frothymug Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) I do like the new design. However, I also liked the old Gipsy Danger design, where the robot looked like a colossal, beefed-up, football linebacker. VERY 'Murica. frakk yeah. edit: I didn't know the forum automatically edits the f-word. Edited July 7, 2017 by frothymug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anime52k8 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I think it's a big improvement. I hated the mechs from the first movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I like the older ones---more unique. The new ones look very super-hero-esque. Neither unique nor very mecha/robot-like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 ^ Looks more like a generic Power Suit than a Mech... perfect for the former, mediocre for the latter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JB0 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Honestly, I think Gipsy 1 is more inspired by the oldschool Tetsujin and Mazinger era of robot design and Gipsy 2 is more modern Gundam style. Canonically, it is appropriate for a new Gipsy to resemble Striker Eureka more than Gipsy 1, but emotionally I really liked Danger and her presence will be missed.

If I had to guess, it's because Striker was the only Mark 5 Jaeger ever built. Depending on the timeline of the movie, it stands to reason that the designs would be similar.

JB0 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Right. Gipsy Danger is an old, obsolete model. If form follows function, as it should for something that large and complex, it makes sense that Gipsy 2 would bear little resemblance to the original.

kajnrig Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 For my part, I liked that the first movie designs were varied in their design influences/inspirations, and Gypsy 2.0, at least, seems... "safer." Still super cool, though, and definitely getting me hyped for the sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"safer." I also liked the varied design influences. I also thought it was interesting how the newest mech was the most "Gundam-y". Gipsy Avenger seems like an attempt to be more modern to me. Drawing more inspiration from the last decade of Gundam and less from the earliest of mech animes. The thing that disappoints me most about the design is that it looks less powerful. Gipsy Danger's bulk and lines gave it a sense of raw strength. It looked like something that couldn't move very fast, but you REALLY didn't want to still be around when it got there. Gipsy Avenger looks faster, more nimble... and weaker. Like it CAN'T punch Godzilla's head clean off his shoulders after shrugging off a burst of firebreath. But again, it also seems a logical evolution of the designs. We saw in the first movie they advanced from tanks with legs(Cherno Alpha, I love you, but lets call a spade a spade here) to the fairly sleek design of Striker Eureka, which to be frank LOOKED a lot less powerful than the rest no matter what it was actually capable of. Edit: Consulting with others, and it was also noted that Gipsy Avenger lacks a lot of the WW2 fighter plane feel of Danger. It feels less worn, and it lacks a lot of the paint details that gave a bit of personality to Danger. There's no pinstriping, no nose art, nothing. I really hope that the final Avenger has paint details we're not seeing yet. Edited July 8, 2017 by JB0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryoma Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 So i guess jaegers won't need two pilots anymore to be operated...no more drift. That would be too bad, for me it was one of the best ideas of the first chapter(which i loved). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryoma Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Really? I don't know about the fans around the world but here in Italy it was one of the things that were appreciated the most from the community.Also, Del Toro seemed to care a lot about the "bound" between the pilots. I guess this means that he has been much less involved than i expected. And judging from this first teaser i am starting to get a little worried. I like the design of the new Jaegers though.

JB0 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Heh. Looking at the trailer and freeze-framing the technical specification gibberish that flashes up during several shots... Gipsy Avenger is apparently equipped with a "reality diffusion array". And is describned as a "pilotable god" (41 and 45 seconds, respectively) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 If you really hate painting, these look like they would have a simple color separation for the parts. Thes will probably be easy to get, so waiting on a review after release wouldn't be so bad. Bandai rarely sells completely out of kits on standard release.
