** So the Jaegers can adapt to the apparently-infinity-variable Kaiju quicker and more easily. Bugger won't stay still? Grab a net of meter-thick carbon-nanotube rope and let fly. Blades and blasts glancing off a shell thicker than a teenager's skull? [[DropTheHammer Drop the hammer]] and crack it open like a walnut.

** The problem with all these theories connecting ''Pacific Rim'' to ''MonsterVerse'' is that there timelines just don't match up. In the ''Pacific Rim'' timeline, the first kaiju appeared in 2013 and destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge. In the ''MonsterVerse'' timeline, Godzilla destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge and kaiju were already known to humanity. As such if the two series existed in the same universe, there would be severe ContinuitySnarl that would require massive retcons. Sorry kaiju fans but this is all Jossed.

* TransformingMecha: Not only a gratuitous way to {{Troll}} the Creator/MichaelBay ''{{Transformers}}'' movies, but also can be handwaved as attempting to give Jaegers more mobility than a slightly clutzy HumongousMecha (along with opportunities for CombiningMecha, a la Franchise/PowerRangers), either to reduce collateral damage from knocking around in city centers, or to fight equally more "streamlined" Kaiju (who, in this idea, are a bunch of smaller creatures that ZergRush as either a prelude or support force for the gigantic Kaiju). These Jaegers will be smaller to allow them the ability to transform into vehicles, and thus will only need one pilot (albeit one who's good syncing in both Mecha mode, and Vehicle mode). Assuming a vehicle "team" can transform into one CombiningMecha, all of the pilot minds sync up when they combine.

The kaiju are really Ogdru Hem. They’re both gigantic Main/EldritchAbomination monsters that breathe blue or green flames. Both are also nearly unstoppable by normal means. They even have the same frog men in the form of the smaller creatures on the other side of the Rift, both the frogs and the smaller creatures seem to be meant to inherit the new world after the Ogdru Hem destroy it. The Rift was opened by occult means and the [[SealedEvilinaCan Ogdru Jahad]] will come through once the kaiju have made the Earth ready for them. Also Creator/GuillermoDelToro directed both movies. Maybe in this universe the BRPD and Hellboy were destroyed or never existed.

[[WMG: If two Jaeger pilots that have been piloting their Jaeger for an extended period of time end up KIA, there is an unusual tendency for the Jaeger to "reject" any further attempts to pilot it.]]
This builds on the idea that a Jaeger carries a limited degree of sentience as implied by the novelization. Essentially, if both a Jaeger's pilots end up KIA but the Jaeger itself is still intact, it's not an uncommon occurrence for consistent Drift errors and malfunctions to occurr whenever another pair attempts to pilot it. The people who do try will often report that they involuntarily end up reliving the moment that the previous pilots were killed.

Hermann got sick of people joking that he and Newt are a couple, or something like that, so he invented the perfect, ideal, made-up girlfriend. She's a model! And she's having his baby! And she looks kind of like the hot fighting lady from ''Series/{{Firefly}}'', but also kind of like the cute lab assistant from ''Series/{{Fringe}}''. Sounds made-up to me...

* A future film will show the Kaiju as genetically engineered bioweapons are as much as victims of the Masters, as the very humans they're ordered to exterminate. They're none too happy about it. Eventually a mutant strain in the HiveMind starts to manifest, and spread out to where the creatures have effectively TurnedAgainstTheirMasters. Said Precursors, '''are furious''' at their own bioweapons openly defying them, and decide if the uprising cannot be quelled, then the Earth invasion [[ItsTheOnlyWayToBeSure is a lost cause that must be purged]]. So the Masters opt to [[EarthShatteringKaboom destroy the entire planet]] along with the rebelling Kaiju. The PPDC will be faced [[MortonsFork with a dilemma:]] Do they extinguish this anomaly in the HiveMind, to continue the war and save Earth from annihilation by the alien Precursors? Or do they assist the Kaiju rebellion, knowing if they win together, the creatures will call Earth "home" and become a MasterRace over humanity?
