Jaegers ([ˈjɛːɡɐ], Jäger, Hunter) are next generation mobile weapons. Originally pioneered by the Pan Pacific Defense Corps' Jaeger Program, the Jaegers were the most effective first and last line of defense against the Kaiju during the Kaiju War from 2014 to 2025. In 2035, the successors of the original Jaeger Program have been utilized by the reformed Pan Pacific Defense Corps. and utilized as a means of world-wide defense in the absence of the Kaiju.
Aftermath of the "Kaiju Wars" (2025-2034)
Ten years following the Battle of Breach, the Jaeger Program was reinstated as a functional organization. In the absence of the Kaiju, the Jaeger Program and the Jaegers governed by the organization was refitted into a "global defense force". As a result, Jaegers were no longer built to protect or represent any given country. Fully militarized, Jaegers began acting as border patrol for cities around the Pacific Rim, enforcing the law of the PPDC where violations are made.

One of the design tenants put forth by Guillermo del Toro in Pacific Rim was the emphasis of weight and scale of the Jaegers. del Toro, who was involved in every aspect of the Jeagers, placed emphasis on designing the them with a level of realism that would show how they would impact the surrounding environment. Industrial Light and Magic's Hal Hickel and Alex Jaeger relayed that conveying the speed of the 250 foot tall machines with various moving parts in their design required camera trickery that slowed or speed up certain action sequences, but never betrayed the weight and scale that del Toro asked of the effects team.
During the production of Pacific Rim: Uprising, on-set supervisor Dave Merritt explained that the aim of the sequel was make convey a level of "speed and momentum and slickness,” for the sequel on the basis that massive technological advances were made during the ten year gap in the film's universe.
John Boyega conveyed that he disliked how the Jaegers moved in the original film[note 3], and hired Liang Tang, a fight coordinator for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, to give the Jaegers a stronger “martial arts feel”. Production Designer Stefan Dechant stated that director Steven S. DeKnight and producer Cale Boyter wanted action sequences between the Jaegers to resemble the choreography used in Doug Liman's The Bourne Identity, placing emphasis on the speed of the Jaegers. “There'll just be a much faster movement in there. There's that level of speed and momentum and that slickness,” says Dechant.
When discussing the special weapons used by the Jaegers, DeKnight and producer Boyter cited video games as a major inspiration. DeKnight and Boyega compared the weapons and special attacks of the Jaegers in Uprising to finishing moves featured in fighting games.[note 4]
•According to Steven S. DeKnight, "Battle Witch" was one of several rejected Jaeger names considered.
1.John Boyega: [...]"The masses of poor huddled on the coasts have decided to start building their own giant machines. If there’s going to be a fight, they’re going to make sure they’re ready for it. That brings him into contact with newcomer Cailee Spaeny’s amateur Jaeger pilot, Amara, who is building one of her own battle-bots."

3.Boyega: " “They were like, "What did you feel about the first film," and I told them straight up the stuff that I didn't like and the stuff I wanted to see more of,” says Bodega. “I wish the robots would hurry up, just hurry up.”"
4.John Boyega: “She's a beauty! They're slicker. They're faster. [They have] new moves. And what's great about Jaegers, they all have like a 'Y' button, a special move that makes them significant and cool. What's great about her is that you get to embody the characters also who are inside the Jaegers.”

- Gipsy Avenger. Embracing the iconic and familiar design to the main Jaeger of Pacific Rim 1, the Gipsy Avenger is the successor to Gipsy Danger. This Jaeger still operates on a two-pilot drift system but the cockpit tech has changed significant with operator feet no longer locked into place, and holographic displays that mirror the action and weapons on the pilot.
- Bracer Phoenix. The oldest design of the five main Jaegers in Pacific Rim Uprising (they're all Mark VI units and the Bracer Phoenix is a Mark V), the Bracer Phoenix is the real "brute force" of the fleet and can hold its own with its special ability: This three-pilot rig can allow one pilot to drop down to the Bracer Phoenix's chest area to operate the devastating pair of Vortex Cannons.
- Guardian Bravo. The Guardian Bravo is another brute force jaeger who has a really cool weapon "Graphine Arc Whip" allowing it to specialize in ranged combat.
- Titan Redeemer. The Titan Redeemer is easily recognizable thanks to the "ball of death" attached to the end of its arm. "Built for brute force and armed with a seismic morningstar, Titan Redeemer is the walking wrecking ball of the new fleet."
