The Robots of "Pacific Rim" Prepare for Battle

If there's one more reason to get excited about "Pacific Rim", it's the fact that Manila will figure as one of the world cities attacked by the sea monsters known as Kaiju. Sadly, we won't have our own giant robot (or known as Jaegers) to defend our shores so our probable destruction is expected. It won't harm to get to see the actual Jagers that will stop the Kaijus from obliterating humanity. Lucky you, we have images of the said Jaegers after the jump.

In the film, when legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes — a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi) — who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.


Opening across the Philippines in July 11 in 3D, 2D and regular theaters, “Pacific Rim” will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
