My cousin used Canva to create this pretty awesome yet basic comic strip of Striker Eureka and Cherno Alpha vs Knifehead.
Backdrop is Hong Kong?
He used the Neca figures: ultimate Striker Eureka, Series 3 Cherno Alpha (painted the (Incinerator Turbines orange), 18 inch battle damaged Gipsy Danger, series 1 knifehead and series 3 battle damaged knifehead.
Thought that these would look cool. I have combined the posters of the jaeger's weapons, stats and pilots to make one big wallpaper per jaeger.
Cherno Alpha and Striker Eureka ones use official weapons posters (Incinerator Turbines and Tesla Fists) (AKM Launcher and Sting Blades); however, I had to use a model for Gipsy Danger since there isn't an offical one for her. But I have labelled the I-19 Plasma caster and GD6 Chainsword like the style of Striker and Cherno.
Crimson coming later.
Ps. Aleksis K (Robert Maillet) is so tall!!
Thoughts?
Just a fan theory.
If Gipsy had killed Knifehead without issue, i.e. Yancy survives and neither the conn-pod nor left arm are severly damaged, do you think the Mark III restoration programme would have still upgraded Gipsy's systems and added the GD6 Chainswords?
Also, would Gipsy have been the Jaeger to hold the Miracle Mile during the Hong Kong incident? Crimson probably would have died anyway but due to the Becket Brothers' kind of reckless and impulsive attitude, maybe they would have got to Otachi and Cherno quick enough to save the Russians?
Then Operation Pitfall would have been a 3 v 3 fight!
Thoughts?
Hey guys and girls, just wondered in the original film why Striker's missiles took way longer to fire against Otachi than they did against Mutavore? Also, during the Drift test with Raleigh and Mako, why did Gipsy Danger's 1-19 plasma caster take way longer to shoot? Were they overcharging it like Raleigh did against Knifehead after Yancy died?
The main one with Gipsy Danger as well as the one with Gipsy alongside Cherno and Striker is cool too. Do you guys like the weapons posters? E.g. the labels on the jaegers and them being somewhat demonstrated; such as Striker's blades or Cherno's incinerator Turbines?

Some kaiju were very effective in combating the Jaegers. Knifehead's knife went through Gipsy like a heated butter knife through butter. Otachi's acid melted through Cherno no matter how durable its armour was, and her flight was clearly very useful. Leatherback's EMP crippled Striker, the stronger Jaeger, in an instant. Slattern's size and strength speaks for himself.
So knowing how effective these kaiju were, why didn't the Precursors just send more clones of Knifehead, Otachi, Leatherback, or Slattern? We know it's possible because Newt's vision showed several Knifehead copies lined up next to each other. Even complete clones wouldn't be necessary; just their abilities would suffice. Perhaps they could even mix-and-match them; imagine the horror of Otachi with an EMP on top of all her other abilities. Or Slattern with acid and an EMP. Leatherback's EMP is really a gamebreaker here. Put one on even a weak kaiju like Trespasser and that kaiju would be able to take out any non-nuclear Jaeger.
So instead of sending Raiju and Scunner to defend the Breach, the Precursors could have simply sent another Leatherback to take out Striker (again) and let Slattern finish the job.

<p>Hi everyone, finally got around to uploading this. Had some trouble with it along the way, as a result of using a new video editor which had some bugs, but here it is. This video gives a brief overview of Striker's warfare capabilities, and covers its combat mission history. I hope you all enjoy, and I'd appreciate any thoughts and feedback. Thank you.
