The Ancients have been metioned in the series plenty of times so chances are the Crystals will be mentioned. After all, past Sonic cartoons series had Emerald Sagas (Except for SatAM which had Time Stone (SatAM) and Deep Power Stones, but almost same thing). Itihnk, no matter how many seasons Sonic Boom will have in the future, it is entitled to at least one Chaos Crystal saga.

Since he isn't allowed to appear in the series? i think lyric will appear in sonic boom series because he appeared in video game called: sonic boom: rise of lyric Chaos Crystals I can imagine returning. Lyric I don't really think so. Granted his fate after RoL wasn't clarified but he's too much of a serious character for a slighthearted show as Sonic Boom. but he already appear in sonic boom video game and characters who appear in video game will appear in tv show too I don't know what kind of mandates Sonic Boom have (I pressume same as Archie comics) but Sonic Boom is a cartoon catered for childrne, not for the SOnic fandom in general. And while such a character like Lyric would perhaps been an acceptable villain for such a show during the mid-90s, it's no longer the case for the modern audience due to what is deem a possible offence or not. For Lyrics case it could simply be because he's a rather serious villain while Dr. Eggman and other bad guys are just silly.

This is why when it comes to anyone who likes SOnic Boom too much, I'm like "Stop watching this junk and watch AoSTH!" AoSTH was pretty much the same kind of cartoon for Sonic Boom but better characters. I'd rather have Dr. Robotnik who can make being a cliché evil dictator a comical artwork than Dr. Eggman who make raids on the village now and again and be frienemies with Sonic.

An AoSTH/Boom crossove ris the top of my "want" list for Sonic Boom because I want Dr. Robotnik to show Dr. Eggman how it's done. Yeah, he was like the darkest version of any Robotnik I've seen in other media. Nah SatAM I'd say had the most "darkest" of Robotniks. AoSTH Robotnik was a villain for a kids show and more of an "Evil for the sake of being evil" sort of villain. Rbotnik would never kill anyone but only because standards for the show won't let him, but he was the sort to kick puppies, steal candy from babies and leave the toilet seat up. He was a childs understanding of evil.

SatAM Robotnik was more evil and founded "roboticization" as a means of slavery that enslaves both body and will which is something tyrants throughout our history had trouble with. He is also all for pollution and while his robotisized arm was accidental it could be possible he is a cyborg, self-altered to live well in poisoned environments.

The reason why my choice of crossover with Boom is AoSTH is because both shows were aimed around the same age of audience for their own time. Dr Robotnik of Satam compared to Dr Eggman of Boom is more sort of like Adolf Hitler, Genocidal, maniacal, desperate to conquer and destroy his enemies ruthlessly. I bet Boom Eggman would literally beg for mercy if he saw him. I don't know how Hitler went about personally but I agree SatAM Dr. Robotnik was pretty much a modern take on evil overlord, all the more reason why I choose AoSTH Dr. Robotnik because AoSTH is ideal to crossover with Sonic Boom. Both cartoons are catered for a much younger audience than their midcessors (Or whatever the word for successor and predecessor together is). Dr. Robotnik behaved comical and why AoSTH Sonic never taken him much of a threat and fought him and his robots in a goofy manner.

Problem I would have with an AoSTH/Boom crossover would be that Dr. Robotnik would perhaps have his evil toned down. You see, since 9/11, we live in a time of fear spun by the media, "terrorism" being the big scary word. I believe it's because of terrorism why most mdoern cartoons like Sonic Boom, and most other cartoons as well as video games such as Colours, Lost World and Rise of Lyric have been toned down in portraying violence is because censorship no longer approve of certain behaviors that are related to terrorism. For example scenes like Eggman using a missle to level a city or Eggman holding a gun against Amy's head would never pass censorship these days because they are assosiated acts of terrorism. It's a pity because I like it when Dr. Eggman behaves like a terrorist. That being said if AoSTH Dr. Robotnik appeared in SOnic Boom chances are he'll be less trigger happy and evil than he was during the 90s. I suppose if we make a character like Eggman act like he's an Arab terrorist with a gun in a kids show, that would spark a lot controversy with the censorship board. Even then, Terrorisms' always been around since the beginning of humanity, so it's generally nothing new. But I can't deny 9/11 as a terrible moment in human history though...
