On a design note, Tacit Ronin and Striker Eureka screamed Armored Core for me. You can even find their parts in-game.

i usually come out of a movie theater thinking to myself it was a pretty entertaining movie. but this one... THIS ONE... i came out thinking AWESOMESAUCE and i must watch it again when i buy it on blu-ray! and i have never ever purchased any blu-ray movie before. that's how much it impressed me. it totally had nothing to do with me being a mecha fan. yup. no siree!

Spoiler for Kaiju's secret revealed if there is a sequel in the future...:

Hannibal put two and two together when two Kaiju went a beeline for Hong Kong. He points out how much a dumbass Newton is. Two Kaiju Category 4 were sent just to kill Newton. So Hannibal sends Newton as far away from him as possible. He already lost an eye from one of those public shelters. |

Come to think of it...after being reminded of BETAs with that silicon-based lifeforms bit, the whole kaiju drift reminds me of Muvluv Alternative.
Wow. Imagine if they came up with something like a live-action SRW film, along the likes of Pacific Rim's cinematography. I'd be jizzing buckets glued to my seat all day long.

Oh, and here's another guy who would fit right in with the Jaegers. Seriously, a Revolving Bunker or the Claymores would have fit a Jaeger like a glove.

Gipsy already used the plasmacaster in a manner similar to Alt Eisen's Revolving Bunker, repeatedly even! Granted, those were just point-blank shots, nothing like stab-and-shoot...but the thought still counts. So Raleigh's almost there.
I'd love to see more Super Robot-inspired and Real Robot-inspired Jaegers. More from Armored Core, and some from Muvluv Alternative, personally speaking, if there's going to be a Pacific Rim sequel.

I mean. Think about it. Gpysy Danger lifts its feet how high when ever it takes a step? About 30-40 feet? Imagine if you took an Abrams tank and dropped it 30-40 feet a couple hundred times. How good of shape do you think it would be in? Not very! Especially when you consider that there's MUCH more weight involved in these impacts than with a tank. That's not even going into how much Gypsy Danger should weigh realistically. 2,000 metric tons is impossibly light. If you took an average six foot human male who weighed about 170+ pounds and scaled him up to the size of a Jaeger, he'd weigh in excess of 6,000 metric tons. And THAT'S a being of flesh and bone. Not an armored battle machine. From an engineering perspective, the idea that a Jaeger could have deployable swords/plasma cannons in its arms that it uses for fistacuffs is a pretty small leap compared to the idea of Jaegers in the first place.

My past comment remains in effect; if the giant monsters can even exist, then by that measure so can giant robots. Indeed, Kaiju bodyparts have been harvested and used for their unique properties. The laws of physics applies to both sides. To build a giant robot in the Pacific Rim universe is just another form of reverse engineering. You know, like Mecha Godzilla.

Though the idea of using a Kaiju's skeletal system as raw material for a Jaeger's body would be amusing. Especially if you decided to make it explicitly clear that only Kaiju material was physically robust enough to be formed into something like a robot.

Oops, can of worms accidentally opened.
But still, while hard science isn't by any means a main focus of this film, it's still difficult to suspend the disbelief when you're already predisposed to the mechanics of it. For instance a Chinook can lift no more than 10 tons while the average Jaeger weighs 2,000 tons. You'd be needing at least 200 helos just to carry a single Jaeger....man, the nerds that we are... |
