Check out the "fastest and strongest" jaeger from Guillermo Del Toro's 'Pacific Rim'


Yesterday saw us receiving more promo material on Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim than many movies see over the course of months. After seeing very little from it since last summer's Comic-Con, Warner Bros. made up for it in a big way by launching an expansive viral marketing campaign with cool video footage of the film's giant monsters devastating San Francisco, and also a trio of blueprints of the massive Jaegers, the robots humans use to do battle.

A fourth blueprint has been found over at Yourmovies.au, an Australian website which makes sense because this Jaeger is from the land down under. Stationed at the Sydney Shatterdome, this Jaeger is known as the Striker Eureka, and is "the most advanced battle machine ever assembled: the biggest, fastest and strongest Jaeger ever to walk the earth." This design reminds me a little bit of the old Robotech/Jetfire models, and should look amazing on the big screen.

Pacific Rim arrives on July 12th 2013.
