Its pretty obviously ragebait, but I highlighted the funniest parts that I thought people would like to read.
"Cherno wasn't designed for combat"
(All currently WIP)
I've decided its finally time to tackle Gipsy Destroyer in my fan timeline. Since I haven't posted about this era of my timeline yet I'll give a little backstory.
^((This is a very long post, If you want to read the backstory of the Jaeger in my fan timeline continue reading, if not you can scroll past to the weapons and equipment sections))
History:
The Uprising Wars began in 2035 with the return of the kaiju and the release of nearly a hundred Drone/Jaeger Hybrids into the Pacific. With the Kaiju Watch tracking system down and upwards of six breaches open at a time humanity was put on the back foot.
Just like the first war the Jaegers fought hard won battles, but little by little they were losing. However thanks to Hermann Gottlieb and a dozen K-Drift volunteers the PPDC was able to discover that the wars were straining the Precursors to their limit. With their world already dying plans were put into place to fight a war of attrition. For many in the PPDC this meant the return of the Wall of Life.
Though for some this was not enough. No one really knew how long the Precursors could last. And let alone if humanity could survive that long, especially with the Cat six and seven Kaiju coming through the breaches. So in mid 2040 plans were put in place to build a Jaeger that could strike a crippling blow to the Precursors within their own dimension. And over the next five years Gipsy Destroyer was slowly born.
Built to be the pinnacle of Jaeger technology the designs of every Jaeger before it were mulled over, their efficiency judged, and their tech upgraded. Alongside the best tested J-Tech, Gipsy Destroyer was outfitted with as much experimental technology as possible. No expense was spared, no cost to high.
The construction of Gipsy Destroyer nearly bankrupted the PPDC. Eventually the PPDC had to scrap fallen Jaegers, including the recently destroyed Gipsy Avenger and Striker Berserker. For newer J-Tech scientists and engineers the reuse of old parts was a sign of impending failure, a risk of old parts in a new machine. But for many J-Tech veterans of the first war, the men and women who built the first Jaegers, watched their pride and joy fall and rise again, it felt like a coming full circle moment. They felt it fitting that the likely last Jaeger ever built carried pieces of everyone before it as it descended into The Breach.
Armaments:
GD-6C Chainswords, dual-mode: segmented chain whip or cable-reinforced nano-edged single blade, wrist mounted [retractable]
Virtually identical to Gipsy Avenger's GD-6B Chainswords. Along with the whetstones for self sharpening the blades have been superheated with carbon nanotubes similar to Striker Eureka's Stingblades. The temperature is variable according to the pilots' needs, but at full temperatures the blades can glow orangish-red.
AKM rocket battery, chest mounted; K-Stunner halogen cell rocket magazines [retractable]
Virtually identical to the Striker line's classic six barreled design. However these Anti-Kaiju Missiles have been outfitted with halogen cells that break apart upon detonation, producing a flash of light capable of blinding a kaiju. Due to the risk to the pilots when these missiles are fired the Jaeger's visor automatically darkens and the Jaeger temporarily shifts to sensors only.
I-45 Plasmacaster, dual-mode: concentrated beam emitter or single shot plasma, right forearm mounted [retractable]
The first weapons designed solely for Destroyer. In its standard configuration the weapon works as an upgraded version of the standard Plasmacaster. When toggled into its second mode the central barrel extends from the center of the Plasmacaster, forming a barrel. From there a concentrated beam of plasma can be fired out akin to a laser. Due to the intensity of the beam usage of the weapon drains Destroyer's energy reserves quickly, forcing it to operate on its backup energy cells for a few minutes. The weapon also has a limited duration, only able to hold a concentrated beam for 12 seconds before its reserves run out
ID66 Plasmacannon, smart biology-aware plasma weapon, left forearm mounted [retractable]
An upgraded version of Crimson Maelstrom's IC55 Plasmacaster. Like its predecessors weapon this Plasmacannon is built for precise and long range targeting. Due to the precise targeting and energy required for each shot the ID66 requires a longer charge time than its I-45 sibling. However this cost allows and increase of 3x the effective range compared to the normal Plasmacaster.
Z-170 Tesla Fists, hand mounted
An improved version of Cherno Omega's Z-95 Tesla Fists. Just like their predecessor when activated arks of electricity can be seen crossing from finger to finger. Preliminary tests with similar weapons have shown to be to temporarily interrupt the kaiju's connection to the shared hivemind, along with paralyzing the affected area of the body.
GJ-M/T Cryo-Sprayers, underarm mounted [retractable]
Inspired by Danger's infamous improvised coolant weapons used in Hong Kong the designers of Destroyer have included a row of Cryo-Sprayers on each side of Destroyer. Each has their own fuel tank that allows up to 15 seconds of continued fire on each side.
However these weapons have an incredibly limited range and very little maneuverability, meaning the weapons are only usable at extremely close range.
D-BA9.422 Brass Knuckles
Blocks of tungsten carbide have been fused into Destroyer's finger joints, increasing the impact of each hit by orders of magnitude.
Tri 6.3 Elbow rockets, elbow mounted [retractable]
A set of three retractable rockets are built into both of Destroyer's arms. Fueled by experimental rocket fuel using kaiju blood (designed by Hermann Gottleib) these rockets can propel Avenger's fist into speeds upwards of 250 mph.
RB.T3 Gatling guns, chest mounted [retractable]
Similar to Romeo Blue and Romeo Tyrant's Gatling Chest, these retractable guns have been built into Destroyer's lower chest. While not expected to kill these Gatling guns have been proven to be effective at drawing a kaiju's attention and causing severe skin damage.
ST//B Fuel Purge
A safer version of the typical fuel purge that all nuclear powered Jaegers have to perform.
Equipment:
BH//45 Rear jets, back mounted
Built as upgraded versions of the ones of Gipsy. While no Jaeger has been capable of flight these upgraded jets are the next best thing. These jets have been built with slight maneuverability, allowing them to assist Destroyer in rapid dodges.
T-96 Angel Wings
Improved designs of Striker Berserker's T-32 Angel Wings. These new wings allow Destroyer to reach speeds of over 275+ mph when in a full sprint. This has made it the fastest Jaeger ever built. When combined with rear jets the Jaeger's speed can reach 300+ mph, though moving at such speeds is very risky.
15/8X Upgraded Thorny Spikes, foot mounted [retractable]
Similar in design to the ones of Cherno Omega, these new spikes have retractable thorns that when deployed can make it almost impossible to pull them out of wherever they are. Along with the increased number of spikes their deployment system has been upgraded.
