Pacific Rim: Gipsy Danger - Spacedock Planetside

[@StrayNickel]

"PROPULSION: High-mobility Articulated Legs." Best description I've ever seen

[@SpearM3064]

Reminds me of the old _Earthsiege_ video games. You were piloting a robot called a HERCULAN: Humaniform-Emulation Roboticized Combat Unit with Leg-Articulated Navigation. (Makes me wonder how hard they had to work to come up with that acronym?)

[@Irondrone4]

The way I usually sell people on the movie is thus: You see, there is a moment where the giant robot has to punch a monster, but someone on the design team decided that the robot couldn't punch hard enough on its own. So, the robot activates an elbow rocket so that it can punch the monster in the face even harder.

[@KentheDeer]

Irondrone4 I’ll never forget seeing that moment for the first time. I giggled with glee...!

[@brianhenry152]

"This is either the dumbest awesome movie ever, or the most awesome dumb movie ever!"

[@kineticdeath]

elbows rockets is kind of like being punched in the face by a falcon heavy. You dont just shrug that off

[@WhiteWeaseI]

Reminds me of Big O's giant piston arms.

[@SpearM3064]

@@kineticdeath Someone actually did the math on that. Being hit by the elbow rocket is roughly the same amount of energy as being hit by a fully-loaded 747 aircraft moving at 65 kph.

[@Rimasta1]

I thought it was funny that humanity’s answer to the Kaiju attacks was to build big robots to punch them in the face.

[@Evil0tto]

If you read the "Tales from Year Zero" prequel comic, the scientist behind the Jaeger program sees his young son playing with a robot toy and realizes that it's actually a perfect solution. It spares cities the destruction of a nuke, limits the spread of kaiju blood, and is eminently adaptable.

[@darwinxavier3516]

Also, fists are like reusable missiles.

[@Rimasta1]

Evil Otto Interesting, I didn’t know that was the design inspiration.

[@Rimasta1]

Darwin Xavier More like reusable battering rams.

[@juanfernandez1696]

Evil Otto unfortunately the writers for the sequel throo out the part about saving the city for the sake of mindless action and want on destruction. Now the only thing worse than a Kaiju attack is the jeagers coming to "save you" from it.

[@Daimon-X]

Gipsy Danger > Gipsy Avenger

[@jesta7837]

Guillermo del Toro's actual vision > Bunch of Hollywood hacks trying to make another transformer franchise.

[@psiprime]

And still gipsy Danger is better than Avenger

[@felixleong61]

Aesthetically wise the uprising jaegers are pretty good. It is just that the movie sucked so bad. Even though I also like Gipsy Avenger too, she is unfortunately not portrayed in a way that will make her a true successor to Gipsy Danger : An iconic, legendary badass giant robot that rise up in humanity’s darkest hour and defeated the Kaiju threat with multiple memorable moments plus piloted by COMPETENT, EXPERIENCED and QUALIFIED individuals.

[@psiprime]

@@felixleong61 yea but in uprising they were too fast and Not like the first movie

[@onur97able]

A suprise to be sure but a welcome one

[@TheVeritas1]

This is a pleasant surprise. Gipsy Danger is among my favorite giant robots.

[@flynnstone3133]

TheVeritas1 You don’t get the joke...

[@eskreskao]

Always remember the day we canceled the Apocalypse.

[@raijinmeister]

This movie is terribly underrated. Great vid. When will we have a spacedock about the Sov Class from Star Trek?

[@jesta7837]

Too bad the franchise has been utterly ruined with the sequel

[@pokeface119]

You can't turn a Nuclear Reactor into a nuclear bomb, but you can put it into a meltdown and eject the core underwater which would then release the (If it used) 2,800*C uranium's heat into the nearby water turning the area into a massive explosion anyways because the water would instantly get turned into steam (Which has like 1,000x more volume than water)

[@battlekid6177]

they likely added the self destruct so if your Jager cant keep going with a kaiju still alive they can then still kill it.

[@zachawkes2842]

YESSSSSS! Seeing as you're using the Supreme Commander music, you should make a video about the Armoured Command Unit (ACU)!

