==Trivia==
*Striker Eureka's K-Stunner missiles were developed from [[Newton Geiszler|Newton Geiszler's]] research into Kaiju biology, allowing the warheads to easily penetrate Kaiju hide.<ref name="Novelization">''[[Pacific Rim: The Official Movie Novelization]]''</ref>
*Striker Eureka has 14 Kaiju kills in the novel, which is three more kills compared to how many it has in the movie.