CE/2.10 Detachable Limbs
Explosive bolts placed at the joint of each limb allows Destroyer to intentionally separate any limb if necessary. While originally criticized for its potential failure rate, voluntarily separating a Jaeger's limb has been proven multiple times to decrease the risk of destruction when a Jaeger is being ripped apart by a kaiju.
CHQ///NG.16 Hydrorepulsers
While Destroyer's mission plan was not intended for extended underwater operations, upgraded versions of Shaolin Rogue's Hydrorepulsers have been outfitted onto Destroyer's back. Like their predecessor these allows Destroyer to travel horizontally underwater, as well as rapid ascension in emergencies.
N/P2 Escape Pods
A slightly modified variant of the tried and true Jaeger escape pod mechanism.
Systems:
1BY//3MF.3Primary Nuclear Vortex Turbine
Gipsy Destroyer is powered by a single experimental primary reactor. In one minute this reactor produces enough energy to power all of New York City for a week.
AM///Leib Backup Reactor
Gipsy Destroyer is also equipped with a secondary backup reactor. When the first one is over exerted and requires cooling or to build up its power reserves, the Jaegers systems are set to automatically switch to the standard backup reactor. This ensures that Destroyer should be able to perform consistently with very little time spent recharging its energy supply.
NWT/SEB.19 Energy Cells
As a tertiary source of backup Gipsy Destroyer has energy cells akin to the ones installed since the Mark-4 line. While finite, a full charge can allow an extra 12 hours of mission time if the primary and secondary reactors are damaged or drained. If the mission allows it the backup reactor can slowly recharge Destroyer's energy cells, though the process is very slow.
TNDo///CHI Synapse System
Gipsy Destroyer is installed with the most advanced fluid synapse system ever built. Designed by the now retired Dr. Caitlin D'Onofrio her last invention achieved a long held dream of hers, a Jaeger with zero Pilot-Jaeger input lag. This means Gipsy Destroyer now moves in perfect sync with its pilots.
M10-11 Honeycomb Sensor Array
Gipsy Destroyer boasts the most advanced and powerful sensor suite of an Jaeger. J-Tech Technicians and researchers have joked that Gipsy Destroyer has its own brain. While ultimately untrue these beliefs are not unfounded.
GLD\\KRN J-AI Backup Drift System (ROOK)
With the introduction of smarter AI built into Jaegers in 2040 with the launch of Horizon Bravo, a special AI was designed alongside Gipsy Destroyer's development. Though it's not fully conscious the built in AI (ROOK) can act as a temporary Drift partner if one of the Jaeger's pilots is incapacitated. ROOK is also able to partially control and regulate the Jaeger's systems and weapons deployment.
Note: Madomuh's height of 50 meters is a little confusing. Its either his total height (which would make him too small), or its to the height of his shoulder ridges. I believe the shoulder ridge height is more accurate because art on the voting website shows his main body being similar in size to everyone else, even though it isn't exactly 50 meters tall. Take his height as more of an average than an absolute.
Pictured in the image is the Burj Khalifa (the tallest man made structure on Earth), Mount Everest (The Highest point on Earth), and the Marianas Trench / Challenger Deep (The deepest natural point on Earth). Everything in this image is to scale.
Olympus Mons, the largest mountain in the Solar System and located on Mars, is also in the image. As well as the worlds tallest mountain Mauna Kea (its taller than Everest from base to peak, but most of its underwater)
These aren't even continents, these are just parts of one. In fact Everest and Challenger Deep just sit on fault lines. Real continents are much bigger because you know... you can literally see them from space. Picturing an actual continent would mean everything in this image wouldn't even be visible, or all contained within 1 pixel.
Whenever I see someone unironically claim that Gipsy is "planetary level" and that Jaeger's can destroy entire continents I just have to roll my eyes. Not only does it automatically show that they have no sense of the real scale of the world, but do we ever see anything of that size actually get destroyed in PR ever?* Some people claim that Striker's self detonation was capable of destroying continents, yet not only is the continent they are on still there but not even the fish near Gipsy were burned or blasted into pieces, let alone the hydrothermal vents.
But it also feels like they have no respect or actual love for the franchise. It seems like they just like a fictional number they (or someone else) made up and want it to go higher. Its reducing a franchise meant to be a love letter to the Mecha and Kaiju genre and just reducing it to a number.
*(and no Gipsy didn't destroy the entire Anteverse like people claim. We go back to the same spot Gipsy blew up in Final Breach and its still there and thriving. Not even the mountains were destroyed).
From White Dwarf articles: 486, 489, 495, 497, created by Games Workshop employee Joe Naber. I also took some lore from Naber's Instagram and website.
“Knowledge is a dangerous companion if you lack the wisdom on when to apply it.”
- Ingeniator Craftmaster Falah Yusuf
The Ingeniators hail from the world Ingenisus, located in the northern edge of Imperium Nihilus. The world is full of technological marvels and scientists that improve and innovate on human tech. This obviously leads to tensions with the Imperium and the Adeptus Mechanicus. The only reason the chapter and their homeworld isn't censured is due to the Ingeniators excellent battle records.
Ingenisus is also located near the Leages of Votann's The Conclave of Progress. The chapter and the Imperium tolerates the conclave, and occasionally fights alongside them, but the relationship is rocky.
Marines of the chapter tinker with their armor and are pretty individualistic. This same propensity for tinkering applies to their vehicles. Heavily modifying their speeders, tanks, and Dreadnoughts with modifications 100% not approved by the Mechanicus.
The chapter (and probably their homeworld) are inspired by the Middle East (specifically Jordan where the chapters creator has heritage). The Ingeniators (and probably the people of Ingenisus) prepare a Kaffiyeh when they come of age at 16 standard years. Marines then can wear it when they are cited for deeds of excellence in the fields of science, engineering, art, or honored battle. As they earn more honors they can increase the size or length of the Kaffiyeh, the longer the Kaffiyeh is the more competent and honored the marine is (In the images Lieutenants and veterans have especially long ones). The chapter is very utilitarian and pragmatic, but the Kaffiyeh is one of the few decorations they wear.
The chapter views art, poetry, and music as pivotal for a marine to be well rounded, sound of mind, and culturally aware. Marines of the chapter are very somber and serious when it comes to war, undertaking it with a practical and straightforward manner.

My thoughts:
I really like this chapter. Their creator said he was inspired by mecha anime and 80s industrial gear when making them, both things I love. Their lore is also very interesting and unique, almost like a pre-Age of Strife Space Marine force. I wonder if they are an Iron Hands successor that got over the flesh is weak mantra, maybe channeling that into innovation instead of self hatred.
