What's up guys CJ
Here and welcome back to another [all-new] Pacific Rim video this week another
Jaeger Origin story when you guys have expressed a ton of interest in is a very, very special mech striker
Eureka Striker is special and unique for a few reasons
but the biggest of them all as of the first movie striker was the
only Mark 5 Jaeger ever built in Fact by the time in the movie
He was actually the newest and last Jaeger built before the PPDC opted to build the Pacific Rim wall
commissioned and constructed for a cool hundred billion dollars in
2019 six Years before the events of that first movie striker was funded by the Australian
government to protect it's pacific coast from Kaiju attacks with Fisher's
Devastating attack on Sydney in 2014 is still fresh in their minds
Piloted by father and son team Hercules and Chuck Hansen striker was actually the third
Australian Jaeger developed after Lucky 7 hercules first Jaeger and Vulcan Spectre a mark 3
There's some speculation that mark one Jaeger Tango Tasmania might have also been australian
Just given its name
But as far as I know that's never officially been
Clarified and interestingly enough its actual name is still a source of mystery after striker's construction was completed in 2019
Hercules was reassigned from seven to joined his son chuck in piloting the new mech the Capable Duo combine what the strongest and
Fastest mechs the program had to offer were formidable
racking up the most kind you kills of any Jaeger at 11 total with an incredible nine of those coming on solo drops by
2024 the Jaeger Programs Budget was
Ballooning to maintain the existing yaegers while many fell and couldn't be replaced due to the massive price tag building new ones carry
Seeing this is a long-term
untenable strategy in
2024 the UN Security Council made a decision to move away from the program in Favour of the anti Kaiju wall
Eureka was decommissioned and the hansens were given an early retirement however things changed very suddenly in
2025 with the wall nearing 100% completion the plan was shattered as the Kaiju mutavore broke through the wall with ease
Tearing into Sydney and destroying the two Jaegers stationed there
Vulcan Specter and Echo Saber striker and the Hansens jumped back into action taking out mutavore
but only after massive devastation and the loss of two more yeagers with the wall plan both literally and
metaphorically in shambles the UN and the PPDC were sent
Scrambling strIker took on a larger role than ever before as the premier yeager a stopgap and last line of defense one of only four
Remaining Jaeger's after the mutavore incident which brings us right up to the events of the movie as for its technical specs striker stands
250 feet weighing in at nearly 2,000 tons. With an upgraded arsenal, it's easily the strongest of the Jaegers as well as the fastest
Thanks in part to its stabilizing wings and powerful Supercell reactor. It's weapon systems
Have some of the most variety ever seen in the Jaeger program
With advanced hand-to-hand technology like a heavy brass steel compound in its knuckles to add extra impact Force behind its blows and knife like wrist
Holstered sting blades which cut and
Burn their monstrous foes as for conventional weapons
Eureka also features six chest mounted missile tubes each capable of firing three
Specialized anti Kaiju warheads each which were developed in conjunction with Dr.
kysler's research on Kaiju anatomy for maximum effectiveness
But that's about it for a primer on striker lots of information to digest
I know, so I apologize, but outside of gipsy. He's really the Jaeger. We saw the most in the movie itself
So there's way more details readily available for me to synthesize and pass on to you guys
Let me know what you thought and who you'd like to see next, but that's going to do it for me here
