The Kaiju are much more deadly and intelligent in the subsequence , and so the Jaegers - now a function of a global unified combat military force and not country - based , have substantially " good upgrades " to defend humanity against the next Book of Revelation . Here are the particular we know so far on all of thePacific Rim UprisingJaegers bring out so far :
1. Gipsy Avenger
Embracing the iconic and familiar intent to the principal Jaeger ofPacific Rim 1 , the Gipsy Avenger is the successor to Gipsy Danger . This Jaeger still operates on a two - pilot drift organization but the cockpit tech has changed significant with wheeler dealer feet no longer interlock into place , and holographical displays that mirror the action and weapons on the buffer . This unexampled way to visualize the fighting from pilot film to mech is demonstrated with a variety of weapons and Jaegers in thePacific Rim Uprisingtrailerunveiled during NYCC .
TheGipsy Avengerhas a fresh artillery call theGravity Slingwhich allows it to repeal up buildings and cars and launch them at Kaiju enemy . This Jaeger is the most challenging to work but the strongest .
" Gipsy Avenger observe the heroic legacy of her namesake as the flagship drawing card of the Mark VI fleet . More than just a Jaeger , she is a symbol of Bob Hope to billion . "
2. Bracer Phoenix
The quondam pattern of the five main Jaegers in Pacific Rim Uprising ( they ’re all Mark VI units and the Bracer Phoenix is a Mark V ) , the Bracer Phoenix is the real " brute military unit " of the fleet and can hold its own with its limited ability : This three - archetype rig can grant one cowcatcher to drop down to the Bracer Phoenix ’s chest area to operate the devastating pair ofVortex Cannons .
" A Mark V animal that can still feed with the VI ’s , Bracer Phoenix shoots from the chest , with a motor vortex shank that is as striking as it is deadly . "
3. Guardian Bravo
The Guardian Bravo is another beastly military force jaeger who has a really coolheaded weapon " Graphine Arc Whip " allowing it to specialise in ranged armed combat .
" Designed for combat at kitchen range , Guardian Bravo wields the Elec-16 Arc Whip : a proto - metallic heir to the chainsword , and brings a new sophistication to the chainsword ’s whiplash move . "
4. Titan Redeemer
The Titan Redeemer is easily recognisable thanks to the " orchis of death " attached to the end of its branch .
" Built for brute force and build up with a seismic morningstar , Titan Redeemer is the take the air wrecking ball of the novel fleet . "
5. Saber Athena
Saber Athena , orange in color , is the most in advance jaeger in the fleet , swift but experimental . It has plasma swords and requires a supremacy in martial art to fly .
" The silky and most elegant Jaeger ever create , Saber Athena is the fast in the fleet , wielding twin blades in hyper - acrobatic armed combat . "
6. Scrapper
As a little twist , there ’s also a little Jaeger called Scrapper . In the future there ’s a lot of scavenger slip textile to build their own jaegers out of the wrecked chaff of sure-enough Jaegers and ruins . This play into the melodic theme that anyone , no matter your background knowledge or who you are , can be hero .
" It ’s the human being inside the jaeger that ’s super . It ’s you times a thousand . “- Steven S. DeKnight
7. Obsidian Fury
Obsidian Fury is the very first drone image created by Newton Geiszler , under the influence of the Precursors . Obsidian Fury present the blueprint of the Jaeger - Kaiju hybrid Drones and was used by Newton as the standard model to mass bring on other dawdler with the approval of Liwen Shao , who pioneered the technology as an choice to buffer - controlled Jaegers constructed by the Pan Pacific Defense Corps .
Of course , given that half its learning ability is controlled by a Kaiju , it pass away AWOL and attacks a human metropolis . The Gypsy Avenger must then cover it to its extraction and best it in battle to win its plasma infused chain saw as weapon climb .