I suspect their homeworld is kind of like a Middle Eastern styled forgeworld, but maybe a bit nicer than your average Imperium craft world. The chapter also 100% has some cool tech hidden away like the Iron Hands, but maybe even more advanced and deadly. The chapters culture is also very unique, I haven't seen many Space Marine chapters be inspired by Middle Eastern cultures. Its a nice change of pace from the bog standard Romans but X color theme a lot of chapters go for.
They first appeared in White Dwarf 515. I can't read the article but I haven't seen any lore about them so I'm assuming there's none. I'm not sure if they're even canon. The following lore is just my interpretation.
Founding Chapter: Unknown
Founding: Unknown (Early M36)
Chapter Master: Kurem Kalil
Homeworld: Tanjin
The Clementine Knights are a successor chapter founded in early M36. They've been tasked with defending the prominent Agri-World Tanjin. Located in the Segmentum Obscurus its infamous for producing sweet orange fruits that Imperial elites around the galaxy love.
In the five millennia since the chapters founding they've garnered many honors, whether it was the beheading of Ork Warboss Urg The Star Eater or The Purging of Hedonia, the Clementine Knights have cemented themselves as a reliable force within the Imperium.
Tanjin has not shared in this success. Once considered "lush" and "clean" by Agri-World standards by late M41 the world has devolved into a wasteland so toxic and polluted even the Clementine Knights hesitate to travel to the planets surface. This pollution has also effected the Knight's neophyte trials, with less and less passing with each generation.
After the opening of the Great Rift Tanjin has seen near constant invasion by the forces of Nurgle. While the initial forces were held back with some success, the Clementine Knights command are contemplating ordering Exterminatus on the planet and moving on.
Chapter culture:
Due to protecting a world highly valued by the Imperium's elite the Clementine Knights have fostered a close relationship with some of the wealthiest in the Imperium. Within the Segmentum Obscurus it's not uncommon to see a high ranking noble guarded by two company veterans (one of the highest honors a marine in the chapter can receive)
The chapters cult believes the Emperor is a god and its the chapters divine duty to protect his empire and those who rule it. Marines in the chapter do not care for the average Imperium citizen, willing to sacrifice thousands of civilians to save the life of a single noble. This attitude has led to strained relations with the Imperium's human military, with fights between Marines and Guardsman during missions being common.
How would you write the Clementine Knights lore?
Some of us thought it was a god, some still do. Others believed it was a freak accident, a one off tragedy never to be repeated. We were wrong. On August 10th, 2013 what we now know as a kaiju emerged from deep beneath the ocean and attacked San Francisco, the first shot in a war for our survival.
We all remember the images from K-Day, Trespasser ripping the Golden Gate Bridge in half, his body covered in fire and debris as he rampaged through the wharf, a mushroom cloud tinted blue with blood as Trespasser lay twitching in the bay.
We all thought Trespasser was dead. But two hours later he jerked himself awake and headed for Oakland. Oakland fell in less than a day. By midnight he was done with the city and moved to Hayward. Just like Oakland Trespasser spent the day ravaging the city, making sure not building was left standing.
Eventually he made his way down to San Mateo, where he was struck again by a nuclear bomb. Just like days prior we watched and prayed as he laid still in the smoldering ruins of the city, hoping that it was over.
For a second time we watched in horror as Trespasser rose like a corpse, his skin melted away and glowing blue blood pouring from every inch of his body. The immense beast, ceaseless in its effort to destroy us, clawed and scraped its way through the night towards San Jose.
There on the morning of its sixth day of destruction it was struck with one final nuke. A bomb stronger than everything before it. We were promised it was a kaiju killer. It would put an end to this divine retribution.
From a hidden site hundreds of miles away in the mountains the warhead was launched. A nuclear arrow aimed directly at the heart of Trespasser. Whether it was luck or something else the arrows path was true. Upon contact the minuscule warhead burst with the fury of a small star. It blew open Trespasser's stomach like a balloon, the force flipping the monster on its back. Unable to move Trespasser was forced to watch the dawn of a day it will never see. With a final shudder as it tried to breath from lungs that didn't exist anymore the beast was finally put down.
With tens of thousands dead and millions missing K-Day, and the following week, became the worst tragedy in American history. The attack was many firsts. The first attack on US soil since World War 2. The first use of atomic bombs in warfare since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And the first time the kaiju entered our lives.
- Felicity Kincaid, Kaiju War Historian
Got inspired by a post a few hours ago covering the chapter, so I decided to make the chapter using SM2 and take some photos. Never heard of these guys before but their heraldry is pretty neat.
So I've heard from a friend that Hiya Toys is looking for a new monster IP to pick up. And they asked me to make a post asking all of you to make some noise so Pacific Rim could be picked next. (its just a rumor for now but who knows, if its true it could be pretty big for the community + it could send a message that we want more PR figures released).
I included a picture of a Robocop mech as an example of the companies attention to detail when making robots as a potential example of how detailed a Jaeger model could be. I also included Shimo to show what a PR kaiju could look like.
To me I think any new toy would be great, and I really like Hiya Toys figures. They're not cheap but they are highly detailed for their price and their posing is usually great, same with their quality. If they make their figures in scale with the Monstervserse figures that would be amazing. Imagine the photo opportunities.
Hiya would also be a good replacement for Lingihun's line for when that's eventually cancelled someday.

1:11:29 (Image 1&3)
Crimson Typhoon immediately blocks the unprotected Conn-Pod with one of its arms.
1:11:29 (Image 4)
Instead of striking the Jaeger's head Otachi hits the Jaeger's unprotected back. This staggers the Jaeger forward.
1:11:30 (Image 5)
The blow knocks Typhoon forward and for a split second its defenses fall.
1:11:30 (Image 6)
Otachi prepares its killing blow while Typhoon is staggered.
1:11:32 (Image 7)
In the 2 seconds it took for Otachi's tail to come down on Typhoon was already prepared to block the blow, even if it wasn't the best block.
1:11:32 (Image 8)
Despite the block Otachi was able to bypass the Jaeger's defenses without hitting its hands, allowing the kaiju to grab onto the Jaeger's head.
1:11:33-34 (Image 9&10)
Otachi's tail claws breach the Conn-Pod.
1:11:46 (Image 11)
For 10 seconds Crimson Typhoon puts up a fight against Otachi, and might've tried to grab its tail with its right arms.
1:11:47 (Image 12)
The attempt failed and Crimson Typhoon's Conn-Pod was crushed, killing its pilots instantly. Note: See the bit of the sawblades in the top left, I theorize those could've been an attempt at grabbing or cutting Otachi's tail off.
1:11:49 (Image 13)
Otachi twists and decapitates Crimson Typhoon.

In the codex file for Osseus it was once referred to as the Gore fields of Jekkad, suggesting the region is an older part of Hell (maybe not long after Davoth was betrayed).