[@DarthEarp]

im sure they are saving that one for a subscriber milestone

[@ZeHeavyArmor]

Ah the ACU, the cornerstone unit of 3 of the most overpowered planetside factions ever

[@collguyjoe99]

I think he's dead.....let's check for a pulse....pew, pew, pew, pew...ya no pulse....

[@TheVeritas1]

I Loved that scene.

[@danielpucher3367]

Rule #2 Double Tap

[@MkZuO12345]

EMPTY THE CLIP!

[@bottasheimfe5750]

huh. so i guess they were thinking about the Kaiju that critically damaged Gypsy Danger before the movie started.

[@jeffanderson8165]

Actually, that was a pretty important line. Before that point, we saw none of that sort of mindset from Mako; only the mindset of a dedicated warrior. Remember when she criticized Raleigh's lack of obedience and adherence to orders, claiming that it was his unnecessary risk taking that made him more of a detriment than an advantage? This line showed that he unleashed something in her that showed that the two of them really *were* drift compatible; their minds could think in such a similar way... ... but only if *she* would allow herself to open up...

[@enz025]

awesome, I would love to see more on the Jaegers from the films!

[@williamnorton9547]

Since you have done a video on a giant manned robot, I'd love to see you do a video on one of the best manned giant robots from my childhood, Voltron.

[@PTNLemay]

Are there a lot of specs laid out anywhere for it? It looked really cool, but I don't remember having a lot of fluff describing the tech.

[@jakobmorris1483]

please do cherno alpha its my favourite and i love the inspiration it took from Russian t line tank designs and the general feel when its on screen.

[@benjaminluck4024]

Do a video on all the robots in Pacific Rim

[@nel1962]

Great! Cherno Alpha next!

[@tylermcniece574]

Analog to the rescue!

[@Voltaic_Fire]

Pacific Rim has many things but none more than awesome names for stuff.

[@meaty1079]

loved it lets see cherno alpha please please please

[@Bresonande]

Now do more of these.

[@jrosa__]

Striker Eureka and Crimson Typhoon next?

[@artios162]

The 2nd movie doesn't exist. It doesn't.

[@Mustang-ll9ud]

Yeah... The 2nd one is a complete rip-off

[@Evil0tto]

Yes. There was no second movie.

[@hamanotaiki3591]

What second movie ?

[@BlinciLIVE]

Wait Pacific Rim has a sequel. I would of heard of it by now. It’s too good for a sequel anyway.

[@Spaceman404.]

How about the Martian Fighting-Machine, the original planetary assault weapon?

[@JustTooDamnHonest]

As much as I liked this film for being basically Gundams versus Monsters. The physics would tell you that the Jaegers weight could not be supported by Earth's gravity considering how massive the Jaegers are.

[@MrPeanut624]

Is that Supreme Commander I hear in the background? Awesome video!

[@cycoticmongoose]

WorldsWithin Yeah you're right! I think the track is called "Risk Relief and Victory"

[@lewisirwin5363]

Seems more fitting than usual on this vid!

[@cycoticmongoose]

Lewis Irwin Oh definitely! Giant robots are a staple of both universes

[@toymatt]

I'm really glad to see another edition to Space Dock Planetside.

[@smartgunner0511]

Please do more of this it help a lot of people understand more about pacific rim

[@MatthewMk27]

That was great. Would be cool if you did some more Pacific Rim videos.

[@bsquared9]

Great choice of music -- I love the Supreme Commander games (especially Forged Alliance :) )

[@GAdmThrawn]

I would love to see more Jaegers.

[@coltinyancey3671]

Gypsy was a brawler, brutally beating down until the kiju crumpled. My only critique is I wish Gypsy had stomped on leatherback post engagement saving the second plasma caster, but that would have been very gory for pg13

[@one-eyejawa3128]

I love this movie. So under rated.

[@danielramsey6141]

Really wish you could do some more Pacific Rim jaeger profiles. But I'm glad you do Alot of Ship talk.

[@TheFirstObserver]

Man, that music makes me wish you would do an episode on Supreme Commander's ACUs. I loved those games, and there's just something glorious about a giant robot that acts as a planetary siege unit! Hell, I'd even help you write the thing. I've practically memorized the lore. :P

[@ThatBloodraven0145]

That was pretty cool, would like to see more jeager's

[@CC-Fil]

*jaegers

[@GammaDestroyer]

@@buraisublue6035 - Jaeger (jäger) means hunter in German. Since they basically hunt Kaiju, it fit. Nothing to do with Cthulutech.

