Tking22 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 A prequel maybe? Sequel. John Boyega is playing the son of Stacker Pentecost from the first movie, that was Idris Elba's character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Nice to see him going beyond Star Wars. I still may not watch this one as I never watched the first one, but good for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB0 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Apparently. In fairness, it was not a show to dwell on the background of supporting characters. There's nothing there to really imply Pentecost DIDN'T have a son, but... there wasn't anything to imply he did, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dio Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 It is great to see this film making progress, I loved the first one. That 2nd photo looks like he's holding a Star Trek phaser. Beautiful irony there, if it turns out to be something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaman Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 He still has it in his hand in the 3rd and 4th photos, not sure what it is but looks too unwieldy to be a weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just the way he's holding it in the 2nd one looks phaser-ish. Looking a little closer, is it maybe a toy robot? That would certainly fit the theme.

Big s Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I have to agree, these designs definitely look more anime, especially the red one. In the first film the pilot suits had a very anime look and now the jaegers are fitting in with that a bit more. I think that the red one may be a bit thin looking although it may be designed more for speed. Either way I'm far more interested now seeing more images and hoping for a great trailer soon and a movie that hopefully won't disappoint.

Tking22 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Loved the first one to death, can't wait for the sequel! Gypsy 2.0 looks awesome, and yes, much more anime inspired, which I'm fine with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kajnrig Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 What is "License! Global"? The sourcing seems odd... I'm a bit suspect, but just a bit. If it's real, then I like the direction it's going. I don't prefer it to the original, but I don't prefer the original, either. Both look good. That Gypsy 2.0 face plate is bleh, though. Reminds me too much of... Time Shift? I think that was the name of it. Old old PS3/360 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti88 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Looks like the cover of any old pc/console game heh...and there would be a screencap of the jaegers fighting the kaiju's on the back cover... Speaking of which how much more variation can a kaiju be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was the name of it. Old old PS3/360 game. That sounds right. Â Honestly, I think I like the new head unit(can I call it a pilder? Please?). It is appealing to a more modern anime aesthetic than the curvy Gypsy 1.0 head, but it works. And the straight "wings" work better for me than the old "over the shoulder" pieces.

Duymon Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 So...uh... They didn't learn that the cockpits on the heads are a bad idea after Crimson Typhoon's crew got smooshed so easily in the last movie? ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain america Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The new designs look good, although they could be pre-production or concept artwork. Regardless, it will be a long wait until the final product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â As I understand it, the official reason is that the neural interface hardware is very sensitive to radiation from the jaegars' reactors, and thus mounted very far from the core and stored separately from the rest of the jaegar when not in use. Of course, with the implication that newer jaegars aren't nuclear-powered, I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
