Ok not a crossover I would have expected. I'm going to take a guess that this is based off the original series not Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040. I really can't judge this at the moment but I'll get an eye on it anyway
I noticed several times in BGC fics the idea that boomers are going rogue at the drop of a pin. This is quite false. In the three OVA series that form the BGC universe Bubblegum Crisis, Bubblegum Crash and AD Police (ignoring the AD Police Files and BGC 2040 atrocities) boomers rarely go rogue. In BGC only the BU-33S sexaroid are actual "rogue boomers" and they were from a class of boomers that is so close to humans as to be nearly uncontrollable. All the other boomers wreaking havoc were acting under orders. In Crash we only see a boomer uprising as a result of a mass viral infestation by Largo/Mason. In AD Police we see two actual rogue boomers and they don't exactly prove too competent, acting more on an instinctual level. The idea that GENOM would tolerate or support random robot attacks on the public doesn't make any sense, as I believe they would try to maintain a good image of their products to their buyers.
) which have a wealth of information on the setting.
As for the human disguised robots those are very rare combat/special operations models which have no businesses appearing randomly and attacking people. The rarely appearing rogue boomer would usually be a waitress or labor boomer. I recomend getting the Bubblegum Crisis RPG books (there are about 3 of them floating around

I do have copies of the RPG books as well as the BGC OAVs. Crash is not figuring into this (and you're right about the atrocities of the other two). You're also completely right that all havoc-wreaking Boomers are under orders in the OAVs, usually from Mason or Largo, like Mason's bodyguards or the ones that kidnapped Cynthia.
I've relied more on the OAVs than on the RPG books, though, and yes, I have gone with the old fanon fallback of fake 'rogue' Boomers. It gives Luna something to smack around, if nothing else.
I hope this gets continued someday soon!^_^
