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.
