The MSJ posted:Is Goreburger really that good? I love how loving quickly they run out of things to name on these increasingly-bad robots. "defiant-13 shin mount" "it has legs" "x-411 supermetal bodywork" "we're not even bothering to come up with a dumb name for our science fiction alloy, it's supermetal"

Allen Wren posted:"x-411 supermetal bodywork" "we're not even bothering to come up with a dumb name for our science fiction alloy, it's supermetal" Believe it or not, "supermetal" is actually a reference to the Go Nagai giant robot cartoons of the early '70s. Absolutely agree with you about the design for these robots being trash, though.

It's good that they pointed out the missile-launchers were "anti-kaiju" missile launchers. No one would have known what they were for if they hadn't explained it.

To be fair on that one, Pacific Rim 1 did the same thing with labeling Striker Eureka's chest missiles as "anti-kaiju." The website gave some technobabble about them being multi-stage armor-piercing missiles loaded with acid or something.

I'm just disappointed that they've chosen to be so conservative in their choice of body types. They need a big fat comic relief robot at least.

Looking over them again, I like how they make sure to point out that the main robot still has all the cool weapons we saw it using in the first movie, because everyone loved the elbow rocket in the last movie! Be sure to come back for more elbow rocket! Also, I may be fine with a more feminine-looking Jaeger (okay, I'll be honest, I actually like it), but if it turns out they made it look like it's wearing heels, I will laugh and then cry.

"Okay, Bracer Phoenix will come at the Kaiju from this side, while Titan Redeemer cuts it off over here. These two will bring up the rear." "What do we do?"

The worst thing about those robot designs is that the third and fourth ones have almost the exact same silhouette except for the mace hand, that's like character design 101.Guy Mann posted:None of that is in the actual film. Saying Gipsy Danger is actually a reference to the Roma is like saying that the Delorean in Back to the Future is actually a refrigerator or that Indiana Jones is actually a pedophile. The film also doesn't say that it's a reference to the plane, they just call it a racial slur with no explanation, so it's more like saying the Delorean in Back to the Future is a car or that Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is kinda racist.

They tested one called Omega Chunker, but they couldn't get the physics on its giant Hawaiian shirt to work right. It would always freak out and end up clipping through the other bots. Which is too bad, because it's fighting style of drunkenly tripping over the other Jaegers and crushing Kaiju was pretty cool. Also, it had titty missiles. And rear end missiles, too.
