Description
I SHIP IT SO HARDYeah as a sentient being the Australian jaeger Striker Eureka would take on the personality of his most influential pilot and be this strong, badass, cocky, egotistical, out-of-control brat at his worst. And here he's not exactly happy about having to use himself as Gipsy Danger's crutch either, not even after her coming in to save his ass again (goddamnit, Striker you're the strongest Jaeger, just carry her!!). He's not good at saying thank you either, so that was it. All in all, he's still got a bit of warming up to do.
Now she (Gipsy has always been referred to a "she" in the movie so this makes ALL the ladies in Pacific Rim good, strong badasses) Anyway, while not the strongest or even the fastest jaeger (that's Striker's thing), she's the best. Sure Striker's got big guns, but she is THE big gun. And guess what? He ain't happy with that! So along those lines, their relationship would be a fun ride full of sparing, a couple of screaming matches, showing off, pranks, battlefield heroics (such as what probably went on here in Gip's case), fighting for each other, swallowing some pride and giving each other some care and love (eventually) !
Note: I would have totally given her some more battle damage but I've never drawn jaegers and it was quite different compared to my usual TFA, so this is all I got for now, sorry! I'll get better at this.
.... time for bed. And WATCH PACIFIC RIM! I watched for the second time on my birthday a few days ago, a third is necessary.
Enjoy! And fangirl with me! EEeeeEeek!!!

I'm wondering in the movie could the Jaegers actually do this? I mean if Gypsy can pick up and throw a Kaiju away I'm sure one could help the other. That aside very good art :3

Probably but the sound would DESTROY your ears

Honestly, I'm glad that the last battle was Striker and Gipsy is going in there.
I felt like these two Jaeger designs made them compatible and visually having
a strong chemistry bond with each other. Although, I really though Crimson and
Cherno survived somehow. So four Jaegers going to this mission. SO
FUCKING AWESOME!!! But I can't say it sucked that it didn't happen.
Cause it's still awesome as HEAVEN! MECHA AND KAIJU OTAKU HEAVEN!!

Ship (the transportation) technicalities aside, Striker definitely does look more male than Gipsy. I'd probably call Striker a he, too.

Yup. they said it in the movie, "Isn't she beautiful?"

technically ALL the Jaegers are "She"
now draw cherno and crimson bro-ing it out

Technically yes but reading the notes on the designs in the artbook "Pacific Rim: Man, Machines, and Monsters" del Toro and the artists comment on Striker: "Striker is like a bodybuilder in a way" says del Toro. "He has very sharp edges and is very arrogant, with huge shoulder pads... You want him on your side in a fight, but he's not a clean fighter"
Animation Supervisor Hal Hickel calls Striker "the football jock of Jaegers"
Now that all sounds very masculine. On the other hand, Robert Kazinsky, the actor for Chuck Hansen, has called Striker Eureka a "she" in the way machines are generally referred to as females as it sounded like. But really, they can be anything. They have no genders but I'm stuck with thinking of them like this.

Ehhh, I call them "he" because they're too masculine to be called "she".
👍: 1 ⏩: 0
This is just....Aaw.
Also i"m glad i"m not the only one who visualises Gipsy as a female
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Thank you. "aww" is right. ^^ But yeah, they're out there. Sentient Gipsy can be anything really but I'm just getting female vibes off her. I guess it's just the way they made all the Jaegers. While not sentient they succeeded in giving each of them some kind of personality in their design and the way they were made to fight. But yeah, I'll stick with female, it stuck on me.

Go to the pacific rim wiki to learn their fighting styles

Anyone, no? Good!

Finally someone who knows that Gipsy was referred as a "she".
This really gets me an idea to draw all the jaegers sonic style. Like your drawings and PACIFIC RIM. I can't wait to get it on DVD!

Yeah and all the "she's so beautiful" comments thrown around in the movie.

