Pacific Rim

Gipsy Danger's appearance, faded blue paint job, and romanticized decal invokes the visual design of fighter aircraft like Vought F4U Corsair from the World War II era. Its body language echos Raleigh, but is largely its own. Because Gipsy Danger's head is detachable from its body, large flaps stem from its shoulders to protect the back of its head and the base of the neck where the Jaeger's body connects with its Conn-Pod.

Gipsy Danger's 08FS/Oceanic Cooling vents maintain temperature and channel seawater through the Jaeger's circulatory coolant system. Its 98BD/Hyper-Torque Drives allow Gipsy Danger's muscle strands increased locomotion. Gipsy's Nuclear Vortex Turbine maintains health checks and returned radio chemical readings in excess of safety parameters. The turbine can also be utilized to fire a directed heat blast powerful enough to burn completely through the hide of a Kaiju when activated at point blank range.

Equalizing the Jaeger's movement are 10KT/Gyro-Stabilizers, which allow for smooth bipedal motion and stabilize aggressor feud. Gipsy Danger also features two rear jets which allow for an increase in forwarding movement for a limited amount of time. They can be used to aid in the Jaeger's ability to leap into the air, quickly decreasing the distance between her and a Kaiju to land a melee attack.

For each hand, Gipsy Danger possesses an I-19 Plasmacaster, a particle dispersal cannon that fires plasma via a charged carrier rail and is able to both wound and cauterize Kaiju anatomy, preventing the spread of Kaiju Blue. It also has two retractable GD6 Chain Swords created from a steel-obsidian alloy, which were personally outfitted by Mako Mori. These Chain Swords can be used as solid blades or whips. In addition to those features, Gipsy Danger is able to dump much of its coolant as an improvised weapon and possesses a rocket for increased punching power inside its right elbow.

In the aftermath of its partial destruction, Gipsy Danger's systems are updated to the standards of modern Jaeger technology. However, as result of its age, its suspension is looser and its parts move more than that of the latest Jaeger models, making it more vulnerable to melee attacks. Like all Mark-3 Jaegers, Gipsy Danger is powered by a nuclear reactor located in the center of its chest, which makes it resilient to EMP-based attacks. Gipsy Danger's reactor can also be armed to self-destruct, presumably as a last resort against a Kaiju when all other options to kill it have been exhausted.

The strongest and fastest of the Jaegers, Striker Eureka's fighting style is akin to that of a dirty boxer or a brutal brawler. This fighting style stems primarily from its pilots, Chuck and Herc Hansen. Striker Eureka's speed and agility allow it to combat and kill Kaiju far quicker than any other previous Jaeger series ever produced, and its T-16 Angel Wings act as stabilizers to maintain aerodynamic balance during the turbulence of burst combat.

Striker Eureka's 4.211 "Brass Knuckles" are a temperature-resistant brass-steel compound cast around the joints of each of the Jaeger's fingers, adding greatly to the impact potential of each punch. In turn, they're backed by a pair of twin-retractable Assault Mount 3.25 "Sting-Blades" laced with carbon nanotubes that channel thermal energy at temperatures over 300°F, capable of wounding and cauterizing Kaiju in close combat.

Striker Eureka's chest-mounted WMB2x90 Anti-Kaiju Missile Launcher comes with six barrels and is equipped with eighteen individual K-Stunner warheads that can easily kill a Kaiju with a direct hit. Striker Eureka also contains a TY escape pod in the back of its Conn-Pod, allowing its pilots to eject in the face of defeat, and an escape hatch at the top of its head akin to that of Coyote Tango's. Lastly, the Jaeger's 90ER11 amber platinum visor is equipped with advanced photochromic displays, allowing four planes of situational awareness.

Unique among the Jaegers, Crimson Typhoon is piloted by three Rangers as opposed to the traditional two. The Conn-Pod, personally designed by Dr. Caitlin Lightcap, functions and accommodates a triple Neural Handshake and three-pilot control. Two pilots control the Jaeger's basic movements in the front, while the third pilot acts as a gunner from behind.

Crimson Typhoon is constructed with a full titanium core and fifty diesel engines per muscle strand. Crimson Typhoon's three arms allow for great mobility and range in combat, and the fighting style of the Wei Tang triplets grants the Jaeger the grace of a practiced martial artist. Crimson Typhoon can use its broad shoulders to defend against punches and shield itself, allowing it to strike back immediately by rolling with its left shoulder. It also features three rear jets which allow for an increase in forward movement for a limited amount of time. They can be used to aid in the Jaeger's ability to leap into the air, decreasing the distance between her and a Kaiju to land a melee attack. These rear jets can ignite independently of each other to increase the speed of Crimson Typhoon's melee attacks, as the Jaeger's torso twists when it slashes at a Kaiju using its arms.

Crimson Typhoon's OSIH Achilles shock absorbers are attached with magnetorheological dampers, allowing for better balance on an array of terrain in combat. The complex labyrinth of balance plates and pressure sensors housed within the Jaeger's feet calculates the thousands of micro-adjustments per second required to perform various maneuvers in battle. Crimson Typhoon's 34RO111 STERNO Piston, while a trade-off component, also allows for the Conn-Pod's increased flexibility around the Jaeger's neck.

Crimson Typhoon's 11X/// Triples Control Device enables the triple-pilot system and the Conn-Pod itself acts as a telescope, allowing for greater vision in combat. Its pioneering Liquid Software systems, 28-GO, also provide the lowest circuitry footprint of any Jaeger, which enables the Conn-Pod design to be sleeker and more situationally aware. The flexibility awarded to Crimson Typhoon allows it to rotate its lower torso and legs a full 180 degrees, allowing it to perform high kicks and lift its body in order to perform flips.

