A USS Enterprise appears.
USS Enterprise uses 'Phaser Barrage'.
Its super effective.

I like that they called them "Jaeger" instead of just "Hunter". German words on machinery always fits

Also I hope at least at one point we get to see the Jaegers fire a mecha-sized gun at a monster :allears:

I saw a sizzle reel(maybe right term?) for the effects company or a company invoked with the film and it showed one of them firing missiles out its forearm so a mecha sized machine gun seems likely unless its built into the arm instead.

although if they also have weaponry built to size like the armored core series that would be totally bad rear end.

Just start with Eureka Seven (all-around best mecha show in the last 5-10 years), GaoGaiGar (awesome throwback to the 70s/80s), or The Big O (imagine the 90s batman animated series but with GIANT FUCKIN' ROBOTS).

Also depending on how much super robot/Monster of the week action you want

Check out Star Driver which was Flamboyantly Super Robot amazing action

Heroic Age for a super robot/monster vs space opera space fleet setting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YN3Wd-NGyOg
and last and should probably be first really... Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVb8nKj6iYo)which is the monster vs monster vs bigger monster animation of all time. The last fight is mind boggling in scale and I'll say no more.

So since the portal is on the bottom of the ocean floor I assume these robots will go to the ocean floor, possibly to punch monsters down there??

Or into the monster dimension, the voice over in the trailer mentions a 'them' a lot. 'They' thought humanity would hide and give up so either the monsters are smarter than you would first guess or other dimension aliens are controlling/sending them over.

Not sure if this got posted already but here's a newish trailer, a bit of different footage including what looks like liquid filled combat suits/helmets, more of the pilots and some more of the Jaeger Vs Kaiju combat.

Also that bit at 1:17 is awesome looking.

And supposedly we haven't seen the two last jaegers: Diablo Intercept and Tacit Ronin

This movie is gonna kick so much rear end :allears:

Diablo Intercept and Tacit Ronin? Those are such awesome names I don't know how the Jaeger designs are going to live up to them.

Yeah, that stuck out to me as well, the scale seems off. Although looking at it again, it appears to be a much smaller, older freight ship rather than an oil supertanker or container ship.

Now that you point it out I can't un-see it, maybe its the camera angle?

some weird focusing effect unless its a like a big model of a ship or something.