The arm around the waist *SQUEE* I love this ship so much! Good job on making Gipsy look slightly more feminine by the angle and her pose. Props to you for that X3
Oh, and I can totally imagine Striker saying that in an Aussie accent
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
squeeEeEeee!! Yes I LOVE this ship more and more by the second and I'm working on more art with them. Well, all the Jaegers actually for this next one so we'll see another in the next few days. But thanks, I'm glad you noticed those little things. I watched Pacific Rim three times, and Gipsy Danger looks pretty feminine already.
👍: 1 ⏩: 1
Including Gipsy, all the women in this movie are TOUGH 0.0 I mean have you seen Sasha? Dang! That's one hardcore woman.
I can just imagine Striker saying that line in an Australian accent <3
I have yet to wonder . . . do we share some headcannons?
Gipsy Danger (Mark 3) My hand cannon is that it's a she. I know machines are often referred to as shes, but she was the only one directly referred to as one during the movie. My head cannon is that she's an experienced Jaeger who is a mixture between old fashioned ways and new tech. She appears a bit masculine, but she rocks dem hips. I'd imagine her voice actress to have a deep yet feminine voice, that sounds capable, similar to Commander Shepherd in Mass Effect, but not quite. Probably more formal and having a smoother sound to it. (I'd imagine she's also Tailgate's mother XD You can't deny that they look alot alike)
Cherno Alpha (Mark 1) I'd imagine him with a deep Russian accent, with a bit of a gravelly texture. He taught Gipsy to have an appreciation for the good old fashion ways. He's tough as nails and resilient, doesn't complain. While fighting a Kaiju I can imagine him saying "Das vee danya suka!" ( The last word was an insult in Russian, the first was "Good bye") His fighting style is brutish , loving to wrestle and putting Kaijus into headlocks.
Striker Eureka (Mark 5) He must have an Australian accent and he rocks dem thighs as well as being the fastest Jaeger of them all . He thinks that Gipsy is a stubborn woman that holds more experience below her belt than he ever will, even despite his superior frame work. However he has a lot of respect for her as a comrade and is even developing feelings for her. He is the shiny rising star among the Jaegers, the least experienced, but also the most advanced. But undeniably cocky and a raging brat at times.
Crimson Typhoon (Mark 4) He has a Chinese accent and loves hand to hand combat. He is especially skilled at keeping down multiple opponents at once and getting enough time for himself to find a weak spot. He's kind of the braniac of family with quicker reflexes than most. Unlike Cherno Alpha his fighting style is fluid and graceful, whilst Cherno performs brutish wrestling with moves like headlocks.
Coyote Tango (Mark 1) Has a Japanese accent. He and Cherno were old war buddies. Knew each other well and kept in touch despite despite been stationed all over the world. Did well to hold his ground and let whatever Kaiju he was fighting lose some steam before going in for the killing blow.