[@mrridley8967]

great video

[@diegoviniciomejiaquesada4754]

Awesome. I hope you will do other Jeagers too.

[@Tar-Numendil]

How could you not like Pacific Rim? Humanity builds giant robots to combat giant invading aliens? Fuck yeah! Even the names of the Jaegers are badass. Gipsy Danger, Striker Eureka, Cherno Alpha, Crimson Typhoon, Horizon Brave, Coyote Tango, Brawler Yukon, Romeo Blue, Tacit Ronin, the list goes on.

[@davidroberts756]

Oh, I was wondering when you'd cover this series! Keep more of these coming! @Spacedock :)

[@philrm99]

Love the design.

[@taylormakaiknightburleson]

Awsome can't wait to see more of the jaegers

[@thomasscaife6867]

You should do some videos on the Umbarans’ crazy vehicles.

[@mindbender3379]

BOOM!!!! Thank you for doing this Vid - great info!! My 6 yr old will love this!! :-)

[@Bisexual_Sovereign]

Ahh yes Good ol jipsy danger

[@matthewk.5118]

Paco Acosta You could have just edited the comment....

[@mrtno4582]

OH HELL YEAH

[@Techno_Bunny433]

K so in the movie gipsy technically went to space so I guess it counts as a space craft

[@pendraco2000]

planetside's about all the ground combat vehicles ;)

[@thanos3784]

Technically it went to another world/dimension, so it never saw space.

[@FrozenPhoenix15]

Titan Of Titans I think he’s referencing when Leatherback grabbed Gypsy Danger and flew up to the stratosphere.

[@thanos3784]

FrozenPhoenix15 still not space if it's stratosphere.

[@tech-priesttoast2686]

FrozenPhoenix15 that was otachi, not leatherback

[@TheSuperQuail]

"Digital power cores?"

[@ColonelFrontline1152]

Never thought you'll make a video on the "Pacific Rim Series".

[@arelpasha9309]

Colonel Frontline I mean it technically counts as a ship

[@ColonelFrontline1152]

[Dat Guy] Jaegers are "Mechs" not "Ships".

[@arelpasha9309]

Colonel Frontline yes I know that but it still classifies as the sort of thing spacedock would make videos about

[@ColonelFrontline1152]

[Dat Guy] Why don't you ask him if "Mechs are truly "Ships. Or better yet ask anyone on KZbin.

[@arelpasha9309]

Colonel Frontline I’m not here to argue semantics, I’m just saying that it’s understandable that spacedock would make a video about this sort of thing

[@ThePiousMan]

Never would I dream that this "walker" would made it to Planetside.

[@ethanfischer1368]

Thank the lord, I love Pacific rim

[@alexthewhale6915]

gotta love that supcom music

Bwa bwa bwa bwa bwa bwaaaaa

[@Delta-1X-Ray]

Spacedock. It's already 4 month's since SW the last jedi. Can you do some reviews on the mega class star destroyer? There hasn't been a review on how many turbolasers, ion cannons, docks, and there's no information on its hyperspace tracker!

[@nathanwheeler2047]

This was great please do more of these and battletech mechs or robotech

[@Funkography]

Spacedock, what is your ideal Star Wars Fleet?

[@harndarball]

Its... it’s beautiful...

[@matthewkaiser7803]

hey hey - battlezone theme!

[@KGC-000B]

Please more of this

[@Decacommand]

You did pasific rim... Lets see you try and tackle the evas!

[@randomrealistictone2231]

Can you do more 40k ships and weapons?

[@Dude3210123456]

I support this

[@Melancholiccube]

The Omnnisiah would be pleased.

[@Dude3210123456]

Praise Mars and it's Ring Of Iron!

[@SwiftGundam]

This was a surprise. And a wake up call. I need to hurry with my projects.

[@MasterOfCybertron]

Any possibility of more Starship Troopers Universe videos on the movies, animated tv series and novel? (maybe games too?)

[@eliaspeter7689]

Jeez man slow down! :) Great video by the way!

