Early Crossover Forces

This page covers the earliest version of Crossover Forces created during the closing chapters of Toon Wars: The Final Days.

## 2019 Version

While no scripts had been produced at this time, in concept, Crossover Forces would have taken place during the events of the Final Days involving the newer generation of Cartoon Network shows fighting to stop the Virus Entity in a different environment. This early version of the plot was never expanded beyond the idea, but a cover for the crossover was posted in the same year.

## Early 2020 Version

The final plot remained roughly untouched, but several changes to the scripts and characters had to be made, with several minor roles being absent from the final version.

### Unused Mighty Magiswords Character Roles

* Professor Cyrus, Alex, and Gracy were going to participate in the final battle against Black Hat and Catra, giving Mao Mao Bimm's Magisword to replace his own. However, when the idea to have the Toon Force frozen so as to not disrupt the Horde Empire's plans came to be, the scene depicting it was scrapped and the characters remained frozen.
* Throwaway lines were scripted for Alex and Gracy as a hint for a future Magiswords-centered story revolving around them. But they were left out the final version for reasons unknown. This Magiswords-centered narrative would eventually evolve into a crossover between it and OK KO for Venomous Syndicate.
* Both Vambre and Prohyas were going to be mind controlled by Black Hat to give him his Whirlwind copy and possibly serve him in the final battle. This too was shelved to fit in with the idea that the cartoon's assets were paused by the reality controls.

### Early Catra Battle

* Mao Mao, Victor, and Valentino originally would have fought Cyber Catra together. Though, seeing the parallels between Mao Mao and Catra herself, Frozarburst chose instead to have the sheriff face her alone in the first phase of the fight. He also felt as though the other two characters didn't add anything to the scene at large as much of the dialogue was aimed towards Mao Mao with a relatable history.
* In the second phase, Catra was going to quote several lines from the song, "*Mean Green Mother from Outer Space*" while shooting and moving to the rhythm. This was scrapped to keep the eerie tone consistent and to respect those who didn't understand the reference. Concept art shows her saying this directly to Mao Mao while in her bridge chair, suggesting that this would've been used for the first phase as well.
* Cyber Catra would've been a lot faster in taking out the heroes' magiswords and wouldn't have broken Geraldine, Mao Mao's actual sword.
* Adorabat's Homing Beacon Magisword didn't do nearly as much damage to the hull of the Invincible compared to the finished draft. It only weakened Catra slightly while tilting the ship a few degrees to the side.
* The rest of the fight was a lot more complex in its earliest form, taking it both on the dreadnought and the rough waters beneath it when it descends to depict Tulip and Adorabat in a scene reminiscent of Kylo Ren's duel with Rey in *Rise of Skywalker* (But let's face it. After the film's release, Frozar knew he didn't want it in his crossover).
* Catra wouldn't have attempted an escape. Simply losing her robotic arm to Mao Mao's sword when he catches her by surprise was enough to get her to stop.

### Unused Betrayal Scene

Right after Blue Hat thanks the heroes and wishes them a goodnight in Chapter 13, an entire scene was scripted to take place where he, Catra, and his henchmen celebrate over their success thus far in the story, revealing his true nature to the audience. Though the scene itself was completed, it was scrapped before release to keep the twist a secret for the following chapter.

### Unused She-Ra Content

* Shadow Weaver was going to appear in the castle as a prisoner like in season 4; scrapped when Frozarburst preferred to keep the story set in season 2. Had the scene been left in, she would have been quietly cutting rotted roses in an enclosed garden while the Battloons outside were being destroyed, casually ignoring the explosions.
* Adora had more to say while the rest of the characters remained mostly silent. She also would have rode Swift Wind to rescue both Max and One-One from their fall to the surface.
* A scene where the expedition group of the Javelin popping out of hyperspace and beaming Max and One-One aboard was never scripted and unused in the final version.

### Final Battle Prototype

* There was never a rebellion in the original. Mao Mao, Entrapta, Emily, Tanya, Max, and Bob were the only ones who fought back.
* The look of the city after Black Hat takes control was seemingly unchanged; only appearing amidst a blank skybox and the Fourth Wall halo. The battle would have made the pitch black floors the heroes and villains fought on shatter like glass if damage was taken.
* Catra's appearance remained the same, not once getting distorted by Entrapta's Glitch Gun.
* 505's design, in concept, was mostly unchanged for the finale, only focusing on his dialogue and actions. Badgerclops also would have fought him without an Echo Commando chassis, mostly throwing heavier blows with his left arm.
* Entrapta was going to attempt to disable all the Battloons remotely with a shrunken Emily and the assistance of Bob. However, 2 of the ships still would have left for Max to go and destroy.
* Though only dialogue was written in regards to the fight, Dr. Flug originally had his own boss fight against Victor and Valentino. What he would have used against them is unknown.
* Hedgehog's transformation into a merged Werehog was meant to be prompted by Oscar, not Bob. She also wasn't going to be used as a lab rat by Flug.
* None of the civilians of Toon City would have been able to do anything throughout the fight.
* The reality controls were somewhere beneath the surface down a long pit in the earliest version of the fight, which Catra was meant to fall into. After absorbing the controls, the resulting transformation also would have shot the villains up to the skies far across the city, knocking all but Black Hat out from the impact of their descent.
* Black Hat himself was going to be defeated much differently than how he was come release.
	+ Tanya and Mao Mao's ultimate attack didn't have a name, but was going to have them throw a fist to spawn an aggressive version of Cattus.
	+ Another version had the two shapeshift into Cattus and Bimm themselves instead of shooting an energy construct shaped like them.
	+ Black Hat would have been kicked off the edge of reality where Catra fell before being shot into the sky by her transformation.

### Viral Catra's Defeat

Unlike much of the scenes that were altered only once, Viral Catra's defeat had two versions that handled her confrontation differently.

* In version 1, the expedition group of the Javelin were meant to return early, prompting the heroes to immediately ask Danny Phantom for help when they have no clue what to do. He then summons Nicole Watterson via a meager phone call, leading to her scaring Catra out of her new goddess form and de-aging her into a toddler (much like how in *The Amazing World of Gumball*, Nicole scared someone into aging forward in The Limit).
* In version 2, Mao Mao and Tanya's final attack was similar to its release counterpart, but their dialogue and the setting itself were different.
	+ Since Toon City wasn't teleported directly to Despondos like in the final, Catra was instead aiming through the warp tunnel used for the Battloon Fleet to erase Etheria.
	+ Tanya would have held the same hilt as Mao Mao rather than using the Whirlwind Magisword.

### Early Ending

* Mostly following version 1 of Viral Catra's defeat, Black Hat returns here to announce his return, only to be memory whipped by Jimmy Neutron with his Forget-Me-Ray. He would then be told that the Toon Wars had not yet concluded and that he should return to his manor until the threat could be averted. In a later storyline in the legacy series, his memories would eventually return to him in time for his biggest plan yet.
* Mao Mao and Tanya's kiss at the end was going to be slightly different, starting right after warping back to Pure Heart rather than the time gap in the released version.
