What would your country's Jaeger look like?

[CrazyBlaze]

I imagine Canada's would be plaid with the colours being red and white, it would have a large beard (out of witch missiles would fly) and carry a large axe. Instead of a thunk when it made a hit it would say sorry or eh or hozzer. It would also run on beer and beer bottles.

 

[DefunctTheory]

I would have payed good money to see this as America's Jaeger.

Spoiler: The Atlas

Spoiler

Pennsylvania - Bring back Pittsburgh Steel!

Is that an Atlas from MechWarrior? (pretty sure atlas are not that mobile/nimble like in the first picture. Even the Melee focused mechs like the Hatchetman couldn't perform moves like that).

If so, god I hope not. Atlases in MechWarrior 4 were the easiest mech to kill. even crappy mechs could one shot them with a headshot.

We don't mention Mechwarrior 4.

Ever.

In Battletech canon (The board game Mechwarrior is based off of), Atlas's were capable of picking up smaller mech and hurling them (Though this was not possible in game).

Mechwarrior always had a problem with the Atlas due to the large head, which due to game mechanics was always under armored. Oddly enough, the Mad Cat (What it's punching) should have had an even worse issue, but the compensated by reducing the heads hit box to the size of a thimble, while the Atlas was left the same.

No idea why.

Ideally, if the mech was 'real,' the fact that the windows are small and the head obviously over armored would be taken into account.

Poland already had one decades ago:

Ain't it awesome?

Only one thing could possibly encompass all that is America in one form.

We are currently working on some prototypes. They're still too small and humanlike, but we will get there.

Also Spiderman.

Because we already have the American Jaegar, I'ma go with an Iowa-based Jaegar. It would be Red on the left side, Blue on the right side, be powered by corn-based fuel, have a giant nose, and would fire flaming pigs.

 

[Mid Boss]

The American Jaeger would be covered in corporate sponsorship stickers like a NASCAR racer and would be the only Jaeger that runs on gas. It would have giant American flags jutting up from it shoulders and it would have a giant chrome ball sack for absolutely no reason except to make the driver... I mean pilot... more secure in his own sexual inadequacies. Of coarse, piloting it would be made into a reality TV show and they would have a series of the most offensively brain dead people they could find in the Jersey area to drive the thing. It will be loaded with a giant gun but legal authorization to use it will only be issued when the Kaiju has black or brown skin.

I have yet to see the movie, but if this isn't what the American Jaeger looks like I will be very disappointed.

Don't really see why the U.S. would a Jaeger, we already got Paul Bunyan. But we would have to share him with Canada...

better make a Paul Bunyan Jaeger just to be safe.

Why would a landlocked country need one anyway? I guess when the true swarm appears.

Judging by how we design our military hardware, I assume America's would be very very utilitarian with few superfluous parts.
Except for the paintjob which would be a riot of stars and bars, maybe an eagle or two.

If my (landlocked) state made one It would probably look like a red football player made from old John Deere farm equipment.

Sorry, double post... thanks Obama

 

[FPLOON]

As much as I want the American Jaegar to be all patriotic and almost be like the "husband" equivalent to Lady Liberty, herself... Given my coastal background, I kinda wished it to look like a coastal surfer that yells out "Dude!" or "Cowabunga!" every time it launches into battle... and sometimes spews out 90s-style comebacks whenever it felt like it...
(I would volunteer to pilot it... but, I have not become one with the waves, man...)

 

[Fijiman]

Spoiler: Something like this

Kaiju, you game is through, because now you have to answer to...

AMERICA!

FUCK YEAH!

I have to agree. You can't go wrong Liberty Prime.

 

[Kingjackl]

As an Australian, I found it odd that our Jaeger was apparently the best and most powerful. You'd think that one would belong to the Americans, or possibly the Germans.

Disregarding that, we should have a Jaeger shaped like a giant kangaroo. It would hop around and uses kickboxing techniques to fight the kaijuu. Also, it has a pouch containing a smaller, one-man Jaeger.

Funny thing about that...

In California, there's this big statue of him near this tree reserve place, and he talks. And I don't mean like pre-recorded stuff, I mean there's actually a guy hidden away somewhere who responds to whats going on in that courtyard. I remember because the big statue actually responded to something I said while I was there. I don't know where the microphone or the guy is hidden away, but it's a fun little thing.
Anyway.
Since the US already has Gipsy Danger, let's go with the more specific Washington state.
Oddly, enough it would still probably be Paul Bunyan, we're pretty big on our trees.
So it would be a big Paul Bunyan wielding (in place of a big ol' boat) either a ludicrously oversized ax or the Space Needle, either way's fine by me.

This... is a fantastic idea!

As usual, Ghostbuster did is first.

I like the look of this Jaeger. She's all business.

EDIT: yes, I know you said husband. But I had to run with it.

 

[Abomination]

If I really wanted to go cultural AND practical at the same time a New Zealand Jager wouldn't be bipedal, it would be 4 legged and designed for aquatic combat rather than land based.

It would look a bit more elongated than this:
http://www.deviantart.com/morelikethis/143027483/anthro/traditional/other?view_mode=2#/art/Taniwha-Design-106747173?_sid=7325be11

The Taniwha, a Maori water creature/spirit. The Maori believe that spirits traveled under the ground, not through the air, and water spirits were guardians of waterways.

New Zealand, being an island, would be far better off protecting itself with an aquatic robot than a land based combatant.

I'll go first, of course: Germany, specifically Northrhine-Westphalia, Europe's most dense population centre.

I would have expected a giant gothic armoured knight wielding a flamberage. Quite slow and plodding with its footwork but with solid grounding and powerful downward strike.

 

[Lunar Templar]

It would be exactly like this. Hell, the first time the Canadian Gundam fought was in Niagara Fall's basin. Perfect setup for a Kaiju attack.

mother fu ....

I WAS GONNA MAKE THE G-GUNDAM JOKE!!

-.-

jerk ....

Don't try to pretend you didn't see this coming.

Only pussies use ranged weapons.

I get it... Besides, America would have two Jeagers, then... One male and one female... *trying not to laugh* So, that's where my tax money is going towards... and I'm totally fine with it, dude... (Cowabunga!)

A Canadian Jaeger would have a beaver tail for countering sneak attacks, a loon beak for a laser, bear claws to rip kaijus to shreds, and moose antlers for extreme headbutting.
