Pacific Rim Jaeger ideas
Jaeger 1
Name: Shadow
Height: 220 feet
Weight: 1000 tons
Country of origin: Great Britain
Hull: Her hull is built from a highly durable, non-conductive, non-reactive metal alloy.
Weapons: Wrist blades, finger claws, 40 pulsed laser cutter units.
Appearance and tactics: Shadow has a body based on that of a slim human female. Her hull is matte black, as well as her visor. She has 40 long, articulated appendages on her head, which normally hang loose on her head like hair. However, mounted on the ends of these appendages are high-output pulsed laser cutting units. If she gets pinned down, she can maneuver these appendages into position, then activate the cutting units and deal massive amounts of damage to the Kaiju in question. Her frame was built for maneuverability and speed, so she can't take hits as well as some of the larger Jaegers like Gypsy Danger or Striker, but she can shred Kaiju with the best of them.
Jaeger 2
Name: Skeleton King
Height: 280 ft
Weight: 2180 tons
Country of origin: Japan
Hull: This Jaeger's hull is formed largely out of Kaiju bone.
Weapons: high-frequency electrified vibro-whips, missile batteries, and a high powered plasma beam cannon located in the mouth.
History: After Gipsy Danger was sacrificed to close the rift, Japan's government sent a team of Jaegers down into the trench to salvage the remains of the Category IV Kaiju, Raiju and Scunner, as well as those of the Category V, Slattern. Since the flesh had long since dissolved, Japan's Jaeger construction teams used various parts from the salvaged remains, as well as the bones of the category IV Kaiju Leatherback and Otachi, to build Skeleton King.
Appearance and tactics: Skeleton King's nerve center is built into the cavity where Slattern's brain once rested, giving it a fearsome visage. Servo motors were built into Slattern's jaw, allowing it to move up and down to reveal the plasma beam cannon. It's armor is highly resistant to the acidic nature of Kaiju blood, and is far more dense and durable than the steel used in traditional Jaeger hulls. Its whips can easily cut through nearly any Kaiju's skin to deliver a crippling shock to the sensitive tissue underneath.
