We're on two different pages for the FoZ/AMS I think - mine has K1's family native to Halkeginia. I do agree Megumi is probably the best for a 'summoned as familiar' crossover, and worry for her would be enough to hook the other main cast in, or curiosity over what they're up to now and how to mess it up for Marller & co.
As for Vash's bullets, it's not like there aren't craptons of Earth mages and Alchemists around to make new cases/slugs and smokeless powder. -- "Anko, what you do in your free time is your own choice.

The Pacific Rim Job : Cooper Minis Vs. Kaiju . They don't assemble into a giant Cooper-Bot. A breach is involved : it's not the monster's.
Mythbusters: Jamie and Adam test Kaiju myths, made possible because there are now actual Kaiju to test against.
"So, to test the myth of kaijuu tropism, we've built a full-size replica of Tokyo here in the shop along with a full-sized replica of New York City. Jamie will release the kaijuu and we'll see which city it prefers to trash."
-- Bob --------- Then the horns kicked in... ...and my shoes began to squeak. 
"Don't ask us how we got the funding to do this, by the way."
I'd expect that figuring out where kaiju are more likely to appear to preposition defenses would be a high priority of the jaeger program, if this is still on the premise of being PacRim-verse Mythbusters. Quite likely all they had to do was pitch it at some point when there was at least some sort of plan being made to capture one for study.
Of course there were those kind of plans, practical or not someone would draw up the contingency, and with the financial burden possible ad dollars may also appeal. -- "Anko, what you do in your free time is your own choice.

(I'll be surprised if Gryphon doesn't riff on this....)
"Let's see how our guest star did in our Moderately Priced Jaeger, shall we...?" Ebony the Black Dragon http://ebony14.livejournal.com "Good night, and may the Good Lord take a Viking to you." 
In much the same way that Mars Attacks! showed Martians could be killed by country-western "music," so kaiju turn out to be ultra-vulnerable to ... stand-up comedy. Eddie Murphy, Steve Martin, Robin Williams, Andrew Dice Clay, and wise but shell-shocked veteran Don Rickles (you gotta have a wise veteran in flicks like this) are weapons of mass kaiju-destruction in Pacific Rimshot.
----- Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING.
Getting back to kaiju tropism, in the Superguy shared universe it's actually the smell of the fixative polymer in the brand of cheap fiberboard (and as general glue) used to fix Tokyo after its frequent destruction that attracts kaiju. Unfortunately it's the only economically viable option, and kaiju are only a once a month sort of thing while stupidly powerful teenagers (in every sense) wreck the place two or three times a week.

The Superfly (Dir. Quentin Cronenberg, 1972) : Nerdy scientist develops a cocaine powered teleporter that infuses him with badass soul. Much kung fu & biology ensue.
Noteable for it's even less inspired remake with a female protagonist, The Superfreak.

Grindhouse Nazi telepods are powered by such esoteric devices as the right hand of Hellboy (tm), the skull of Stalin (no tm) or a mountain of albino hell-puppies.
Do you have to set the chamber holding the mountain of hell-puppies to "Frappe" in order to use it? You know, like the Sacrifice Cannon from Maps?

If they are honest, boring Grindhouse Nazis, the setting on the the Frankenstein switch is labelled 'MURDER' : if they are happy, insane Grindhouse Nazis (the best, most entertaining type. The Red Skull should be of this genus.), the setting is, ROMP.
Enough over-analysis! (In this thread, any analysis is over-analysis!) Back to the Crossovers That Should Not Be!

V for Vendetta : Hamster eating aliens infest the British Government. The problem is that it's impossible to tell them apart from Thatcherites. The solution is : keep shooting!
Let's swap an early-rampancy Durandal (Marathon) with Doorknobder (Sailor Moon S), and see if anyone notices.
Doorknobder's a daimon, and Durandal runs daemons, so that's perfect right? -- ∇×V
"Akira!"
"Sergio!" Giant Mise en scéne battle with 70mm Panavision (R) cameras and plenty of Italian & Japanese ranting & raving.
Two and a Half Angry Men
Twelve Angry Men and a Baby

Seven Angry Samurai
