There are so many subtropes that I think a collage would overlap too much, but we can brainstorm some ideas if people are interested. I agree with moving the pic to Pendulum of Death.
I agree with the move. Dunno about anything else.
(Annoyed grunt)There is an Image Links page... I like the one listed as "overkill death trap"◊ (from The Great Mouse Detective), but I don't know how legible it is if you don't already know the context.
I tried some searches for similarly ludicrously redundant death traps but haven't really found anything yet. I did find this◊, which I find amusing in its simplicity. "When I asked 'Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?', this is not what I had in mind..."
The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable^ That second pic and caption combo could definitely work.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Move it.
Check out my fanfiction!Agreed.
I was thinking this image could also work for a replacement for the trope

I think I prefer 4.1. It's about as close to a collage of death traps as you can get without actually having to make one.
I like Morgen's idea of 4.2 + aforementioned caption. 4.1 is a bit too weak on the "trap" part for me.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?8 is already used on Distressed Dude, but perhaps we can replace that one with a colored version?
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"That sounds like a good idea

Clock is set.
she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportI think there is support for moving the current to the subtrope, the question is just whether we can find a replacement for Death Trap or should leave it blank. Since at least some suggestions have come in, here's a crowner.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Thanks, it's hooked.
Going ahead and bumping this; both options are tied right now.
Votes bump...only one in the green, might call this tomorrow if there's not a big shift.
Calling this one. I've uploaded the new pic, but I haven't put it up yet because I was hoping someone could 'shop the original speech balloon into the smaller version. Is it legible enough as is?

I can read it, but it wouldn't hurt.
(Annoyed grunt)Dont forget to update Pendulum of Death.
(Annoyed grunt)
Looks good.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"The new version looks great. It's in on Death Trap and the old pic and caption are moved to Pendulum of Death. Caption?
Nothing on a caption; locking up.
Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:
Pendulum of Death now has its own subtrope, so it would make sense to move the current page image used on Death Trap there. What would we replace it with however? Most of the types of death tropes all have their own pages. Perhaps a collage?
