’d have an actual doctor to fall back on.
• A Star Wars character*
Obi Wan would be a pretty solid bet here. Although he gets his ass kicked by old guys who moonlight as evil wizards, you know that if it came down to it he could turn anyone into a multiple prothesis user, including but not limited to former apprentices who stray away from the light side.
• A member of the Big Red Barrel staff
Fisherman would be my BRB staff of choice. Based on his podcasts, I know that he would always have some interstellar brew on hand. After a long day of reaper razing, I know I could use a solid IPA or porter. And you can’t forget that The Fisherman’s got a pretty good voice and could be our inebriated diplomat who I know we could also count on to decorate the Normandy with some sweet nerdy things (http://www.bigredbarrel.com/2012/02/most-creative-gaming-memorabilia/)
So to sum it up, magical healing properties of Rapunzel’s hair which she will trade for a tour of the galaxy, the old ball and chain husband who can make everyone laugh and stay alive through the miracle of kolto bombs, a master Jedi who can deal with mutiny amongst the ranks with his trusty lightsaber, and finally, a beer connoisseur who can liven up the industrial interior of the Normandy and bring some good old Davey Jones Locker stories for us to keep in mind so that we don’t make dumb mistakes that turn us into Reaper fodder.

A fictional animated character:

Half cat, half reptile, whole HERO.

The “Two fighters against a Star Destroyer” Rebel from the Hoth briefing. His firm grasp of reality keeps the squad in check, reminding everyone of what is achievable and what is a suicide mission.
A member of the Big Red Barrel staff
YoshiFett. His biotic power, “Denial”, allows the entire squad to cover their ears and watch the Reaper problem disappear before their very eyes. The very same power that was famously used to defend a series of terrible sci-fi prequels..
krm266
A fictional animated character
Goku from Dragonball Z– He will be the main offensive force on the squad using a spirit bomb to take out a considerable amount of the reaper fleet and cleaning up with some kamehamehas. This is going to take him a good 20-30 episodes to charge up the spirit bomb and an additional 3-5 episodes to actually fire the thing.
A character from any other BioWare game
Zevran Arainai from dragon age – Zevran will be the distraction. Let’s face it, it’s not below Zevran’s capacity to seduce sentient machine warships. By sleeping with as many reapers as possible he’ll buy Goku the time he needs to gather energy for the spirit bomb.
A Star Wars character*
The Emperor – The Emperor will be able to provide death stars in the fight against the reapers. Everyone knows death stars are the ultimate weapon against reapers. This is because reapers are far too big they can’t get into the death stars trench and find the space station’s ridiculous design flaw of a 2m exhaust port that when struck with proton torpedoes will destroy the death star.
A member of the Big Red Barrel staff
Jon – We’re going to need someone to document the whole event and publish it into a book to spam his twitter feed with. Title of the book has already been chosen “Taking Back Earth – 48 hours of Persistence, Protheans and Pizza”.
McNally
A fictional animated character:
Green Lantern. A space-cop wit “the most powerful weapon in the universe” seems well suited for large scale space battles and he would also be able to handle working with other races for the greatest good.
• A character from any other BioWare game
Anders from Dragon Age Orgins and DA 2. Having a healer ( or a cleric, if you will) would probably be a good idea. Having someone who could use magic offensively as well would be good because there shouldn’t be any defenses against it in the ME universe. As an added benefit, he likes cats….
• A Star Wars character*
Darth Revan from KotOR. He’s got crazy force powers, can train is pretty much any star wars weaponry, is a great leader which would make him an invaluable second in command. Also, he’s willing to make the hard decisions for the greatest good.
• A member of the Big Red Barrel staff
Jitterbug. Everyone should have someone at their side willing to tell them when what they’re doing is stupid or idiotic or crazy or dangerous or wouldn’t fit with the story or is just unpleasant to his sensibilities. He would be my trusted advisor/strategist.

MacGyver
Fictional Animated Charater – Invader Zim: can build weapons of awesome destructive power and with his help ‘clean, lemony-fresh victory shall be mine!’ Wanting earth and/or it’s destruction for himself his idiotic determination will at very least be a fly in the reapers ointment while the others dish out some pain!
Bioware character – Morrigan: she’s stupidly powerful, she’s hot, she’s bad ass and you know she’ll make for a hell of a paramour story line 😉 While others take cover she will be dealing some up-close-and-personal damage to the repears.
Star Wars character – R2-D2: Trying not to go for the obvious choice of droid but after careful deliberation… R2 is The S**T! He can talk to almost any ship/computer, make running repairs on the Normandy (will be like Joker’s right hand droid). His beeps and squeaks also provide endless amusement. The ability to talk to and manipulate computer based systems wil undoubtably be an essential skill when battling the reapers.
BRB staff member – Jon Brady: Like me, collects a never ending mountain of stuff, kitting him out with a plethera of things that can be sticky-taped to a gun/ship/train in any number of combinations in order to overcome any and every situation imaginable. Plus, he’s Scottish… there should be more Scottish people in games… maybe.
The greatest aspect of this team may be the inevitable duo of Zim and R2, with R2 taking the place if the rather awesome, but dim, Gir. Only diffirence being, R2 dont take s**t from no one.

