Let’s get a closer look at those Jeagers, shall we? Below, you’re able to learn more about these destructive heroes.

Gipsy Avenger

First up, we have Gipsy Avenger. You may remember there was a Jaeger in the first film named Gispy Danger, which means these two giant killer robots are probably related. Maybe they’re second cousins, twice removed.

Saber Athena

Well, hello there! Who is this? Why, it’s Saber Athena! Watch out, folks, this ‘bot means business!

Likes:Giant swords, blue fire, the movieMouse Hunt.Dislikes:When you lose that little clip thing that comes with bags of sliced bread, and then you can’t re-close the bread bag right. So frustrating!
