There's only one explanation for all of this: Apeture Science has successfully bought out Nerv Headquarters.

Yeah, what is with the Russian's head armor? Is headbutting its main mode of attack or something? It could just be pilots protection, but the other Jaegers don't have that kind of protection for the heads.

[up]It does make for a distinctive silhouette for sure, but on the other hand the huge helmet thing make the Russian's Jaeger look too top-heavy, for me at least.

The Russian Jaeger looks interesting. I haven't been following everything so I can't tell the others apart, but I remember the Russian one.

Goddamnit. Just once, I want to see a film in which jet pilots don't go "Beyond visual range targeting is for pussies, DIVEBOMB HERP DERP".

With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars.

I don't know why, but the Russian one made me think of a Tesla Trooper from the Command And Conquer Red Alert series.

A giant, robotic Tesla Trooper that headbutts monsters in the face.

Obviously at the end they all combine, with the Russian one being the head

We're all talking about the Russian Jaeger... is it too soon to call it the Ensemble Dark Horse of the film?

Until we find out that the Crimson Typhoon spin with those three arms in a flurry of fists and other weaponry.

It'll then mimic the pilots vomiting.

Comparisons are just a way for people to define something. Sometimes it's an insult, sometimes it isn't.