However in the temple to a High Council member (most likely Ozalith the Old Mother) (Image 2) in the entrance there is a mural with an alter to what looks like a Cosmic Elemental or Xal'Goroth himself. On that same mural we see art of Cosmic Barons fighting (Image 4).
I think this temple implies that the Cosmic Realm has had a much older relationship with Hell than previously thought, maybe even one of reverence, and that Ozalith is tied to that relationship somehow.
With 3.0 they expanded the in game map of New Eridu in all directions, which could tease at the location of some places we know exist but haven't seen / or been identified yet.
All of the green regions are labels I added. Also despite the geographic errors in the official maps locations, I decided to keep them here for simplicity's sake.
Places I added and my explanation for them.
Eridu Ruins - While not green I added this to the right of Hollow Zero just like what we see during the first lore teaser (Image 2)
Expansion Zone - Also white on my chart despite not being in the in game map. The same reason for the Eridu Ruins applies here, though I suspect most of it would be outside of the map.
Faunus Quarter - Faunus Quarter is described as being under construction / having constant land development. I put it with the expansion zone since they fit thematically. Realistically the label should be off the map.
Vulcan Quarter - In all honesty I don't have much of an explanation beyond there being no other regions of New Eridu (below The Chasm) where another district could be. Judging by the Janus and Throne Quarter they are fairly large, so just like the Faunus Quarter its most likely off the map.
Minerva and Pluto Quarter - Both of these regions had parts of them swallowed by Hollow Zero during The Fall of the Old Capitol. That means both have to be above The Chasm.
In all reality both could be swapped with each other and should be farther apart. I just included them next to HZ because the Hollow overlaps each other.
Helios Academy - Helios Academy was in the Minerva Quarter, so I put it near the label and right on the border of HZ. I am unsure if Helios was swallowed by HZ, but it is a restricted zone. Honestly it could be anywhere in the northern part of the map.
Papago Hollow - Also not on the in game map and not green, but we know the Hollow is in the Outer Ring but not the one near Blazewood. Since the island / high plateau that makes up the Outer Ring seems to end in the South I assumed it is to the east of Blazewood.
Cretan Hollow - The Cretan Hollow is on the border of Janus Quarter and neighbors the old Capitol. If we assume just outside the right of the map is another Quarter / The Expansion zone that would place this Hollow right on Janus' border.
The only problem is the Cretan Hollow is one of the Six Great Hollows, but unlike Lemnian isn't labeled. However we know that the Cretan Hollow has many companions Hollows, which the large unnamed one is surrounded by a bunch.
Dead End Hollow - Despite hosting a massive Ethereal the Dead End Hollow is actually pretty small (image 3). Out of all the small Hollows surrounding the (Cretan?) Hollow its the only one that covers water, thus needing a bridge to access the cut off community on the other side (The main plot point of Chapter 1's ending).
14th Street Hollow - The 14th Street Hollow is a small one (at least in the start of the game) so I just chose the next smallest one after the Dead End Hollow.
(B)? Hollow - Honestly no clue what Hollow this could be. Maybe its the one that trapped one of the Proxies in the games first interlude/intermission, or it could be a more significant Hollow. I honestly don't know
(A)? - This Hollow is a mystery to me. This map was its first appearance and the beginning of season 3 was its second ever appearance. Maybe its a small companion of one of the Six Great Hollows, or some offshoot of Hollow Zero.
All of this is speculation, so I could be completely wrong on everything. I also could've missed something crucial which could change up the entire map. Especially with the possible Cretan companion Hollows, either of those could be wrong in my eyes.
If there is anything I missed I'd love to know.

Stationed permanently in the Hong Kong Shatterdome (2017-2024)
Mokoi, Cat II, Darwin (Australia), August 20, 2017;
Deployed alongside Mark-3 Vulcan Specter, the pair of Jaegers intercept the kaiju in the Beagle Gulf. During the battle the kaiju proved resistant to most of the Jaeger's attacks. Mokoi eventually pounced on Vulcan Specter and began an attempt at biting the Jaeger's upper torso/head. Shaolin Rogue responded by firing its Shooting Stars at the kaiju, blinding both the kaiju and Specter. At the same moment Specter's pilots fired their Plasma Cannon point blank into the kaiju's torso. The shot sent the kaiju flying back and ripped a hole in its stomach, killing it.
(Mokoi looks like a cross between Onibaba and a snapping turtle. It was covered is bright blue armor and thin crab like legs. Its head rested inside of its torso, where it used its long neck to strike out and bite at Jaegers)
Razorfin, Cat III, Okinawa (Japan), September 6, 2018;
Deployed alongside Mark-4 Echo Saber, the pair of Jaegers intercept Razorfin off the coast of Okinawa but the battle quickly moves onto land. There Echo Saber is disabled by the kaiju and Shaolin Rogue is severely damaged. Razorfin escapes the island and begins swimming towards Shanghai, but Shaolin Rogue gives chase. For 1 hour Shaolin Rogue chases the kaiju in open sea, and eventually manages to kill it. But in the kaiju's death throes it damages the Jaeger and causes it to sink with the kaiju's corpse.
(Razorfin looks exactly like image 3)
Scrooge, Cat I, Tasman Sea/Christchurch (New Zealand), April 20, 2020;
Deployed alone in the Tasman Sea, Shaolin Rogue was sent to intercept the kaiju in deep waters before it could make landfall. After a brief skirmish Scrooge is able to escape from the Jaeger. The kaiju would later be killed by Solar Prophet and Scepter Lion off the coast of Christchurch.
(Scrooge was bipedal similarly to Itak and Ragnarok. Sprouting from it's back was a pair of arms that wrapped forward and split into 2 more individual arms, totaling 4 arms. Its face was also humanoid, with a giant under bite that took up most of the kaiju's head. It had a very small brain)
Chang, Cat II, Bai Tu Lang Bay (Vietnam), February 17, 2021;
Deployed alone off the coast of Vietnam the fight goes poorly very quickly. Chang rips Shaolin Rogue's Meteor Chain out of its arm very early on in the fight, essentially disabling its right arm. The kaiju uses this opportunity to escape and attempt to make landfall but an hour later Rogue catches up with the kaiju in Bai Tu Lang Bay. During the fight Shaolin Rogue gets pinned against a cliff as Chang repeatedly tries to crush the Jaeger's Conn-Pod. Nova Hyperion is sent as backup but won't arrive in time. Rogue decides to trade blows with it's Carbide Lance, and after 20 minutes of back and forth fighting it is able to kill the kaiju by skewering its brain.
