What would your country's Jaeger look like?

[Mersadeon]

Straightforward question - specifically to those who are from the countries that don't have one. Or even if your country does have one - how would it look if it came from your specific region?
Jaegers seem to be an embodiment of the culture that built them - essentially, a stereotype given a gigantic, metal form to pound Kaiju with.

(And yes, I KNOW that this doesn't make too much sense, since only countries with a pacific coast need Jaegers. This is for fun, people.)

I'll go first, of course: Germany, specifically Northrhine-Westphalia, Europe's most dense population centre. The former iron-and-coal heart of german industry.
According to stereotypes, it wouldn't have any colouring - nothing other than practical. Martial, boxy design with lots of moving parts visible through the plates. And if it has ranged weapons, it's probably going to be tiny V2-shaped rockets or simply a barrage of bullets. And it would be big. I mean, if we go by WWII stuff... germans built this kind of thing: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Gesch%C3%BCtzDora2.JPG which fired this ammunition: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:80cm_Gustav_shell.jpg .

Or we go by the modern stereotype: A Jäger running on green energy, which can't fight and just kindly requests Kaiju to talk and find a compromise. ;P

A Jager made in Argentina would probably fall apart instantly and cause the deaths of several bystanders. The government would sue the presidency, the presidency would sue the government, a year would go by, finally some meaningless tertiary private company scapegoat would get indicted and dismantled, Ricardo Darín would star in an inspired-by-true-events movie some years later and hereafter everybody would bring up the incident in their campaign rallies as a form of half-baked demagogy. Meanwhile, millions of pesos would suddenly and mysteriously vanish. You get the picture.

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.

Well, considering that Kazakhstan and Russia are as close as two countries could possibly be, we definitely invested in Cherno Alpha. However, I imagine pure Kazakh Jaeger to be fast and agile, specializing in Hit-and-run attacks, akin to our historic Nomads. And he would also be blue. So, fast, agile, small and blue. And his name would be something like Azure Nomad or Nomad Echo.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

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.

First thought: Probably incredibly stupid, and likely emblazoned red, white, and blue, with a giant, impractical star or eagle bolted right onto the forehead because "PATRIOTIC!"

Second thought: Maybe like Bayformers' Optimus Prime.

Third thought: Those are probably one in the same.

Eh, I'd have thought the British Jaeger would be a blond guy that'd followed a grumpy short guy looking for monsters to die at.

 

[Erttheking]

Well if it came from the MA area, our Jeager would probably be very heavily designed with underwater combat in mind. It'd probably have propellers for propelling itself forward underwater along with torpedo tubes, and would probably be on the skinny side with...I don't know, spiked knuckles for it's main weapon. It'd focus on dancing around the Kaiju one way or another and whittling it down. I haven't actually seen the movie yet (want to though) so I'm kinda grasping in the dark here on how they're designed.

Oh Jesus Christ I just realized that I live near the cost, we could very possibly be on the front lines.

A New Zealand Jaeger would most definitely be one of the newer, leaner ones. Can't have nuclear giant robots representing our country!

EDIT: Can't believe no one has posted this yet so...go crazy making your own. [http://apps.warnerbros.com/pacificrim/designer/us/]

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

A better question would be: What would your country's Mobile Fighter Gundam look like?
In Holland's case, it's a giant Windmill:

Kudos to Pacific Rim for not going that route...

 

[Diablo2000]

Probably wouldn't be a brazilian Jaeger since the building would be riddled with scandals involving politics grabbing money from the project for themselfs and would be delayed indefinetly.

 

[Weaver]

I have a feeling the Canadian one would be made of lumber.

I detect a pattern here.

These two have the right idea. Once again, G Gundam comes to the rescue and makes this an easy choice:

A giant (American) football player/boxer? I'm okay with this.

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

AMERICA!

FUCK YEAH!

I would prefer if giant death robots did not fight within 1 mile of my home....

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.

Why am I reminded of this movie?

Foolish capitalist nations, the lands of oppression and the lapdogs to American imperialism.

The People's Democratic Republic of Korea has created the original and ultimate "People's Defense Robot," which American copied and claimed all the credit.

Spoiler: Behold the glory of the true Korea's fighter of the monsters, piloted by Kim Jung Un HIMSELF.