Damn right they're all tough. Now Sasha. Wow, that freakin' lady carried such a deep commanding, glorious presence in her short screen time.
And yes, Striker's Australian accent I could definitely hear too. It feels like the Jaegers would adopt whatever languages and dialects their pilots use. Gipsy would get Yancy and Raleigh's American dialects and most likely would speak Japanese well too since Mako's been resotring her and piloting. There'd be no reason for the Kaidanovskies to use English with each other in their Jaeger so Cherno would have this heavy Russian accent. Crimson I suspect Chinese and Coyote Tango, although a Japanese Jaeger, might adopt Pentecost's dialect? That one's a little tougher.
So goddamn right we share a lot of them.
Gipsy Danger. Yes, yes, yes and yes on her voice too. I've heard about Commander Shepherd and just finished listening to some on YouTube, that'd be a great voice for her. She is an older model but her launch date was 2017, Striker's was 2019, just two years later. But damn, they made Striker so much more advanced so quickly. But she also underwent major reconstruction under Mako, so she's back in with new technology too. About her experience, it's hard to pin that up again Striker Eureka's when we're talking time in
service. He does have more Kaiju kills but she has a skillset and pilots that bring her aces high that went into saving his ass and killing 2 Kaiju in one night. So yeah, years of experience would go to Striker Eureka since Gip has been out of service for 5 years, skill would go to Gipsy. And I can see her having this deep protective sense towards her pilots.
Cherno Alpha, absolutely. Hmm, brutish fighting style. Almost like Strika Eureka who bring in the new brawling forms. They have that much in common. And whatever feelings are going on between anyone in the group, Cherno knows what's really
going on before they do. Gipsy would indeed have this repect for him and eagerness to learn from him and I can imagine he'd also have a fondness for her. He shares the deepest bond with his pilots, particularly Sasha maybe who has more influence on him.
Striker Eureka. Egotistical jerk all the way and not good at saying thank you or please or help. But he'll charge in to help his fellow Jaegers without a moment's hesitation regardless of orders. Towards Gipsy there is that rivalry but also
admiration. They first met when they aided Horizon Brave in stopping a category 4 in Manila. Then she was more experienced and he probably saw her as a rival from the start. But since her destruction, he kept killing kaiju. But even now, well, she's one of a kind and meeting his combat level, occasionally besting him while he's the most advanced Jaeger so there'd be some tension there along that admiration and developing these stronger feelings. (which he probably doesn't understand). I would think she'd be the better fighter but he lost to Leatherback due to the EMP blast so we don't know. Her advantage there was her nuclear heart, not combat skill. And towards his pilots, most influenced by Chuck and I can hear him calling Marshall Hansen "old man" letting that slip out every now and then.
Now our lovely Mark 4, Crimson Typhoon! Despite him/her being a Mark 4, he's got the graceful movements our Mark 5 couldn't match. Double jointed legs, quadruple neural processor (counting him in the drift) he's definitely smart, quick, and dangerous like his shady Triplet pilots for whom I'm certain he has a brotherly affection towards. One more thing, *whispers* I ship him/her with Coyote Tango. He'd probably assume Typhoon has nothing to do with an old Mark-1 like him, but there definitely admiration going on both ways and a little more.
Coyote Tango, like Marshall Pentecost's authority among the pilots, probably holds the boss title among the Jaegers. I'm not certain about his voice. Being a Japanese Jaeger he may have a Japanese accent but his pilots, Pentecost and Tamsin Sevier were British so... I'm not sure. Maybe a bit of an accent. And yeah, he and Cherno would be firm friends but Cherno is more content with being in his team than leading it. And if Tango had to pick, Gipsy would be his second. He always knew she was meant for leadership even when Striker Eureka was called in to be the top gun. So he probably is most strict with her among the Jaegers and there are times when that's stressful and she'd get rebellious. And that's when Cherno comes in to help her out. Tango's not actively fighting but can he kick Kaiju ass? Yeah he can and let's hope no one challenges him to do it again 'cos it will get ugly.
👍: 1 ⏩: 2
I know right?! I love my people X3
Yeah now that I think about it more Tango would probably adopt more of Pente's dialect.
I'm sure she'd more than happily rip the throat out of whoever tries to hurt her pilot's. I'd imagine she's got a slight motherly tone to her, but in the end she's a soldier like every other Jaeger.
For some odd reason I'm imagining Striker wrestling a kangaroo like Kaiju now XD
The old Jaeger would probably have the best war stories from protecting that Russian wall for six years
He'd be too stubborn to admit that he's got a thing for the American BA with the (literally) nuclear heart ^^. . . . someone (Or me if I had the time right now DX) should draw humanized Jaegers!!!!!!!!
I can just see Cherno as that grizzly old man in great shape with a somewhat of a beard,wearing old leather jackets.
Gipsy would wear slightly outdated armor and I'd imagine her being a brunette with golden hazel and an athletic build.
Crimson would be like a gymnast and have spiky red hair. He'd wear khaki pants and a white shirt during training.
Coyote Tango, I imagine him being alot like Pentecost. Maybe graying black hair. My friend just told me he'd look like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I can't even. She doesn't even know what Pacific Rim is I just asked her opinion because she came into the room mid conversation between us.
Striker Eureka would be like the high school jock mentality. He'd look like a typical blonde green eyed football player. Very physically fit. Maybe a slight mischievous face.
I can totally see Tango running the show, retired but when action calls he'll kick major aft. Maybe a blend of a Japapense and British accent? Or maybe just acting like he's from Japanese culture, but actually speaking with an authoritative British accent. I can imagine that when they don't want Striker getting in the way, he and Gipsy would speak in Japanese back and forth to one another. Much to the Aussie's frustrations. There might be a put of rivalry for that 2nd position between Gipsy and Striker.

If you were attempting to get me excited about humanizing them, you succeeded. I uh... just finished their head designs.

Eek, the headshots! I still have them in Photoshop and pretty much done-ish. I haven't finished Cherno Alpha though, just the "kids" but I'll go ahead and upload the ones I have in a bit.