(More on this fight and the kaiju's description here)
Taurax, Cat III, Mindanao (Philippines), July 24, 2022;
Shaolin Rogue is deployed to protect Palau in case the kaiju deviates from course. Taurax does not, instead continuing to the Philippines where it is killed by Striker Eureka
(To be revealed in the Mechapedia)
Tentalus, Cat III, East China Sea, September 7, 2022;
Deployed alongside Mark-4 Crimson Typhoon, the Jaeger pair are sent to fight Tentalus before it could make landfall. Shaolin Rogue manages to fight and kill the kaiju while almost completely submerged.
(To be revealed in the Mechapedia)
Interlude:
Following the Tentalus Incident Hong and Patel were found murdered inside their apartment. The culprits were never found. Ou-Yang Min-Hau and Suyin are assigned as their replacements.
Rakshasa, Cat IV, Singapore, May 1, 2023;
Deployed alongside Mark-1 Horizon Brave and Mark-4 Crimson Typhoon, the Jaeger trio intercept the kaiju in the Singapore Strait. During the fight Rakshasa uses its spear like tongue to pierce the left side of Shaolin Rogue's Conn-Pod, almost killing its pilots. Eventually the kaiju is killed when Crimson Typhoon shoves its Plasmacaster into the kaiju's mouth and fires it, killing the kaiju and melting half of the Jaeger's arm.
(More on the fight and kaiju's appearance here)
Huo Da, Cat III, Shanghai (China), January 2, 2024;
Originally deployed alone due to Crimson Typhoon's deployment being delayed. Rogue intercepts the kaiju 100 miles out to sea, but the battle quickly moves to the coast where Crimson Typhoon is finally deployed and kills the kaiju.
However Huo Da undergoes metamorphosis and a new winged kaiju emerges from the old ones corpse. This new Huo Da picked up Shaolin Rogue and flies away with it and throws the Jaeger into the Shanghai World Financial Center. Shaolin Rogue separates it's arm, dropping from the kaiju to give Crimson Typhoon a clear shot. Typhoon kills the kaiju. But as Shaolin Rogue hits the ground its Conn-Pod is crushed, killing the Ou-Yang's instantly.
(Kaiju appears the same as in canon)
Aftermath:
Shaolin Rogue's remains would be taken to Oblivion Bay, but shortly after removed and its metal recycled to help build sections of the Anti-Kaiju wall in Shanghai and Beijing.
In 2025 Dr. Newton Geizler would break into Shaolin Rogue's sealed off repair bay and steal extra components for its Pons System. He would jury rig these components to allow him to drift with a piece of Mutavore's brain. Later Dr. Herman Gottlieb would join his colleague in using Rogue's Pons System to drift with a dying Baby Otachi.

Present. Alisa and Alya Petrova were in the Drift.
“Initiating neural handshake,” LOCCENT control informed them.
And now they were Eden Assassin
And Eden Assassin was not alone. Beside the old Jaeger was a relic. The two hundred and fifty-five foot tall frame of Romeo Blue treaded through the water the same as Eden, its bright blue paint contrasting against the dark waters of Russia. Inside its Conn-Pod was Bruce and Trevin Gage, legends of the Mark-1 glory days. Just like the sisters they had a storied career, but all of their battles were in the Americas. Up here the Americans were out of their element. Normally LOCCENT would’ve sent someone from Anchorage, probably Brawler Yukon, or if they were lucky, Chrome Brutus. But a fault was found in the Shatterdome’s Jumphawk refueling system so Los Angeles sent Romeo Blue instead.
“Romeo Blue in position, Miracle Mile.” A voice said over the comms, probably Trevin Alisa thought. “Romeo Blue holding the coastline. Beacon is on.” came the same voice.
“Eden Assassin in position, Miracle Mile.” Alya relayed into the comms. “Eden Assassin holding the coastline. Beacons on.” Said Alya, a ping sounding through the Conn-Pod as the Jaeger’s radar located Romeo Blue a few hundred feet away.
“Rangers, keep your eyes open. Just because this is a Category II doesn’t permit you to be lazy.” Ordered the voice of Marshal Konstantin Scriabin, his English heavily accented.
Gutterball had dropped off K-Watch’s sensors a few minutes earlier, requiring the Jaeger’s to actively patrol the Miracle Mile. After a few minutes of patrolling Eden got a small blip on its radar, followed by a massive form emerging from the water on the Jaeger’s right. The second Gutterball was upright it began running towards the city, passing the Miracle Mile in seconds.
“Eden coming up on your 3 o’clock!” Yelled Scriabin.
But Eden was already in pursuit of the kaiju. Unlike Romeo Blue the Jaeger was built for speed. It used to be the fasted in the fleet but has long since been overshadowed by newer generations. But they weren’t here, and Eden was. After a few seconds they caught up with the kaiju and leaped, the Jaeger’s rear jets provided much of the lift. On their way down Alya moved her arm to sucker punch the kaiju in the back of… whatever its body was.
The punch landed with a satisfying thud, thousands of tons of force being applied to what Alisa thought was the kaiju’s back. But suddenly pain shot up through both of their left arms, searing flesh rendering pain. Eden’s sensors warned them that their left hand and forearm was covered in a thin layer of acid that was began eating away their armor. The area where they had punched the kaiju was now surrounded by a noxious cloud of acid. Alya or Alisa, neither of them knew who noticed it first, realized that all the lumps on the kaiju’s body were likely sacks of acid.
“LOCCENT. Its covered in some type of acid, we can’t touch this thing!” Yelled Alya into her comms.
Before LOCCENT could respond one of the Gage Twins yelled for them to get out of the way, which wasn’t a problem since Gutterball had ignored their punch and kept up its march towards the city.
From Romeo Blue came a two beams of bullets from its gatling guns inside its chest. Even a mile away Alisa could hear the buzzing of the oversized guns firing, they reminded her of the A-10 Warthogs the American’s sent to fight Cophony out at sea. Unlike Cophony these bullets had an effect on Gutterball. From somewhere inside the kaiju it roared in pain as its right side suddenly exploded with the barrage of bullets. All over the kaiju its acid sacks began exploding, releasing clouds of acid that engulfed the kaiju. But this began to work in the kaiju’s favor as it now hid inside cloud, but not for long.
Just as quickly as it disappeared it reemerged from the cloud, seemingly unperturbed by the hundreds of holes in its body.
“Eden go defend the coastline, Romeo keep the heat on the kaiju but do not engage it” Ordered Scriabin in LOCCENT.
Alisa could tell Alya didn’t like being sidelined like that, neither did she, but they both followed their orders. As they both got Eden Assassin to a full sprint they could hear Romeo Blue’s continue barrage on the kaiju. Both of them thought the Marshal’s plan had sound reasoning behind it, but Eden wasn’t built for defensive combat, that would better fit Romeo Blue. They also knew that at a top sprint Gutterball could probably beat the old Mark-1, so Eden will have to do in the meantime.
