So while the rest of world is locked in a life or death struggle, the Euros are just chillin', drinking wine and eating cheese.
Sort of like real life today ;-P

No, they're still throwing futile temporary solutions at an economic crisis of their own making.

I hope to gods that we get more Jaegers in the inevitable sequel. I'm thinking "Pacific Rim: Atlantic Theatre" as a name for it.

Scandinavia (based on Iceland), France, Brazil and South America should get their own jaegers next time.

There are two unannounced Jaegers left according to the viral documents. Both of whom would be stationed in South America. Tacit Ronin and Diablo Intercept are their names.

I wonder if they'll show up in the movie at all, or if they'll be used as material for supporting products like the comics and games.

Isn't there one final Jaeger that hasn't been revealed yet? Or are there only the five?

Well, this more of a prediction from me based on the trailer but (I guess spoilers)

In the trailer they show Gipsy Danger getting trashed so maybe the heroes get a new mecha?

Those are some nice names if true.

holy shit at Striker's stats!

And that kill count! It's funny that despite being the oldest mech Coyote Tango only has two kills.

Also, it just occurred to me that in the original blueprints crimson typhoon left and right arms were in the opposite of their current set-up.

USA mecha lacks awesome battle subtitle.

Striker is broken, its obvious which one will be the first one to go down.

I do want a Cherno and Typhoon figures

You're in luck, at least in regards to Crimson Typhoon. Neca will be making a toy version of it, as well as for Striker Eureka and Gipsy Danger.


Maybe they'll produce the remaining later. After all this movie has so much toy potential. What kid doesn't love giant robots and monsters?

Just noticed this. Japan's is awesome!

Striker is so going down. The legendary pilots die to a new monster. America saves the day. Russian's nuclear head is foreshadowing the nuclear closing of the rift in the ocean. I am betting on this.

Also I want to see North Korean Great Leader 10/10/10 stats and 100+ killcount

So any idea if the Wondercon trailer is officially going public?

Edit: Holy shit,
"The effects and the battles were incredible, culminating in a Jaeger grabbing a massive ship and using it as a baseball bat against a giant Kaiju."

Really not fond of the way trailers are dealt with.
It makes me wonder why they even bother with them. The internet has so much potential that they're all just throwing away. They seem to be much more fond of pushing last minute TVspots

I honestly still can't believe a movie like this is getting made.

I can't wait to see this goddamn movie, hopefully Iron Man 3 will satisfy me enough until July.
 
And here's the cover for the prequel comic (painted by Alex Ross) :

Monster looks sick, OG Jaeger is boss as fuck, can't wait for this.

My god I am so excited for this movie. I need everything about it. Posters, cards, toys. They better release figures of the kaiju along with the Jaegers.
