I'm so excited! This week Guillermo del Toro started releasing viral videos to help in the marketing of the kaiju fest that is Pacific Rim! OMG you must watch now. And check out the frickin' cool blueprints below. This movie just begs to be made into the greatest roleplaying game ever.
Below you will also find blueprints taken from Screenrant. These are Jaegers. A Jaeger is a gargantuan robot that has two human pilots in the head with one controlling the left hand side and the other controlling the right. The Jaegers are what humans use to fight off the Kaiju in the movie Pacific Rim. And if you don't know what kaiju are, the word means "strange beast" in Japanese and is basically Godzilla, Mothra, and Gamera. You get the picture? You will find my analysis of each Jaeger design in the captions. |
| ABOVE: The Russian Cherno Alpha. I love the way the head looks. It's kind of a cross between a cylon helmet and that of a knight's jousting helm from the Middle Ages, only with huge cannons on the shoulders. |
 |
| ABOVE: The Japanese Coyote Tango. This looks like a smaller, swifter Jaeger. My guess is that it is highly maneuverable and we can expect to see some karate-style moves in this particular robot. |
 |
| ABOVE: The Chinese Crimson Typhoon. Note the multiple arms. My guess is that this thing will break loose with some really awesome multiple arm spinning action and probably flame throwers of some kind. I'm sure Kaiju will not like fire. |
 |
| ABOVE: The Australian Striker Eureka. This thing is gonna be a massive slice and dice warrior Jaeger. Just look at those blades on its forearms. Plus the huge reinforced chest makes me think we'll see some real pro wrestling moves from this baby. |
 |
| ABOVE: Finally we have the American Gypsy Danger. It almost looks like the head can recede into the body. The arms look like they have some kind of missiles in them. But most of all, my eyes are drawn to that huge dish in the center. I bet some kind of Death Star super laser comes out of that to totally melt faces. |
It's Pacific Rim just in time for Christmas. I hope you are looking forward to this movie as much as me. It's quite possible I may be more excited about this show than I was about Prometheus.
Have a great weekend.
