"Pilots ready to connect." The hype continues. Warner Bros has unveiled a set of four additional posters for Pacific Rim, featuring four more of the various Jaeger robots we built to fight the giant Kaiju monsters. We've already featured one of these before from Japan, the robot called Coyote Tango, but now we have a full arsenal. This time we get to see the Jaeger from Australia, Russia, China, and the good ole USA, with badass called "Gipsy Danger". If I was 14 again, I'd be collecting these posters like trading cards, probably even bring them to a Con to get signed by Guillermo. They're building such a cool world, can't wait to see it.
Four more Jaeger posters added - Gipsy Danger, Striker Eureka, Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon:
For the full gallery, we suggest heading to IMPAwards. You can also visit PacificRimMovie.com for updates.
Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan's Labyrinth) is directing Pacific Rim from a script by Travis Beacham. The film follows a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi), who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger, a massive robot designed to fight legions of monstrous creatures known as Kaiju, which started rising from the sea years ago. They stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse. The film also stars Idris Elba, Ron Perlman, Charlie Day and Clifton Collins Jr. Warner Bros will release Pacific Rim in theaters in 3D on July 12th. See the full trailer.

Those are likely being saved for the final film...you need SOMETHING to surprise people with, something for them to experience in the theater.

Gypsy danger is the coolest, most appropriate name for one of these things.

All super power countries and then there's...Australia? I just wouldn't thought they'd have Great Britain instead. Does anyone one know when the next trailer hits???!!!!

It's called Pacific Rim, not Atlantic Rim so the UK doesn't count. Anyway, Oz always punches above its weight.

LOL great answer! Maybe they should have Canada and Mexico robots. Oh, but then they'll be like only 10 feet tall. But they ought to have at least a Japanese robot!

The Japanese Jaeger is linked 3rd sentence down. Maybe it will become clear in the movie why Canada and Mexico ( south american states) don't have Jaeger's ( destroyed in battle?)

It's been confirmed that there are like 9 Jaegers seen in the film at one point or another...these 5 are just the main Jaegers...and also belong to some of the bigger box office markets π

Actually, there is one Mexican Jaeger: Matador Fury... but it didn't make it to be included in the movie

Haha, good point. I didn't consider to think "pacific" was pertaining to that ocean.

Amazing art direction this posters looks like those Model kit boxes. it's a win

Yeah finally some posters that don't look like sh*t. These easily could have been clean chrome and boring, floating heads, or be half blue half orange. They look like trading cards, cover boxes of action figures, or like you said the cover of model kit boxes. I like them, they're unique.

Wait, I JUST heard they're called Jaeger robots. So.. that means they'll have Jaeger Bombs???

It's a play on the German word 'Jager' which is pronounced the same way(yay-ger) and means "hunter"

Even though its the 2nd best looking Jaeger out the lot the US jaeger has such a pants name.

Gispy Danger sounds cool...I love all of these names...they are sort of just the perfect, archetypal codenames "Gipsy Danger, Crimsons Typhoon, Striker Eureka"...they just ooze coolness.

JESUS ALEX. USE OTHER ADJECTIVES BESIDES "BAD ASS". I'm sure you know one or two other words that you could use. Amateur.

Why do only the coolest countries get a Jaeger? Nothing from Canada - are they not cool? They have the Tea Party. Nothing from Sri Lanka? could call it Curry Scorcher. Nothing from Cuba? Fidel Castro would be rockin awesome enough. Nothing at all from the Kiwis? Baa Baa Bro could work. And where is the UK offering - Lager Chav?
