Hi. 
I believe this topic was raised briefly on the old BOH Message Board before, but didn't really take off despite some good responses, and especially with the advent of the Crossover Convention S4 Episode (which I didn't like much but thought very novel; nice characterizations of the other series, writers!) I thought why not bring this up sometime again?
So if you could cross Bucky O'Hare and the poor lil' Aniverse with any other series in existence (and this doesn't have to be just for you fanfic and S4 writers ^^; ), what would your ideas for that crossover be even if you never plan to write them? Someone mentioned an Earthworm Jim crossover in the previous Message Board; Come on, don't be shy with them...
...But in all fairness, I'll go first. ^^; My idea of a BOH crossover, well, crosses over with the Mobile Suit Gundam animes (although not with any Gundam series or settings in particular) and generally goes like this:
In the year Confederate Rise 0091, the long-standing and complacent Earth-Ring Confederation of Earth is fighting a civil war with the armies of the Space Colony Alliance, otherwise known as the Patricians. Three months had passed since the start of the war; despite having superior numbers, the Confeds were defeated by the Patricians' mysteriously advanced technologies, the latter fielding powerful Maser Cannons and even Mark-2 Photon Engines --- you guessed it, the Patricians have Aniversian Technology somehow! --- on their own warships and 20m-ish humanoid machine weapons known as 'Mobile Suits'. In desperation, the Confeds turn to a mysterious source for catching up to the Patricians' technologies...
On July 5, CR0091, the Confed Supply Ship 'Augustus' arrives at the Icarus Research Base to pick up and transport a new prototype Confed Mobile Suit that was only codenamed the 'Corsair'. It was an advanced Mobile Suit with power never seen before; it mounted the first Mark-3 Photon Accelerator ever seen on a Mobile Suit and a generator powerful enough to also support MS-exclusive Photon and Maser Weapons (previous Mobile Suits only mounted shell-fed weapons because no MS Generator was powerful enough to support both Maser Weapons and a Photon Booster), and was a Mobile Suit designed to turn the tide for the Confeds. Unknown to the Augustus, though, it was tailed to the base by a Patrician warship under the command of Colonel Rayna Sadaltry, who mysteriously looks like a grown-up Willy DuWitt...
An attack on the base by Patrician Mobile Suits causes a young pilot --- 18-year-old Tina Greydon --- to stumble upon the Corsair prototype and start it up; using its power, Tina manages to fend off the first attack and, during the Augustus' subsequent escape from the base, fight against Rayna's own attacks against it as well. After the Augustus managed to shake Rayna off, the Corsair was renamed the 'Corsair Gundam' due to its resemblance to a Confederate Mobile Suit of the past, also named a Gundam, and Tina officially became a pilot for the Confederate Space Forces. Eventually, the Corsair's power prompts the crew of the Augustus to try to find answers in the Patricians' technology headstart at a hidden Patrician base, where they encounter Rayna once more; Rayna warns the Augustus that they're getting into more than they could bite off, but it was too late. Rayna and Tina fight, and both their Mobile Suits activate their Photon Accelerators at once --- and both them and the Augustus then disappear...
When Rayna and Tina come to, they and the Augustus had ended up in a strange world that Rayna recognized: the Aniverse, and none other than a more powerful Toad Empire force greets them upon their arrival. To avoid the Toads, Rayna leads the Augustus to an abandoned Genus where he eventually reveals the truth: Rayna was Willy DuWitt, who originally was the human Engineer here for the UAC that once fought the Toad Empire in the infamous Toad Wars. Slowly, the Toads began winning; eventually, they mustered a force large enough to attack and invade Genus. Despite a valiant defence, Genus fell, the UAC was destroyed, and even Willy's longtime friend Bucky O'Hare was critically wounded near the end of the battle; it was all Willy could do then to take the Righteous Indignation --- and a wounded First Mate Jenny --- and attempt to escape to his world, but he accidentally manages to warp himself more than 300 years into his own future in the process! After Willy arrived, and hoping to prepare the Earth against a Second Toad Wars, he taught the Space Colonial Armies the secrets to Aniversian Technology in the hopes that the Toads would find even better resistance, but instead the Patricians decided to use those weapons for their own civil war twelve years later.
Seeing his mistake, it was Rayna/Willy who then leaked the same Aniversian Technology to the Confederation, and that ultimately led to the creation of the Corsair Gundam...
Eventually, Rayna/Willy upgrades the Augustus' own engines to a working Mark-5 Photon Accelerator so the Augustus could leave, but end up fighting their way through a larger Toad Empire fleet led by none other than an upgraded Toadborg; despite the Augustus managing to fight through and escape, the Corsair Gundam was severely damaged against Toadborg and the Augustus likewise damaged. Worse, however, was that in their desperation Willy was careless in his leaving; with the Augustus' photon trail, the Toads now had a positive waypoint to the Universe and KOMPLEX's long-awaited invasion of the Earth Sphere would soon begin...
