And people give Gipsy Danger a hard time about the chainswords...

Can I have new plan in nice bulletpoint form?

Plan Alpha Strike then.

• Drop Wild Ronin about 500 meters off shore if that's in between the Kaiju and the coast.
• Station ships and choppers 300 meters behind Wild Ronin if that'll let them be in range when Wild Ronin engages.
• Fire everything we've got as soon as the Kaiju comes in range.

Nice.

Votes for Plan Alpha Strike?

At least 2 I think. Mine and Badwolf's.

Sounds like a solid plan to me.

Bandwagon'd.

As the Kaiju continues its way towards Chiba, engines roar to life all across Tokyo bay. The transport copters pull Wild Ronin out of the Shatterdome and follow the same path the attack copters took earlier. Meanwhile, a flurry of patrol boats streams out of the docks and begins making the long way around to bring their weaponry to bear.

Wild Ronin is dropped into shallow water a half kilometer from the shoreline. The attack copters who had been observing the beast's approach retreat behind the Jaeger, turning around to begin aiming their long-range rockets. The PT boats arrive a few minutes later. Since their mounted rocket packs have the same range as Wild Ronin's weaponry, they take stance around the giant robot. One even drifting in between the titan's legs.

All eyes are on the massive surge of water barreling down towards humanity's defenders. As the creature enters the shallows, the ocean rolls off to reveal the Kaiju's full form.

It is indeed humanoid, with chitinous flesh covering it in a way that resembles armored plates. It's stumpy legs support a very thick torso, which holds the Kaiju's face since it appears to have no head. The mouth is massive, nearly as wide as the torso will allow it without the teeth wrapping around to the sides. Four large glowing eyes stare downwars. Two thick limbs come off its' shoulders; they're halfways between a arm and a tentacle as they lack joints but end in five-digit hands.

Once they get a full visual, HQ sends back the designation "Gutroll"

As it begins to charge forward a surge of firepower lances towards it. The helicopter squadrons fire first, (4,5,8) and two sets of rockets impacts on the creature's hide. It grunts, but continues lumbering forward. The PT boats fire one barrage before quickly hightailing away from the incoming tussle, (4,5) one salvo streaking into it. Despite all the explosion across Gutroll's body, it just continues charging forward.

Wild Ronin, defender of Tokyo, then aims its giant Revolver Cannon and fires three massive shells towards the onrushing monster. (2,7,5) One shot goes wide, but two strike true and impact across the right arm and the legs. A slit of Kaiju Blood splashes from the arm wound, dealing a very shallow wound. (1) On the other hand, the shot to the creature's legs does catastrophic damage. (10) The shot completely blows out the creature's knee and causes it to stumble forward and collapse facefirst into the shallow water. It's now lying prone, 200 meters in front of Wild Ronin.

• Gutroll's resilience ignores 5 damage!
• Gutroll takes 1 damage to right arm!
• Gutroll takes 10 damage to legs!
• Gutroll's legs are destroyed!
• Gutroll is now prone!

Your orders, commanders!?

-

Lucky shot.

Quick explanation that wasn't needed before; since it has two Pilots Wild Ronin can take two actions per turn in addition to moving, one for each side of it's body. So it can fire from the right arm and the punch with the left, punch with both, punch with one and grapple with the other...

Plan: These Boots were made for Stomping

• Stomp it
• Empty the rest of the revolver clip into it while its immobilized by our foot.

To limit Kaiju Blue spread I say we should try to finish with blunt force.

Plan Curb Stomp

• Wild Ronin does two Wild Boots, one aiming for a headshot, the other aiming for the right arm.

Plus the Wild Boots do more damage.

Alright, I suppose that makes more sense. I change my vote to Curb Stomp.

Kick it until it dies of it.

-OR-

Hold it down to see if it drowns.

Addendum: Consider some pointless trash talk.

Ooh yeah we need either a Pre or Post Mortem Oneliner ready for maximum radicalness.

Pointless Trash talk ey?

...

I got nothing. Besides "Boot to the head"

There's probably a good pun to made from the name "Gutroll," but nothing is really coming to mind.

"You had a shot but you came up short. Because I knee-capped you." And then find a giant mic to drop.

Don't get too cocky guys If it weren't capable of damaging you seriously anymore I would've ended combat.

...Let's try to finish it off with Plan Curb Stomp quickly, then. We can save the one-liners for later. Like, Cat 4s at least.

"That's one small step for kaiju, one giant stomp for Wild Ronin" ?

How's that for a one liner?

That one works for me.

In favour.

Also in the future we totally need a Steel Samurai Jaeger to help defend Neo Olde Tokyo.

If there aren't any objections to plan curb stomp I guess it's locked in, because I think that's four votes for it. I'll get to rollin'.

Don't forget the one liner

Wild Ronin strides towards Gutroll, putting it's half-emptied weapon away. The Kaiju struggle to right itself, but as it pushes up against the ocean floor Wild Ronin's foot comes down on its right arm (7). The foot crushes the limb completely; armored plates shatter effortless and the meat inside bursts apart (4,3,5,3)

Gutroll screams in fury as Wild Ronin raises it's second foot (8) and makes a second connection onto it's back delivering a sickening crunching sound. (3,4,6,5) The Creature's one remaining functional limb begins to swing back as if to strike up against the steel titan but completely loses trajectory on the way forward and splashes into the water harmlessly. It was just a spasm.

"One liner!" someone quips over the radio.

Nice. We both literally and figuratively curb stomped our first Kaiju.

So, now what? I assume we drag what's left of Gutroll to the shore to be harvested, right?