As they ran Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky came into view, like most cities it couldn’t be fully evacuated so most of its population was huddled inside bunkers underneath the city. Miles off the coast the flashes of Romeo’s battle could be seen in the fog. Alisa hopefully thought Romeo Blue could kill the kaiju before it reached the city, but she doubted it.
“ETA five minutes on your position Petrova’s.” Warned Scriabin.
So the Marshal also believes Romeo can’t stop the kaiju thought Alisa with Alya’s silent agreement felt in the Drift. Either way both prepared to intercept the rapidly approaching kaiju which had now exited the fog and could be seen clearly. Now that they were in front of the kaiju they could see it had a face, or what resembled one. Deep inside its bulbous chest was a small bony lump. Alya though it looked like a hairless bulldog with four eyes. As it charged towards the city it looked at Eden with pure hatred for blocking its path. The sisters responded in kind by outstretching their arms to block the kaiju and prepare for the inevitable pain of the impact.
But Gutterball didn’t ram them like they thought it would. With surprising flexibility for a creature that was essentially a ball with legs it leaned to the side and leaped at the Jaeger. Its massive bulk crashing into the Jaeger and sending it tumbling over backward. Whether intentional or out of luck it used its non-damaged side bash the Jaeger, with almost all of its acid sacks erupting on contact. Alisa and Alya screamed in pain as they attempted to roll and stop the Jaeger from sliding further into the city. Sensors and warnings all around the Jaeger were reporting massive damage to their outer layers of armor, most of it completely dissolved away.
“Eden give it a rest for a bit, we got this” Came a voice from Romeo Blue’s comms.
Off in the distance Alisa could see Romeo Blue arriving in the city and sucker punching the kaiju in its right side. With shocking speed Romeo pivoted to face the kaiju and began pummeling its face, its hydraulic fists delivering punches faster than anything the sisters could deliver with Eden.
But Gutterball was seemingly unfazed by the flurry of punches even as its face was being turned to blue mush. It was still advancing into the city one step at a time. Romeo Blue tried to dig its feet in as much as it could, but the Gage’s weren’t able to get a foothold and kept slipping.
Alisa and Alya willed the Jaeger to get up from the ground, and the great machine followed their movements. But Gutterball’s acid must’ve done more damage to them than they thought. The Jaeger’s joints were stiff and its gears were slipping, causing every joint to shudder as it moves. Alisa read the Jaeger’s readouts, less than half of its systems were offline, that was good enough for the both of them to fight.
“Eden stay down! We’ve got this… What th-” Said one of the Gage twins, sudden shock filling his voice.
Alisa could see what drew their attention. Now that the kaiju was in the center of the city it suddenly stopped moving. From underneath its skin something began to ripple – no – expand. Its skin, a mishmash of patches of armor and differently colored pieces of skin, began to expand at the seams where one piece ended and another began. In the Drift Alisa could feel Alya’s confusion at the kaiju’s sudden expansion. Was something going to crawl out of it like in Panama? Whatever was happening the Gage Twins seemed to recognize what was going to happen.
“Petrova’s! Watch ou…” Yelled on of the Gage Twins as Romeo Blue hugged the kaiju.
In the split second they had to prepare Eden Assassin took a knee to brace for whatever was about to happen. Not a second later they were blinded by a flash of bright white light, followed by a sound louder than anything they’ve ever heard before. And then everything went dark.
…
Miraculously their Drift somehow hadn’t been broken. As Alisa could feel her sister come to the same realization at her. Gutterball blew up. Outside the world was dark, darker than before. They couldn’t have been out for that long or they wouldn’t be in a Jaeger. No, that was not the sky, it was smoke thought Alisa. She and Alya looked upwards, Eden barely responded. Above them they truly see what was in front of them, a mushroom cloud. Inside it were the signature blue streaks of aerosolized kaiju blood. In the Drift Alisa could feel Alya’s shock and horror. Were they nuked? No that couldn’t be it, the blast must’ve come from Gutterball.
With that sudden realization they both looked to where Gutterball and Romeo Blue were standing. All that remained was Gutterball’s legs standing upright as if its body was still there, and the shattered remains of Romeo Blue’s lower half. Alisa realized that everything behind Romeo Blue had been spared from the worst of the damage, including Eden Assassin.
“Eden! E-en! Do you c—y! Petrova’s!” Yelled Scriabin into the comms.
“We’re here LOCCENT.” Responded Alya, her voice strained and hoarse.
“Petrova’s get out of there! Somethings crawling out of the kaiju’s remains!” Scriabin continued to yell.
Alisa could see what he was talking about. Off in the distance tiny creatures were tunneling themselves out of Gutterball’s remains. All kaiju’s had parasites, but some were worse than others, and the ones from Gutterball looked downright evil. Each one was shaped like a snake, with a head shaped like a drill bit. Each one tunneled out of the kaiju by spinning itself rapidly. As they hit the ground they continued spinning, digging themselves under the rubble and travelling who knows where.
“Eden prepare for pickup. An orders been given to the city to evacuate, that includes you.” Commanded Scriabin.
He knew they would protest thought Alisa, and in the Drift she could feel Alya’s rising protest. The thought of another Jaeger dying on their watch was agonizing. They swore to never let it happen again after last year. But the Jaeger could barely move, it likely couldn’t even stand up. After a few minutes she could hear the sound of Jumphawk’s nearby, followed by the Jaeger being lifted limply into the air.
…
In the following weeks after Gutterball’s attacks the parasites multiplied and spread across the Kamchatka Peninsula. Luckily the creatures weren’t aquatic and couldn’t burrow more than a meter below the ground so they couldn’t spread further. At great cost the PPDC declared the entire peninsula to be lost and restricted any and all civilian entrance. This didn’t stop kaiju organ harvesters from secretly entering the peninsula and hunting Gutterball’s parasites. The creatures were prized for their leather, with the top Kaiju Organ harvesters almost always included in their outfits.
Romeo Blue’s very limited remains would be brought to Oblivion Bay by a barge. But they were shortly taken out and recycled down for steel to help built the Los Angeles Anti-Kaiju Wall. Extensive efforts to search for the Gage Twin’s remains were made, but the official conclusion was they were instantly killed in Gutterball’s self-destruction.

