Those mechs remind me of a bastardized version of IGPX meets Zone of the Enders....
Horrible designs all around. Hype deflated.

I seem to remember someone saying earlier in the thread that this is recycling some of the assets/ideas from the previously aborted Eva movie. Someone also posted some spoilers about the plot and claimed it was Eva-ish, but I didn't want to spoil myself so they could have been full of shit.If they can pull this off I'd like to see them try (AKA butcher) an Evangelion film.
So the Cherno Alpha is Russian
Striker Eureka is Australian
Coyote Tango is Japanese
Gypsy Danger is American
And the Crimson Typoon is Chinese?
So you were hoping for realistic western military designs when from the beginning everyone following the project has been expecting anime inspired giant humanoid robots with rocket punches and power swords? Okay!
I don't mean how they look, as it was expected they would be humanoid from the beginning, but more how they move, I'm expecting some clunky shit, rather then like backflips and crazy sword play, or just about any kind of action scene from EVA.
I'd be totally cool with being wrong though, because honestly I don't really care how the Robots fight, I'm far more interested in the giant monsters.

If they kept the script as close as to the last time I read it, then there'll be lots of references to Evangelion you'll see in this film, thus practically rendering an EVA movie pointless.
so do we get the mind fuck of the last few episodes of eva in the movie?
But you said Gundam, not Eva. Gundams don't do backflips and they don't move like Evas. In fact, when they're not in space, Gundams are traditionally really clunky!
It's hard to image those giant robots in motion not looking cheap and cg. They could always go shaky cam and help that. Then again, I am no director.
Crimson Typhoon bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Digging the designs of the robots because I'm not a pretentious ass.
That arm dispossition don't make much sense ..... why put 2 normal arms next to each other and make the bizarre arm alone on the other side ?
Exchange a normal arm with the claw would make a HUGE sense
So, it's that confirmed to be 2 left arms? I immediately thought it was 2 different views of the same arm. Granted, it's the only blueprint to show it that way, but still... makes more sense to me.

One arm per pilot, broski.So, it's that confirmed to be 2 left arms? I immediately thought it was 2 different views of the same arm. Granted, it's the only blueprint to show it that way, but still... makes more sense to me.
Right arm is a canon or something if you look at it, I guess the other two arms is for grabbing and the other to straight up shoot at the face of the monster
I am strangely okay with this.
It's funny how people act as if Evangelion invented the whole Giant Mech vs. Giant Monster thing.
Let's see how the first turns out lol

This is Hollywood, lol.
This movie is so completely insane in scope and plot that I can't help but love it.
It also comfortably side-steps the largest pitfall of making an Evangelion movie: having young teens play emotionally and mentally complex roles.
Power Rangers isn't particularly obscure nor anime.I'm sorry I haven't watched enough obscure anime in my time. For a lot of people, Eva is simply the most visible point of reference. Even for those who haven't watched the show.
I don't know if you're serious or not. If you are I want to know what you're smoking, there's a massive difference between a smaller movie based on a video game themed comic book staring Michael Cera, and a $200 million dollar movie that has giant robots fighting monsters.I doubt it will happen unless the marketing really gets people pumped. This whole thing has sort of a Scott Pilgrim vibe. Destined to be a huge cult classic.
Yes, as the previous posters pointed out it's more often live-action than anime.
Here's a small list:
how long do the monsters just wander around fucking stuff up while these countries research and develop giant robots? And what do they do that jets with big missiles can't?
(cant' wait for the movie, disbelief will be entirely suspended)
You often need melee combat to hit the weak point for massive damage. Missiles alone can't get to the important bits.how long do the monsters just wander around fucking stuff up while these countries research and develop giant robots? And what do they do that jets with big missiles can't?

Maybe it's just a spare arm for if the other one gets broken.
Looking forward to seeing the Chilean robot.

I didn't see anyone mention this yet...but....
Doesn't the Striker Eureka remind anyone of anything? Given the name as well...it can't be a coincidence.
A bonkers, bizarre video game nerd-based movie about fighting evil ex-boyfriends, versus GIANT MONSTERS fighting GIANT ROBOTS with a 200 million budget?
This is anything but cult.
Scott Pilgrim was impossible to sell to a wide audience. Pacific Rim can be sold in five words, "giant robots fight giant monsters". Seems easy to market to me.

Still only appeal to anime and godzilla fans ... wich IN THE USA is a very small percent.
I bet it will bomb in the USA and make huge money "overseas"
edit :
Yes, the 200 million dollar movie has to make MUCH MORE money to be sucessfull