Crimson Typhoon is well-known for its signature attack, the "Thundercloud Formation," where its hands pop outwards and all twelve fingers split in half and rotate to form twelve saw-blades that can easily cut through Kaiju hide. Crimson Typhoon also wields an IB22 Plasmacaster, which is three times more powerful than the I-19 Plasmacaster used by Gipsy Danger and has a multi-layered CELL-TIP technology that enables the Jaeger to specifically target the skeletal structure of a Kaiju in combat. The only downside to this weapon is the massive amount of energy required just to fire it, with each shot slaved to a 6.8 second charge time.

Cherno is one of the heaviest, oldest, and best-armored Jaegers, as well as one of the slowest. It ties with Coyote Tango for the tallest height on a Mark-1 Jaeger. Visually, Cherno Alpha was designed and patterned to resemble "Russian military painting schemes," and in particular, Russian tanks. Cherno Alpha is built to endure long tours of duty and sustain as much damage from Kaiju attacks as it is able to return in kind. Oppositely, its heavy armor makes it one of the slowest Jaegers of any Mark series and vulnerable to attack from quicker enemies. Cherno Alpha's heavily armored arms are equipped with a weapon codenamed "Roll of Nickels"; cylinders that Cherno Alpha can grip and increase the power of its punches. When using "Roll of Nickels," the environment is said to shake from each blow it lands against a Kaiju.

Its arms also appear to be spring-loaded, although they can be supplemented by hydraulics for increased impact potential. Similarly, Cherno Alpha's Z14 Fists are powered by Tesla cells, allowing for the formation of a simultaneous electric arc impulse, with force up to 415kv into a Kaiju, usually to the effect of smashing both fists to induce maximum current at the sides of a Kaiju's head, usually stunning or incapacitating most targets.

Before battle, Cherno Alpha taunts its enemies by smashing its fists together multiple times. Whenever this happens, interconnected panels on the Jaeger's torso fluctuate. Cherno Alpha's Conn-Pod, also known as the Atmoscan, is located at the heart of the Jaeger, making it one of the most secure cockpit environments built for a Jaeger. However, it lacks an escape mechanism; Russian Rangers fight to win against the Kaiju or die trying. Cherno's foot spikes provide additional support and balance for the Jaeger. Cherno Alpha's MGS112 Recharging Energy Cell, a nuclear reactor, holds unprecedented energy reserves and incendiary fuel, while acting as a strong decoy for a Kaiju seeking the Jaeger's head.

Coyote Tango is designed to resemble naval warships and Cobra attack helicopters in both color scheme and appearance. Coyote Tango's light armor allows it to perform various deadly maneuvers and has great speed to evade Kaiju attacks. It is also armed with twin long-range ballistic mortar cannons to damage Kaiju from afar; these were supplemented by a forearm-mounted, retractable V-PI EnergyCaster with five modes of modulation—this weapon in particular being considered highly experimental at the time of the Jaeger's launch. Coyote Tango is also tied with Cherno Alpha for the tallest height on a Mark-1 Jaeger.

As a Mark-1 Jaeger, Coyote Tango runs on the power of a nuclear reactor. Given the short amount of time the Pan Pacific Defense Corps had to build the first series of Jaegers in response to the Kaiju threat, none of the Mark-1 series Jaegers were reinforced with protective measures to prevent radiation poisoning. Consequently, the Rangers piloting Mark-1's were at an increased risk of contracting cancer-related illnesses from exposure. Both Tamsin Sevier and Stacker Pentecost developed cancer as a result of the Jaeger's poor radiation shielding and were retired from active duty.

Horizon Brave is armed with shoulder-mounted Cryo-cannons, used to freeze Kaiju in battle or power its melee attacks. "Sub-zero suckerpunch" and "Flash freeze" are two of its signature attacks. Like all Mark-1 Jaegers, Horizon Brave is powered by a nuclear reactor.

Similar to Coyote Tango, Tacit Ronin is lightly armored, allowing for greater speed and agility to evade Kaiju attacks. Tacit Ronin is powered by a nuclear reactor and is armed with a pair of fang-blades mounted under each wrist, designed for close combat. It is also equipped with additional cannons on its torso.

When not in use, the fang-blades retract backward, with the blade tip retreating behind Tacit Ronin's fists. "Cobra Strike" is one of its signature attack moves. Tacit Ronin also has two rear jets along the center of its back, most likely to increase its propulsion for quick bursts, similar to the ones on Gipsy Danger and Crimson Typhoon.

Like most Mark-1 Jaegers, Romeo Blue is powered by a nuclear reactor. Its armament is primarily long-range, including a Gatling Chest which allows Romeo Blue to attack a Kaiju from a distance. "Tracheal Break" is one of its signature moves. Romeo Blue is one of the slowest Jaegers ever made because of its immense weight, having one-fifth of the speed of Striker Eureka.

Romeo Blue has a wide body and two small fins at the back that are similar to the T-16 Angel Wings on Striker Eureka. Its head is small and bears a crest at the top. The visor is thin and symmetrical on either side of the head. Its hands are rounded with short fingers, relatively similar to Crimson Typhoon. The lower torso of Romeo Blue is quite thin before it gets wider at the hips and legs. A large and distinctive vertical fin-like structure protrudes from the center of the Jaeger's chest, designed to protect the Conn-Pod from attack.
