What would your country's Jaeger look like?

I imagine the British mech would only be half finished by the time the threat had been dealt with, be 3 times over budget even at that point and end up getting sold off to some MP's old school chum for a fraction of it's worth in a bid to recoup some of the losses from it's development. Old school chum will then sell it for scrap for ten times what he paid for it.

The british jaeger...would be a gentleman.

It would have a top hat, and would be painted red from the neck down. It would have a monocle that shoots laser beams, and in built tea makin facilities.
I imagine our jaeger bashing Kaiju skulls in with a skyscraper-sized cricket bat, and shooting them with a giant, ornate dueling pistol that fires musket balls the size of small houses.

Our Jaeger, just like our "kings palace" would stand half-built for 10 years, had alraedy cost 20 times the most expensive Jaeger cost, and the builders would request to double the price arguing that "workforce costs rises", when the pay was actually going down.

Either that or we would have a referendum to not build it, with 98% voting not to build it, because "its just a way for government to syphon money, we just expect to get protection free from other countries" (analogy in reality - atomic plant and electricity)

Since I live in America I'm just going to do what seems to be the popular thing and claim Liberty Prime. I mean come on, giant nuclear footballs.

However, personally I would want one that was vaguely in the shape of a knight and its primary weapon would be a retractable/telescopic halberd. Hands can rotate so that the thing can spin and orient it where ever it needs to aim it. Points to someone who could illustrate that.

Figured our jaeger would be made of sticks, mud and spit held together with wishful thinking and bad excuses. Or be really old like the rest of our British military hardware... Probably powered by coal...

Or slightly more optimistically, it would break the conventions [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Thin_Red_Line_(Battle_of_Balaclava)#The_battle] of building them and look utterly ridiculous [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hobarts_funnies#Gallery_showing_some_of_Hobart.27s_.22Funnies.22] (by having six legs and being primarily armed with a net or something), but in spite of everyone's incredulity, would actually do rather well [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Glatton_(1795)#North_Sea_and_Baltic].

A Scottish Jaeger would scare the shit out of anything coming at it. Big, loud, armed with just it's fists, and piloted by drunk badasses.
When the fists aren't enough, it would use a massive blade to give the Kaiju a Glasgow Grin, or a huuuuuuge caber.