Vaulimi
Guayaquil, Ecuador
January 11, 2017
Category: II
Jaeger(s) Deployed: Lucky Seven, Diablo Intercept
Killed by Lucky Seven and Diablo Intercept
Passed Miracle Mile: Yes
Made Landfall: Yes (not in city)
Battle Description:
The Jaeger pair intercepted the kaiju at the mouth of the Rio Guayas. For 3 hours the Jaeger's slowly lost ground until the battle reached Isla Santay. On the island Lucky Seven jumped onto the kaiju's back and used its arms to force the kaiju's mouth open, allowing Diablo Intercept to fire its flamethrowers directly in the kaiju's throat. This burned the kaiju's mouth and ignited the noxious fumes emanating from the kaiju, triggering an explosion directly below the kaiju's brain. The blast liquefied the Vaulimi's primary brain, killing the kaiju instantly.
Kaiju Description:
Vaulimi was crocodilian in appearance. It had 8 legs (4 on each side) and a prehensile tail. Its back and head was covered in thick armor plating, but the inside of its underside and inside of its mouth were unarmored. It had grayish-blue skin with orange bioluminescent patterns on its body. It attacked with both its gigantic jaw and prehensile tail, biting or grabbing Jaegers.
Kaidan
Coast of Da Nang, Vietnam
March 16, 2017
Category: I
Jaeger(s) Responded: Horizon Brave, Acid Geisha
Killed by: Horizon Brave and Acid Geisha
Passed Miracle Mile: No
Made Landfall: N/A
Battle Description:
Kaidan was intercepted a mile out from Da Nang Bay at the Miracle Mile line. For 2 hours the Jaeger pair fought the kaiju. The kaiju was killed when Horizon Brave used its cryo-cannons to freeze the kaiju's legs, trapping it in place. Then from a distance Acid Geisha used its acid sprayers to shower the kaiju with acid, eating through its thinly armored skull and killing the beast.
Kaiju Description:
Kaidan looked similar to an iguana. Running down its armored back and to its tail was rows of small quill-like spines. It's legs were very stubby, and combined with its small body it was the shortest kaiju to ever emerge from The Breach. This was mostly a disadvantage but it allowed the kaiju to occasionally dip under water and hide from the Jaegers, necessitating it being frozen in place for the kill. It frequently used ambush tactics against Jaegers. It had smooth dark black skin with blue bioluminescent swirls covering its body.
Socorro
Panama Canal, Panama
May 3, 2017
Category: I
Jaeger(s) Responded: Puma Real, Solar Prophet
Killed by Puma Real and Solar Prophet
Passed Miracle Mile: No
Made Landfall: N/A
Battle Description:
The PPDC didn't know where Socorro would emerge, requiring Puma Real to guard the Panama Canal and Solar Prophet to guard the city. The kaiju emerged near the canal where it was fought by Puma Real. Solar Prophet arrived minutes later to assist the solo Jaeger. After many of its spikes were broken off or dulled by both Jaeger's missiles, Solar Prophet used its chest beam to burn the kaiju's face and knock it off its feet. This gave Puma Real the opportunity to use its claws and partially decapitate the kaiju, killing it almost instantly.
Kaiju Description:
Socorro closely resembled a thorny lizard. Covering its body was dozens of hardened spikes that made it almost impossible to grab the kaiju anywhere. This included the face, where 4 curved horns protruded from its skull. It had mottled dark blue spin with patches of light gray. Small bioluminescent streaks of yellow ran along the kaiju's side, ending at its eyes and mouth. It attacked predominantly with its body, attempting to use its hardened spikes to pierce Jaeger armor.
Cophony
Vladivostok, Russia
June 14, 2017
Category: I
Jaeger(s) Responded: Eden Assassin
Killed by Eden Assassin
Passed Miracle Mile: Yes (failed interception)
Made Landfall: No
Battle Description:
Cophony was intercepted 2 miles off the coast of Vladivostok. The kaiju was heavy armored all over its body, preventing Eden Assassin from doing any real damage to it. To overcome this Eden Assassin tore off the kaiju's front claw and jammed it through through the bottom of the kaiju's skull. The claw skewered its brain and killed the kaiju immediately. With the fight lasting just under an hour it became the fasted recorded kaiju kill, only to be beaten by Gipsy Danger in 2025.

Mokoi
Darwin, Australia
August 20, 2017
Category: II
Jaeger(s) Responded: Vulcan Specter, Shaolin Rogue
Killed by Vulcan Specter and Shaolin Rogue
Passed Miracle Mile: No
Made Landfall: N/A
Battle Description:
Mokoi was intercepted by the Jaeger pair 10 miles off the coast of Darwin in the Beagle Gulf. After 3 hours of fighting the kaiju pounced onto Vulcan Specter and attempted to bite at the Jaeger. To save the downed Jaeger Shaolin Rogue fired its Shooting Stars at Mokoi, the flash temporarily blinding the kaiju and both Jaeger's sensors. While still blinded Vulcan Specter seized the moment and fired a point blank Plasma Cannon shot into the kaiju's stomach. The blast flung the kaiju off the Jaeger and tore a hole in its stomach, causing the kaiju to bleed out and die in the bay.
Kaiju Description:
Mokoi resembled no known Earth creature. It had 4 crab-like legs and was covered in chitinous armor. Its head rested inside its body but protruded outward on a long flexible neck. Its head was similar to a snapping turtles, with a giant tooth it used to bite at Jaegers. It's armor was light blue with darker blue skin underneath. It's armor had thin yellow bioluminescent streaks covering its body.
Yamarashi
Long Beach, Los Angeles
October 17, 2017
Category: III
Jaeger(s) Responded: Solar Prophet, Gipsy Danger
Killed by Solar Prophet and Gipsy Danger
Passed Miracle Mile: Yes (failed interception)
Made Landfall: yes
Battle Description:
Yamarashi tore through the HMS Queen Mary, cutting the ship in half and destroying the Queensway Bridge before moving onto Terminal Island. Both Jaegers were then deployed into the mouth of the Los Angeles River, where Solar Prophet fired a missile barrage from its shoulders. The missiles did nothing to the kaiju which forced Gipsy to take over the fight. Eventually Gipsy was able to kill the kaiju by garrotting the kaiju with a crane cable and decapitating it. The acidic blood from the kaiju's neck almost dissolved through Gipsy's Conn-Pod, forcing the Jaeger to wash it off on the nearby water.
(Due to most of the fight taking place in an oil field neither Jaegers could use their incendiary weapons out of risk of igniting the entire battlefield)
Kaiju Description:

Nagual
La Paz, Mexico
December 19, 2017
Category: II
Jaeger(s) Responded: Matador Fury
Killed by Matador Fury
Passed Miracle Mile: Yes
Made Landfall: yes
Battle Description:
Nagual quickly broke through Matador Fury's defense of the Miracle Mile and made landfall in the city in record time. In the city Matador Fury had to frequently dodge or block Nagual's deadly charges. After 5 hours the Jaeger's pilots felt their drift beginning to fall apart. In one last ditch effort the pair grabbed onto the kaiju's horns and shoved its head to the ground. They then proceeded to pummel the kaiju's head until its armor and one of its horns broke. When the kaiju charged again Matador Fury forced the kaiju to the ground again and stabbed the horn in between the broken armor protecting the kaiju's brain, killing it instantly.
