*Bob tries to use the lectern but is too short, so instead he clambers onto the top of it and wobbles confidently* To take a stand against the metal horde means to take things into our own hands. We should not let them reach our doorstep unopposed—and we SHALL NOT! We must strike first and bring the fight to them. This is where the Jaeger program comes in. Jaegers are giant mechs approximately 80m tall, piloted by 2 pilots. We use a dual crew because the mental load would simply be too much for one mind to bear alone. The pilots fight and move in perfect synchronisation with the mech. Armed with various specialized weaponry, these beasts fill different roles and are tasked with intercepting and disposing of automaton strike groups, buying us time to heighten our defences and produce more Jaegers. Furthermore, the robots are rumored to be developing giant monstrosities… and the only way to fight monsters, is to create monsters of our own. Jaegers are what turn the Last Bastion from a sanctuary to a spearhead.
———————————————————————— Jaeger Design ———————————————————————— Name: Raptor Jian Armament: Primary: 2x Long retractable blades one on each forearm (Named “Jian”) Secondary: 2x Shoulder mounted missile pods (Armed with breachers and Faucon missiles) Tertiary: 4x Short elbow and knee blades that spring out and lock if past a certain angle (say if the elbow is bent past 90 degrees, they pop out enabling a piercing/slashing elbow strike as usually you wouldn’t walk around town with your elbows bent, same principle for the knees) (1 on each knee or elbow) ———————————————————————— Utility: Raptor Drive: 2 jet engines on the back of the Jaeger for bursts of extreme mobility, speed, aiding in jumps, short flight and breaking falls. Adler Stabilizers: Metallic wings/stabilizers that deploy when the Raptor Drive turns on, to improve stability or agility. Talons: 2 hooked blades that come out of the heel for extra traction and sometimes for slicing. (1 behind each heel) ———————————————————————— Combat style: Raptor’s mainly built around agility and speed, the breachers blast open heavy armor and the blades slice them open. The Faucon missiles target sensors, weak spots and exposed insides. In combat Raptor relies on dodging with the Raptor Drive and the Adler Stabilizers to bring the enemy into a disadvantageous position (like behind the target). When dodging past the enemy she/it can use the Jian blades to slash at the sides. If she/it are face to face with their target and unable to dodge, she/it can give it some bladed elbow and knee strikes to the face/chest. Once a sufficient amount of armor has been breached, either from breachers or blades, Raptor fires the Faucon missiles into the wounds (she/it can also slice up the insides by stabbing the Jian blades deep inside and slicing everything). The music is the main theme of the first Pacific Rim movie. Art/Pictures are form the first Pacific Rim movie.
