Knight26 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I will reserve judegement on the mech design until we actually see it, I am hoping for a less bayformer design and something more solid and well built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 *snip* WHERE IS THE GODDAMN TRAILER GUILLERMO!?!!??? Hey! Those two look nothing like Commander Shepard and Ashley. I hate the way Hollywood casts for video game movies. Grrr Rage. Just kidding, but the Mass Effect look is so strong it's not even funny. ... On topic, I'm looking for the movie and like everyone else hope the mech/giant roboto designs are nice. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twoducks Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Some new information and reactions about Pacific Rim featured on Slashfilm. http://www.slashfilm...-comiccon-2012/ The robot from the poster looks generic but still nice.... and reading this I see we will get at least half a dozen different robots (freaking AWESOME!!) Del Toro’s words can sure make you want to see the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renegadeleader1 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Cautiously optimistic. -b. Me too. As for not having any idea what it looks like I would laugh my a** off if it turns out the whole reason they aren't showing it is because its Mazinger/Mazinkaiser. Although to be honest what I've read of the plot reminds me a ton of Godannar. Older veteran pilot paired with younger newbie love interest, enemies that mutate taking on various forms, and an entire world defense force made of multinational robots. The biggest question I have is what is up with the birds/angels/flying things that is in the background of all the movie posters so far?

Mr March Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 It could be a compositional choice. Birds are often used to help provide a sense scale whenever depicting something large. Recall the Argonath's in Lord of the Rings, the Colusseum in Gladiator, etc. Birds, birds and more birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the white drew carey Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I'm looking forward to it. del Toro has yet to disappoint me. I just can't stop saying the word 'Job' in my head after reading the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetarB Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) Looks like the bastard child of a Gundam and a Evangelion mecha. It looks like there's a giant speaker in the chest - Firebomber would be proud! It says its a 'nuclear vortex turbine' - possibly a chest cannon like the Guyver, if anyone remembers that? The design in general is a bit to anthropomorphic for my taste, but I can't wait to see it in action!

DarrinG Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 That sucks. Geez man, you could get a better design than that from a random fan at a comic con. Sheesh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Just saw the viral stuff posted on Slashfilm. Definitely working for me. I'm keeping my expectations in check (even though I don't want to) but I like what I see so far. http://www.slashfilm.com/pacific-rim-viral-marketing-begins-to-warn-of-giant-monster-attack/ WIsh we could have seen a bit more of the creatures. But the way the kaiju appeared in the videos really gave a "Shadow of the Colossus" vibe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurisama Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 That sucks. Geez man, you could get a better design than that from a random fan at a comic con. Sheesh... The only thing that could use some tweaking are the arm's length - but other than that, the design is fine. Has nods to old school mecha. We haven't seen it in action yet. That's a pretty lazy insult about the design and inaccurate response about the 'random comic con'. It is my experience that the general populace at large and by association - random people at a convention can't draw, let alone design to save their lives - so relax.

Twoducks Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Lower half reminds me a lot of Iron-man. But the big chested super-hero style form does fits well with fighting evil monsters. That sucks. Geez man, you could get a better design than that from a random fan at a comic con. Sheesh... Sooo, you gonna back that up or was that just you showing us how big of a hating douche you are? There must be a Comic con near you, go, go, go, go get them to draw you a pretty picture!!

EXO Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 ooooh... i like! would love to see longer lower legs but waist and up is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyryder Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Not a fan of the stubby thighs, long calves look. In fact, I'd say the legs are just about perfect, on that Russian jaeger. It certainly has a fancy hat. Gipsy Danger has some proportion issues going on between the torso and legs, but I certainly don't hate it. Given that it looks like it's meant to operate in coastal waters, (salt water cooling intake) the longer legs kind of make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