Kaiju Description:
Nagual looked remarkably similar to a bull. Its body was heavily muscled and covered in thick leathery skin. Its head looked very similar to Scunner but with smaller horns. Similar to Scunner the kaiju had gray skin with green bioluminescent markings. Despite being large and bulky the kaiju was deceptively fast, charging at its opponents in a hope to skewer them with there horns.
Drops: 5
Kills: 4
Launched October 30, 2016
Weapons: Shoulder mounted Anti-Kaiju missiles, Chest mounted beam (draws heat from the reactor and fuel cells on its back to fire a beam out of the emitter in the Jaeger's chest. A more refined version of Gipsy Danger's fuel purge)
Stationed permanently in the Lima Shatterdome (2016-2021)
Socorro, Cat I, Panama Canal (Panama), May 3, 2017;
Deployed alongside Mark-2 Puma Real. Puma Real was deployed to protect the canal, while Solar Prophet was sent to protect the city. The kaiju ended up attacking Puma Real first, forcing Solar Prophet to move in to assist the Jaeger. After a two hour long battle the pair were successful in killing the kaiju and preventing any damage to the Panama Canal.
(Socorro appeared similar to a cobra. Black skin with yellow bioluminescent marking (similar to Knifehead). Like cobras it had a hood around its neck that it used for intimidation)
Yamarashi, Cat III, Long Beach (Los Angeles), October 17, 2017;
Deployed alongside Mark-3 Gipsy Danger, the Jaeger pair intercept the kaiju a mile out to see. But Yamrashi quickly breaks through their defense and crashed through the Queen Mary, cutting the ship in half. Solar Prophet fired its missiles but they deflected off of the kaiju's back as it crashed through the Queensway Bridge. The Jaegers fight the kaiju in the port, with Gipsy eventually decapitating the kaiju with a crane wire. This covered the Jaeger's Conn-Pod with acidic blood that began to eat through the Conn-Pod, forcing Gipsy's pilots to wash the Jaeger off in the ocean.
(Yamarashi is in Image 3)
Bokugan, Cat III, Lima (Peru), October 2, 2019;
Deployed alongside Mark-3 Matador Fury and Mark-4 Hydra Corinthian. Solar Prophet was tasked with guarding an incoming cruise ship (that Stacker Pentecost's wife was on) but the Jaeger deviated course by a few miles. Bokugan then caught up with the ship and destroyed it, killing all on board. The kaiju was intercepted off the shore by the other Jaegers, and eventually Solar Prophet caught up with them. During the shoreline battle both Solar Prophet and Matador Fury were critically injured, with Solar Prophet losing function of its lower right arm and Matador Fury having its left arm ripped off. The kaiju was eventually killed by Matador Fury beating it to death with its severed arm
(Bokugan appears like a rattlesnake. Blackish leathery skin that is covered in scaled armor. like rattlesnakes it had a rattler, but it also functioned as a spiked club. The kaiju frequently attack by coiling up and launching at its foes with extreme speed and trying to bite into them)
Scrooge, Cat I, Christchurch (New Zealand), April 20, 2020;
Deployed alongside Mark-4 Scepter Lion. The kaiju was originally intercepted by Shaolin Rogue is the Tasman Sea, but the kaiju got away and swam below the island and headed towards Christchurch. There off the coast the kaiju was intercepted by Solar Prophet and Scepter Lion. Eventually after a 3 hour long battle the Jaegers were able to kill the kaiju.
(Scrooge was a very humanoid kaiju similar to Itak and Ragnarok. It walked on 2 legs and had 4 arms. 2 arms protruded from the kaiju's back, which wrapped around its torso and split into the 4 separate arms. Each arm ended in a clawed hand with 4 fingers. Its head was less humanoid, appearing to be almost all lower jaw with a small head)
Cadejo, Cat III, San Salvador (El Salvador), July 19, 2021;
Deployed alongside Mark-4 Hydra Corinthian, the Jaeger pair intercepted the kaiju off the coast but the kaiju made it past their defenses and made landfall in the city. In the city Solar Prophet was pounced on by Cadejo, proceeded by the kaiju ripping, clawing, and biting at the Jaegers upper torso. This forced the Jaeger's pilots to eject from the Jaeger as it was destroyed. Both pilots survived.
Puma Real was sent in as reinforcements and the it and Hydra Corinthian were eventually able to kill the kaiju.
(Cadejo looks remarkably similar to a Viperwolf from Avatar. It has 6 legs, a smooth body, and a long snout and a mouth full of teeth)
Solar Prophet's body was taken to Oblivion Bay, but a year later it was taken out and melted down and recycled for steel to be used in the Patagonia Anti-Kaiju Wall.
u/No-Town6472 asked an interesting question, and my comment got too long so I'm making it a post instead.
Post test:
>In the film, it was literally able to hurl Gipsy Danger with its bare hands and before thst, punch straight to Cherno Alpha's body and was able to rip its reactor. A strength level of 6 makes it less stronger than knifehead which had a strength of 7 and in the movie, it is literally the opposite
Leatherback looks strong, especially compared to Knifehead. The best example is the arms. Knifehead's arms (especially its forearms) have very little muscle compared to Leatherback.
But Knifehead's strength is not in his arms like most would think, instead its in his back. Looks at Knifehead's neck, down through its back, and to its tail. That is all pure muscle. Now look at Leatherback's back. Its more noticeable in the film but its almost all fat, no muscle at all.
In fact Leatherback's most muscular part of its body is only its arms, while Knifehead's entire neck, torso, and tail is very lean and muscular.
As for why Leatherback could throw better than Knifehead, despite being physically weaker. Think of it like humans and an orangutan. Orangutans are reportedly 5-7 times stronger than the average human, but a literal child can thrown an object better than them. This is due to the shape of there arms.
Due to a variety of reasons orangutans arms are significantly thinner than a humans arm (mostly shape and what type of muscles they use). But despite having less muscle mass than we do they are still stronger than most people. The same can be applied to Knifehead and Leatherback. Leatherback has more bulk but less strength. Another example would be a professional body builder compared to a professional weightlifter. The weight lifter's muscles are generally smaller, but more efficient and thus stronger.
I could be wrong with some of this, but that's my two cents on the matter.