[@eltomaxmidwest6553]

Have you considered doing lifeform/creature reviews? Spartans, Godzilla, etc..

[@AsbestosMuffins]

do homeworld's mothership someday, its such an underrated piece of space tech

[@DARKNESS7STRIKE]

إلا يبدو مدفع البلازما مألوفاً؟ Does the plasma cannon seem familiar?

[@Arashmickey]

Gipsy they're behind you, on that skyscraper!

[@Stukov961]

On the theme of giant mechs, how about a video about the Warlord Titan of 40k.

[@rdgk1se3019]

I would like to know just what is and how does a "Nuclear Vortex" works.

[@gensischosen251]

Please do more about Pacific rim things!

[@matthewtalbot6505]

Can the next Planetside be on the 'Scorpion' M808 Main Battle Tank?

[@househendoe]

Great Vid! Can we get a "Big O" breakdown

[@francoisxavier3006]

In my head canon, this Jagger was clearly name as an homage to the chief engineer favorite striper.

[@brianhead4720]

That was great. More mechs please.

[@Over10rDPrime]

Pure Gold!

[@Chaosmage42]

nice giant robots are a great addition

[@traveller400]

Pacific Rim was fantastic. The sequel's highlights aren't even that good. I can't believe a full theatre didn't clap at the 3 showings I went to but the 1/4 filled room of old people and grandkids fucking clapped at the end at the first showing I went to. People don't know taste.

[@jonharper4478]

We need one on Striker Eureka.

[@oriontheraptor8119]

nice do one of obsidian fury the rogue Yeager in the new movie

[@priest2001]

Great vid. Any plans to do some Battletech content? What with the new game coming out at the end of the month.

[@michaellewis1545]

Great video.

[@hyenaguy2602]

More mechs please, daddy-o

[@593556]

great video, the Yeagers ins this movie looked awesome, but not gonna lie will take Gypsy danger any day over Gypsy avenger

[@cdlord80]

More Pacific Rim!!!

[@plaid8567]

Would you consider doing videos on gundam's mobile suits?

[@IamgRiefeR7]

if it's possible, do a video of the Ulysses from Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Coolest. Submarine. Ever.

[@biscuitninja]

Cherno Alpha Please! *Oldest and heaviest of the Jeagers*

[@vincentmcbride6210]

i'm sure they would build robots like this real life if giant monsters appeared lol

[@asebeleketo1466]

Pls make Cherno Alpha pls

[@PTNLemay]

I can't fathom how some people didn't like this movie. It was concentrated fun in film form. Haven't seen the 2nd one yet, so I'll have to reserve judgement on that one.

[@rmeddy]

Uprising was trash but it was my kind of trash, I really enjoyed the action in it and the premise behind the plot, it's a shame it was executed so poorly and they couldn't get a better filmmaker to stitch the narrative together properly.

[@zeropoint216]

rmeddy1 it didn't have the heart of the first one

[@zeratul____1228]

The first was a passion project from Del Toro and it really show. Uprising was a quick cheap cash grab with an equally cheap director.

[@darwinxavier3516]

So...like Independence Day: Resurgence?

[@rmeddy]

Yeah, pretty much but I hated all the main characters in that except for the african machete guy,(seriously they should've made the movie about that dude) and the action in that movie was terrible.

[@cabeplays]

More please!

[@thecoolerrats7144]

More mecha! Give me some Battletech! They have tons of technical specs and interesting lore.

[@pendraco2000]

BTech would need its own dedicated channel, man ;)

[@neovoltron25]

Please do Voltron Legendary Defender

[@Noctis-qe2dw]

Maybe you can some stats video the Mobile Suit Gundam series?

[@linuslau541]

Hey spacedock I think you guys could have another Chanel call ground base because you make a lot of ground Vehicles and it’s a good video

[@LAV-III]

Do crimson typhoon next

[@ironflowerrevolution9165]

I think other Mecha from anime or games to move should be here

[@lanzjolofalcotelo9052]

Can you do a video on Gipsy Avenger

[@elminsteroldmage4766]

Please do the bolos from the bolo brigade books massive tanks with plasma guns called hell bores nuclear weapons that can take out starships and controlled by single human commander

[@justrandom90]

Needmore plz