Fictional Character: Rand al’Thor
He has balefire and the True Source… By extension we also get the Asha’man, an army of Aiel, Mat & Perrin… Really? I could sit on the couch and wait for humanity to rebuild itself and Bioware to come up with Mass Effect 4.
Bioware Character: Kang the Mad
He invents stuff… most of the world will be gone and he can make my vision of perfection come into reality. Plus he’s insane which will be funny.
Star Wars Character: Bale Organa
If by some odd chance my flying creation wielding a balefire spewing Rand al’Thor happens to fail… I know that Bale will flee from the scene even after watching children be murdered. *Mental note* stay near his shuttle at all costs.
BRB Member: PacManPolarBear
While my first thought was Frawlz, and his ability to nuke us all in case my perfect plan failed, I chose PacManPolarBear. Why you ask? Simple, T-shirts. Given the insane amount of shirts the man wears on a regular basis, I know that he will never fall in battle. In effect his simple clothing will in result in a +1,000,000% increase to his shield.

Sovereign the reaper. After being defeated by the heroes previously, Sovereign was left dead. Until a mad science experiment went wrong and put Jokers brain inside the ship! Now Joker is the reaper ship, And acts as the crews Pilot/ship/wacky comic relief. He would also have sweet “ship relations” with EDI.
A Star Wars character
Boba Fett. This does not even need to be discussed. The universes greatest bounty hunter joins you in your quest to defeat the reapers, As he now has a burning hatred for anything that is giant and has tentacles or tentacle like appendages for obvious reasons.
A member of the Big Red Barrel staff
Dan. He would be the captain. Given the nickname “Captain Average” in space badass academy, Due to his excessively un-average nature it was quite ironic. He would be the charmer, The sweet talker, the negotiator of the group. His silky smooth British tones would bend the universe into submission. Failing that his team or a tactical orbital strike.

A Member of the Big Red Barrel Straff:
YoshiFett
He,is the key member of the team because he would probably be the first to tell you that Mass Effect was originally slated to be the next old republic game, but was changed at the last minute because the powers that be wanted the next old republic game to be an MMO, so they made a few tweaks and changed a few names and BAM, Mass Effect was born. The only thing that might derail YoshiFett from being a productive member of the team is he might be a little distracting to the rest of the team, constantly geeking out and asking them questions about other people in the Star Wars Universe.

1. Allstar Seaworthy (Snorks) – You won’t think it’s stupid when you finally land on a fully water planet (core and all) and he’s able to win that intergalactic underwater pole vaulting competition.

Fictional Character:
Scott Pilgrim. His fight for his love proves that he will never give up. And he’s a total badass that knows a lot about gaming, music, movies, etc. which makes him entertaining to be around.
Bioware Game:
Hk-47. The assassin droid that just won’t die, has a great shot, and is a loyal soldier. He survived through multiple games, and can kill anybody that i wish, without question.
Star Wars:
Revan (Pre the TOR MMO when they made him get owned by players everyday). Revan is a beast of a force user and he would replicate the biotics in Mass Effect. Not only was he one of the greatest jedi that ever lived, he has already saved the galaxy before.
BRB Staff:
PacManPolarBear. Nuff said
Plan of Attack:
Scott pilgrim will play his bass guitar (badly) which will stun the enemies, followed by Revan who will do some crazy jedi tricks, killing or maiming the enemies, followed by me and Hk-47 opening fire on the remaining enemies. Meanwhile PMPB will be in the background organizing groups of rabid gamers to our cause, creating an army to battle the reapers.

Thanks to everyone that entered. I will be finalising a decision and will announce the winners as soon as I can. There are a lot of responses and a lot of good ones. So, I think it will take me a while longer to go through than I first thought. I will announce the winners tomorrow (This is NOT influenced by me playing entirely too much Mass Effect 3 this weekend. HONEST. = )

I put the following up on the forums yesterday, but just realised that it did not appear on the front page. now it does = )
And the winners are…barrel roll please…
The Grand Prize goes to ***DeadpoolSkye*** I did know Samurai Jack and he was a bad arse, HK47 was almost the only correct answer, I liked your explanation for including Han Solo and Yoshifett seemed suitably Star Warsy and who doesn’t need a hipster on the team.
Second Prize goes to ***Richie boy*** mainly as I really liked the visual image of these four team members together and thought they would work well as a team. You didn’t mention that Kenny is practically immortal, but this helped sway my final decision anyway. toothysmile
Honourable mentions goes to Kim266, Farko, Veritable Hero, NeoMax 2K and MRAHchnoz. Good answers that came close.
